    Summary

    “Did you know that kissing is good for you?”

    Buck asks the question out of absolutely nowhere, and Eddie blinks as he tries to process the words. To be fair, it’s barely seven in the morning — on their day off, after Eddie’s night on the couch — and he’s yet to have the coffee that typically kicks his brain into action.

    Also, what?

    “Buck,” he says, rubbing at his eyes. “What?”

    Or: Eddie and Buck start platonically kissing.

    Summary

    It wasn’t consecution.

    How could it be? Essek wasn’t consecuted. Even if he had been, consecution didn’t work like this. He’d know if it did; he’d spent years searching for any scrap of information about what was happening to him.

    He found nothing.

    -*-

    Every time Essek dies, he wakes up on the day he meets the Mighty Nein. He's tried everything to avoid, subvert or kill them, but so far nothing has worked. He's already died fifteen times. He refuses to die a sixteenth.

    Summary

    “C'mere," Buck says, sitting up to scoot closer to Eddie.

    "What are you doing?” Eddie asks, and Buck sighs.

    "You can just kiss me, get a taste of the lip balm, and tell me what flavour you think it is.”

    Eddie can’t believe his ears.

    "That is such a stupid way to win a bet, Buck."

    “Oh so you concede?"

    Eddie rolls his eyes, shaking his head before planting both hands on the sides of Buck's face and hauling him in to press their lips together.

    OR

    Buck and Eddie make a bet on whether or not Eddie can guess all of Buck's lip balm flavours, and in order for Eddie to get a taste, they have to kiss.

    Summary

    He feels unhinged. He feels like all his bones are unspooling into piles of spaghetti that someone then tazed. Oh god-

    "Does Eddie know he's gay?!!"

    "You don't even know he's gay," Hen says calmly. "Not for sure. You can't assume these things unless you talk to him, Buck."

    "That's why he doesn't want to date!" Buck plows on, Hen's words already buried under ten million gay possibilities. "Why he hasn't looked at a woman in over a year. Why he was always so bad at dating despite being the hottest person to walk this earth."

    "Okay, I think we're getting a bit carried away here."

    "Hen, he keeps wearing my clothes."

    “He- what?"

    OR

    Buck is determined to give Eddie a fun, relaxing trip to Nashville for the firefighter games and can be so totally normal about his best friend wearing his clothes and letting his guard down and also maybe possible being gay.
