Summary
"Can I try something?"
"Yeah, sure, g-go ahead, man." Buck cringes, and even that is adorable.
"Close your eyes."
"E-Eddie," Buck croaks helplessly.
"I'm not gonna bite, Buckley. Trust me?"
Buck closes his eyes. Squeezes them shut, really.
Eddie tugs his face into the curve of Buck's shoulder before he can lose the nerve, Buck's pulse fluttering wildly against the tip of Eddie's nose.
OR: Buck is struggling after the events in New Mexico. Eddie decides to move in with him about it.

Summary
Mi media naranja. Half an orange, right? Like—two sides of the same coin, or something. A complementary coupla guys. A little silly, maybe, referring to a grown adult as a piece of fruit, but the sentiment is sweet enough.
“Hey,” Buck asks the girl beside him. “Um, Alba. She called Rosie ‘mi media naranja’. Like—half an orange? Is that a common saying in Mexico?”
“Oh, sure,” she nods. “It’s a pretty normal term of endearment. Cheesy as hell, but, well.” She gestures at where Eddie and the two women are sitting. Alba’s holding Rosie’s hand now. “When you’ve known each other that long and fit together that well… it’s just sweet.”
My most best friend. That’s what Alba said. That’s—well, that’s who Eddie is to him, essentially. And if what Eddie’s missing is a little affection in a language that feels like home, well. Buck can give that to him.
or, buck notices the lack of spanish terms of endearment in eddie’s life since his abuela died. so, he’s armed with what he’s been reliably informed is a totally normal thing to call your buddy. Operation Make My Best Friend Feel Cherished, as he’s named it on a trial basis in the privacy of his own head, is a-go

Summary
“Mr. Diaz!” The doctor said, holding her hand up as she stepped in front of him. “Mr. Buckley came in extremely confused. I know the restraints are upsetting–”
“Upsetting?” Eddie spat out, two seconds away from shoving her out of his way.
“—But they're for his and our safety.” The doctor was quick to finish as if Eddie hadn’t said anything.
“Your safety?” Eddie demanded. “He was just tied up by some psycho couple out in the desert and you’re concerned about your safety?”
Things don't go as smoothly at the hospital as they should.

Summary
“I’m not trying to keep tabs on you,” Eddie adds, like he knows exactly what Buck was about to accuse him of. “You don’t have to tell me everything. Just… don’t disappear on me, alright?”
Eddie lingers for another second, and can feel the Eddie wants to say more but he nods once and steps out of the locker room, leaving Buck alone.
Buck stands there for a moment, one hand braced against the open locker, breathing slower now but not calmer, because Eddie’s words stick in his head.
Don’t disappear on me.
OR
After the kidnapping, Buck says he’s fine.
Everyone lets him.
That works, right up until it doesn’t.Bookmarked by TheDragon

Buck frowned. "I'm not high, Eddie, Jesus. Calm down."
"I can see your pupils," Eddie said. "Sit down, let me get you some water—"
"Jesus, Eddie," Buck snapped, pushing him away a little harder than Eddie figured he meant to. “You’re not my dad, and contrary to what everyone in that town apparently believed, you’re not my fucking boyfriend!”

Summary
A person who listens to whatever inane, mundane shit Buck is incapable of not spouting? Actually listens, with interjected questions and regular mmhms of acknowledgement? Indulgent of every tangent, every spiel, unless Buck is actively sowing terror in the hearts of victims on calls with his worst-case scenario stories.
He has that person. Eddie. According to May, that makes Eddie his person, a thought that has a bloom of warmth unfurling in his chest.
It might not be romantic, but it’s—it’s something.
And it’s worth Buck trying to get back to who they were. When their shift is over, he follows Eddie home like he might’ve done a year ago.
or, buck learns about bird theory. eddie, unsurprisingly, is the only one who passes with flying colours

Summary
“Eddie.” Maddie’s voice is soft as she pads into the room, slippers sinking into the fluffy rug. “I’ve got him whilst he’s sleeping, if you want to go home?”
Her hand settles on his shoulder, gently squeezing the tense muscle. Eddie shakes his head, digging his fingers harder into his legs.
“No,” he says, the word cracking in his throat. “No, um, I think I’ll stay.”
He can’t let Buck out of his sight. He just– He can’t.
Every time he looks away all he can see is Buck’s panicked eyes, the yellow pill bottle, Buck hunched over the toilet as tremors wracked through his body, chest spasming.
Buck looked so scared. He looked so scared.

Summary
When Bobby decided to send him and Buck on a three-night training session on fighting brush and wildfires, Eddie thought it would be at a hotel. Not a resort – he wasn't expecting a spa and a gourmet restaurant – but a basic-ass hotel would have been nice.
As they walk down the winding lane from the parking lot to their accommodations, Eddie's face falls.
“That is not a hotel,” he declares.

As he sat there feeling another man's wide mouth sucking his cock while Buck stared at him from across the room, his expression a mixture of desire and devastation, Eddie realized he might have taken this a little too far.

