    Summary

    Looking down at the bottle’s label like he’s reading the countdown clock on a bomb, Eddie says, “Buck.”

    “Eddie.”

    Said Eddie huffs. Buck suspects he also had to fight back the urge to stomp his foot with that one. “I don’t need… I’m fine. It’ll go away in a couple of days; it’s only when I stretch weird, anyway, so—”

    “Or, hear me out,” Buck interrupts coolly, “you could, I don’t know—relax? A few bubbles won’t bite, Eddie.” Then, softer: “It’s a muscle soak. It’ll help, I swear.”

    Eddie holds out the bottle and points at it despairingly. “Citrus jamboree,” he whines.

    “It’s a party,” Buck shrugs.

    Summary

    “How come you’re still awake?” Buck asks, antsy. He pulls at a loose thread inside one pocket with pinched fingers, rapidly picking apart the stitching. Better to unravel that than eight years of friendship all because said friend’s shorts have ridden up agonizingly at the thigh.

    “I was waiting for you to get back. You’re kind of early, though.” Eddie’s eyes are tracked to the TV, but they dart over at Buck when he asks, “You strike out with Dixie?”

    Which… Buck doesn’t even know where to start. He desperately needs to buy a vowel.

    “Huh? Why—what—did I miss a text?”

    Eddie, sat cross-legged on top of pearly-white cotton sheets, a vision so soft it’s making Buck dizzy, has the audacity to look puzzled. “Not from me. Why?”

    or: Eddie leaves a light on for Buck.

    Summary

    Eddie interrupts. “Well,” he says, turning fully to their waiter, “today’s kind of a special occasion, you see.”

    Sven smiles. “Someone’s birthday?” He looks between Buck and Eddie.

    “It’s actually, uh, our anniversary,” Eddie says, reaching out a hand to place over Buck’s.

    Buck chokes, even though all the bread is safely in the bread basket.

    Summary

    "That is. Okay. Where do I start." Pushing off the counter — hands need to be free for this. "Number one. That is not how being secure in your sexuality works. Number two. That is the opposite of how it works. Number three. Most straight men who are secure in their sexuality do not, as a method of confirming this, seek out gay sex. That is— Eddie, that is gay. The thing you are describing is gay. The act of doing it is gay. There is no version of this where you end up more straight at the other end."

    Eddie scoffs. "You don't know that."

    "I do know that."

    "You don't."

    "Eddie, I am bi. I have personally conducted this experiment. The results are in."

    Or,
    Eddie asks Buck to fuck him to prove he's straight. Things go about as well as you'd think.

    Summary

    Eddie touches Buck a lot.

    It’s a thing they do, has been for years, and it’s not a big deal. Eddie’s an affectionate guy. Side hugs and arm grabs and that move where Eddie steers him through doorways with a hand on his lower back.

    All of which Buck has never spent any real time considering because it’s just Eddie, it’s just how he is. Eddie touches people and Buck just happens to be the person standing next to him most of the time, so it’s aimed at him most of the time. Proximity and frequency, that’s all. A coincidence.

    They’re close. They always have been. So what?

    All that being said, there is one thing Eddie doesn’t do.

    Eddie doesn’t kiss Buck.

    Or — didn’t. Past tense, until about thirty seconds ago, when Eddie leaned across their table at the diner they’re currently eating at and pressed his mouth to Buck’s cheek like the kiss was just another item on a list of things he was doing that afternoon.

    Or,
    The totally natural and platonic long-term friendship escalation of kissing your best friend on multiple parts of his body without explanation.
