    Summary

    The phone lights up on the coffee table. It's a number he half-recognizes — a few weeks back a package for his apartment went to 4D by mistake, and he texted the guy to sort it out, and the guy wrote back a paragraph and a half about how the mail situation in this building was, his words, "a war crime." Eddie didn't save the number. He meant to. It just lives in his phone now as a stranger, and the stranger is texting him.

    Unknown: hey. HEY. ok this is the package guy from 4D. ur 4B. i need to ask u somethign and its important

    Unknown: u have the good dog right

    Eddie: Who is this?

    Unknown: i JUST said. package guy. 4D. anyway i hear his little feet in the hallway sometiems. tap tap tap. like a tiny gentleman. and i need to know hes real

    Eddie knows who this is. Big guy, loud, holds the elevator and then narrates the entire ride down.

    Eddie: Are you drunk?

    Unknown: thats a seperate issue from the dog

    Which is not a no.

    Unknown: OH MY GOD

    Or,
    Eddie gets a series of drunk texts from his hot neighbor.

    Summary

    Alright, now to prove he’s right.

    Finger on the cursor, Buck types an a to start.

    Google, in all its autocomplete glory, gives Buck some options. Four suggestions stack top to bottom in whatever order Google decides matters most on any given evening, and the four that come up under Buck's single letter are, in order:

    am i gay quiz (visited 2 days ago)

    Amazon (visited 5 days ago)

    american airlines

    ammonia bleach mix

    Buck stops chewing the inside of his cheek — which, honestly, he didn’t even realize he was doing.

    That’s — huh.

    That’s not what he was expecting at all.

    Or,
    Buck uses Eddie's laptop and sees something he isn't supposed to see. He reacts accordingly.

    Summary

    “Shh, no, don’t talk. I just got a response, finally. From the others. They’re coming, Eddie. You’re going to be okay, just stay awake.”

    The elevator hadn’t moved yet. They were still trapped in no man’s land, still stuck too far for them to easily get to Eddie and save him. Buck could try to keep faith, but Eddie knew better, and so Eddie had to say it before he lost the chance.

    “Buck, listen, I—”

    “Eddie, don’t. No goodbyes, okay? Please?”

    “I’m not going to die without saying this, so shut up and listen.” Eddie managed to rasp out.

    Buck, to his credit, shut up and listened.

    OR -

    Buck and Eddie are stuck in the elevator together as Eddie bleeds out from his stabbing. Truths are realised, secrets are spilled.

    Summary

    There's a clear plastic container on the kitchen table. Eddie sets the bag down warily on the counter, approaches it warily, as if it's a live grenade. Which is prescient, he realizes a moment later.

    It is, as the message suggested, a cake. A small one, sized so that a person could eat it in a single sitting if they were feeling greedy and indulgent. Chocolate layers, topped with a silky-looking ganache; Buck even sprinkled little curls of white chocolate around the edges for decoration. Lettering piped in bright red frosting, uneven but perfectly legible, reads, DON'T IGNORE ME, I SUCKED YOUR DICK.

    Summary

    Eddie interrupts. “Well,” he says, turning fully to their waiter, “today’s kind of a special occasion, you see.”

    Sven smiles. “Someone’s birthday?” He looks between Buck and Eddie.

    “It’s actually, uh, our anniversary,” Eddie says, reaching out a hand to place over Buck’s.

    Buck chokes, even though all the bread is safely in the bread basket.

     

    or, buck wants a free tiramisu. eddie has a tried-and-tested plan to get it.
