    Summary

    After a pause, Eddie asked, “You ever think about just… keeping it going?”

    Buck blinked. “What, like living together forever?”

    A snort filled the air, and Eddie looked half amused and half serious. “I dunno, maybe? Something like that. I mean, look, it’s a new year, right? Anything could happen. But neither of us wanna be alone forever. So, maybe if we’re both still single in a year or whatever, we could just—” he waved a hand vaguely, like he was lassoing the future— ”make it official.”

    “Official?” he echoed, head even fuzzier now.

    Eddie’s mouth twitched. “Yeah, we could just get married, or something close enough to it."

    Buck’s heart tripped over itself.

    On New Year's Eve, Buck and Eddie made a drunken pact: if they were both still single in a year, they'd marry each other. They didn't mean to start sabotaging the other's love life to make it happen, but somewhere along the way, that's exactly what they ended up doing.

    Now the only question is... how far are they willing to take it?

    Summary

    So in the middle of Eddie’s dining room, with his brain to mouth filter non-existent (as per usual), Buck blurts out, “Marry me.”

    Eddie sits straight up, looking at him with eyes wide as saucers.

    “Excuse me?”

    “W-well, just think about it. If we get married I can add you and Chris to my insurance policy and that solves your problem.”

    Eddie’s mouth forms a perfect little ‘o’. Buck waits patiently for the floor to open up and swallow him whole.

    When the ground doesn’t do as he’d hoped he realizes he has to say something else. “Obviously, w-we don’t have to,” he’s quick to assure. “But if we did it would be platonic, of course, because you’re straight and–” he pauses, praying for another rogue stroke of lightning. Anything to put him out of his misery right now. “-and like I know that I’m bi now, but this wouldn’t be like that y’know? It would just be two friends helping each other out.” He’s rambling, the words won’t stop tumbling out. “Like a friends with benefits type situation! E-except you know not those kinds of benefits! Like actual benefits! Health and dental.”

    or,

    Eddie is moving to Texas, losing his insurance, and marrying Buck all very heterosexually and platonically.

    Summary

    These days, them getting dressed for work together isn’t out of the ordinary. Neither is Buck waking Chris up for school while Eddie takes a shower, or Buck cooking breakfast while Eddie lingers nearby, going over the bills at the dining table, or Chris trying to finish up last night’s homework while they eat their eggs and bacon.

    Buck likes the company. It isn’t the same as Abby or Taylor or…Tommy, cuddling at night while sneaking kisses underneath the sheets, but maybe he’ll let himself admit it’s better.

    In Eddie's absence, Buck moves into his house. Now that Eddie and Chris are back, things are different. Not bad. Just different.

    Summary

    Eddie marveled at the stone sculptures. He wondered did they feel as he felt, this solid immovable force? Did they desire to live beyond museum walls, full of crown molding and marbled floors? Or were they content, captured in a lover's embrace immortalized forever?

    Buck walked toward him, broad shoulders bumping against his. Face turned upward to the sculpture of two lovers, he tilted his head down in Eddie's direction.

    "You're just like 'em you know," he said.

    Eddie felt fear seize in his chest, eyes flickering up at the statue once more.

    With further prompting and the ghost of a smile on reddened lips - from the berry hibiscus tea - he continued by saying, "You're softness made of stone."

    And with a soft exhalation that sounded like a prayer Buck added, "And just as beautiful."

    OR:

    Where Eddie finds out he can’t quite outrun his past, but damn does he try. He has to try even harder, when a childhood friend comes to LA bringing with him memories Eddie swore he’d forget.

    Summary

    “I mean,” Eddie backtracks hastily, “that I probably don’t—uh, that I don’t want a hook up. Just the single, uh, kiss. For research.”

    “Right,” Buck nods. “For research.”

    They turn back to the TV, sipping beers and spooning dessert, room quiet save for the telenovela playing. Buck, gun to his head, could not tell you who or what is on the screen right now. The brave, strong part of his brain has surrendered shamefully, white flag hoisted while the rest of his brain—stupid, stupid—hosts a skillfully imagined supercut of his best friend kissing men. It’s surprisingly new subject matter for him. What’s unsurprising is his distaste for every conjured scenario, discarding each indistinguishable stranger until the reel buffers on something more… familiar.

    “Well—”

    Eddie waits a patient minute for Buck to continue before asking, “Well, what?”

    “I just mean—if it’s just a kiss, right.” Buck pauses. “You could, uh. You could try it with me.”

     

    or, buck thinks kissing men and women feels pretty much the same. eddie’s not buying it. sometimes settling a bet requires kissing your best friend, a lot, for research
