writing a small story

On a cold and dreary afternoon in the small town of Milkweed in Tennessee a poster hangs blowing about roughly against the staples holding It upright. It’s a missing poster with a poorly printed photo of a young man. The description says that’s he’s 18 and that his name is Austen Dawn and the height saying 5’7. In the poster that looks like a 5-year-old took, a boy with a hazelnut hair color and freckles covering his face. He has glasses and crooked teeth, with pale skin that looks less human and more vampire.

The area in which the poster is hanging is not one that gets much foot traffic. To any other person who sees this poster they would assume that there are more hanging all around in attempts to find him. Unfortunately, this one desolate poster is the only one that remains of Austen Dawn. Forgotten to the world and most importantly unwanted by family.

Three weeks prior Austen was living a normal life. He was still a high schooler at this time, he was a senior in Julius High. At 5am the alarm on his phone rings loudly to the tune of Smokey mama. Austen’s favorite band. Austen would get dressed in a regular blue polo shirt and old worn jeans that had faded a considerable amount. He would comb his dense fluffy hair and put on one grey sock and a black one and his boots. By 6am he would make his breakfast and lunch for the day. Breakfast he made toast and sunny side up eggs. For lunch he made a toasted ham and cheese sandwich, grapes, and baby carrots. When 7am rolled around he was in school surrounded by his classmates.

As he walked down the hall passing classmates, teachers, and even his friend Oliver he would think it would be any other day. For all those people it would be the day they look back and regret not saying goodbye to him. Hed wave hi to the math Teacher Mr. Lindsy and PE teacher Mrs. Drew, Mrs. Drew nodding and the math teacher ignoring him. And as he sat down for the morning bell and announcements people would be talking in the back of the classroom about whatever new trend was on social media. Austen would sit alone in the middle of the classroom not talking to anyone. He was quiet and reserved, he didn’t know anyone in the class nor made any real effort into trying. They never returned the favor so it stayed like this. As classes passed and lunch came by Austen would go to the library to meet with Oliver.

Most weren’t allowed to eat in the library but the librarian Ms. Tubbson let it slide since she too was a loner in high school. Oliver and Austen ate lunch and they played magic the gathering together. Oliver claimed some of Austin’s baby carrots as his own much like how he claimed Greenbelt Radical from Austen. Oliver joked that he’d return the card to him after his match against his brother. Two days he was supposed to hold onto the card, but he has yet to return the card back to Austen. Lunch ended and Austen went to the rest of his classes, he was assigned 8 different pieces of homework. 2:30pm classes ended and Austen decided he wanted to go home and not hang out with Oliver that day. The weather at this time was partially sunny but rain clouds were on the horizon and fast approaching.

Making Memorable Events at Boise Venues with Drone Light Shows

When it comes to creating unforgettable experiences at events, the choice of entertainment plays a pivotal role. In Boise, a city celebrated for its vibrant cultural scene and stunning landscapes, drone light shows have emerged as a cutting-edge entertainment option that captivates and mesmerizes audiences. These aerial displays harness the power of technology and creativity to transform any event into a spectacle. Let's dive into how incorporating drone light shows at Boise venues can elevate your event from ordinary to extraordinary.

The Appeal of Drone Light Shows

Drone light shows are not just about adding a visual element to an event; they are about creating an immersive experience that engages attendees on multiple levels. Unlike traditional fireworks, drone light shows are environmentally friendly, less noisy, and can be programmed to synchronize with music, narratives, or branding themes, making them a versatile choice for a variety of events.

Why Boise is Perfect for Drone Shows

Boise's combination of clear skies, beautiful parks, and spacious outdoor venues makes it an ideal backdrop for drone light shows. The city's community-oriented spirit also means that events tend to attract large, enthusiastic crowds eager for unique entertainment experiences. From the Boise River Greenbelt to the spacious grounds of the Idaho Botanical Garden, there are numerous venues in Boise that are perfect for showcasing spectacular drone performances.

