    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’ll do it,” Eddie repeats, looking at Buck in one of those silent conversation ways again, but Buck actually can’t figure out what he’s trying to say this time. It messes with his brain, until Eddie speaks again, “I’ll pretend to only be a little offended none of you have thought to ask me before, but Buck, I’ve fixed a lot of cars. I can look at yours.”

    (or, the check engine light comes on in Buck's Jeep, Eddie volunteers to fix it and carpool with him in the meantime, and it all breaks down from there, literally and metaphorically)

    Summary

    “Didn’t know you were seeing someone.”

    Buck just laughs. Like, honest to god giggles. Eddie is stuck fighting off doubly massive waves of butterflies and confusion, all while Buck just gazes down at him.

    “That’s cute,” he hears Buck mumble, just before climbing into the truck, calling Eddie after him.

    -

    or, everyone knows eddie is dating buck except for eddie, literally.

    Summary

    “Alright,” Eddie shrugs, laissez-faire. He pulls Buck’s plate to the center of the table; pushes his own forward in kind. Then he begins a drawn-out circus routine of plucking an olive at a time up and out of the bowl and plopping them onto their respective dishes, one by one.

    The delicate, repetitive movement of Eddie’s pinched fingers reminds Buck of picking the petals off of flowers. He loves me. He loves me not. He love—

    An olive hits him square in the forehead.

    “There,” Eddie says, resolute, as the pitted projectile tumbles to the ground at Buck’s feet. “Equal treatment.”

    Or: Buck, Eddie, and the olive theory. Well, in theory.

    Summary

    Eddie simply cannot know that he is currently naked. That would be catastrophic. 

    “Um, I— did you need anything? I’m kind of in the middle of something,” Buck says, which. Okay. That did not sound convincing. He adds, “I can call you back in ten?” 

    “I thought you just woke up?” Eddie says, and, fuck— Buck did basically say that. 

    Carefully, he says, “I did.” 

    “So what were you—?” 

    God, this is mortifying. This might be the worst thing that’s ever happened to Buck, and he’s been caught in, like, four natural disasters. And also struck by lightning. And had a fire engine fall on him. He even dated (he shudders at the thought) Tommy Kinard.  

    “Eddie,” he says. He doesn’t know what else to say. 

    “What? If you need to pee you can just mute yourself.” 

    “Eddie, that’s not—” 

    “Then what?” Eddie laughs. “If you’re still in bed, you can’t ha— oh.”

    Or: Buck answers the phone in the middle of jerking off. For some reason, Eddie asks him not to hang up.
