    Summary

    “I was… I was supposed to be finding my joy.

    “Did it work?” Buck asks.

    “That was the start of it, took a while… but… I found it now.” He loosely wraps a hand around Buck’s wrist, holding on.

    “That’s good, that’s really good, buddy.”

    “It’s been really good, I’ve been so good,” Eddie continues, “So it’s okay.”

    Oh– Buck’s breath hitches. He thinks he’s going to die.

    “I’ve made my peace with it.” Eddie nods ever so slightly. “I got to be happy for a while.”

    “Stop that. You can be happy for the rest of your life, Eddie.” Buck moves his hand from where it cradles Eddie’s head, to his pulse point where he holds his fingers to feel the thready beating, then cards them through Eddie’s hair again. “The rest of your long life, because we’re getting out of here. Together.”

    “Together…” Eddie mumbles, smiling slightly, “Together would be nice.”

     

    Or, Buck finds Eddie in the elevator.

    Summary

    “...What I’m trying to say is, we’re best friends, you know? There’s nothing romantic about it. Just best friends.”

    “Best friends who live together and raise two kids,” Eddie adds, perplexed.

    “Yes!” Buck agrees, nodding, “Exactly.”

    “Okay,” Eddie says, but it’s not, not at all. He’ll be demanding answers soon.

    (Or, Eddie wakes up without remembering most of his life. He doesn’t freak out, really, he just needs someone to explain why is he not married to Buck.)

    Summary

    Looking down at the bottle’s label like he’s reading the countdown clock on a bomb, Eddie says, “Buck.”

    “Eddie.”

    Said Eddie huffs. Buck suspects he also had to fight back the urge to stomp his foot with that one. “I don’t need… I’m fine. It’ll go away in a couple of days; it’s only when I stretch weird, anyway, so—”

    “Or, hear me out,” Buck interrupts coolly, “you could, I don’t know—relax? A few bubbles won’t bite, Eddie.” Then, softer: “It’s a muscle soak. It’ll help, I swear.”

    Eddie holds out the bottle and points at it despairingly. “Citrus jamboree,” he whines.

    “It’s a party,” Buck shrugs.

    Summary

    Buck shakes with adrenaline as he reaches up with one hand to push the emergency button. It doesn't work, and it dawns on Buck that they're stuck in an elevator. One of them is bleeding out and barely breathing. The other is in a frenzy.

    "Eddie," Buck breathes out, bile rising at the back of his throat. He shakes Eddie by the head again, lightly tapping his cheek. "Eddie, please."

    Summary

    "Hey, sorry about that, I was just—Eddie?”

    Eddie’s head shot up at the sight of Buck, frozen halfway towards his seat. “Buck?”

    Buck let out an awkward chuckle and glanced around. “There must be a mix-up, I’ll go ask—”

    “No!” Eddie practically yelled the word, and then he winced at the desperation in his own voice. Belatedly, he realized it was possible that people who were interested in men were supposed to be sitting there. But Buck was watching him with wide eyes, still paused leaning on his chair, so Eddie added, “I could use a six-minute break. You know, from finding out how many siblings every woman in this bar has.”

    Buck’s eyes glinted in the dim bar lighting. He finally took the seat and asked, “oh, so you don’t care about how many siblings I have?”

    ——

    Eddie and Buck finally go on a date. It just takes them three times to realize it.
