Summary
When “Stark's Ink Parlor” owner Evan "Buck" Buckley first moved to Los Angeles several years ago, he brought with him a singular ambition—to establish his own unique tattoo parlor in a city already teeming with such establishments. Despite the fierce competition, Buck’s artistry swiftly gained traction, thanks in part to the glowing endorsements of his satisfied clientele. He skillfully manages the ins and outs of his thriving tattoo business while also devoting his time to supporting his sister Maddie by assisting her flower shop and at her booth on Saturdays at the bustling local farmer's market.
One day, Eddie Diaz, a defenseman for the Los Angeles Kings hockey team, unexpectedly strolls into Buck's tattoo parlor. Little did Buck realize that this fateful meeting would significantly alter the course of both their lives.

Summary
One thing he learned in his therapy over the past year and half was that it was okay for him to stand up for himself. He doesn't deserve to be pushed aside, the punching bag or the butt of jokes. It's okay to ask for things himself, like help with furthering his career within the LAFD. Amazingly enough, the brass understood why he filed that lawsuit, after hearing everything that was happening.
Buck addresses the elephant in the room, and does not sweep the punch under the rug. Buck knows it wasn't his fault, then why do the rest of his family think it is?
Here for some real truths, hugs, and knowing you need therapy.

Summary
“Hey,” Buck says warmly into the phone, tucking it between his shoulder and ear with a smile at his lips.
“Fuck,” Eddie muttered harshly into the phone, his voice rough through the receiver.
“Eddie?” Buck called out, frowning. He lowered his phone from his ear to check the call, and yeah, still connected, full reception. He raises it back to his ear and catches the tail end of a noise, a choked-out groan. “Are you okay?”
“Buck,” Eddie panted, his breath coming out in heavy exhales. “Buck –”
Grabbing his keys, Buck makes it to the loft door, jacket half on when he stops dead in his tracks, phone still pressed to the side of his head as he hears Eddie in his ear.
“Yes, Buck, yes, yes, please, yes –”
***
Or, Eddie accidentally, sort of, maybe has phone sex with Buck for roughly five seconds, and Buck spirals about it until Eddie finally ends up in his lap.
