Summary
"Let's go do something fun," Eddie says. "Let's— That was nice, that was great, being with you and Chris in any capacity is enough for me, but—"
And Buck thought he stumbled over his words.
Eddie takes a breath. "Shaving my face and dancing around in my underwear wasn’t enough."
Buck doesn't know what to say. He has no idea what he means. He's just glad the but wasn't the kind he was afraid of.
"Uh, is that a euphemism?"
While visiting his parents in Pennsylvania for the weekend, Buck accidentally sends Eddie a text telling him that he loves him. Eddie, reacting as any normal and sane person would, flies across the country to say it back.
Featuring good food, great company, bad bits, late-night psychics, East Coast gay bars, ghost towns, minor car accidents, and the Buckley parents being the Buckley parents.

Summary
Eddie’s been in Texas for about two and a half months when Buck answers an incoming video call with a grin on his face, one that quickly falls when he sees the look on Eddie’s.
His eyebrows are scrunched together, lips pursed as he chews on the inside of his cheek. He looks anxious – scared, almost, and Buck’s internal Eddie Alarms are screaming.
“Hey, Eds, everything okay?” He asks immediately, leaning forward in the kitchen seat where he’d sat to prop his tablet up.
“Huh? Yeah, yeah, no, everything’s fine, everybody’s alright, just-” He pauses, shrugging his shoulders, but it doesn’t ease any of the tension from his frame.
“Just?” Buck prompts when Eddie doesn’t continue.
“I think- there might-” He trails off again with a groan, rubbing his eyes roughly with his fingertips.
“Okay, you’re starting to scare me, Eddie.” Buck is already mentally calculating how to fit a plane ticket into his budget for this week, committed to cutting down on his takeout budget and maybe cancelling a few subscriptions, but Eddie shakes his head.
Or: A few months after Eddie moves to Texas, he and Buck share a revelatory phone call.

Summary
There’s one stack of texts, however, that catches her eye more than any of the others. Something so surreal she has to double-check she’s definitely reading correctly, that the time stamps are really what they appear to be.
Evan Buckley
43 iMessagesForty three texts received from Buck to Bobby’s phone since he had been gone. The most recent one dated just three hours before.
Forty three.
And he had only been dead eighteen days.
This damn kid breaks Athena’s heart.
---
In which Buck finds solace for his grief in Bobby's phone inbox, oblivious to the fact that Athena has had access to his texts the whole time. She holds off on reading them for as long as she can bear to. But when his behavior grows more and more concerning, it proves to not be nearly as long as either of them would like.

Summary
“I can’t believe this.” A voice Eddie recognizes all too well. He turns around and there he sees her, still in that yellow floral dress. “I carried that child in me for 9 months, only to have him grow up looking like your seven year situationship?!”
Eddie blanks. He doesn’t know what she means by “seven year situationship”, but he does know that she’s talking about Chris, with his curls that could rival Buck’s and…oh. That’s what she means.
