    Hi. I’ve never posted here before but my friends can’t help me so maybe you guys can. I (12M) have kind of been going crazy trying to figure out what is going on with my dad (31M) and his best friend, B (31M).

    Summary

    “Hey,” Evan said, raising his voice a little to be heard through the open window. “Why don't you send me a letter sometime? A little snail mail. You know my address, yeah?”

    Eddie laughed, throwing his head back, and waved him away. Evan would probably never see Eddie again, as much as he wished he would. What were the chances he'd actually write? Evan had been half joking, and no one even sent letters nowadays.

     

    Three weeks later, Evan opened his mailbox. Sitting there, mixed in with the bills and flyers, was a lightly crumpled envelope with an Army Post Office return address.

    Summary

    Dear Captain Nash,

    I know this email is kind of out of the blue, but I didn’t know who else to reach out to. I’m not even sure how to start this email. One time Buck and I signed up for this pen pal program, but the kid in Maine I was writing with gave up after two rounds of letters. It was during my ancient Egypt phase and I think I scared him off with my questions about mummies. Buck told me I was too cool for him anyway.

    or

    When Chris starts going to church in Texas he reaches out to the only person he can think of who might have some answers, meanwhile Eddie uses his email to try and talk to God, and Buck... well Buck online shops mostly.

    A season 8 rewrite told only through email.

    Summary

    “Did I do something?”

    Buck stops and turns his head to look at him, confused. “Huh?”

    “Look, I can handle it. I'm a grown man. I'd rather know.”

    Buck frowns, holding out his hand to stop Eddie. “What are you talking about?”

    “You haven't…” Eddie clears his throat, suddenly feeling his face really, really hot.

    Buck’s frown snaps a little bit, his lips barely quirking up at the corners as he takes half step closer to Eddie. “Say it.”

    “I…” Eddie’s face is on fire, his mouth is dry, and whatever courage he’d found within him has evaporated and disappeared. “I… can't…”

    Buck nods, grinning. “Well, that answers your question.”

    Eddie’s eyebrows shoot up. “So you're, what, punishing me?”

    There’s a moment of stunned hesitation before Buck laughs brightly, blue eyes glued to Eddie’s annoyed face.

    “Is not being kissed by me that much of a punishment?”

    Yes. But he doesn't say it.

    His face does though.

     

    Or: Buck refuses to kiss Eddie. He's only kind of crashing out about it.

    Summary

    "Evan. Listen to me.” Eddie holds Buck’s face between his hands “It was just some man in the school playground. I don't care about him. I didn't even notice he was flirting with me."

    "What's his name?"

    "Matthew–"

    Buck pushes Eddie back and he tumbles, hitting the dining table and catching himself on the table top. Buck’s eyes are zeroed in on Eddie, his focus burning, his gaze electrifying. Eddie immediately feels a slight tightness in his jeans.

    "What. Was. His. Name" he asks again, his eyes darker still, pupils blown wide. Eddie's heart jumps at the sight, still slightly leaned back. His breath quickens as Buck looks down at him angrily. Furiously.

    Hungrily.

     
     

    Or: Eddie receives some unexpected attention and Buck needs to remind him who gets to have him on the dining room table.
