Summary
Eddie grabs Christopher’s backpack and gets the orange out of his lunchbox. “You want some of this?” He holds it out in Buck’s direction. “It’s been just as long since breakfast for you.”
It has been a while since they last ate, and the adrenaline of the day is starting to wear off into the kind of hunger where Buck thinks he could single-handedly eat a large pizza without breaking a sweat, but…
Every time someone offers him an orange, he thinks about this silly superstition from a book he picked up back in his wandering days:
“If a boy gives a girl an orange, her love for him will multiply.”
Or, Buck spends years doing anything he can to avoid taking oranges from Eddie (and falls in love anyway).

Summary
Routine is not the way Buck ever expected to describe his sex life.
He misses sex, and he was saying that very casually in conversation with his brother-in-law, as one does, to which his brother-in-law replied, “Why don’t you ask Eddie? You spend all your time together anyway—an afternoon delight can’t be weirder than everything else you two’ve got going on,” before pausing and murmuring, “Plus, he’s good at it.”
Which is when Buck whipped around so quickly it probably could’ve registered on a radar speed gun.
Now, pointing a wooden spoon at Chimney, he asks, “What do you mean ‘he’s good at it’?”
Or, Buck finds out Eddie had a threesome. With Maddie and Chimney.

Summary
And as ludicrous as it sounds—if this is Buck’s dream, and he’s been here the whole time, and Eddie’s just been, what, popping in each time he’s fallen asleep since Buck was hit?—it really would explain all the random things Eddie’s remembered each time he’s woken up.
“Okay, let’s pretend I’ve gone temporarily insane and I believe you, that I believe that I keep falling asleep into your dream ever since–ever since you—” Eddie shakes his head, clears his throat. Fuck.
“I think I can prove it to you, actually,” Buck says.
“How?”
Or, the universe screams. Eddie just has to listen.

Summary
“Why’d you go for the elevator?”
If Buck had asked him that while he was still laid up in a hospital bed, he probably would’ve shrugged and said, “That’s what my gut was telling me to do,” and turned it into a joke about, well, literally being stabbed in the gut.
But no, Buck asked Eddie moments after he’d had the abrupt realization that Buck is Christopher’s other dad, a thought he figured he could put right away and think about some other time—like sometime when he wasn’t looking Buck right in the face.
Or, Eddie comes over to help with Theo and comes to a few conclusions.

Summary
It’s genuinely baffling to Eddie how long it took for him to realize that finding Buck beautiful had less to do with Buck’s actual appearance and more to do with his heart of gold—the way he loves loudly, how he’s been showing up for Chris since the minute he pulled up in front of his school with Eddie all those years ago, his strength in the face of waking nightmares—and the fact that he’s been hopelessly in love with Buck for years.
But he’s only known that for a few months, so he’s cutting himself some slack.
Or, Buck finds Eddie on the roof when he gets back from seeing Theo off with Deidra.

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
He has roughly fifteen minutes of soccer left.
He could just sit here and watch the game like a normal person.
Or.
“It’s actually been kind of a rough year for them,” he says, letting his voice drop a little. Sun Hat Lady immediately leans in closer. “Like, they almost didn’t make it.”
“Oh no,” she breathes. “Oh, honey.”
“Yeah, it was… I mean, I don’t want to get into it.” He absolutely wants to get into it. “But basically, Theo— my little brother, number seven, the one who keeps—”
A whistle blows. Theo’s committed another foul. This one might actually be assault — Chris isn’t a legal expert but Theo basically used that kid as a speed bump.
“—doing that. So, Theo wasn’t planned. And when my dad, the blonde one, told my other dad, it was like…” Chris exhales wearily, having seen too much. “They were struggling. Communication issues. You know how it is.”
Sun Hat Lady nods gravely. She knows how it is.
Or,
Sometimes you have to make up a story and involve some soccer moms to get your stupid dad and his stupid best friend to kiss.Bookmarked by mmmikaela

Summary
Buck is a lot. Eddie knows Buck is a lot. Buck knows Buck is a lot.
But every single person who ever said that to Buck said it like a warning. Like a disclaimer, a heads-up, a you-should-know-what-you're-getting-into before getting too close so they can't say they weren't told.
And Eddie has never, not once, wanted Buck to be less.
The surplus, the overflow, the fourth tangent on a story that started somewhere else entirely — that's not the price of Buck. That is Buck. And more of Buck has only ever meant more to love, and Eddie spent enough years running on empty to know what it means when someone fills up every room they walk into so completely that Eddie is overflowing with it most days.
"Eddie. Are you listening?"
Eddie nods. "Gym Katie is alone at the gym and she's upset."
Buck blinks. His mouth is still open from the sentence he was about to say, his hands still mid-gesture, and he looks genuinely thrown, like he expected to catch Eddie zoning out and instead got caught himself. Caught being heard.
"You were listening," Buck says, a little breathlessly.
Eddie smiles. "I'm always listening."
Or,
Eddie finds beauty in the mundane.- Language:

Summary
“There’s no way you want me as much as I want you.”
Eddie scoffs. “Try me.”
“I want to, like, hold onto your ankles and never let go.”
Without missing a beat, Eddie offers: “I want to handcuff myself to you so that you can never go anywhere without me.”
Or, Buck worries about wanting too much. Eddie literally and metaphorically scoffs in his face.
