    Summary

    Alright, now to prove he’s right.

    Finger on the cursor, Buck types an a to start.

    Google, in all its autocomplete glory, gives Buck some options. Four suggestions stack top to bottom in whatever order Google decides matters most on any given evening, and the four that come up under Buck's single letter are, in order:

    am i gay quiz (visited 2 days ago)

    Amazon (visited 5 days ago)

    american airlines

    ammonia bleach mix

    Buck stops chewing the inside of his cheek — which, honestly, he didn’t even realize he was doing.

    That’s — huh.

    That’s not what he was expecting at all.

    Or,
    Buck uses Eddie's laptop and sees something he isn't supposed to see. He reacts accordingly.

    Summary

    “Shh, no, don’t talk. I just got a response, finally. From the others. They’re coming, Eddie. You’re going to be okay, just stay awake.”

    The elevator hadn’t moved yet. They were still trapped in no man’s land, still stuck too far for them to easily get to Eddie and save him. Buck could try to keep faith, but Eddie knew better, and so Eddie had to say it before he lost the chance.

    “Buck, listen, I—”

    “Eddie, don’t. No goodbyes, okay? Please?”

    “I’m not going to die without saying this, so shut up and listen.” Eddie managed to rasp out.

    Buck, to his credit, shut up and listened.

    OR -

    Buck and Eddie are stuck in the elevator together as Eddie bleeds out from his stabbing. Truths are realised, secrets are spilled.

    Summary

    There's a clear plastic container on the kitchen table. Eddie sets the bag down warily on the counter, approaches it warily, as if it's a live grenade. Which is prescient, he realizes a moment later.

    It is, as the message suggested, a cake. A small one, sized so that a person could eat it in a single sitting if they were feeling greedy and indulgent. Chocolate layers, topped with a silky-looking ganache; Buck even sprinkled little curls of white chocolate around the edges for decoration. Lettering piped in bright red frosting, uneven but perfectly legible, reads, DON'T IGNORE ME, I SUCKED YOUR DICK.

    Summary

    Eddie interrupts. “Well,” he says, turning fully to their waiter, “today’s kind of a special occasion, you see.”

    Sven smiles. “Someone’s birthday?” He looks between Buck and Eddie.

    “It’s actually, uh, our anniversary,” Eddie says, reaching out a hand to place over Buck’s.

    Buck chokes, even though all the bread is safely in the bread basket.

     

    or, buck wants a free tiramisu. eddie has a tried-and-tested plan to get it.

    Summary

    Eddie touches Buck a lot.

    It’s a thing they do, has been for years, and it’s not a big deal. Eddie’s an affectionate guy. Side hugs and arm grabs and that move where Eddie steers him through doorways with a hand on his lower back.

    All of which Buck has never spent any real time considering because it’s just Eddie, it’s just how he is. Eddie touches people and Buck just happens to be the person standing next to him most of the time, so it’s aimed at him most of the time. Proximity and frequency, that’s all. A coincidence.

    They’re close. They always have been. So what?

    All that being said, there is one thing Eddie doesn’t do.

    Eddie doesn’t kiss Buck.

    Or — didn’t. Past tense, until about thirty seconds ago, when Eddie leaned across their table at the diner they’re currently eating at and pressed his mouth to Buck’s cheek like the kiss was just another item on a list of things he was doing that afternoon.

    Or,
    The totally natural and platonic long-term friendship escalation of kissing your best friend on multiple parts of his body without explanation.
