    Summary

    Buck, predictably, answers within two rings. “Yellow. You’ve got Buck.”

    “Hey, Buck.”

    “You okay?”

    Eddie lifts his head to confirm the state of his house. The orange tree is still very much there, amidst the wreckage of his home. The sole perpetrator, even. 

    “Sure,” he says. 

    Buck hesitates. “...Sure?”

    “There’s a tree.”

    “Where?”

    “Inside my house.”

    “Oh.” Eddie can practically see Buck’s eyebrows furrowing. “Like, you bought a tree?”

    “No,” Eddie says. He hasn’t blinked since Buck picked up the phone. “It’s the orange tree.”

    A beat of silence. “It’s inside your house.”

    Eddie lets out an exhausted huff, leaning back in his chair. “Apparently.”

    OR: there’s an orange tree. It’s in Eddie’s house.

    Summary

    Buck is a lot. Eddie knows Buck is a lot. Buck knows Buck is a lot.

    But every single person who ever said that to Buck said it like a warning. Like a disclaimer, a heads-up, a you-should-know-what-you're-getting-into before getting too close so they can't say they weren't told.

    And Eddie has never, not once, wanted Buck to be less.

    The surplus, the overflow, the fourth tangent on a story that started somewhere else entirely — that's not the price of Buck. That is Buck. And more of Buck has only ever meant more to love, and Eddie spent enough years running on empty to know what it means when someone fills up every room they walk into so completely that Eddie is overflowing with it most days.

    "Eddie. Are you listening?"

    Eddie nods. "Gym Katie is alone at the gym and she's upset."

    Buck blinks. His mouth is still open from the sentence he was about to say, his hands still mid-gesture, and he looks genuinely thrown, like he expected to catch Eddie zoning out and instead got caught himself. Caught being heard.

    "You were listening," Buck says, a little breathlessly.

    Eddie smiles. "I'm always listening."

    Or,
    Eddie finds beauty in the mundane.

    Summary

    “Why not? Being with me is major street cred.”

    She turns her nose up at that, “He’s going to think we’re together.”

    “Keep up, babe.” The term of endearment slips out too easily, “That’s kind of the point.”

     

    Mikasa Ackerman is invisible to her crush. She’s too nervous to even string coherent words together whenever she’s around him, and after a multitude of failed attempts to talk to him, she’s all but lost hope of ever getting his attention, that is, until she reconnects with an old friend at a party.

    Eren has been cruising though life on his good looks and sporting talent, and when he sees that Mikasa is in a crisis, he offers her an out: pretend to date him to get the attention of her crush.

    The plan is insane, downright ludicrous, and has more consequences than either of them had ever bargained for.

    Summary

    Kageyama honest-to-god smiled. Not just a competitive smirk or a feigned grin for a photo op-- but an open, genuine smile. Diego nearly dropped his water bottle.
    And if the smile wasn’t shocking enough, Diego noticed something as Kageyama pulled off his practice shirt; a thin black cord looping around his neck, starkly contrasting against pale skin. Which was surprising enough (he didn’t peg Kageyama as the jewelry type), but what hung from the bottom of the necklace stopped Diego in his tracks.
    There, dangling from the cord, light catching on its smooth surface, was a ring.
    A fucking gold ring.
    ---
    In which Kageyama Tobio returns from a break with a ring, and his teammates on Ali Roma scramble to figure out who the lucky lady is.

    Summary

    It’s the mission that leads him to think that she’s almost incandescent in the morning light like this: safe and warm and here.

    Or: a series of social and sartorial conundrums that lead to something more.