Summary
He completely pulls the charger from the wall as he fumbles to put in his passcode. He doesn’t know who to call first. Everyone is busy, carrying on with their lives and Buck is stuck here in the loft with the terrifying ghost of his childhood like an omen. Out of the corner of his eye he catches the Crooked Smiled Man now standing in the dark entrance way to his bathroom. He swallows around the taste of blood in his mouth, hands shaking, useless as his list of contacts blur beneath the burn of tears.
Eddie Eddie Eddie
He doesn’t know where the feeling comes from, but it’s sudden and sharp and excruciating. Eddie is the first name at the top of his list, his most recent calls and texts, and he doesn’t hesitate to hit the call button.

Summary
When the firefighter walks into Eddie's coffeeshop, Eddie immediately knows two things about him: he's not human, and he's the love of Eddie's life.
Oh, he knows a bunch of other things too, obviously. He's about thirty, a few months younger than Eddie himself. He has a scar on his throat, like he got stabbed there, and one of his legs has some metal rods in it that must have come from a bad injury. The guy doesn't know he's not human, which is a tricky thing to figure out, but Eddie's almost positive. Most of the non-humans he knows have always known they aren't people, but there are exceptions, and they tend to carry themselves differently. Ana before her first full moon as a werewolf had a very different vibe from Ana after.
The firefighter moves like he knows he doesn't belong, but not like he knows why. Like he's afraid of taking up space, afraid of being noticed.
As if Eddie is even capable of not noticing him.

Summary
Hen stared after Buck before her worry drifted over to Eddie without ever looking away from the bedroom.
“He’s not talking?” She asked even though the answer was right there in her face. In all of their faces.
Eddie’s heart kicked against his ribs as he shook his head. “No. Not much anyway. Not if he doesn’t have to.”
Hen’s expression went tight as she finally looked at him. “What do you mean not if he doesn’t have to?”

Summary
He finally cracks when Buck switches the station again, making a lingering pit stop on one that is just a loud crackling noise. Eddie reaches over and bats his hand away with a swift tap, jabbing his thumb at the off button and exhaling when the car goes silent.
Buck, beside him, huffs. “I was listening to that.”
Eddie can feel him staring, but keeps his own gaze focused on the road ahead and raises his brow. “To static?”
“I was trying to find a good station,” Buck mumbles, slouching down in his seat.
“Okay,” Eddie says evenly, “well, we’re five minutes from home. I think we can survive a little silence until then.”
A beat passes. Then, “Seven minutes.”
Eddie blinks. Blinks again. “What?”
“We’re seven minutes from home,” Buck corrects.
Jesus Christ. How hard is Eddie going to have to go to fuck the attitude out of him when they get home? He flicks on the indicator and turns down a familiar street. “Buck,” he sighs.
“What?”
Or: Buck brats. Eddie puts him back in his place.

Summary
Of all the things Eddie had ever expected Buck to ask him about, he absolutely hadn’t thought it would be his fake dating services.
“I... Yeah, I do. I do that. Why?”
“Well, um, I was wondering... And I know this sounds really weird, especially since I don’t think I’ve ever really talked to you before, which I’m sorry about, by the way, because I'm sure you’re a really cool guy, and I know I’ve seen you at some parties before, and we’ve been in this class together all semester, but—”
Finally, Eddie manages to pull himself together enough to hold up a hand to stop Buck’s rambling, and the boy immediately snaps his mouth shut, blue eyes wide and a little panicked.
“Buck, what exactly do you want?” he asks, brow furrowed with confusion, and Buck’s nervous shuffling increases tenfold, his smile completely gone now.
“Right. Um. I... I was wondering if maybe you’d be willing to, um... to fake date me.”

Eddie Diaz fake dates girls to make a little extra cash on the side. He's shocked when football star Evan "Buck" Buckley requests his services for the Christmas holiday.

Summary
Eddie Diaz does not need a noisy neighbor on top of all the shit he's trying to work out.
But he does make really good mac and cheese.--
“You know,” And Buck is meeting his eyes now. They’re uncannily blue. Like Kool-Aid or popsicles. “If you want, I could show you what I get up to up there?”What? WHAT? Eddie feels heat spread from the tips of his ears to his toes. No way had he just gotten propositioned before sunrise in the decrepit hallway of their apartment building. “Um. No.” He backs up until his calves brush the door to 101. “Thank you, really. But no.”

Summary
The thing is, Buck’s been getting along just fine not thinking about it. When it first happened, he’d chalked it up to a weird grief thing. A temporary bout of insanity. Eddie hadn’t seemed keen to discuss it either, and so Buck happily shoved it into a mental box labeled Never Think About This Again.
Except, not talking about it had backfired. His friendship with Eddie had turned awkward, then unbearable. Obviously, it was Buck’s fault. Buck, who never knew when to leave well enough alone. Buck, who’s too intense, too needy, and too much. Part of him is shocked it took this long for everything to implode. He and Eddie have been on a collision course since the day last year when Eddie told Buck he was leaving. Maybe since before that.
The kiss was just the moment of impact.
