Summary
“I don’t know why you’re even here!” Eddie yells, voice just as loud, ringing—echoing in the nothingness of the once-home. “Just go back, okay?!” he adds, volume staying the same, stability rapidly decreasing, his eyes welling up in the moonlight pouring in through the window. “Alright? To her, or him, or both—and I’ll call you from the road, and I’ll say goodbye, and I’ll be back in El Paso, and…” If Eddie has more to say, it’s swallowed by the rapid way in which he’s breathing as he sinks back against the kitchen counter, the anger melting off of Buck’s shoulders as he carefully starts to approach him.

Summary
“Yeah,” Eddie says, and the darkness behind his eyelids takes on a white edge. “Be good. Nice to be married,” he yanks on Buck’s t-shirt, “best friend.”
Finally, Buck takes a breath that sounds off somehow, but he laughs too, and that sounds normal, Eddie thinks. A normal laugh.
“Sure, Eds,” he says, and there’s his hand in Eddie’s hair again, a puff of breath on the crown of Eddie’s head like Buck leaned in to press a kiss there and then stopped, but why would he stop—“I’ll marry you if you remind me tomorrow.”
or the one in which joking about being married to your best friend is all fun and games, right up until you realize that you're not laughing.
