    Summary

    This was totally bro-like behaviour. It has to be. Because if it’s not, that would mean there was something more here. That would mean Buck is more than his best friend, right?

    And Buck is not more than his best friend.

    He can’t tear his eyes away from Buck’s lips. He can’t stop thinking about things like what a gorgeous smile they make and how pink they always are. Buck has been info-dumping about football for the past half-hour without hydrating himself, so they’re a little bit chapped, but still look perfect to kiss… to kiss... to kiss.

    “Can I kiss you?”

    Oh, fuck. That’s not what he meant to say. How on earth do you backpedal from–

     

    OR; buck and eddie trying to convince themselves they aren't absolutely smitten with each other before sharing the best first kiss (5 of buck and eddie's firsts and 1 of their lasts: first kiss)

    Summary

    “Buck,” Eddie says, and tugs on one of the uneven strings of Buck’s hoodie, and then Buck’s crying again.

    “You’ve gotta stop talking to me, man,” he tries to laugh, and Eddie doesn’t know what to do with his goddamn hands, because he should absolutely be reaching out, should be holding Buck close, but he’s so fucking afraid.

    in which tears bring clarity.

    Summary

    "Can I... can I give you a hickey?"

    Buck's brow furrowed. He leaned against the cabinet next to him, fingers gripping at the countertop. "Eddie, what?"

    "So people know you're mine," Eddie elaborated. He was well aware it didn't make him look any less crazy, but that ship had long since sailed anyways. Probably the moment Eddie had made eye contact with his neck and decided he needed to sink his teeth in.

    "Eddie, you're straight, and we aren't dating."

    _____

    Or, Eddie is definitely not jealous at all, and has a completely normal reaction to strangers talking to Buck.

    Summary

    Eddie—gulps, looking at him, because Buck doesn’t—he doesn’t look bothered, but he doesn’t look like he’s going to get up and finish the job, either. They’re at a standstill. The air in the room feels less like pops of static and more like a heavy cover of humidity. Their eyes won’t meet.

    “Uh,” Eddie manages, pointing to the door. Buck’s eyes are still somewhere past Eddie. “We should get back out there, huh?”

    “Yeah,” Buck says.

    …or, Buck and Eddie almost kiss. Things go about as well as you would expect them to go.
