there was still plenty of cake left, buck cutting two pieces for them while making small conversation with maddie who was stealing a second piece for herself and jee to share.
he quickly joined eddie back on the couch, handing over the slightly bigger piece, “here baby.”
eddie slowly let him go. after refilling buck’s cup and grabbing one of his own, he took a seat on the couch.
after taking a sip of his drink, he pouted at it. he should’ve gotten more.
buck lets him take the cup, a fair trade he would say, nodding, “sounds like a deal to me.” he states, begrudgingly pulling away from eddie’s touch to head towards the cake table
bucks eyebrows lift, shaking his head, “i have not,” he perks up a bit though, “i can grab us each a slice?” he offers, already glancing towards where the cake would be
“okay, baby.” there were a lot of people, but it was a birthday party for a baby. nothing was too crazy.
he swung their hands a little, taking a look around. “oh— have you had cake yet? i was waiting for you.”
buck softly shakes his head, leaning into eddie. “it’s okay,” he hums out, “i can stick it out.”
at least a little. he would love to shower before going to bed tonight and such
eddie brought his other hand up, rubbing buck’s arm. “do you wanna leave early?” he doubted buck would say yes, but he wanted him to have the option anyway.
buck smiled softly, he’s okay, kind of tired though, it’s been a long day. “i’m alright,” he takes a sip of his soda, letting out a breath.
“little tired but, other than that.”
eddie gently took his hand, intertwining their fingers. “i am.” he stole a quick kiss, earning himself a groan from chris.
after shooing chris over to denny, he squeezed buck’s hand. “and you’re feeling okay?”
he stole a glance at buck before standing properly, playfully throwing the balloon back in chris’s direction.
“hey, cariño—“ he walked in front of him, giving him a quick scan. “havin’ fun?”
