Fics like feelings, in bulk

Finally, Eddie looks at him. Then at the cans. Then at Buck again. He looks nervous, his throat bobbing around a big swallow, like he’s about to give a speech. There’s no reason for him to give a speech. They’re in a Costco. “I think I love you.” Oh. Well that’s not what Buck was expecting. He stands there holding six — no, wait, he grabbed more than six, he’s holding at least eight cans of Kirkland Signature crushed tomato at this point. There’s so much tomato. Buck blinks. Weird timing, he thinks, but he’ll take it. That’s a nice thing to say, that’s — yeah. That’s nice. They’re best friends. That’s — sure. Okay. Weird, but sure. Buck smiles, moving to pat Eddie on the shoulder before he remembers all the sauce. “Thanks, man. Love you, too.” “No,” Eddie says. Buck blinks. Eddie blinks back. “No, I mean—” Eddie is looking at the shelf, at the floor, at a point on Buck’s chin. “I mean, I think I’m in love with you.” Buck’s face is hot. His arms are full of cans. “I don’t think we need this much sauce,” he whispers. Or, One Costco trip. One love confession. So many fucking tomatoes.
