    Summary

    "Buck," Eddie said, his voice dropping an octave as he stepped into Buck’s personal space, his chest brushing against Buck’s shirt. "If you wear that hat, everyone is going to be looking at you. And I’m the one who has to pretend I don’t want to drag you back to this bed the second we walk into the bar."

    Buck bit his lip, his bravado wavering for a split second as his breath hitched. Eddie could see the conflict in his eyes, he knew Buck loved pushing his buttons, especially when Eddie indulged and pushed back. "Well," Buck whispered. "Then I guess you better keep a close eye on me, cowboy."

    In Nashville, Buck and Eddie find out that mechanical bull riding makes for the best kind of foreplay.

    Summary

    “Love” Buck whispers to the sky. Because that’s what this has been all these years. Love. From the very moment he laid eyes on Eddie in that locker room. Buck loves Eddie. Of course he loves Eddie, he loves all of his friends. But Eddie’s love feels different from Hen or Chimney’s love.

    “I don’t have to have feelings for everyone I sleep with.”

    Feelings, that’s what he had. Buck hand feelings for Eddie. Love feelings.

    Buck was so stupid. He practically admitted he was in love with Eddie with that statement alone.

    Woah, in love? Now that was a thought. Bucks stomach did a somersault.

    “In love with Eddie?”
    “I mean would it be so crazy?”

    Another memory floods Bucks brain of the conversation he had with his sister after his ex accused Edie of being the companion and living in the competitions house. How all of his past relationships probably saw Eddie as just that. Competition

    ————

    OR the one where Buck figures out he has feelings for his best friend, Buck and Eddie go to Nashville, and they figure some stuff out. Not particularly in that order.

    Summary

    Evan Buckley has the worst luck. He knows it. His team knows it. Maddie dealt with it his entire upbringing. It’s become a simple fact of life. The sky is blue, grass is green, and Evan Buckley has god-awful luck. If a crushed leg (due to toppled fire truck), a pulmonary embolism at the ripe age of 27, being caught in a tsunami with his best friend’s son, and an honest to god lightning strike weren’t enough proof of the matter, stepping on a bomb is all the confirmation he really didn’t need.

    Edmundo Diaz has faced far too much death in his lifetime to be afraid of it. In fact, he’s spent most of his life staring down the barrel of a gun, metaphorically and physically. Quite honestly, Santa Muerte himself could appear before Eddie’s very eyes and he would just count it as another Tuesday. So being in close proximity to a live explosive? Not even the worst thing he’s had to deal with in recent years. Really, not even the worst thing he's had to deal with this week. But his best friend standing on the trigger? Eddie’s never been afraid of death. Until he found himself standing between it and his best friend.

    Summary

    Sometimes, Buck feels lost, overwhelmed, and a little lonely. He's trying to reach out, learn how to accept everyone's love, but dying for three minutes and seventeen seconds isn't something one gets over easily.

    Luckily for him, a stranger is arrogant enough to take matters into their own hands. They're lucky everything turns out okay.

    Or, a magic handler decides age regressing Buck and letting him be raised by those who love him is how he'll truly feel seen.
