Buck heard a faint knock on his door.

"Coming!" He shouted, a smirk forming on his lips as he opened the door. "Hey daddy-" He started, his words trailing off as his gaze shifted past Eddie, landing on the figure standing beside him.

It was Christopher, wearing a wide smile as he held onto his dads hand. The sight took Buck by surprise, catching him off guard in the midst of his comment. He looked up at Eddie who had a dear in headlights expression on his face.

"Hi Buck!" Christopher beamed up at him, his excitement evident as he greeted him with a hug on his leg.

"Hey buddy!" he placed a hand on Christopher's back, all while looking into Eddie's eyes, mouthing a little 'sorry' from his comment.

"We're revisiting that later," whispered Eddie, a small smirk forming before it faded into a smile seeing Christopher hug Buck.

"Sorry about this, Carla had a last minute emergency and Christopher wouldn't dare let me cancel plans with his Buck. He insisted that we come." Eddie's smile only widened, making Buck smile even more.

Buck crouched down to Christopher's level. "No problem at all, buddy," he replied, "I'd love to hang out with you."

Christopher's face lit up. "Yay! Let's play superheroes!" he exclaimed, tugging excitedly on Buck's hand.

Buck chuckled, ruffling Christopher's hair affectionately. "Sounds like a plan, buddy," he said, "Why don't you go set up the playstation, dad and I will be over in a second."

"Ok!" Christopher nodded as he headed to the living room.

Buck straightened up, his gaze returning to Eddie as he leaned against the doorframe with a playful glint in his eye. "Well, well, well," he teased, his voice low and suggestive. "Looks like you've got some competition for my attention tonight."

Eddie licked his lips and then bit down on his lower lip. Initially, it was meant to be in a sexual way, his expression holding a hint of arousal. But then it transformed into a frown, catching Buck's attention. Buck's teasing demeanor softened into concern. He straightened up, his playful tone replaced by genuine worry.

"Eddie, what's wrong?" he asked, stepping closer to him, his eyes searching Eddie's face for any sign of distress.

Eddie sighed, running a hand through his hair as he tried to gather his thoughts. "It's just..." he began, his voice trailing off as he struggled to find the right words.

Buck waited patiently, giving Eddie the space to collect his thoughts. He could sense that whatever was bothering him was weighing heavily on his mind, and he wanted to be there for him however he could. Because he's a good friend, right?

Finally, Eddie met Buck's gaze, his eyes filled with uncertainty. "I'm sorry, Buck," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. "I was really looking forward to spending the night with you, but now with Christopher here... I mean we can't really, you know.." he looked down at Buck's crotch and motioned between them.

Buck gave a soft laugh as he reached out to gently squeeze Eddie's shoulder. "Hey, it's okay," he reassured him, his voice gentle and understanding. "We can always reschedule. Christopher won't be here forever."

Eddie gave a weak smile. That didn't satisfy Buck.

"Eddie look at me."

He did as Buck said, meeting the man's eyes.

"I don't just want you for sex. You're still my best friend, and spending time with you and Christopher has always been really important to me. I cherish it, I cherish you Eds."

Eddie smiled for real this time, looking down at Buck's lips. He felt his heart flutter in his chest at Buck's words, a sensation that both thrilled and terrified him. He couldn't deny the warmth that spread through him at Buck's declaration, but at the same time, he couldn't help but worry that maybe he was starting to develop feelings for his friend. Maybe they were there all along.

No, Eddie. This isn't happening, Buck is off limits, it would be too complicated.

He pushed his thoughts aside and looked back up at Buck.

"You're my best friend too," Eddie replied softly, his voice tinged with a mixture of emotions. "And spending time with you and Christopher means the world to me."

"Then it's settled," Buck said, his voice steady and sure. "We'll make the most of tonight, and we'll figure out our 'revisiting' plans another time."

Eddie nodded, a sense of relief flooding through him at Buck's understanding and acceptance.

The two made their way into the living room, settling in on each side of Christopher. The kid excitedly began to recount his day at school, his words tumbling out in a rush as he regaled them with tales of playground adventures and classroom shenanigans. Buck listened attentively, his heart swelling with pride at the sight of his enthusiasm.

Eddie watched them with a fond smile, his heart warm. Despite Buck's initial disappointment at the change in plans, he found himself enjoying the simple pleasure of spending time with Eddie and Christopher, the warmth of their shared laughter filling the room.

As the evening wore on, they played video games and shared stories, the hours slipping away in a blur of laughter and joy. Both Buck and Eddie couldn't help but feel grateful for this unexpected night, and honestly the memory of their plans to get laid had completely faded to the background.

This felt like everything Eddie ever needed. Little did he know, Buck felt the exact same way.
