    Summary

    "What are you saying, Eddie?" Buck asks again, soft and patient, and it's so unlike him that Eddie melts into his chair.

    "Yeah," Eddie chuckles. "What am I saying?"

    "Y-you want to try with me? Figuring out…"

    "If we could want the same form of physical intimacy from each other," Eddie finishes for him with a nod, a little more confident now.

    "H-how?"

    "Uh, I don't know yet," Eddie admits. "Slowly, I suppose. I thought we could, you know, come up with a plan together?"

    "A plan," Buck echoes, but he doesn't sound weirded out, more like he's already planning to buy a clipboard. "And it wouldn't be strange? I mean, considering— I'm a man, Eddie."

    OR After the attack in the hospital, Eddie finds a letter hidden inside a book that Buck gave him, and reading it unravels him irreparably.

    Summary

    He’s born as Evan Buckley to parents who don’t want him.

    Evan means spare parts. Evan means not good enough. Evan means disappointment and failure, you’re reckless, and you’re too much. Forgotten birthdays and football games.

    Under a bright blue sky, he’s reborn as Buck.

    “‘Cause you’re fast and you’re strong and you’re stubborn as hell,” says another Evan, clapping him on the back.

    “Yeah, and you kinda get that deer in the headlights look when you get confused,” the third Evan ribs.

    And Evan - Buck - is fine with that.

    Buck feels like him. He tries it on. He likes it.

    *

    Or - Theo draws a picture of his family at preschool and he’s very proud of it. Eddie is, too. But Buck and Chris? They’re very much bothered and bewildered.

    Summary

    Eddie swallowed hard, his throat aching from nearly an hour – or maybe days – of trying not to cry. Everything that happened since he moved to Texas six months ago, and everything that happened since moving back, descended upon him all at once, and it was heavy, and all he wanted to do was put it down or let it crush him, whichever came first.

    And if he managed to do the former? If he did the scary thing and admitted it all? If he allowed himself to go to that place, that part of himself that he’d hidden away all these years? He could lose everything he’d fought to keep these last few years. He wasn’t sure if it was worth it.

    Eddie blinked, praying that the tears in the corners of his eyes would stay right there. The breath he drew in was ragged. He never should have come here.

    Summary

    His mom clears her throat, squinting her eyes at Eddie. “Whose is he? Do you—Do you have a new girlfriend?”

    Theo giggles and looks up at her from below. “Eddie doesn’t have a girlfriend! That’s silly!”

    Eddie nearly chokes. Silly… Yeah, maybe so. “Uh—No. No girlfriend.”

    “Then whose is he, Eddie?” His dad asks.

    And with the comedic timing of one of those corny 90s sitcoms, Buck chooses that exact moment to walk out of the kitchen.

    Or: Eddie's parents make a surprise visit for Christopher's sixteenth birthday. What they didn't expect was finding a few surprises of their own.

    Or: Eddie is convinced the universe hates him when his parents come to visit. With them already believing he and Buck are together, Eddie decides to roll with it.
