    Summary

    Nineteen hours after Buck leaves Eddie’s home, he knocks on the front door. Eddie looks down at his watch, convinced he’d lost track of time—he’s still got his shirt unbuttoned, hair wet from his shower, polish still drying on his shoes where they sit in the kitchen—but it’s only a hair before six. He frowns when he answers the door, knowing Buck will be entirely put together and ready to go.

    He is. He’s got his hands behind his back, shoulders straining against his deep blue dress shirt. It’s new, Eddie can tell, the collar crisp and not a wrinkle to be found. “You’re early,” Eddie grouches, even as he steps aside to allow annoyingly, irritatingly hot and presentable Buck in.

    But Buck doesn’t move. “Eddie,” he says, and his voice is smooth and low. It’s a tone that snaps Eddie’s attention back up to his face.

    Summary

    Margaret’s gone for a mere five minutes to freshen up and get a quick breath of air, but once she returns, Phillip’s standing off to the side of the room, frowning. Not angrily, not quite, but he’s clearly not happy with whatever he’s watching so intently, either. And Margaret can see why once she reaches him, shock warring with confusion as she follows Phillip’s gaze only to spot Evan on the dancefloor, leaning against Tom as they sway together slowly, Jee-Yun snuggled up between them.

    “He,” Phillip begins, but then seems to lose his words.

    Margaret can’t blame him. She feels similarly speechless.

    Summary

    Buck loves Eddie, and Eddie is leaving.

    It’s a story written in Buck’s bone marrow; he was created to be abandoned.

    OR

    Eddie tells Buck he's moving to El Paso. Buck handles it extremely normal, becomes passively suicidal, and nearly ruins his and Eddie's friendship in the process.

    Summary

    Honestly, they’ve gone longer than Eddie would have thought without anyone finding out about them, especially with how nosy the whole team is. It was only a matter of time before one of them slipped up. Both he and Buck were aware of that possibility, had talked about it, and knew that it would come eventually.

    The thing is, Eddie never thought that it would be him that let things slip.
