    Summary

    Someone exclaims in the background, but Buck’s voice cuts through louder when he asks, “You… you want to borrow my…?”

    “Flashlight,” Eddie supplies with patient emphasis. It is not, strictly speaking, a leap of faith to assume Buck of all people would have one, but he did move recently, so— who knows what’s still lost in Packed Box Limbo. “Please tell me you have one I can use.”

    “I…” there’s a lengthy pause on the other end, Buck’s voice weak and tapering off at the end. “Y-Yeah, okay.”

    Or: Eddie just needs to borrow some tools. Fleshlight, flashlight, what’s the difference? The distinction has never been more illuminating.

    Summary

    From: [email protected]

    To: [email protected]

    Subject: Hi

    Hi Eddie,

    That seems almost too informal to capture the complicated mess of emotions involved in starting this email. How do you say hello to your (former?) best friend of 7 years who fundamentally changed you after almost 5 years of silence? I definitely don't know. So I'll start with hi. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry I let the silence stretch out. I'm sorry I let the gap between us widen. I'm sorry I let time slip by. It was days before I realized I hadn't replied your texts or answered your calls. And I let it turn into weeks, months, years. I don't want the silence to have lasted longer than our friendship.

    Or; 5 years after Eddie leaves LA again for El Paso, 5 years after he and Buck stop talking, Buck decides to send an email. (A story told through email correspondence)

    Summary

    Chris still hadn’t answered his question, so Buck turned to him, his fingers brushing against the bookmark in the pages, but his focus was pinned to the sky, the galaxy swirling as the globe turned, and Buck watched the first tear slip down his face.

    “Hey, is there something off?”

    “I-I just don’t know why Dad doesn’t like you anymore.” 

    Oh...

    (it's new years and Eddie Diaz and Evan Buckley are going to talk in the winter premiere I SWEAR. if they don't ill bite someone)

    "Would you passionately kiss your best friend for one hundred dollars?" Chimney read from his phone.

    "Are you kidding?" Buck exclaimed, slapping a hand down on the table. "I'd do it for free!"

    -

    In which Buck does not think before he acts.

    Summary

    “God, Dad. No.” He huffed in displeasure. “I'm not— It's Buck, Dad.”

    Eddie barely ever heard that name anymore, except for an echo in his own head, and he went still, looking down at his phone and then replacing it by his ear.

    “What— what about him?” Eddie asked, hoping he sounded less thrown off guard than he felt. Hoping he sounded less breathless through the phone than he did to his own ears.

    “I got, um, an invite. To his wedding.”

    OR -

    A story told across five years. Eddie finds out Buck is marrying someone else and reflects on what brought them to this - and what, if anything, he can do about it.
