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.

Summary
For a sickening, devastating second, Eddie thinks Buck is going to turn his back on him and rush to Tommy.
But then Buck’s expression crumples into something so sad that Eddie would do just about anything to get rid of it - to change it into the sunshine smile he’s so accustomed to. And then Buck is hurrying towards him, arms outstretched so he can take Eddie’s bruised and bleeding hand into his own.
“What the hell happened?” Buck asks, frantic. “Are you okay?”
Tommy scoffs. “He punched me,” he yells, straining against Chim and Ravi’s hold.

Summary
Buck glances at Eddie’s bedroom door one more time, almost like he’s willing it to open. But the door stays mostly closed and Buck feels himself deflate as he grabs his bag and keys.
He quietly closes the door and locks it behind him, and he’s just about to turn the car on when he frowns and realizes that he left his jacket in the house. He knows he’ll probably be back at some point tomorrow to get it, but he thinks about Eddie under all that mud. He thinks of his head on Bobby’s lap and Eddie’s name on his lips, screamed into the air. He felt –
He felt like his whole soul was being buried under the mud, and that’s what scares him the most.
Sighing, he gets out of the Jeep and decides to get his jacket, and if he happens to listen for any signs of movement from Eddie’s room for a few more seconds before he leaves again, then that’s between Buck and God.
--
Or, Buck lingers until he finally stays.- Language:
