buck’s shoe collection

wdym buck said "you're wearing a chastity belt of your own" out loud. to eddie. eddie who has lived his life in service while denying himself joy, catholic guilt eddie who is still alive down there, catholic guilt eddie who is keeping an open mind, who is leaving room for the unknown (but ABIGAIL HAPPENED, abigail who was "led astray" and locked in a CLOSET in a BASEMENT for straying from her faith), catholic guilt eddie who is looking for god's presence love ("what is love if not a sign of god's presence?) in the wrong place?

eddie diaz who won't look at a single woman in the club--he hasn't in over a yEAR--but WILL look to his 9 o'clock (you know, where buck is standing?), but who WILL look at a man who's checking him out?

wdym buck said the words "you're punishing yourself, eddie, and i think some part of you enjoys it" to EDDIE DIAZ who WILL be gay?!

well.

can you blow my whistle, baby?

whistle by flo rida ✨ (buck’s version) ✨

it’s perfectly normal and straight to be magnetically attached to your new work bestie while you explain that the reason you turned down those conventionally attractive women is because

they’re not your type!

because you’re gay and your type is men, your type is buck buckley, my guy

and I mean, thank goodness for super normal and understanding and supportive bros who are there to reassure you that

those women aren’t his type either, not anymore!

not anymore now that you’re here

just straight bro besties not being into those or any, if your name is edmundo diaz, ballroom dancer boy scout women, looking at each other normally and walking at a super normal distance

so straight. not in love.

that would be so crazy.

a lil snippet from my current wip:

- Eddie knows he loves Buck

- Buck does not know

-Everyone else knows that Buck doesn’t know that Eddie knows and they’re very tired

- how is Eddie supposed to be normal about this hot tub when Buck looks like that?

-thank goodness Eddie doesn’t accidentally send a text to the wrong chat

These are just snippets; there’s more in between these scenes but. Why spoil the whole thing.

Lmk if you want to be tagged when it’s finished!
