think I know where you belong (think I know it’s with me)

Buck recently figured out he’s bisexual and started his first relationship with a man.
The only problem is Eddie seems to hate his boyfriend.

(or: a buckfidelity buddie smau)

Notes:

This is another fic/social media AU I originally shared about a year ago on twitter, and I am so excited to finally bring it here and give it a more permanent home.
As usual, thanks to all my friends for the general words of encouragement and not getting angry at me for doing this instead of writing something new (except Blue who did get angry at me for doing this instead of writing something new) <3 🥰

A few disclaimers just in case:
• This work uses a custom work skin, it could clash with any site skins you might be using, so if you don't wanna change your ao3 site skin or any other settings you would have to open this in some sort of private browser. It is my personal headcanon that some of these characters would be using light mode on their phone, but for the sake of comfort and accessibility I decided to make this whole thing dark mode.
• Also, since it's a custom skin, please do not click the "Hide Creator's Style" button or it'll fully break. Sadly, this also means it's not downloadable :(
• The coding for this work should work fine on both pc and mobile, but I'm only human. If you find any big mistakes that make something unreadable feel free to reach out to me with a screenshot and some information about your device on twitter.
• As with any smau, characters probably will be slightly ooc—which is like half the fun.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Not gonna lie, it was a little bit torture not to text you at midnight

But worth it for your face when you saw it

buck

lmao yeah, i was a little scared no one remembered

eddie

Well, I'm sorry we scared you but it was all for a good cause

buck

no yeah i loved it ❤️

Anyway, what did Tommy do for your birthday?

Only safe for work answers, please

buck

Then he should've remembered, isn't he supposed to be your boyfriend??

buck
