Summary
“You know you don’t have to do this, right?” Buck asks, tapping his thumbs against the front of the clipboard. He’s not nervous, necessarily, but this is the first time all day that it’s been just him and Eddie, and the weight of that settles over Buck making breathing harder.
Eddie’s eyes are glued to Buck’s moving thumbs, to the clipboard he’s holding. He stays silent and silent and silent.
“Eddie?” Buck calls, and this makes Eddie shake his head and finally move his gaze away from Buck’s hands and his clipboard to meet Buck’s eyes.
“What?” Eddie mumbles, like he’s waking up from a haze.
“I was saying that you don’t need to help me with this,” Buck says lightly waving the clipboard in front of him.
“But I want to,” Eddie says, and it sounds resounding and unequivocal. “I want to.”
Buck takes a deep breathe and says, “Okay, then let’s do this.”
(or 5 times Buck suspects just how much Eddie likes seeing him with a clipboard and one time he knows for sure.)

Summary
“We’re not going to pretend to be divorced just so Chris can get into a summer camp, Buck,” Eddie says, trying to sound convincing even as he starts to feel his resolution crumbling inside of him.
“Why not?” Buck asks, sounding genuinely baffled, like he can’t understand Eddie’s refusal at all.
And how does Eddie begin to explain the irrationality of his rational denial?
He can’t tell Buck the real reason he can’t go through with it. He can’t tell him without having to reach into his chest, clawing out his heart, setting it down at Buck’s feet still beating, and saying, “Because the only thing worse than loving you knowing I can’t have you would be having to pretend like I didn’t love you enough to keep you with me forever.”
(or the fake ex husbands to fake husbands to husbands fic.)

Summary
“I want to see,” Eddie says, and then specifies, “Your nipple piercings. I want to see them.”
And that’s right, Buck has nipple piercings. Buck got drunk last night because he’s in love with his best friend and obsessed with his mustache, and, while drunk, decided that the best course of action was, for some godforsaken reason, to get nipple piercings.
The worst part of it all is that drunk Buck might have been right, if the way Eddie is looking at him is anything to go by. Or maybe that’s the best part of it all.
“Can I…” Eddie doesn’t finish his question, but his hands have moved away from’s Buck nipples and are now hovering over the hem of Buck’s t-shirt, asking for wordless permission.
Buck doesn’t waste a second and he puts his arms up, giving himself to Eddie wholly and surely.
(or the one where Eddie’s mustache makes Buck lose his mind and get nipple piercings. And then Eddie loses his mind about Buck's nipple piercings. And then they lose their minds together.)

Summary
“Will you play for me?”
Eddie’s question visibly confuses Buck, who tilts his head and raises an eyebrow in a voiceless but clear question.
“Your guitar,” Eddie says. He clears his throat and swallows harshly. “Will you play your guitar for me?”
“Yes,” Buck exhales, nodding his head rapidly as he straightens his body like he’s been called to attention. “Of course, yeah, I— Yeah, I can— Should I— Do you want—”
Eddie isn’t quite sure whether bravery or stupidity drives him to say, “Grab your guitar and meet me in my bedroom.”
(or Buck starts learning how to play guitar, and Eddie handles it as well as he can.)

Summary
“I think I must have done something incredibly right in a past life to be able to bag myself the hot surfer with an adorable kid that I have been pining after for the whole summer,” Buck says with a chuckle.
“Buck…” Eddie groans as he shakes his head. “I’m a terrible surfer.”
“Oh, I know that, Eds,” Buck says, laughing wholeheartedly this time. “That’s why I said hot surfer and not great surfer. Chris is a million times better than you.”
