Summary
“I’m fine, Buck.” He’s not, but he’s better than Buck, mentally and physically, probably. “But I might take you up on the guest room. I don’t know if I can even make it home tonight.” He could. He’s not that tired, and he’s used to driving home right after a shift.
It’s just the idea of going home alone, of leaving Buck alone, it doesn’t feel right, not tonight.
or; Buck and Eddie make it home.

Summary
Buck does a good job of masking his panic, even when he hears the gunshots. It’s been years since Eddie’s shooting, and Eddie is fine. He’s here and he’s fine, and everything is fine. But until he sees Eddie coming out of that grocery store, there’s a small part of him that wonders if he’s going to come out at all.
He does. He comes out, and he’s fine and alive and not bleeding. He’s fine.

Summary
Buck rests back against the couch and looks up at the ceiling. He kind of misses when he’d spend most of his time here. It’s been years; before Bobby died, Eddie moved, Chris left for Texas. Before Tommy. Before Marisol and Natalia. Before the lightning strike that killed him.
Maybe that was really when everything started to change. Buck hasn’t really been able to keep up because since then it feels like everything has changed so rapidly and irrevocably that his head just spins with it.
There was a time when the Diaz home felt like it was his home, and that’s just not true anymore. He wishes that wasn’t true.

Summary
By the time Buck is thirty-one, he’s one of the most popular players in the entire NHL. He’s taken his team to the playoffs almost every year, and they’ve even made the Western Conference Finals a few times.
He knows he only has so many years left. He’s had some pretty rough injuries, and he’s had a string of failed relationships to go with them. He’s starting to come to terms with the fact that, actually, hockey isn’t just something he loves - it’s probably the love of his life. He’s trying to be fine with that fact.

Summary
There’s a soft sound coming from the living room, talking, or maybe the tv. It’s not Buck’s voice. The talking turns into something else, and Eddie forces himself to walk further into the house.
“Hey, Buck, I - “
Buck jumps out of his seat and fumbles with the remote to pause the television.
“Jesus Christ, Eddie. You scared the shit out of me.” Buck shakes his head. “What are you doing here?”
“Oh,” Eddie says. Maybe he was wrong about being welcome. “I was bored. I just thought I’d come see what you were doing. I guess I could have called first, but you said it’s fine to just - “
“No, no, of course it’s fine. It’s totally fine. What’s mine is yours’, right?” Buck says, a little too easily.
Eddie glances at the paused television and suddenly realizes why Buck was so scared when he came in. Naked men. There are naked men on the screen.
OR;
Buck and Eddie watch Heated Rivalry together. It makes some things click into place for Eddie.

Summary
“You have to look after Dad.”
Buck frowns, eyes snapping to Eddie like he’s mortally wounded and hiding it from him.
His dad laughs uncomfortably. “Chris. I thought you wanted to call Buck?”
“I did. For you.”
Or, everyone keeps dying. Christopher needs Buck to make sure that his dad doesn't die, too.

Summary
Eddie tells Buck nothing will change between the two of them, except it does.
He feels Buck quickly slipping away so he starts to steal pieces of him back. Literally.
Or, the one where Eddie has a couple of come to Jesus moments courtesy of Christopher and Tommy, a bit of an emotional breakdown, and a lot of feelings about Evan Buckley’s dentist appointments and where his socks belong.

Summary
Thinking of strong arms embracing him from behind. Amber eyes and a soft strand of hair falling over a forehead. A scar on the bottom lip and a tattoo wrapped around a forearm—Buck blows on the eyelash. It flies away in the wind.
Finally, he tears his eyes away from it. His stare meets Eddie’s again, whose grin still hasn’t diminished.
Buck stutters out, “Sorry,” and takes a small step away from him. Eddie still doesn’t budge.
“No, it's—” Eddie’s fingers brush over where Buck’s once were on his face. “Uh, what does it mean?”
“Hmm?”
“The eyelash. It must mean something,” Eddie says. “Apparently, everything has a hidden meaning now. Tell me about it.” His tone is soft, and Buck melts like putty in his hands.
OR: Buck becomes strangely and obsessively superstitious about all aspects of life to hide from the fact that he’s deeply in love with his straight best friend.
