"Were we dating?" [Buck] asked. "When we lived together?"

Albert's eyebrows shot up his forehead, handsome face—handsome!—screwed up. "I don't know, were we?"

The bar sounds fade away. It was just him and Albert left at their table; Hen and Karen left an hour ago, Eddie not long after. Ravi had dipped as soon as Hen had and Chimney and Maddie'd finally pulled themselves away about fifteen minutes ago. It was just Albert and Buck and suddenly it was very intimate.

Buck reached for his beer just to have something to do with his hands. Part of him wanted to kiss Albert just to see what he'd do.

Buck admitted, "kind of," while ducking his head sheepishly.

Albert nodded. He reached for his drink too. Just two guys drinking their beers, but Albert's body was angled towards Buck in a way that felt…open.

And. Well. Buck knew what to do with that.

“Albert? Albert as in Howie’s brother, who is staying with us for a month? That Albert? Evan.”

“I mean, if we weren’t dating, I definitely had a crush on him. He was living with me! God, I’m such a stupid bi”, Evan was now sitting, blankets around his waist, head in his hands.

Tommy is… unsure how to react to all this.

“Well, I mean….he looks pretty cute from those photos you showed me of him and Jee - injuries aside”, Tommy gives his head a little pat pat. Poor thing.

“Oh my god the car crash! I was INSANE!” Evan is now rocking slightly.

Prompt: And they were roommates

Summary: There’s many things Albert loves about America. The bars, the food, his brother, his brother’s girlfriend. Most importantly. What he’s beginning to love most about America is his brother’s girlfriend’s brother.

(sneak peek)

There’s many things Albert loves about America.

The bars, the food, his brother, his brother’s girlfriend. 

Most importantly. 

What he’s beginning to love most about America is his brother’s girlfriend’s brother. 

Buck has a certain charm about him. He’s loud and playful but also anxious and shy. The man is so tall he is now what Albert imagines when he thinks of the word ‘lumbering’ yet he acts so small and almost fragile that Albert can help but find him adorable. 

Howie says they call him a golden retriever and Albert can’t deny he sees the resemblance. 

Buck is excitable and loving and generous and kind. 

Albert is a fool with a crush the size of Busan. 

Buck is blissfully ignorant. 

He thinks.
