    Summary

    Buck gives him a small smile. “Come on,” he says, standing up and pulling Eddie to his feet.

    Eddie takes a steadying breath, letting it expand in his lungs, and puts one foot in front of the other, following Buck.

    God. They’re going to fucking Texas.

    —the one where christopher calls eddie.

    or,
    a roadtrip, long overdue conversations with his mother, and a love that'll keep him safe through the dark. eddie's boys come home.

    Summary

    “Buck,” Eddie murmurs, and Buck loves the way his lips curl around the word—Buck, like he’s saying the name of a lover. His name’s always been safe in Eddie’s mouth. “Buck.” 

    “What’d you want?” Buck asks, helpless to keep his gaze from darting to Eddie’s lips. Shiny and pink, that scar on his lips the bane of Buck’s fucking existence. He’s dangerously close to dipping down and just biting it.

    “You really have to ask?” Eddie says, high and breathless. “All these years and you still have to ask?” His eyes are so, so clear, not the barest hint of a doubt in them. This is a man that knows what he wants, and Buck is coming undone—every thread that keeps him whole unravelling with every breath. 

    “Eddie,” Buck whispers. 

    “How long are you gonna make me wait?” Eddie tugs on his curls again, and Buck’s elbows buckle, putting him an inch away from Eddie’s lips. An inch. “How many years until I can put a ring on it, baby?” 

    or, the start of forever.

    Summary

    “Chris,” Eddie says, nudging him. “You wanna say hi? Properly?”

    Christopher flips him off, discreetly, and then to Theo he says very sweetly, “Hi, Theo.” 

    Buck’s heart swells to thrice the size of whatever it was, and he’s hit with a rush of love so intense he’s tearing up with it. Eddie’s no better, eyes sparkling. 

    “Hi,” Theo says, and then presses himself back towards Buck, clutching his spider–man tightly. “You’re Buck’s big best friend.”

    Christopher grins. “I am, yeah,” he says, cheesing so hard. “You’re Buck’s tiny best friend, aren’t you?”

    Theo nods shyly. “Yeah.”

    Christopher holds out his hand, tilting his head. “I’m Chris,” he says, and Theo takes it, his small hand cradled perfectly in Christopher’s palm. “What’s your name?” 

    “Hi Kiss,” Theo says, in awe. “My name is Theo.” 

    —theo meets the diazes.

    Summary

    “Is it weird that I’ve always wanted someone to kiss me like that?” Eddie says, mouth completely skipping that whole ask-brain-for-permission-first thing. 

    “No weirder than me always wanting to kiss someone like that,” Buck replies. 

    Every bit of oxygen is sucked out of the room. The movie is still playing, but Eddie can’t hear it over the ringing in his ears. His eyes snap to Buck, who is rhythmically puffing his cheeks out and picking at the label on his bottle of soda.

    Five time Buck and Eddie kiss platonically, and one time they don't.

    Summary

    “I’m trying not to make it about me.”

    The words seem to stop Eddie in his tracks—but only for a fleeting moment. Then, “Okay, then let me.”

    Buck blinks, ignoring the feeling of a single tear fighting past the edge of his lashline. Instantly, he swipes it away. “What?”

    “Let me make it about you. Talk to me. I want to know what’s going on with you. I’m not gonna be able to focus on this god awful dinner if I’m worried that you’re alone, and upset, and—”

    “I miss you,” Buck confesses, abruptly, because anything else he wants to say right now is too raw, too real.

    Eddie exhales into the microphone of his phone. “Yeah. Yeah, I—I know. I miss you, too.”

    “No, I miss you. More than I’m supposed to, I think.”

    “I’m your best friend, bud,” Eddie tells him. “I think you’re supposed to miss me. We’re eight hundred miles apart.”

    Miserably, Buck shakes his head. “Not like this.”

    Or: Buck finally unpacks and stumbles across a box Eddie left behind, full of sketchbooks that Buck didn’t know he owned. He’s confronted, suddenly, with the fact that his best friend has been drawing him for years.
