    Summary

    “This is the most thought that anyone, of all time, ever, has put into adjusting a driver’s seat, Eddie.”

    “Buck—”

    “I’m serious. That rearview mirror has lived through so many angles and lives in the past six minutes that it’s about to start recounting its first-hand experience on the Titanic.”

    Just for that, Eddie reaches up between them and tweaks the mirror again. A ray of sunlight hits it and bounces across Buck’s eyeline. Buck’s face scrunches up as he rushes to shield his forehead with one hand. It does not remind Eddie whatsoever of a small, bashful dog hiding behind its soft paw, because that would be deranged. He twists the mirror back into position.

    “The Titanic probably would have gotten us to Nashville better than this truck.”

    Buck’s indignant squawk rings out in time with the turnover of the engine as Eddie hits the ignition.

    Summary

    Dragging a hand down his face, Eddie says, “It was thirty seconds.” 

    “Of betrayal,” Buck says darkly. 

    A laugh bursts out of Eddie. “You’re–” 

    “I’m what?” Buck advances on him before stopping abruptly in the middle of the room. Behind him, the curry they’d been working on sizzles, oil burning. Neither of them does anything about it. “I’m right?”

    “Jumping to conclusions,” Eddie grits out. He hates being cornered like this. “Like you always do.”

    “Oh, okay,” Buck says, too brightly. “Same way you keep jumping through hoops to avoid saying anything you actually want to fucking say?” 

    Buck’s not being fair. None of this is fair. It’s not right, it’s not–

    “Fuck you,” Eddie snaps.

    OR: Buck and Eddie argue after Buck hooks up with a married couple.

    Summary

    “Oh,” Eddie yells after him, tone almost mocking. “So that’s it? You’re just going to walk away?”

    Buck stops, biting down on his cheek. He knows, distantly, that they’re making a scene. That everyone who isn’t actively putting what’s left of the fire out can see and hear everything they’re saying. He sighs. “I don’t know why you’re so pissed,” he mutters, twisting back around to face him just in time to see Eddie’s eyebrows rise high up on his forehead.

    “You don’t know why I’m pissed?” Eddie asks, stepping towards him.

    Shit. He needs to walk away before this blows up. They’re one throw away comment from explosion.

    Buck whips back around, taking a step towards the engine and away from Eddie. “That’s what I said,” he calls over his shoulder. Which—maybe, isn’t the thing to say to cool things down.

    But—

    “I’m pissed,” Eddie shouts back, voice frayed and desperate, “Because I fucking love you.”

    --

    Or, loud so everyone can hear.
