    Summary

    "Hey, sorry about that, I was just—Eddie?”

    Eddie’s head shot up at the sight of Buck, frozen halfway towards his seat. “Buck?”

    Buck let out an awkward chuckle and glanced around. “There must be a mix-up, I’ll go ask—”

    “No!” Eddie practically yelled the word, and then he winced at the desperation in his own voice. Belatedly, he realized it was possible that people who were interested in men were supposed to be sitting there. But Buck was watching him with wide eyes, still paused leaning on his chair, so Eddie added, “I could use a six-minute break. You know, from finding out how many siblings every woman in this bar has.”

    Buck’s eyes glinted in the dim bar lighting. He finally took the seat and asked, “oh, so you don’t care about how many siblings I have?”

    ——

    Eddie and Buck finally go on a date. It just takes them three times to realize it.

    Summary

    “We should make it a road trip, Eddie! We never hang out anymore, Eddie! It’ll be so fun, Eddie!” Eddie mimics, his voice trailing as he disappears into the tiny bathroom connected to their Budget Queen motel room.

    “We’re not stranded,” Buck scoffs. “And you weren’t saying that when you were stuffing your face with the tamales that I found, or the cherry pie that I read about.”

     

    Or, there was only one bed. And a lot of bickering.

    Summary

    Buck had counted no less than six attempts to kiss him tonight. He found it so endearing to watch Eddie lean in just a fraction before getting shy and turning away. But god help him, either Eddie Diaz was going to kiss Buck tonight or they were going to die on this front step. Dealer’s choice.

    or, Buck and Eddie have their first kiss, and Eddie really needs to talk to his best friend.

    Summary

    “I need you to drive me to the dentist.”

    “Okay, yeah,” Buck agrees. “Put it in the calendar.”

    “No,” Eddie says, clearing his throat. He sucks in a breath through his nose and lets it out through his mouth. “I need you to drive me, and I need you to stay, or I will climb out the restroom window.”

     

    Or, Eddie is scared of the dentist. That's one secret. The other is in his sock drawer.