Tailoring Drone Shows to Your Event

1. Corporate Events: Enhance brand visibility and leave a lasting impression on clients and employees with a drone show designed around your company logo or corporate colors.

2. Weddings: Add a magical touch to your special day with a drone show that includes romantic elements like hearts or messages in the sky, making your celebration truly one-of-a-kind.

3. Festivals: Whether it's a music festival or a local cultural event, drone shows can be synchronized with performances to enhance the overall atmosphere and provide attendees with a multi-sensory experience.

4. Public Celebrations: For city-wide celebrations and holidays, drone shows can be themed to fit the occasion—be it Fourth of July stars and stripes, New Year’s Eve countdowns, or special commemorative displays.

Planning Your Drone Light Show in Boise

Choose the Right Provider: Partner with a reputable drone light show company that understands local regulations and has experience with Boise venues. This ensures a smooth, compliant, and safe performance.

Venue Considerations: Not all venues are suitable for drone shows. Choose a location that has enough open space to safely accommodate the drones’ flight path and the audience's viewing area.

Customization: Work closely with the drone show provider to customize the performance to your event's theme. This could involve selecting specific colors, patterns, or even integrating logos and words into the drone formations.

Technical Setup: Ensure there is adequate time for technical setup and rehearsals. This will help address any potential challenges before the event.

Making It Memorable

The success of a drone light show isn't just about the lights in the sky; it's also about how those moments make the audience feel. To maximize impact:

Capture the Moment: Encourage attendees to share their experiences on social media. Provide hashtags or interactive elements that can help spread the word about the event and your brand or cause.

Focus on the Finale: Often, the most memorable part of the drone show is the finale. Work with your provider to create a jaw-dropping final sequence that leaves a lasting impression.

Feedback and Follow-Up: After the event, gather feedback from attendees to gauge the show’s impact. This information can be invaluable for planning future events.

Conclusion

Drone light shows in Boise offer more than just entertainment; they provide a unique opportunity to create unforgettable moments that resonate with all who attend. By leveraging the technological marvels of drone choreography, event planners in Boise can deliver experiences that are not only visually stunning but also emotionally engaging. Whether it's a wedding, a corporate event, or a city festival, a drone light show can elevate your gathering into a mesmerizing celebration that will be talked about for years to come.

Hubble captures the start of a new spoke season at Saturn

Like Earth, Saturn is tilted on its axis and therefore has four seasons, though because of Saturn’s much larger orbit, each season lasts approximately seven Earth years. Equinox occurs when the rings are tilted edge-on to the Sun. The spokes disappear when it is near summer or winter solstice on Saturn. (When the Sun appears to reach either its highest or lowest latitude in the northern or southern hemisphere of a planet.) As the autumnal equinox of Saturn’s northern hemisphere on May 6, 2025, draws near, the spokes are expected to become increasingly prominent and observable. The suspected culprit for the spokes is the planet’s variable magnetic field. Planetary magnetic fields interact with the solar wind, creating an electrically charged environment (on Earth, when those charged particles hit the atmosphere this is visible in the northern hemisphere as the aurora borealis, or northern lights). Scientists think that the smallest, dust-sized icy ring particles can become charged as well, which temporarily levitates those particles above the rest of the larger icy particles and boulders in the rings. The ring spokes were first observed by NASA’s Voyager mission in the early 1980s. The transient, mysterious features can appear dark or light depending on the illumination and viewing angles. “Thanks to Hubble’s OPAL program, which is building an archive of data on the outer solar system planets, we will have longer dedicated time to study Saturn’s spokes this season than ever before,” said NASA senior planetary scientist Amy Simon, head of the Hubble Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) program. Saturn’s last equinox occurred in 2009, while NASA’s Cassini spacecraft was orbiting the gas giant planet for close-up reconnaissance. With Cassini’s mission completed in 2017, and the Voyager spacecrafts long gone, Hubble is continuing the work of long-term monitoring of changes on Saturn and the other outer planets. “Despite years of excellent observations by the Cassini mission, the precise beginning and duration of the spoke season is still unpredictable, rather like predicting the first storm during hurricane season,” Simon said. While our solar system’s other three gas giant planets also have ring systems, nothing compares to Saturn’s prominent rings, making them a laboratory for studying spoke phenomena. Whether spokes could or do occur at other ringed planets is currently unknown. “It’s a fascinating magic trick of nature we only see on Saturn — for now at least,” Simon said. Hubble’s OPAL program will add both visual and spectroscopic data, in wavelengths of light from ultraviolet to near-infrared, to the archive of Cassini observations. Scientists are anticipating putting these pieces together to get a more complete picture of the spoke phenomenon, and what it reveals about ring physics in general. The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and ESA. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the telescope. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore conducts Hubble science operations. STScI is operated for NASA by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, in Washington, D.C.

