    Summary

    "It's my fault. Let me help."

    The words sound strange to Buck's ears. He's just said that, hasn't he? Out loud, nonchalant and everything, as if it was the most normal thing you could say to your best friend.

    Which would be— normal. It's not in this context.

    Summary

    “This has to be a joke,” Eddie said. His voice came out flat.

    “It’s a botanical field guide from UCLA’s press, Eddie. They don’t put jokes in it.”

    “Sex pollen. You’re telling me we fell into a cave with sex pollen.

    Eddie clicked his tongue.Yeah, right. What is this, a porno?

    In which, best friends Buck and Eddie had the shittiest luck, even outside of emergencies.

    Summary

    Someone exclaims in the background, but Buck’s voice cuts through louder when he asks, “You… you want to borrow my…?”

    “Flashlight,” Eddie supplies with patient emphasis. It is not, strictly speaking, a leap of faith to assume Buck of all people would have one, but he did move recently, so— who knows what’s still lost in Packed Box Limbo. “Please tell me you have one I can use.”

    “I…” there’s a lengthy pause on the other end, Buck’s voice weak and tapering off at the end. “Y-Yeah, okay.”

    Or: Eddie just needs to borrow some tools. Fleshlight, flashlight, what’s the difference? The distinction has never been more illuminating.

    Summary

    “Don’t worry, guys,” Hen calls, crossing the last of the space between them, “it’s nothing serious. Our Buck just had a certain kind of dream about someone from this team.”

    “It’s no big deal,” Buck says, but his face is still flushed.

    “As long as it wasn’t about me, I agree,” Chim says, and Buck immediately pulls a face.

    “Ew, no,” he groans. “You’re married to my sister.”

    “And your captain,” Chimney adds, but then pauses. “Though I guess that’s not really a deterrent.”

    Everyone laughs, and Eddie remembers a second too late that he should join in. It’s just– if the dream wasn’t about Chimney, who was it about? Hen is a lesbian, and he really doesn’t think Buck could ever be into her like that. Ravi? He and Buck are partners now, and he sees them laugh and joke all the time, but…it’d be weird, right? Wrong, somehow.

    “So who was it about, then?” Ravi asks with a big grin. “Wait, don’t tell me – it was totally about Eddie, wasn’t it?”

    Buck has a sex dream about Eddie. Eddie spirals.
