    Summary

    In the comedown, Eddie lets himself drift. He waits for it—the shame, the guilt, the panic over thinking about his best friend while he got himself off.

    It comes, but not for the reasons he expects. Eddie melts into his mattress in the aftermath of his orgasm, and doesn’t stop thinking about it. He’s gay. He finds Buck hot. Buck is his best friend, his co-parent, his partner in just about everything. Buck likes men too. It’s a possibility, a real one. Eddie can see a future with Buck, and that’s when the panic hits him.

    Eddie wasn’t a good husband. What he has with Buck right now isn’t worth losing. Eddie is in love with his best friend, but he thought that about Shannon too—and look where that ended up.

    or: Eddie fucks an ex-priest, has a crisis of faith, and figures it out.

    Summary

    His mom’s mouth opened, then closed, as if she was grasping for something to say. Finally, she shook her head, her expression desperate. “God, what have you done?” she whispered, her voice breaking.
    Eddie knew, deep down, that his mother’s reaction wasn’t entirely unexpected. He knew she wouldn’t be proud, that this moment would cause a scene. But despite the weight of her words, despite the pain they caused, he couldn’t bring himself to regret his choices.
    Because Buck had helped him in ways no one else ever had. He had been there through every struggle, every moment of doubt, helping Eddie put his life back together piece by piece. How could he not love him? How could he not fight for this?
    Eddie’s voice was calmer now, though it carried an edge of defiance. “Mama,” he said, meeting her gaze head-on. “I’m just having fun. Being happy, you know?”

    Summary

    Professional Baseball Player Eddie Diaz and Professional Football Player Evan "Buck" Buckley have been married for the past six years, not that anyone outside of their close circle of friends and family knows that. But after they're photographed together and the internet starts going wild with sleuthing and conspiracy theories about their relationship, they're forced to consider whether or not the time may be right to come out publically.

    -or-

    “What about your blossoming “bromance” with Dodgers pitcher Eddie Diaz?”

    He barks a laugh, still on edge from the previous question, but at the mention of Diaz, he softens. “I would hardly call it blossoming.” Buckley laughs with his full body, hands clapping in front of him. “Just because the paparazzi haven’t gotten pics before doesn’t mean we just met!”

    “So you’ve been friends for a while?”

    “Oh yeah,” he leans back in his chair, using his hands for emphasis as he continues, “Eddie and I have known each other a looong time.” He grins, “You think I’d ask Taylor Swift if she’d make friendship bracelets for just anyone?”

    Summary

    “Okay, we’ve tried making peace with him, the amulet, incense, salt bath. What else breaks a curse?” Buck says, mostly talking to himself as he paces around. “Come on, think, think, think. Oh, oh, there is the classic. True love’s kiss.”

    “I told you I’m not kissing you until the boils go away,” Tommy says, yawning.

    And suddenly, this whole thing stops being funny.

    First off, it’s…bold to think that he’s Buck’s true love. Especially when he won’t kiss him because of some boils on his face. Mind you, Buck could have thousand more boils on his face and Tommy would still be the uglier one.

    Whatever. Eddie breaths. Unclenches his fists. It’s fine. They’re dating. They’re dating and it’s totally, completely, fine.

    Summary

    Eddie glances back up and finds Buck’s attention already fixed on him in the mirror. Buck smiles at him, eyes big and wide and sparkly, as he holds his hands up and asks-

    “What do you think?”

    Eddie’s gaze flickers between Buck’s eyes, and the blue, purple, and pink heart that’s been placed ever so carefully on his cheek, just beneath his left eye. It draws Eddie’s attention to Buck’s birthmark - to the lovely, pink angel kiss that he always wants to reach out and touch…to press his lips to. Buck looks so good that Eddie can’t keep it to himself.

     

    (Or, Buck and Eddie get ready for pride together. Some confessions are made along the way.)