An Account of 5/21/22 - Long Post, don't reblog

I woke up at 7:45am on our 4 year anniversary and my boyfriend was acting kinda weird. He took the dog out for his morning potty break, which I always do, and acted dodgy when I asked what we should eat for breakfast. He told me to go hide in the bathroom for a minute and my morning grouchiness kicked in. Wtf do I have to hide in the bathroom for??

When I came back out, he handed me my first clue on a little piece of paper. Unbeknownst to me, I was going on a scavenger hunt. Until that moment, our plan had just been to go out to eat for dinner somewhere fancy (I made a post about it actually...) and keep it lowkey. So I was like ok...... here goes?

The first several clues (there were 45 in total over the course of the day) were hidden in things in our apartment. One was under our dog's collar, one was in our cat's favorite napping spot, one was on a file on my computer. Several were scattered throughout the pages of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, Good Omens, and Watership Down. One was in my car, and one was written in sharpie on the wall of a drain ditch we've walked through many times on snowday adventures.

Finally, a clue took us to his car, where a bunch of donuts and kolaches were waiting. We went to a client's house to feed some cats and there was a clue hidden there by their food bowls telling me to check my friend Babs' instagram. Sure enough, a clue was waiting for me there on her story, telling us to come over and bring the donuts!

We got to her house and we sat down w her and her fiancé to play a round of Mario Party. I ended in 3rd place, but I got both the bonus stars at the end which won me the game since I had the most money. So I was feeling pretty damn good, it's the first time I've won Mario Party in literal years.

Babs and her fiancé each had a clue for me, and off we went again to the CVS where Cory and I first met as employees. The manager there gave me my next clue, and we were off to my parent's house. There were a few clues around there, one my brother gave me. After we found the last clue, which was hidden where Cory and I declared our love for each other the first time and got together (May 21 2018), I figured out the clue was taking us to our favorite arcade.

Once we got there, his family all showed up. Each of them had a clue for me. We played games, drank beer, and somehow I hit the jackpot on a game and won us a lot of tickets, which also felt really good. We spent around an hour and a half or so there, and then I was given my next clue.

It took us to the restaurant where we had our first date (it's since changed into a new restaurant w new owners but the new place is equally delicious and fun to go to) and we met our good friends Jamie and Joucken there for a meal and a bottle of wine. They each had a clue for me, too.

The last clue I got took us to the greenbelt. It's a beautiful hiking trail along a river, very popular, we spent a lot of time there the first summer we got together. And as he was leading me to the "present" he'd "hidden" there, our friend Joucken magically appeared with his camera. Cory got down on his knee and proposed to me there. I said yes and we hugged and kissed and went to meet my parents and my uncle for dinner to tell them the news.

