    Summary

    Thinking of strong arms embracing him from behind. Amber eyes and a soft strand of hair falling over a forehead. A scar on the bottom lip and a tattoo wrapped around a forearm—Buck blows on the eyelash. It flies away in the wind.

    Finally, he tears his eyes away from it. His stare meets Eddie’s again, whose grin still hasn’t diminished.

    Buck stutters out, “Sorry,” and takes a small step away from him. Eddie still doesn’t budge.

    “No, it's—” Eddie’s fingers brush over where Buck’s once were on his face. “Uh, what does it mean?”

    “Hmm?”

    “The eyelash. It must mean something,” Eddie says. “Apparently, everything has a hidden meaning now. Tell me about it.” His tone is soft, and Buck melts like putty in his hands.

    OR Buck becomes strangely and obsessively superstitious about all aspects of life to hide from the fact that he’s deeply in love with his straight best friend.

    Summary

    Buck goes back and rereads the message. It says thank you, it says you matter.

    To Buck, the message is a vow. It's the emoji at the end of the message and the one-handed wave Eddie gave him on the curb.

    Or: Eddie starts making a point of telling Buck how much he appreciates him. Buck starts believing him.

    Summary

    “Oh,” Eddie yells after him, tone almost mocking. “So that’s it? You’re just going to walk away?”

    Buck stops, biting down on his cheek. He knows, distantly, that they’re making a scene. That everyone who isn’t actively putting what’s left of the fire out can see and hear everything they’re saying. He sighs. “I don’t know why you’re so pissed,” he mutters, twisting back around to face him just in time to see Eddie’s eyebrows rise high up on his forehead.

    “You don’t know why I’m pissed?” Eddie asks, stepping towards him.

    Shit. He needs to walk away before this blows up. They’re one throw away comment from explosion.

    Buck whips back around, taking a step towards the engine and away from Eddie. “That’s what I said,” he calls over his shoulder. Which—maybe, isn’t the thing to say to cool things down.

    But—

    “I’m pissed,” Eddie shouts back, voice frayed and desperate, “Because I fucking love you.”

    --

    Or, loud so everyone can hear.

    Summary

    He's going back to the aquarium.

    Not for Buck. Obviously, categorically, definitively not for Buck.

    For Christopher, who loved it.

    For a new sticker, because the old one is gone and he needs a replacement the way you'd replace a toothbrush or a phone charger, because it's a functional object that serves a functional purpose in his life.

    If Buck happens to be there, then fine, great. Eddie can say hi, because there's nothing weird about wanting to see someone again. People revisit people. That's a normal thing to do. It doesn't have to mean anything. Besides, Chris loved Buck, so really, he only hopes Buck is there so Chris can see him again.

    Or,
    Eddie and his totally normal obsession with the aquarium. Which definitely has nothing to do with a certain employee named Buck.

    Summary

    Mi media naranja. Half an orange, right? Like—two sides of the same coin, or something. A complementary coupla guys. A little silly, maybe, referring to a grown adult as a piece of fruit, but the sentiment is sweet enough.

    “Hey,” Buck asks the girl beside him. “Um, Alba. She called Rosie ‘mi media naranja’. Like—half an orange? Is that a common saying in Mexico?”

    “Oh, sure,” she nods. “It’s a pretty normal term of endearment. Cheesy as hell, but, well.” She gestures at where Eddie and the two women are sitting. Alba’s holding Rosie’s hand now. “When you’ve known each other that long and fit together that well… it’s just sweet.”

    My most best friend. That’s what Alba said. That’s—well, that’s who Eddie is to him, essentially. And if what Eddie’s missing is a little affection in a language that feels like home, well. Buck can give that to him.
     

    or, buck notices the lack of spanish terms of endearment in eddie’s life since his abuela died. so, he’s armed with what he’s been reliably informed is a totally normal thing to call your buddy. Operation Make My Best Friend Feel Cherished, as he’s named it on a trial basis in the privacy of his own head, is a-go
