    Summary

    “Did you mean it?” Eddie asks.

    It’s not what he meant to say. Don’t be ridiculous is what he’d intended. It’s midnight, it’s cold, I’m tired, I don’t want you to. All scattered to the wind, too far now to reach.

    Or: Buck and Eddie in the desert.

    Summary

    A person who listens to whatever inane, mundane shit Buck is incapable of not spouting? Actually listens, with interjected questions and regular mmhms of acknowledgement? Indulgent of every tangent, every spiel, unless Buck is actively sowing terror in the hearts of victims on calls with his worst-case scenario stories.

    He has that person. Eddie. According to May, that makes Eddie his person, a thought that has a bloom of warmth unfurling in his chest.

    It might not be romantic, but it’s—it’s something.

    And it’s worth Buck trying to get back to who they were. When their shift is over, he follows Eddie home like he might’ve done a year ago.

     

    or, buck learns about bird theory. eddie, unsurprisingly, is the only one who passes with flying colours

    Summary

    He stands up, because Eddie does not cower from knocks at — he checks his phone — 10:52 PM, even though every true crime podcast his abuela forwards him suggests this is exactly how people end up as a Dateline episode.

    He looks through the peephole.

    He blinks.

    He looks again.

    There is a man on his porch. Which, fine, he expected a man. What he did not expect is for the man to be — and Eddie needs a second here, because he’s processing several things simultaneously and doing a poor job with all of them — approximately six foot two, broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted, visibly muscular in a way that suggests either a dedicated gym routine or a genetic lottery win or both, and completely, entirely, spectacularly naked.

    Except for the potted succulent he's holding in front of his crotch.

    Eddie's succulent. From Eddie's porch. The one Chris named Potricia.

    Or,
    The odds of the universe dropping a naked man on your doorstep are low, but never zero.

    Summary

    “Wait,” the man says, reaching out and tugging on Buck’s shirt.

    Buck rights himself and looks down. There’s a small tear revealing a bruise right at his ribs. He sucks in a breath when the man slips his hand under, making contact with Buck’s flank as he lifts the shirt up.

    “Jesus, he got you good,” he remarks before dropping the ice pack into the bucket. He continues pulling Buck’s shirt up, big brown eyes flicking up and down. Buck huffs and takes it off completely, swallowing when the man plants his hands on either side of Buck’s waist.

    “Got you good, too,” Buck croaks, already painfully turned on. “Gonna be a shiner.”

     

    When Buck starts a fight in a bar, a stranger comes to his rescue. Buck brings him back to his hotel to patch him up.

    Summary

    There’s something about the way that whole thing went down at the bar—the way Buck looked at Eddie when that woman got their attention.

    Eddie wasn’t interested; he was more than happy to make it to last call with Buck and stumble back into the hotel together, maybe have another drink in one of their rooms before calling it a night, but the way Buck looked at him… Eddie knew Buck wanted Eddie to throw his hat in the ring. 

    First dibs sounds awful, but it's sort of true. He’s been acutely invested in Eddie’s sex life lately, but that look. 

    Buck wide-eyed as he gauged Eddie’s reaction, like if Eddie gave him eyes that said No, not me but not you either, that would have been it. They’d reject her together. Continue as they were.

    But Eddie gave him a different look, the one that said Go for it, and then Buck did.

    As if he wanted Eddie’s permission.

     

    Eddie has an eye-opening moment at the bar in Nashville.
