Summary
Once Buck opens the door to the intruder of his date, he finds that it is no intruder at all. This boy has never once intruded anything. He’s as welcome here as though he’s a resident in the loft and not just inside the crevice of Buck’s heart.
“Christopher,” he breathes out, peeking his head out of the door to scan the hallway. “Are you alone?”
Chris doesn't answer at first. Buck takes the boy in, feeling an odd sense of deja vu. Notices that the inches he’s grown since he’d last turned up on his doorstep like this have nothing on the young, pained look on his face. If Buck squinted, he could pass for the same ten-year-old who’d run to him all those years ago after shattering a salad bowl.
But the face he bears now… A salad bowl isn’t going to cut it.
____
OR Christopher runs to Buck after facing his mom’s lookalike and his dad’s betrayal.

Summary
“You were drunk. I know it didn’t mean anything. Everything’s alright.”
Buck visibly winces. “That’s not — Eddie.”
There’s a suspended moment where Buck looks torn, standing on the edge of something, eyes fixed on the horizon to avoid looking at the drop, the precipitous canyon below. But then Buck, who can’t lie, who would tear his own chest open to a complete stranger on the street because the truth of him spills so loudly out of every jagged edge, sighs out:
“It meant something.”
There’s a ringing sound somewhere in the distance, getting closer. “What are you…” Eddie trails off.
“I wasn’t — well, I was drunk. But that wasn’t what. Wasn’t why. Not entirely, or — god.” Buck shudders in a breath, steeling himself. “I have feelings for you.” He closes his eyes. “I’m so sorry.”
~
Buck confesses his feelings. Eddie’s straight. If he spends all his time thinking about Buck and looking at Buck and wanting to be around Buck, well, that’s just being a good friend, isn’t it? He’s being so normal about this, actually.

Summary
Patrick likes to compare himself to uncut gems, the ones that haven’t been molded or modified yet, the ones whose rough edges have yet to be smoothed out. The difference between them lies in the fact that the gems get polished and primed to perfection, to the best that they can be.
Meanwhile, Patrick, no matter how hard he tries, can’t get himself to that final point where everything is right. So instead, he focuses on perfecting his work. Because even if he can’t smooth out the rough edges of his life, he can smooth out the edges of a stone.
...
When David's necklace breaks, he goes to a local jeweler in Elmdale named Patrick for help.
