Summary
"How does Sunday at seven sound?"
"Perfect," Eddie manages around a tongue that he's certain is three times as big as it usually is.
"Great, I'll pick you up. Send me your address?" Ian smiles again, and Eddie thinks he might have a heart attack. He has no idea what he says in response, but it must be adequate, because Ian gives him a little wave and says he'll see Eddie on Sunday, and as soon as he disappears from sight, Eddie slumps back against one of the open ambulance doors, stunned.
"Huh. So that's why he's not dating May," comes Ravi's voice from behind him, and Eddie does not yelp. He doesn't.

Summary
Eddie is fluid, loose-limbed and pink-cheeked with the top three buttons of his shirt undone and his feet are matching the steps of the rest of the crowd on the dance floor with zero hesitation, and Buck is—
Buck is mesmerized. Captivated. His stupid drunk eyes won't leave the line of Eddie's torso as he steps and spins and grins, and so Buck is helpless to do anything other than keep tripping over his own feet, three, four, five steps behind, distracted by the music and the shine of sweat on Eddie's cheekbones.

Summary
Something's going on here. And Buck sure isn't helping, what with his incessant gazing out the window to where he can see Hen and Eddie collapsing into giggles in each other's arms, Hen grinning widely and Eddie now stripped down to his tank. God, his arms are huge, now. When did that happen? And why didn't Buck notice sooner? Why did he have to notice at all?
Things were way better before Buck realized he wanted to sink his teeth into his best friend's biceps and lick the sweat off his neck and eat him out until he cried.
(Or, Chris notices something off about Buck and calls him out on it.)

Summary
"Ididn'thateit," he admits in a rush. There. He said it. The guy—Zane. Right. Zane's eyes had flicked over to him, appreciative. Appraising. Unsubtle. Brazenly obvious as he'd checked Eddie out, and Eddie's belly had gone hot, his skin crackling with electricity, and he'd gulped at the shockingly intense physical reaction his body was having and could think nothing except for I need to get out of here.
He has no excuse. No explanation.
"Oh," Buck says. "I didn't, um. That's—that's cool, if you. Do you, or, uh. I won't call them, but if you want, I can give you his number?"
"No," Eddie says, too fast.

Summary
Shane definitely doesn't look okay. As he heads to his still-made bed, Hayden catches a glimpse of his eyes. They look bloodshot and strained, and as Shane tears through his duffel bag and grits out, "I'm taking a shower," Hayden hears the rasp in his voice.
"Shane."
"What," Shane snaps, yanking off his shirt. Then he freezes, holding onto it with both hands like he's only realized what he's been wearing, and says with equal vehemency, "Fuck," and flings it toward the headboard. "Fuck!" He says again, louder.
(Or, Shane gets back to his hotel room after running away from Ilya's place in Boston and panics. Hayden is also there.)

Summary
He has roughly fifteen minutes of soccer left.
He could just sit here and watch the game like a normal person.
Or.
“It’s actually been kind of a rough year for them,” he says, letting his voice drop a little. Sun Hat Lady immediately leans in closer. “Like, they almost didn’t make it.”
“Oh no,” she breathes. “Oh, honey.”
“Yeah, it was… I mean, I don’t want to get into it.” He absolutely wants to get into it. “But basically, Theo— my little brother, number seven, the one who keeps—”
A whistle blows. Theo’s committed another foul. This one might actually be assault — Chris isn’t a legal expert but Theo basically used that kid as a speed bump.
“—doing that. So, Theo wasn’t planned. And when my dad, the blonde one, told my other dad, it was like…” Chris exhales wearily, having seen too much. “They were struggling. Communication issues. You know how it is.”
Sun Hat Lady nods gravely. She knows how it is.
Or,
Sometimes you have to make up a story and involve some soccer moms to get your stupid dad and his stupid best friend to kiss.Bookmarked by playinginthunderstorms

Summary
"You're lying. Something happened," Eddie accuses, and because he's a total smug dick, his delight becomes more palpable with every word. So damn enthusiastic to put Buck through his twisted humiliation ritual. His own best friend. "I'm right. You're blushing," he beams, canines on display, ripe and ready to tear through Buck's jugular.
"I'm not blushing."
"No, for sure," Eddie drones. He simmers down and stares at Buck for a few seconds, happy as a clam and twice as infuriating; then adds, "You know, the church taught me that lying is a sin."
So is lust, Buck thinks to himself. Out loud though, he just grits his teeth and says, "I'm agnostic."
Or: "You couldn't jerk that information out of me."

Summary
“Hey, Buck?” Christopher says. “How do you know you’re not in love with my dad?”
Buck freezes. A full body clench. “Uh,” he says. “Could you - - I think I - - sorry,” he laughs uncomfortably. “Could you repeat the question?”
“I asked Dad, but now I’m more confused. And you date men, right? But you don’t date Dad. So how do you know you don’t want to date Dad?”
Or, Christopher has some questions. He asks the two worst possible people.

“Um. He’s.. well — he has a list. An…agenda.”
“An agenda?”
“Yes. Like, you know. It’s a - - it’s a gay agenda,” Buck winces.
“Great. Okay. So, my son is queer-eyeing me?”
“I believe that is what’s about to happen, yes.”
“Wonderful.”
Or, Christoper hyper-fixates on Queer Eye and takes it out on his freshly gay father. Buck's there, too.

Summary
centaurs ✅
[picture] The middle of the Ottawa-Buffalo game. In front of a net, Ilya Rozanov is on one knee on the ice, flanked by two Buffalo players, stick outstretched toward Shane Hollander who has the puck on his stick.
CENS WIN
OTT 5 FINAL 1 BUF
[video, 15 seconds]
The post-game press line, Ilya Rozanov sweaty and shirtless, a mic held in front of his face.
ESPN reporter: Ilya, what an amazing assist in the second period power play. You were literally swiveling on one knee avoiding two defensemen, and sliding the puck to Hollander to score.
Rozanov (grinning): Well, sometimes you have to go down on one knee for your man, you know.
[Caption] Married life #Cens style: scoring goals with your husband!
Or: During Shane's first season in Ottawa, Ilya keeps breaking the internet with his interviews and shenanigans. The internet, predictably, keeps losing its shit.
