    Summary

    "Chim told me to go home," Buck murmurs.

    Eddie swallows, gaze dipping down over the sight of him — Buck knows he’s a mess. Knows his hair must be all over the place, and the bags under his eyes definitely haven’t disappeared in the last couple hours. His clothes are wrinkled and he’s wearing two different shoes. Eddie’s gaze comes back up, slow, exacting, and then he asks, "So you came here?"

    And Buck hears the question behind the question clearer than the question itself.

    This is home?

    --

    Or, Buck goes home.

    Summary

    “Would you fire me?” Eddie follows up, because now he’s burning with desire to know. “If you were captain and I pulled something like that?”

    “I would never fire you.”

    “Why not?” Eddie folds his arms and quirks an eyebrow. “What about the chain of comm—”

    “If you say chain of command, I will crash the car,” Buck interjects.

    908 coda. Eddie stops keeping some secrets of his own, he and Buck talk, and Eddie discovers that fear may very well be the thief of joy.

    Summary

    The end of the night had gone something like:

    “So… yeah?” Buck asked, blushing furiously and holding both of Eddie’s hands as he lingered near the front door.

    “Yeah. Definitely,” Eddie answered, flushing a somehow darker shade of red than Buck.

    And, okay, Eddie knows that’s not exactly a conversation, but it’s as good as! So he and Buck are… something. But it’s nearly twenty-four hours later, and they still haven’t kissed.

    Five times Buck doesn't kiss Eddie under the mistletoe, and one time he does.

    Summary

    Eddie huffs and throws his hands out. “I don’t know what you want from me, Buck. Do you want me to say I hate it? ’Cause I don’t!”

    “I want you to tell me the truth.”

    “I am telling you the truth! I’m sorry it’s not apparently whatever it is you want to hear, but I can’t actually read your mind, and I don’t know what it is you want me to say. I like the house. I liked the party. I don’t like being treated like a damn stranger.”

    Eddie sees the moment Buck’s restraint finally snaps. “Then stop making yourself one!”

    Or

    Buck hosts a housewarming party, everyone keeps asking Eddie what he thinks of the new place, and he can't figure out why it feels like lying when he says he likes it.

    Summary

    "I - uh," Buck stammers. "Sorry, I'm a little nervous."

    "Yeah," Eddie huffs softly. "Me too."

    "I think this is my last first kiss," Buck admits, not looking away from Eddie for even a second. The deep, familiar brown of his eyes is grounding.

    "I know it's mine," Eddie says quietly.

    ~

    or, one night a quiet conversation on Eddie's couch leads Buck and Eddie in a direction neither of them anticipate - especially Buck.
