    Summary

    It starts as a game. Just a fun little thing they do during shifts to keep themselves entertained.

    The idea comes from Chimney.

    “We should write secret admirer letters,” he says one afternoon, grinning like he’s just solved world peace.

    “They don’t even have to be actual admirer letters. Write something funny. Tell someone you appreciate them. Confess your undying love. Whatever.”

    Confess your undying love, huh.

    Not gonna lie, Eddie is kind of interested in this one.

    Or, Eddie wants to write a love letter to Buck.

    Summary

    Eddie marveled at the stone sculptures. Did they desire to live beyond museum walls that were full of crown molding and marbled floors? Or were they content, being captured and immortalized forever in a lover's embrace? He pondered those two questions as Buck stood beside him. Facing the sculpture of two lovers, Buck tilted his head slightly down in Eddie's direction and bumped his shoulder against him.

    "You're just like 'em you know."

    Fear seized in Eddie's chest as his eyes flickered up to meet his gaze.

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

    Then with a reverent observation that sounded like a prayer he added, "And just as beautiful."

    OR:

    Eddie finds out he can’t 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

    “Get home safe,” Buck says. Then, as always, he thinks: I love you.

    Eddie goes very, very still. His breathing stutters to a stop. There’s a strange expression on his face, his mouth twisting in that way it does when he doesn’t know what to say.

    Buck squints blearily at him. “What?”

    A muscle in his jaw twitches once. Twice. The muted light illuminates the quiet movement of his throat as he swallows.

    “What’d you just say?”

    “Get home safe,” Buck repeats, a yawn overtaking the last word. “Why…?”

    Or: the one where Buck, drowsy and delirious on pain medication, confesses his love to Eddie without realizing it.
