Buck and Eddie barely know each other, but a week after their first meeting, they're already finding themselves tangled in a mess of emotions neither of them expected. Eddie's trying to keep his boxing a secret, dealing with the stress of Christopher's challenges and Buck's constant presence, which he can't seem to shake. Buck, on the other hand, can't help but push through Eddie's walls, even if Eddie wishes he'd stop.
With Eddie trying to keep everything under control and Buck being, well, Buck, sparks fly and tensions run high as they both navigate the mess of their growing connection. But sometimes, the hardest relationships are the ones that make you feel the most alive.
Originally on ao3 but due to popular demand, I've began posting here too.
They were in a happy, blissful bubble. Even Eddie's parents had accepted Buck after weeks of questioning Eddie. First time they'd seen Buck expertly handle Christopher during one of his teenage tantrums, they knew Buck was good for them.
So that's why when Eddie came home to find Buck packing with tears in his eyes, he was completely blindsided.