It was a whirlwind of a day, I never knew what was coming next and I was just hit with surprise after surprise. It was wonderful. I'm very happy and wanted to share the experience lol

Mtg Fantober- 1W Condensed Ocs Pt2

This was originally gonna be one whole post but i was liek "Fuck that man" have part two Link to Part 1- https://draconicarchery.tumblr.com/post/663855335980826624/mtg-fantober-1w-intros-fanwalker

Sana Broens (BGU)- ---On mirrodin, The Broens had two girls, Sana was the eldest. She lived within a dense part of the Tangle before New Phyrexia took a hit. She loved the metallic plane from the trees to the animals, occasionally helping lost myrs out of the area away from the hostile elves. When the Phyrexian were rising, Sana got lost in the forest and was taken to the nearest veridian location, most of her vedalken features were hidden albeit smaller spikier hair and her own blue blood allowed her to be excluded by the group. After proving her worth to them, by helping the resistance. --- She was soon infected and compleated by the vicious swarm in a slim but sturdy body. Her head is primarily intact as during the compleation process, the doctors found out she was a dullahan and that scarred neck and head being able to detach was quite a nice perk. After compleation, she fought for the vicious swarm before taking up her own mantle and leaving. She now lives in the tangle with her shadow beast hunting the most vicious of phyrexian predators or anyone who dares get in her way.

Seline Veranda- --- A half-elf-vedalken from the plane of Ravnica. Seline, a UWG planes-bound lass, works for the Simic after her vedalken mother. She gained interest in it after being born with very noticeable genetic errors such as being born with copious amount of incompleted form hands melded into and hanging off her back, shoulders and upper arms. ---She's a really sweet girl who has been known to help out her family at their Greenbelt Clinic, especially when she was younger. Her moms loved her to death and put great hope into her. Due to this, Selene is highly fearful of failure and disappointment, so she tries her very best in the Simic so she can make her moms happy.

Titana- ---Titana was an unnamed voiceless kor from an lost plane. They don't care enough to remember who they once were other than the fact the Eldrazi, ender of their plane, saved them from a fate worse than death and ignited their spark. Following the Eldrazi footsteps as an oldwalker, Titana studied them deeply and exstensively as well as the multiverse and blind eternities. Titana desperately wanted to walk in the glory as the creatures do. Due to this, Titana tiredlessly experimented on all biological matter from just moss on the ground to even on themselves. Via a sequence of events, Titana managed to grasp on how they could possibly ascend to this level. After those tests and projects, they followed some of the eldrazi to Zendikar, staying in a more "normal" form, being out of sight and out of mind as they saw three titans stop and was locked in place. ---After that event, Titana decided to stick to themselves, hiding out in extended periods of the Blind Eternities as they built of a immunity to it. Once the mending hit, They were relatively unaffected due to the exstensive self-eldrazification and their now corrupted spark. --- They appeared only a few times on Innistrad and Zendikar as the Eldrazi were released, dragging and killing some scions and broodmembers. Sometimes, inadvertently saving some inhabitants of the world. ---The Spark that they have is high corrupted and volatile, dangerous to give away and study. It's filled with the poisonous potent magic of the Blind Eternities. It is still a planeswalker spark, meaning they are still stuck to planes at times and still required energy and movement to go from one to the other. This is why they cannot leave back to the eternities during the events of War of the Sparks.

Commander Uriel- ---Commander Uriel is a planes-bound firemane angel. She is a slightly older angel than Aurelia. During the fight of control between Feather and Aurelia, Uriel and her group stayed out of their way. The way of handling that Aurelia did always unsettled Uriel as the now-guldmaster's brashness and more aggressive form of justice seeped into the lower ranks. However, she held to her duty as a commander so she never left the Legion. ---During a raid on gruul territory, Uriel encountered a ragged angel with black wings, blue tattoos and an almost-shimmering mist emanating from her blue tipped features. Uriel stood by as this angel pinned down an escaping gruul warrior and putting them down with a quick blow. Meeting up with the angel, now known as Pyrna, Uriel took her back to the camp essentially interrogating the planeswalker. --- With some disagreeing ideals and an impromptu therapy session, Uriel came to know the reaper as a respectful person who desparately wished to be apart of something again. Asking Pyrna, she allowed the other to join the legion. Unbeknownst to them, they eventually fell in love with eachother, soon starting to date after a decade.

