They'd been unloading and unpacking Buck's belongings for several hours when Tommy flops down on the couch and pulls out his phone. 

"I'm starving. Want to order from that pizza place we love?"

We. Tommy says it as casually as he'd said 'our kitchen' and 'our garage' as he moved things out of the way and gave Buck his own spaces alongside his. Buck's tongue sticks to the roof of his dry mouth and all he can manage is an affirmative hum.

"What are you in the mood for? Veggie or supreme?"

Buck couldn't care less about pizza toppings. He opens his mouth—a reflexive 'you choose' on the tip of his tongue—before clamping his lips shut in fear of something else coming out. He knows he should be grateful—he is grateful—that he has somewhere affordable and safe to live while he looks for a permanent home. 

But the ease in which Tommy invited Buck to live in his house—the effort he's put in to make sure he's comfortable and at home—pours salt into the wound that never healed. That Buck is allowed to have this now—now that they're ex-boyfriends, now that they're some facsimile of friends—feels like rejection all over again. 

Tommy looks up from his phone and frowns. "Evan?"

Buck clears his throat and turns back to the box of books he'd been unpacking. "Whatever you want."

Six Sentence Sunday

Still from the eddie pov. Please don't ask how much I have left.

“And you think your best friend is, what, putting thoughts in your kid’s head?” Donna asked with an uncalled amount of judgment for someone who ended up with a fractured pelvis because she couldn’t say no to her wife.

“No,” Eddie said.  “Maybe.  I don’t know.  He’s been weird lately.  I’m pretty sure he’s hooking up with Tommy again.”

“Ex-boyfriend,” Hen said before Donna could ask.  “First boyfriend, too.”

Donna sucked air through her teeth.  “First gay breakup is rough.  I’m guessing he’s a later in life coming out.  I also came out late in life.”  To Eddie, she said in a conspiratorial stage whisper, “Compulsory heterosexuality is a hell of a drug.”

“Oh, I’m actually straight,” he said, leaning back.

She gave his arm a single consoling pat.  “Oh, honey, trust me, we can tell.”

By the Hen’s shoulders shook with silent laughter, Eddie figured he’d just been insulted.
