THE DIAZ BOYSSS. IM SO HAPPYYYY

i just know instinctively eddie gives the best hugs like do you think buck tucks his head under eddie’s chin when he’s feeling sad bc buck’s such a big, broad person but with eddie he knows he can feel small and vulnerable and eddie presses his lips to buck’s temple and writes ‘i love yous’ on his back with his fingers and maybe if buck’s worked up eddie’ll sing quietly to him

four kisses

the first time they kiss is when chris and eddie have had a fight, and eddie’s in the kitchen upset and spiralling and doubting himself, and buck reassures him and comforts him and promises that he’s not going anywhere. it’s small, it’s quick, barely noticeable among buck’s words and the way he has their foreheads pressed together, but it warms eddie to his core.

they don’t talk about it.

maybe it’s for the best — maybe they’re not ready, but it’s okay because christopher comes out and he and eddie apologise to each other and eddie still has his family. he still has his son in his arms, and he still has buck, with fond glances and soft touches and seamless partnership and his friendship.

(if his gaze lingers sometimes, if every time he touches buck he wants to grab on and never let go, well. he’ll tell buck one day. 

he’s just not ready yet.)
