    Summary

    I slept with Buck, he imagines saying out loud. To Bobby, probably. Bobby gives good advice, always listens carefully, like it matters. Doesn't judge, at least not out loud.

    Gave. Bobby gave good advice. Bobby is never going to look at Eddie across the big table at the station loft with a faintly amused expression on his face while he tells Eddie something that Eddie deep down already knew.

    I slept with Buck. I don't know what to do.

    Bobby would raise his eyebrows and say, Well, maybe you should talk to him.

    Summary

    Eddie listens to the voicemail later. Buck sounds like he’s at a grocery store, absentmindedly talking into the phone. “Oh, I guess you’re with your sisters. Sorry to miss you. I just wanted to tell you about this call we had last night, but I gotta hear your reactions, so, later. Okay, uh, I guess I’ll just call back. Or text.”

    It ends abruptly, without a goodbye. Eddie replays it a second time, closes his eyes as he sits in the truck. For a moment, he can pretend Buck is sitting in the passenger seat next to him. For a moment, Eddie is back in Los Angeles and his best friend is dragging him through the grocery store.

    The voicemail ends, Eddie opens his eyes, and the fantasy breaks. Eddie is still in El Paso, parked in front of the house he’s renting, and there’s no one in the passenger seat with him.

    Eddie moves to Texas. Buck moves into his house. There's a love story somewhere in here.

    Summary

    His heart is pounding. His mouth is dry. He can’t look away. He wants—

     

    What do I want? What brings me joy?

     

    He’s not sure about the joy part, but Eddie is hot. Eddie is hot, and his insides are jumping, and he wants to sink his teeth into that skin. He wants to mark it, bruise it, and then soothe the bite with his tongue, and rub his nose into that line of hair.

    Eddie thinks, oh.

    Eddie thinks, that explains a lot.

    Eddie thinks, I want Buck. Buck brings me joy.

    (Or, Eddie realizes what he wants, and decides he's gonna go get it.)

    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.
