Summary
After everything Buck and Eddie have gone through together, the marriage that was once just convenience is now real. They’re boyfriend-husbands, trying to figure out what their life looks like now that they’re dating and learning to be an actual couple.
However, trouble arises with the promised trip back home to El Paso for the summer. Eddie is not ready to come out to his parents and Buck supports him in that.

Summary
So even though Buck was expecting it to happen any day now, saw it coming from a mile away if he was being completely honest, he was still taken aback when a few days before they were due to leave for their vacation, Eddie said over their early morning coffee, point blank, "I want you to fuck me."
He stared Buck down as if he’d just issued him a challenge and was daring him to refuse, standing strong despite his obvious embarrassment. As if there was ever even the slightest possibility of Buck refusing him anything.
OR, the one in which Buck is very well endowed and Eddie embraces his inner size queen

Summary
"Hear me out," Buck said. "Clearly, both of us are sick of dating other people. And we're a good fit, in pretty much every way that matters. So what if we're not in love? We don't need to be in love to be happy together."
Eddie frowned. "So basically, we'd be boyfriends, without benefits?"
"Yes!" Buck snapped his fingers. "Like platonic boyfriends! We'd get all the benefits of a relationship and none of the heartbreak."
And maybe Eddie had finally lost his mind, or maybe it was from all the alcohol clouding his judgment, but the idea of it didn't sound half as crazy as it should have.
***
After Buck’s and Eddie’s dates both end with disasters – proving once again that maybe dating just wasn’t meant for them – they decide to simply settle for each other. If there was one person in the world they'd ever trust with their hearts, it was each other. And who was a better person to date other than your very own best friend?Series
