    Summary

    “And so maybe you’re — you’re kind of like a penguin, you know? And I always liked penguins — they’re great, right? Who doesn’t like penguins? — but that was never me. I was something else. Like a cheetah, maybe. Do you — do you get what I’m saying?”

    And Buck…

    Buck absolutely does not get when Eddie’s saying.

    But now Eddie’s looking at him with these imploring eyes — golden brown and gleaming — and Buck doesn’t want to do anything to disrupt this groove he’s in, not when he’s talking about what he wants, about things that make him happy.

    So, “Yeah,” he says, and when Eddie smiles again, all relief, he knows it’s the right call.

    Or: Eddie comes out to Buck; Buck thinks he wants to go to the zoo.

    Summary

    “Buck told you we were divorced?” Eddie practically spits out, his lips doing a weird thing as if he doesn't know if he should laugh, cry, or curse her out.

    “No! Well— I kinda assumed? I mean— It was implicit?” She tries to defend herself. “I didn't mean to sleep with your husband! I swear! I would never— That's just not the kind of person I am, y’know?”

    Eddie, for the first time since Jules’ met him five minutes ago, seems flustered and at a loss for words. Jules, like the coward she is, takes that as her cue to get the hell out of there, slamming the door behind her and just starting to walk until she's far away from that house.

    or:
    Buck's one night stand is a genius, actually, and she has no idea what she just unleashed.

    Summary

    “Why are you acting like this isn’t a big deal?” His voice was raised, but he wasn’t yelling. “Buck, you have been living out of a storage unit for weeks! You’re in pain, you’re hungry, and you’re— You’re homeless. You have no home."

    Eddie had such a way with words. You have no home. Very nice of him.

    “What do you want me to do, Eddie?” He put the measuring cup down with enough force that it bounced to the floor. “Breakdown and cry? Get on my knees and beg someone for a loan? I took what I could.”

    “No, you didn’t.” Eddie’s cursed index finger came up, pointing right at Buck’s chest. “Because you didn’t tell anyone! We would’ve helped you. I would’ve helped you.”

    “I don’t want anyone’s help,” Buck pressed. “I got myself into this situation, and I can get myself out. I always do.”

    Eddie held both his hands up, but they dropped as something dawned on him. Misery flooded his features. “You took over my lease.”

    The last thing Buck wanted to do was make Eddie feel guilty. His decisions put him where he was— Nobody else’s. Still, his head fell. “Yeah, Eddie. I did.”

    Or the one where Buck has no choice but to move into a storage unit, and Eddie finds out.
