    Summary

    He can’t fault them for that, though. Evan has known Eddie for the past six years. Tommy has only been in the picture for about a month, give or take.

    Nothing has ever happened between us, Evan had insisted.

    You have absolutely nothing to worry about, Eddie had told him unequivocally.

    There’s no reason he shouldn’t take them both at their word, Tommy thinks, decisively.

    or, buck and eddie insist that there's nothing going on between them. tommy wants to believe them.

    he really, really does.

    Summary

    “Need some help there?”

    The voice cuts through the quiet, unexpectedly startling Eddie despite being low and steady. Eddie’s chest tightens. He shifts Chris instinctively further from the voice, his arms wrapping tighter around his son as he twists. A man stands at the edge of the porch light - a large figure, broad-shouldered, tall and intimidating, with his face almost hidden in the shadows. Eddie’s pulse quickens, protective instincts rising to the surface. His eyes dart over the man’s frame - assessing, calculating.

    The man approaches slowly, palms visible, his footsteps soft against the cracked pavement. “I’m Buck. Live next door. You good?” His tone is casual, but there’s an undercurrent of genuine concern.

    or

    Eddie moves from El Paso to LA, Buck is his next-door neighbour

    Summary

    “I mean,” Eddie backtracks hastily, “that I probably don’t—uh, that I don’t want a hook up. Just the single, uh, kiss. For research.”

    “Right,” Buck nods. “For research.”

    They turn back to the TV, sipping beers and spooning dessert, room quiet save for the telenovela playing. Buck, gun to his head, could not tell you who or what is on the screen right now. The brave, strong part of his brain has surrendered shamefully, white flag hoisted while the rest of his brain—stupid, stupid—hosts a skillfully imagined supercut of his best friend kissing men. It’s surprisingly new subject matter for him. What’s unsurprising is his distaste for every conjured scenario, discarding each indistinguishable stranger until the reel buffers on something more… familiar.

    “Well—”

    Eddie waits a patient minute for Buck to continue before asking, “Well, what?”

    “I just mean—if it’s just a kiss, right.” Buck pauses. “You could, uh. You could try it with me.”

     

    or, buck thinks kissing men and women feels pretty much the same. eddie’s not buying it. sometimes settling a bet requires kissing your best friend, a lot, for research

    Summary

    That would be the pattern. That would be the smart choice, statistically, intuitively. It was his pattern, after all. But once again, he just couldn’t call a spade a spade, not when his heart was saying, well, “Hearts.”

    Eddie leaned back a bit, a brief look of surprise in his eyes, before shaking it off entirely.

    “Switching it up, Buckley?” He chuckled, bending the card upward so only he could peak. A smile crept across his face, though it looked as if Eddie was biting it back. He held the card fully in his hand now, still shielded from Buck’s view, and stared at it with an unfamiliar emotion taking shape along the line of his jaw. Finally, rather than setting it on the table, he placed the card into Buck’s hand, Eddie’s fingers pressing gently against his palm.

    More weight. Buck sucked in a breath, pushing ever so slightly into Eddie’s touch. His thumb finally grabbed onto the card now in his hand, as he finally looked down.

    A king of hearts.

    OR-
    Buck follows the pattern. And despite months of Buck's distance and avoidance, he finds that it always leads back to Eddie.

    Summary

    Eddie, ten years younger, in this awful 2010, blinks up at him. He's still sitting slumped on the curb, and for a second Buck thinks he might tell him to fuck off, but then his eyes fall shut and there’s something — aching and painfully vulnerable in the bend of his mouth, the faint tension in his brow. “My…um, girlfriend, I guess. She’s pregnant.”

    “Holy shit,” Buck says.

    -

    or, buck deals with some wonky dimensional/time travel and then breaks up with his girlfriend. eddie, obviously, is involved.