Vodania- --- To most if not all of Ravnica, the dragons like the mighty Niv-Mizzet were killed and perished after that decree had set in. To Vodania, she knows one other who lived: herself. Vodania was a dragon with her own northern settlement years prior to the guildpact forming. She had lived there in peace with the locals, being both welcomed as a leader and a protector. A gentle giant she was, watching young kids play near her watchful gaze, listening in to their imaginary adventures and retold stories from the elders. From time-to-time, she gave them information on how the people could do, typically with the biological world around them. --- When the guildpact was being signed and announced, Vodania had transformed herself into a human and went to watch the ceremony. She heard that decree brought up by Niv-Mizzet, killing all other sentient dragons. It made her heart sank, and with a sheer amount of panic. Vodania dashed back to her settlement, being only hours late as the place and people were ravaged. Niv-Mizzet was there and they fought. In the end, Niv-Mizzet had the upper hand and as he was putting down the final blow, Vodania's spark ignited and she planeswalked. ---As she walked the planes, she mourned for her home and her people. They didn't have to die, she could've been there to save them. With guilt in mind, she attempted to have the same life on other planes, having the same event over and over again. A failure of a protector, scholar and being she was. --- She soon returned to Ravnica, fitting in as a rather large and imposing Merfolk, finding refuge in the newly reformed Simic Combine. The Simic Combine grew on her quickly and became her group, her people, on a plane that brought her devastation. There she studied with her colleagues and is now looking at a new further zonot away from the central 10 districts, further up north where she was more acclimated to. Where she once had lived. --- During the Gathering Storm, she came down to the 10th after hearing the rumors of the Interloper from other high up Simic Guildmages. Vodania spent time there in disguise of helping Vannifar with the Guardian Project. Then once the war hit. She revealed her identity once realized that power was needed to mow down the eternals.

How about soft sleepy Eddie, early in a morning with Buddie and Christopher either still asleep or at a sleepover???

GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE YALL

please enjoy 1.5k of soft, sleepy, touch starved Eddie. 

some things never sleep on AO3

Tuesdays, by far, were Buck’s favorite days.

Tuesdays were the magical days where Buck and Eddie were both off shift.

Tuesdays were the wonderful days where Chris had a late start at school.

Which meant, best of all, the best thing in the world—

Tuesdays were days that Buck and Eddie got to sleep in.

Buck had learned, very early in their relationship—before they had said the L word, before they had moved in together, and before Buck had the familiar weight of an engagement ring on his finger—that there were very few things that Eddie valued more than he and Christopher. And that made him all warm and fuzzy inside, sure.

But sleep… well, Buck was well aware that for Eddie, sleep was a close second.

Buck honestly had never had a relationship before where “sleeping together” actually meant falling asleep in a bed together and waking up together before it meant fucking, but that definitely wasn’t the only way that Eddie was a first for him. Honestly, though, Buck wouldn’t change it for the world.

He got to wake up every morning with Eddie, secure in his arms (and god, that had blown his mind, when Eddie had mentioned in a way that very much was not as subtle as Eddie had hoped, that if Buck ever wanted to be the big spoon, well, he would be okay with that).

Eddie liked being the little spoon. Who would have fucking thought it?

Buck knew himself pretty well—he knew that while he was a very, very physically affectionate person, it was unlikely that he was going to get that same amount of affection back in a relationship, especially in any of his relationships with men. And don’t get him wrong, he loved any skin on skin contact with Eddie, but not enough to risk jeopardizing their tentative friendship, or beginning of a relationship, with the amount of hugs and affection he preferred.

He should have known he didn’t have to worry about that—as soon as Eddie had deemed him a safe source of tired cuddling, he became the first person that Buck sought out when he was feeling even moderately tired, resting his head against the space in between Buck’s shoulder blades, using any part of him as a pillow, regardless of where they were or which teammates were watching.

