    Summary

    “Alright,” Eddie shrugs, laissez-faire. He pulls Buck’s plate to the center of the table; pushes his own forward in kind. Then he begins a drawn-out circus routine of plucking an olive at a time up and out of the bowl and plopping them onto their respective dishes, one by one.

    The delicate, repetitive movement of Eddie’s pinched fingers reminds Buck of picking the petals off of flowers. He loves me. He loves me not. He love—

    An olive hits him square in the forehead.

    “There,” Eddie says, resolute, as the pitted projectile tumbles to the ground at Buck’s feet. “Equal treatment.”

    Or: Buck, Eddie, and the olive theory. Well, in theory.

    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

    “I know I wasn’t a good parent, emotionally. But I wasn’t as bad as him, though, Buck, please - I didn’t drink or hurt either of you -”

    Philip’s expression is shocked, like he never considered what responsibility he had for what Maddie went through. It makes Buck feel a familiar roiling anger in his gut.

    “No, you just drove her to someone who did!” He stares at his father, furiously. Then, he’s just tired, suddenly. “And I hurt myself for you.”

    ***

    In the wake of the events of Nashville and Buck's detoxing, Philip Buckley sets out to do something that's been harder every year he hasn't done it: actually try to understand his son, and explain how he became the person he was, and maybe gain some calvary in the shadow of his's son's better, now-departed father figure.

    Summary

    Eddie hits his shoulder harder this time. "That's it!"

    "What is?" Buck repeats his question from before, rubbing his shoulder like the movement hurt him —it didn't, Eddie is sure.

    "You'll go with me! Like, you can act like you're my couple".

    Buck looks at him, untethered before cracking the loudest laugh of the night.

    "What's so funny?" Eddie asks with a half-showing smile as Buck keeps laughing and although he didn't mean to, he's happy to see him joyful again.

    "Oh, you're being serious". He stops laughing slowly, shaking his head, showing that he's not really believing anything that his friend says. "What do you want us to do? To pretend we're together like in some teenage romcom?"

    OR

    Eddie has an empty plus one for a destination wedding. Not wanting to meet his entire family by himself and being setted up, Buck and he make a deal: Buck can pretend to be his boyfriend and he would help him to get his happy ending after.
    Eddie doesn't expect how loud his mind gets when he's alone with Buck, in a nice beach, while the lines of their friendship are blurred.
