Summary
“It’s yours,” Eddie had finally said, looking down at it for a moment before handing the phone to him. “I… There’s a lot of stuff you might want to go through on there.”
Buck frowned, confused, but when he looked down at the screen, he saw it.
[250 missed calls]
[635 unread messages]“Wha–”
“A lot of people used it as a… A way to communicate with you while you were gone.”
Eddie’s voice was tense. Buck couldn’t stop staring, reading the top message from Eddie over and over again, the only one that he could see. It didn’t make sense.
“You don’t have to go through it all but… We missed you, ba– Buck.” Buck slowly looked up from his phone, and there was that look again. Eddie had reached out, the same way he had when Buck came back, fingers brushing across his face gently. Buck wanted to melt into it. He did, later, but in that moment, he had to keep himself together.
“I want to.”
“Okay,” Eddie’s hand had dropped. Buck’s skin felt cold. “Come get me when you’re done.”
OR
Buck gets blipped. Eddie's left behind. A love story told through what Eddie did in his absence.

Summary
"This is Eddie. I'm pinned. Buck's hurt. Stand by."
"Hurt how?" Bobby asks.
"Impaled. Stand by."
"I need details, Eddie!" Bobby's voice is strained, even through the radio. Buck thinks of Springsteen tickets and rosary beads and dinners at the Grant-Nash house.
"I'll give you details when I have them," Eddie practically snaps.

Summary
“Marry?” Eddie’s voice pulls Buck's attention back to him. “Is that supposed to be a marriage proposal?”
“Probably,” Buck laughs a little hysterically. Yours, he would say if everything was perfect and the banner wasn’t on fire, but he sure as hell isn’t going to tell Eddie that now. Out of the corner of his eyes, he sees Christopher try to hide a giggle behind his hands.
Eddie hums, lips pulled into a sympathetic frown. “That sucks. I feel bad for whoever’s proposal got ruined.”
“Yeah.” Buck sighs and looks up defeatedly at the burning banner in the sky as the sirens in the distance grow louder. “Me too.”
[Two months into officially dating Eddie, Buck begins to plan the perfect, extravagant proposal that his boyfriend deserves. As usual, nothing goes according to plan.]

Summary
Buck lets out a heavy sigh, and when he speaks, his voice is unsteady. “I’m starting to think that… maybe I’m not meant for the things that I want. Maybe it’s time for me to manage my expectations.”
Manage his—jesus. Is that what he thinks? Does he think he’ll never get to be happy?
His words act as a crowbar, cracking Eddie’s rib cage open to expose his heart, beating to the sound of Buck’s name. Buck Buck Buck Buck Buck Buck Buck. Eddie wants, nonsensically, to carve out all his insides to make room for Buck to crawl inside where it’s warm and safe and where Eddie can protect him from the relentless, persistent hurt that is Buck’s own insecurities and deep-rooted trauma.
(Or, Buck thinks he'll never get his happily ever after. Eddie begs to differ.)

Summary
Erik is single, working a cube job he hates, letting his master's degree in mutant studies collect dust, and living on his best friend's couch. When she kicks him out, he's forced to trawl Craigslist for the least-offensive rooming option within his meagre budget. He never expects a response from the persnickety, high maintenance ad he replies to as a joke, but it's possible this too-nice apartment and mysteriously absent roommate might be the answer to all four of his problems.

Summary
Eddie is holding out hope that Buck had just accidentally fallen asleep there and he really didn’t think that when Eddie said ‘You’re always welcome to the other half of the bed Buck’ he wasn’t being serious.
Well.
Eddie was being serious. Because Buck, this godsend of a man, that made Eddie’s life so much better in completely different ways, was not sleeping on his cramped annoyingly small couch.

Summary
On the bottom of the drawer, there’s a sticky note. And in Buck’s ADHD, dyslexic, chicken scratch handwriting, ‘eddie’s drawer!’ is scrawled across it and surrounded by little hearts.
“Ev,” Eddie starts, brain catching up, “Does this not mess up your whole system?”
It’s terribly sweet that that’s Eddie’s first thought; always looking out for Buck and supporting all the unique systems he has—his ‘favourite underwear drawer’ suddenly being reassigned definitely shifts some things around for him.
“It does,” Buck sighs happily. “But my boyfriend"—he’ll never get tired of using that word—“needs a spot for his things."
OR; buck never wants eddie to go home if he doesn't want to. so, buck being buck, is an incredibly thoughtful and adorable boyfriend (5 of buck and eddie's firsts and 1 of their lasts: first designated drawer)
