Summary
He’s not stupid. It took him some time — years — but Eddie’s half certain that, should his patience snap one day, should he lean in across the way one night when it’s just the two of them, should he palm at Buck’s jaw to bring his face closer and kiss him on the mouth, Buck would kiss him back. That’s not the problem.
The problem is that Eddie’s gonna ruin it.
He’s ruined every other romantic relationship in his life. If it happens with Buck, Eddie knows neither of them will come back from it.
These days, he’s content with having Buck the way he does now. He may succumb to weakness, sometimes, like he just did in the kitchen, holding Buck like that, but Eddie’s willpower is the stuff of legend. He’s happy with his place in Buck’s life. He can play the part of codependent best friend, dad who stepped up, platonic soulmate.
The main issue here, really, hindsight twenty-twenty and all, is that Eddie really misses being a husband.
or: five times eddie, willing and knowing, acts like buck's husband, and one time he. well. you can guess where this is going.

Summary
There’s a panicked note to his voice, a slight thread of tension. Eddie feels the weight of himself triple, bones compacting in on each other.
“She’s fine,” he says quietly. “I mean, uh. Someone hit her. With a car.”
Buck’s eyes snap to him. “What? That doesn’t sound fine.”
“It was a slow car.”
“A slow car,” Buck repeats.
Eddie’s making a mess of this. He always makes a mess.

Summary
“Would you marry me?”
Eddie stared at him.
Buck stared back.
The refrigerator hummed. The monitor hissed faintly. Eddie could hear his own pulse, which seemed dramatic and unhelpful.
“What?” Eddie said.
Buck looked down, then back up. “Not like. I mean, legally. For Theo. For the stability thing.”
Eddie’s mouth had gone dry.
Buck kept talking. He did that when he was nervous. Built a whole staircase of words and then tried to jump down it. “I know it sounds insane. I know. And I’m not asking because I’m freaking out. I mean, I am always a little bit freaking out, but that’s not why. I’m asking because if I had to pick someone to have legal standing with Theo, someone who already shows up and knows him and knows me, it would be you.”
Eddie said nothing.
Buck’s face tightened. “You can say no.”
“I know.”

Summary
“I even heard rumors of Eddie Diaz possibly going back on tour with Lost in Salvation,” Larry insists. “I’m sure your fans—”
Buck snickers. “I don’t think Eddie Diaz has the guts it takes to ever go back on stage.”
It’s out before he realizes what he’s saying, that thousands of people might be listening. That tomorrow, the words he’s just uttered will rumble their way through the internet, until all the headlines claim the same truth: seven years later, Evan “Buck” Buckley from Higher Dreams still hates Eddie Diaz from Lost in Salvation.
Or: in 2015, Buck and Eddie fall in love over a summer. In 2022, they haven't talked in seven years. Will they survive another summer touring together?
Or: the rockstars Buddie AU

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.
Buck is struggling after the events in New Mexico. Eddie decides to move in with him about it.
