    Summary

    Buck taps the base of his glass with one finger. “Okay, ground rule addendum.”

    “This is a dangerous amount of structure for two people ordering potatoes,” Eddie says.

    “Shut up,” Buck says, affectionate. “Addendum: if we hit a grief pocket, we don’t pretend it’s not there, but we also don’t drown in it. Say ‘grief pocket’ out loud and we change the angle.”

    Eddie stares at him and then laughs, the kind that sneaks up and shakes something he didn’t know was a fist. “Grief pocket?”

    “Like hot pockets,” Buck says, too fast, the joke covering something fragile. “But sad.”

    “Do you hear yourself?”

    “Constantly,” Buck says. “It’s a nightmare.”

    OR Three years after Bobby's funeral, Eddie and Buck finally talk.

    Summary

    In an effort to make Buck stay, Eddie has him blacklisted by every landlord in Los Angeles.

    ---

    The first time it happens, Eddie doesn’t know what comes over him. It’s like he’s possessed.

    His phone rings while he’s folding laundry, pairing together two of Buck’s dog-themed socks when he answers and hears, “Hi, is this Eddie Diaz?”

    “Yes,” he responds.

    “Hi, this is Claire Thornton with Thornton & Duncan Realty, I’m calling for a reference for Mr. Evan Buckley? He’s applied to one of our properties recently, so we’re reaching out before approval,” the woman on the other end of the line says.

    Eddie’s stomach drops. Then the possession happens. “Oh, uh. Evan Buckley. Right.”

    Claire chuckles. “That doesn’t sound like a great start.”

    “I- listen. He’s a good guy, but an awful tenant,” Eddie feels like he’s watching himself from outside his body as the words leave his mouth. What is he doing?

    Summary

    “You’re okay,” Buck murmurs into Eddie’s shoulder, so soft that he thinks it might not even be audible. But then Eddie turns his cheek to rest against Buck’s shoulder and he realizes that he’s heard it loud and clear. So Buck does the only thing he can think to do, and runs his hand lightly over Eddie’s back as he whispers it again. “You’re okay. You’re okay.”

    It’s half for Eddie, and half for him.

    or: what if buck had seen eddie come home hurt from fighting?
