Inspiration Saturday 🖤

Tagged by @daffi-990 for today and @thekristen999 @loveyouanyway @wildlife4life for Friday (tagging you back if you haven’t already for today)

I’m in my post publishing do what I want era. So have a new little something inspired by a devastating cocktail of T Swift and TSoA 😘

“I’m with Patroclus,” Eddie says, interrupting Buck’s meandering thoughts. “No matter what happens, I would know it was you.”

Buck sets his book down and reaches for Eddie’s hand, threading their fingers together. “Oh, yeah? What if I like, get splashed by acid and become horribly disfigured?”

“Is that going to be your villain origin story?”

“Maybe.” Buck shrugs playfully.

“Even then,” Eddie insists, kissing their linked hands. “We’ve been through too much shit for me to not know you.”

“It would be the same for me, too, Eds. I’d recognize you anywhere. In any condition, in any universe.”

“You better. I’ll haunt you for eternity.”

Buck pinches Eddie’s side. “Thought you didn’t believe in that stuff.”

“For you, mi amor, I’ll make an exception. I, Eddie Diaz, do hereby promise to haunt one Evan Buckley for eternity should he fail to recognize me anywhere, in any condition, in any universe.” He pulls Buck down for a kiss, managing as best they can with the awkward angle. “Deal?”

Buck rolls his eyes fondly and brushes their lips together again. “Deal.”

“Buck?”

He startles awake at the sound of Bobby’s voice, wincing at the crick in his neck. When did he fall asleep?

“How long have you been here, kid?”

“I, uh, haven’t been home yet,” Buck answers sheepishly. He scrubs a hand through his hair, then down his cheek and over the bristly stubble starting to fill in already.

Bobby sends him a knowing look instead of giving him a lecture on how he promised to get some proper rest.

“How is he?” Bobby asks softly, his gaze drifting towards the hospital bed.
