Summary
When Tommy suddenly starts acting distant, Buck spirals, convinced their relationship is doomed— until he finds out the real reason.
Turns out, Tommy’s got a bet with a coworker for No Nut November. And he’s forbidden from telling Buck about it.
So Buck, being the supportive (and only slightly bratty) boyfriend he is, decides to help Tommy win by any means necessary. He also decides that if Tommy has to abstain for a whole month, Buck is going to make sure he knows exactly what he’s missing.

Summary
“I left because he was abusing me,” Buck confesses.
The room becomes so still, so silent that Buck can almost hear his words echoing around it. His chest feels tight, like the admission is trying to suffocate him, make him take the words back and swallow them down so they can all forget.

Summary
Eddie could let him deny it all and they could move on. They could never talk about it, and pretend this wasn’t something that happened to Buck - like it wasn’t something else that he had to survive. But he thinks that it’s something Buck needs to talk about, if only so it doesn’t swallow him whole.
“I know what abuse looks like, Buck.”

Summary
A wet laugh bubbled up from Buck's chest. His bloodshot eyes met Eddie's. "You know why I don't want to tell you? Because you'll try and make it better—because you’ll treat me like I’m broken… who am I kidding? Shit at the junkyard’s in better shape than me.”
“You know, growing up, nearly every appliance we had came from the scratch and dent store or even the dump, just saying.”
And the bitter-sounding laugh that pulled from Buck didn’t lighten the mood. Though, after a moment, the corner of his mouth did tug slightly upward. “Are you comparing me to an ugly fridge right now, Diaz?”
He shrugged. “Or a dryer—actually, the dishwasher we had was pretty fucked up, but still ran great—the door was warped to shit, but it didn’t leak—and it was avocado green.”
Too often, Eddie has seen Buck freeze up and check out, eyes turning dull as he goes somewhere else, which happens more often than not when they are between the sheets.
But when he can't ignore it any longer, he does what he should've done from the start and confronts him.
Old wounds are exposed, a few metaphors about appliances are said, and some difficult conversations are had, and yet somehow, it brings them even closer together

Summary
The material of Tommy’s t-shirt was soft—seemingly well-loved—under his fingers, as he trailed them down from his ribs, the man silent as he did, until they came to rest low on his belly, not far from the hem of his shirt.
And as the pain and emotion crashed over him, threatening to sweep him away, he curled his trembling hands into claws—twisting them into the fabric—the sense of safety and comfort radiating off the man already going to work on his raw nerves.
And that little taste of comfort? Not enough.
So not bothering to ask—knowing he was welcome—he moved, nearly crumpling as he stepped into the man’s space fully, sagging in his arms.
He had no doubt—Tommy wouldn’t let him fall.
The journey of Bi-Buck and his Gay Yoda of a boyfriend as they maneuver through Buck's reluctance to ask for help--even when he's having the kind of day that leaves you laying on the floor with a migraine.
Thankfully, help arrives in the form of his hot hunk of man meat carrying two bags from CVS as he looks down at Buck, who's squinting at him from the floor, before saying, "Evan—sweetheart—no, baby. No. This is definitely not okay."
