    Summary

    “You wanna kiss me?” Buck asks, enjoying the way Eddie’s eyes widen briefly and immediately flicker downwards again towards his lips. “You can. If you want.”

    And he doesn’t think Eddie’s actually going to admit to it, but it turns out Eddie’s sticking to his theme of surprising him tonight.

    “I want to,” Eddie admits. “But—”

    “No buts,” Buck insists, because he kind of really does want Eddie to kiss him. “You have my permission. So if you want to, you can.”

    *

    (Bobby's in hospital, Eddie's life is a mess, and Buck makes his priorities pretty clear to all those around him.)

    Summary

    Eddie really liked Tommy.

    If asked, he could give a long list of reasons why.

    Tommy was an army guy, like Eddie himself, they had a lot of shared experiences.

    Tommy was witty, he always had a one liner ready to throw out.

    Tommy was into MMA, and muay thai, and he could fly Eddie to games.

    Tommy would play pickup with him even when Buck always said no.

    Tommy was good with Christopher. He had an easy charm with Eddie’s preteen son, and he had lots of stories that Christopher couldn’t quite get enough of.

    And, the most important reason, Tommy had been a huge part of the reason Athena and Bobby had survived.

    The problem was… Eddie kind of couldn’t fucking stand Tommy.

    OR -

    Eddie goes through the stages of grief watching Buck and Tommy together and gets progressively more unhinged as his jealousy builds. No bashing of Marisol or Tommy in this, they're just not right for Eddie and Buck.

    Summary

    “How long have you two been together?” a voice asks next to him. Eddie startles at the low British tones, almost forgetting that he walked over to the bar with Henry.

    Eddie shakes his head and looks away, his cheeks flushing at the fact that he had been caught staring. “We’re not.”

    Henry looks down at Eddie, confused. “No?” He pauses for a moment, looks in Buck’s direction and then back to Eddie, reassessing. “But you’re in love with him?” he asks gently.

    Eddie thought about lying, but there is something about Henry that makes it almost easy to tell him the truth. Eddie also had a feeling that had he tried to lie, Henry wouldn’t believe him anyway.

    Eddie’s gaze finds its way back to Buck. Taking in his curls, the look on his face, the way he seems so relaxed and at peace. Buck hasn’t looked this happy in a long time. “How did you know,” is all Eddie responds.

    “Because you look at him the same way I used to look at Alex.”

    OR Eddie takes Buck along with him and Christopher to Austin, Texas for a Diaz Family Reunion™ at his uncle’s LBJ lake house, where Eddie’s cousin’s new fiancé, Henry, decides to play cupid for Buck and Eddie

    Summary

    He feels like shit when he's hungry, and he plays better when he's empty. The cold air doesn't touch him as much. The floodlights turn silvery-soft.
    And he likes eating. Keeps his hands busy, mouth busy, mind busy. Something to chew through, putty in the ears.
    Go until he can't anymore. Cycle it back out. Be ready.

    OR: Buck's had on-again, off-again bulimia since he was 14.

    Title from Psychic Friend's "We Do Not Belong".
