    Summary

    "And I understand if you want to move out, or something," Mike continues, his voice getting thick as tears prick at his eyes, "because it's weird for your best friend to be thinking about you like that, and— you know what? I'll just go." He starts to get up, pushing himself up on his hands as shame curls heavy in his stomach. "I'm sorry—"

    Without warning, Will's boot comes to hover over his chest. Mike stops in place, his mouth hanging open.

    "Stay on the floor." Will's voice is uncertain, wavering with nerves, but his eyes darken like he's never wanted anything more in his life. He presses the tip of his shoe to Mike's chest, and— painfully slowly— pushes him down.

    Or; Mike is embarrassingly obsessed with Will's new style. Will helps him through it.

    Summary

    “Bless your heart, you really are new to this. Good for y’all, though. I’m glad this ship is… accepting.”

    Eddie straightens in his seat. “What does that mean?”

    All four wince as a young man taps the microphone onstage.

    “Testing, testing,” he jokes. “Welcome to the Cruisin’ Couples Trivia Tournament!”

    The patrons around them cheer. Eddie digs his nails into Buck’s skin harsh enough to make him wince.

    “Oh,” he breathes. “This is for couples.”

    or: After getting dumped, Buck is left with two tickets to a weeklong cruise. Eddie steps in to support a friend in need, but complications arise when his friend becomes his fake husband. All's fair in love, war, and trivia.

    Summary

    Eddie Diaz is fine. Totally fine. In control. Focused. Definitely not distracted.
    ...Okay, maybe slightly distracted. But who wouldn’t be? Life’s been weird lately—like, can’t-focus-on-work, lost-in-thought, zoning-out-mid-conversation kind of weird. It’s probably stress. Or lack of sleep. His concussion. Or Buck’s fault. (It’s definitely Buck’s fault.)

    All Eddie knows is that his brain has been taking some... creative liberties lately. And while most people might daydream about, say, a vacation or winning the lottery, Eddie’s subconscious seems to have its own, very specific, very Buck-centered agenda.

    He’s not worried. Not really. These things pass.
    Right?

    Summary

    “My dads,” Christopher mumbles in his sleep. “Are getting married.”

    Eddie clears his throat. From the corner of his eye, he can see Buck’s knuckles tighten on the steering wheel.

    “I’m not a flower girl!” Christopher continues, annoyed. “I have no flowers.”

    “Maybe we should wake him?” Buck suggests. “He seems, um. Distressed.”

     

    Or, Christopher sleep talks. Buck and Eddie get a front row seat to his dream.
