    Summary

    “So,” Buck says, head spinning. He’s really feeling the alcohol now. They definitely should have eaten something before drinking. “No women.”

    Eddie fumbles as he sets the bottle down on his bedside table. “No women.”

    “What about men?” Buck blurts, which is—crazy, because again: neither of them are gay.

    They’re just two straight guys. Two straight guys in Eddie’s bed, tipsy, and—and Eddie doesn’t want to sleep with women. Which means nothing.

    Beside him, Eddie goes preternaturally still. “I would know, if I—you know.”

    “Okay.” Buck’s hands twitch at his sides. “I—yeah. Me too.”

    Then, very seriously, Eddie turns to look at him. “If I were gay, you would be my first call.”

    Warmth blooms in Buck’s chest. Eddie’s so nice to him. “Dude,” he says, touched. “You’d be my first call too.”

    Or: a story set in season 2 featuring tequila, Just The Tip, and, finally, a kiss.

    Summary

    "Hey, your hair's back!"

    Sokka’s hands were everywhere. He wasn't checking for wounds or broken bones; he was reaching up, his fingers diving straight into the dark, messy tang of Zuko's hair. He gripped the back of Zuko’s head, his touch far too certain, his fingers acting as if they were already at home there.

    --

    OR Zuko only finds Tagah attractive for a very specific reason.

    Summary

    “Do none of you care about the children? It’s a bachelor auction, and you, my friend, are a bachelor. Abracadabra, put your name on the list.”

    “I can’t,” Eddie repeats. He can’t. He cannot. “I’m not.”

    “You’re not? Since when?” Chimney frowns. “Who?”

    It’s not Eddie’s fault that, at that exact moment, Buck walks in. So it’s not his fault that he opens his mouth and says, “Buck.”

     

    Or, Eddie trips and falls into a lightly fraudulent HR-disclosed "consensual romantic relationship" with his best friend. Really, if you think about it, it's a win-win.

    Summary

    Chris gives him a look holding the type of ire you can only receive from a teenager. “No…” he says as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world. “You’re my other dad.”

    Buck feels his throat tighten and his eyes prickle. He tries not to show it - he knows he will immediately drain any coolness cache he has left with Chris if he does. He basks in the honor of Chris considering him for any kind of paternal role for a moment before the other half of the equation dawns on him. “Wait…you told her I’m married to your dad?”

    —-

    Chris convinces Buck to pretend to be married to Eddie to impress his classmate.

    Summary

    “You were drunk. I know it didn’t mean anything. Everything’s alright.”

    Buck visibly winces. “That’s not — Eddie.”

    There’s a suspended moment where Buck looks torn, standing on the edge of something, eyes fixed on the horizon to avoid looking at the drop, the precipitous canyon below. But then Buck, who can’t lie, who would tear his own chest open to a complete stranger on the street because the truth of him spills so loudly out of every jagged edge, sighs out:

    “It meant something.”

    There’s a ringing sound somewhere in the distance, getting closer. “What are you…” Eddie trails off.

    “I wasn’t — well, I was drunk. But that wasn’t what. Wasn’t why. Not entirely, or — god.” Buck shudders in a breath, steeling himself. “I have feelings for you.” He closes his eyes. “I’m so sorry.”

    ~

    Buck confesses his feelings. Eddie’s straight. If he spends all his time thinking about Buck and looking at Buck and wanting to be around Buck, well, that’s just being a good friend, isn’t it? He’s being so normal about this, actually.
