    Summary

    "Alright, how about this." Eddie is talking before he's really even finished the thought. "If we're both still single by the time we turn 40, we can just get married."

    Buck chokes. Eddie watches him swallow convulsively as he tries to recover. "To each other?"

    Summary

    He tugs his shirt down over his lap, very casually, the most casual of boner cover-ups in the history of—

    Eddie’s eyes drop to track the movement, then lower, before shooting back up, wider than before. Then, slowly, back down.

    What follows is a silence that has a sound to it. A high-pitched ringing that fills the space between two people when one of them has an erection in an otherwise erectionless situation.

    “Buck,” Eddie whispers to Buck’s penis.

    Buck squeezes his eyes shut. “Don’t.”

    “Are you—”

    “I am not.”

    Eddie glances down again, quick, like he can’t help it. “Buck, are you getting turned on by us fighting right now?”

    Why yes, Eddie, my dearest friend who is also straight and on top of me right now, I sure am.

    Buck sure as hell can’t say that, now can he?

    “...It’s been a really, really long three weeks, man.”

    Or,
    Platonic mutual masturbation is all fun and games unless you're in love with your best friend.

    Summary

    Eddie rolls his eyes. “Do I want to enjoy a soak in a hot tub on a pleasantly cool night, soothing my aching muscles and aging joints, possibly while drinking a beer and enjoying the company of my best friend? Yes? I am not insane.”

    “I just… I figured you’d be one of those ‘hot tubs just make people soup’ people.” Buck grimaces. Eddie grimaces back.

    “No one I would rather become soup with, bud,” Eddie agrees.

    OR

    Buck and Eddie test out the hot tub on Buck’s patio. And the ground next to it. And the bed.

    Summary

    “Hey, Diaz? Take it from someone who’s been there — it’s not as scary as you think it’ll be.”

    Eddie frowns. He glances at Buck, as if Buck has any idea what Tommy is talking about. “What’s not?”

    “I like to think I’m uniquely positioned to say it’s worth it.”

    Or, Buck is not in love with his best friend, and Eddie is super straight. For sure. Definitely.

    Summary

    “Did you take anything?” Eddie asks quietly. He doesn’t think Buck’s fallen off the wagon, knows he’s been in therapy about his drug abuse, knows the therapy is helping. And Buck doesn’t look high, but there are plenty of other non-narcotic drugs he could’ve taken.

    “No,” Buck says vehemently. “I haven’t ta—I don’t know what’s happening.”

    “Okay,” Eddie says. He can usually tell when Buck’s lying, and he’s not right now. “How long have you been, um. Hard?”
