Summary
Eddie can’t move. Like this, Buck is illuminated by the sunlight streaming through the window; dust motes shimmering around his head, his hair haloed in gold. Beautiful, Eddie thinks. And to his surprise, he doesn’t feel any sort of guilt about doing so.
Except — he should. Because Buck is dating Tommy, and he’s happy, and Eddie would rather go to his grave repressed and miserable than ever take away from Buck’s happiness.
Or: Eddie starts to untangle his complicated feelings about himself, and Buck. Mainly Buck.

Summary
Maddie has her forehead against her hands, which are clasped in what looks to be prayer. “Okay, so – hang on, so Eddie’s gay?”
“Yeah.” Buck can’t believe they’re doing this again.
“And he told you he was in love with you.”
“Right,” Buck says.
“And you…” Maddie peeks up at him. “You’re in love with him?”
“Absolutely.”
Maddie draws in a long breath, and she splits her hands to pillow her face. “But you turned him down and told him you wanted to wingman for him instead?”
OR
Eddie confesses. Buck handles it poorly.

Summary
“Can you open your eyes?”
“No. I can’t look at you.”
“Because I’m gay?”
Buck sighs dramatically.
“Because you’re pretty. And because you’re gay. Because you’re gay and pretty.”
“Buck,” Eddie laughs. “Open your eyes.”
Or, Eddie comes out to Buck. Buck panics. Hijinks ensue.

Summary
Buck remembers how proud he was about all of his software updates. 2.0, 3.0. Maybe if he shed 100 skins and improved himself enough, 3.0 to infinity, someone could take a look at him and find something worth keeping. Because that’s what he kept telling himself: nobody is ever gonna want you enough to keep you.
But Eddie had kept him. He’s keeping him, still, he just has to go.
Eddie is moving to Texas. Buck finally figures out what he wants.
