Fics like so bourgeoisie to keep waiting

He’s not stupid. It took him some time — years — but Eddie’s half certain that, should his patience snap one day, should he lean in across the way one night when it’s just the two of them, should he palm at Buck’s jaw to bring his face closer and kiss him on the mouth, Buck would kiss him back. That’s not the problem. The problem is that Eddie’s gonna ruin it. He’s ruined every other romantic relationship in his life. If it happens with Buck, Eddie knows neither of them will come back from it. These days, he’s content with having Buck the way he does now. He may succumb to weakness, sometimes, like he just did in the kitchen, holding Buck like that, but Eddie’s willpower is the stuff of legend. He’s happy with his place in Buck’s life. He can play the part of codependent best friend, dad who stepped up, platonic soulmate. The main issue here, really, hindsight twenty-twenty and all, is that Eddie really misses being a husband. or: five times eddie, willing and knowing, acts like buck's husband, and one time he. well. you can guess where this is going.
