    Summary

    This summer has had some subversive effects on his very definition of what it means to want.

    He’s always been good at not wanting too much or too recklessly. But these days, it seems like he’s insatiable, wrought with hunger and pillaging to consume.

    Maybe it's because this kind of wanting feels offensive—something he thought he’d snuffed out decades ago, made benign.

    He’s always been so good at beating it down, down, down into submission whenever it reared its ugly head; he had a handle on it.

    Now, it’s all gone to shit.

    or; Buck and Eddie have sex, Eddie freaks out. Wash, rinse, repeat.

    Summary

    “Would you date me if I was a girl?”

    Eddie's question surprises them both, air between them full of breath-held tension before Buck scoffs, eyebrows furrowing but mouth curling into a toothy smile. 

    “Dude, I would date you right now,” he answers easily, not really stopping to consider the other options. Then, he volleys back, “Would you date me if I was a girl?

    Eddie raises his eyes to Buck’s high, dark ceiling and does actually think about it for a lengthy moment, turning the concept over in his hands like a Rubik's cube. He tries to imagine Buck as a woman, dirty blond curls framing his face, muscular build, same baby blue eyes and the pink birthmark. Not much would change in the end and Eddie already likes all the parts of Buck he knows now. 

    “Yeah, Buck, I would.”

    Buck smiles wider at that, clearly pleased, and buries a yawn in his pillow. His fingers go a little slack as their interconnected hands rest between them, clearly inching further towards sleep. “Maybe you should,” he mumbles.

     

    or: Buck and Eddie sleep together platonically through the years of their friendship, unaware they're falling in love.

    Summary

    In 2022, Hen and Karen made a bet. By 2024, that bet had gotten somewhat out of control. Now it’s 2025, Bobby is dead, Buck is apartment hunting, and Eddie finds a list of names and dates in Hen’s locker.

    Oh, and there's a backup on the 10. Again.

    -

    Or: betting on when your friends will realize they're in love is a lot less funny when one of them already knows.

    Summary

    She shakes her head. “I don’t want to play princesses anymore,” she says.

    Eddie feels his stomach churn. Why does that bother him? He should be happy. He’s terrible at this game. He’s always been bad at playing pretend. It’s never been fun for him.

    So why, he wonders, does the idea of going back to Normal Eddie feel like such a task?

    He swallows. “What if I want to keep being Princess Eddie?” he whispers.

    Eddie plays princesses with Jee. It breaks him.

    Summary

    And here they are, tangled up in Eddie’s bed between the sheets and Buck’s skin and the delicious softness of the way his boxers bunch up between his legs, the faint smattering of freckles on his thigh and the blonde hair there, lighter and softer the further up it goes, disappearing beneath the faint blue and white stripes on the fabric.

    Buck looks up at him, bright and alive. And Eddie wants.

    on wanting, taking, and Eddie's head in buck's lap