(“Buck, no one's concerned about the cuddling.” Hen had told him one night, while Eddie was batting away at something in the gym with Chim, and he and Hen were tossing cards around on one of the collapsable tables. “Honestly, the only issue comes when you're both on different shifts. He turns into grumpy cat. It’s annoying.”

“You know who grumpy cat is?”

“That is not the point, Buck.”)

As much as Eddie loved sleep, Buck loved waking up even more. Waking up meant he got to press kisses against Eddie’s neck, got to tighten his arms around Eddie’s waist, got to witness first hand the half hour between sleep and full alertness where Eddie was… well, where he was adorable. Not that Buck would ever admit that.

No, he would take that secret to his grave.

When they had first gotten together, Buck had actually assumed that Eddie was a morning person. He was up with the sun, almost every morning. He could go from asleep to awake in a frighteningly short amount of time. He didn’t even need coffee to get his day going—he could literally just open his eyes and roll out of bed.

Buck thought, more or less, that Eddie was at least part android.

The first time things had changed was also the first time that Eddie had a nightmare while Buck was over, weirdly enough. One moment, Buck had been on his back, with Eddie curled up against his side, using his chest as a pillow while Buck flipped through the last few pages of his book, the next, Eddie was ramrod straight, his breathing tight and labored, body a weird combination of stiff and shivering.

Worse than the nightmare, though, was how Eddie acted when it was over. The flailing, okay, the initial shout, that was fine, but having Eddie crying? Telling Buck that it was okay for him to go, that he deserved someone less broken? Well, that was un fucking acceptable, and he made that point more than clear when he wrapped Eddie in his arms and dove back into bed.

(“You make me feel safe.” Eddie had confessed after his tear tracks had dried, lying on Buck’s chest, barely audible over the steady sound of the Santa Ana winds against the window. “I just… I feel safe when you hold me like this, when I’m in your arms.” Buck hadn’t responded—hadn’t needed to—he just tightened his hold on the other male, face buried in Eddie’s shorter hair.)

The next morning was the first time that Buck had ever woken up before Eddie, and he took extreme advantage of it—he kissed every inch of Eddie’s head and neck he could get to, he tightened his arms around Eddie’s middle, he made all sorts of adorable noises against Eddie’s mop of hair while sun spilled in through the window.

If Buck had known what he would be encouraging—nay, unleashing—he would have done this all so much sooner.

-

Buck was still, regularly, the first to wake up. And Eddie’s hair may have been shorter now, but that didn’t mean Buck couldn’t nuzzle into it whenever he woke up.

All of the other physical affection, though… that came from Eddie, even in sleep.

Eddie was a fucking koala.

It didn’t matter how they fell asleep—side by side, chest to chest, curled in with one another, hell, even when they were in separate bunks in the station—Buck almost always woke up with Eddie completely tangled up with him, wether it was just holding Buck’s arms with his own and looping their legs together, or finding himself completely wrapped up in Eddie’s limbs, nose buried in the hollow of Buck’s neck or the dip right in Buck’s collarbone.

The nights where they fell asleep chest to chest were the absolute worst, though; not because Buck didn’t like waking up with Eddie’s lips in kissing distance, because Eddie madE the saddest, sleepiest, little pouts when Buck tried to wake him up. It was nearly impossible to actually get to work on time when he had an Eddie in his arms that looked like he was about to cry if Buck actually wanted them to both join the land of the living.

Because worse than Eddie’s clingy fucking octopus tendencies—

(as if any of that was actually a bad thing)

—was that when it came to getting up, Eddie was a fucking child.

Like, a bigger child than Chris.

“Come on, Eds, we gotta get up.” Buck murmured, lips pressing along Eddie’s temple, settling right at the center of his forehead as Eddie let out a whine.

“I know, you big baby.” Buck tried again, with no heat in his voice, as Eddie let out a string of unintelligible curses and buried his face in Buck’s throat.

He tossed the blankets off of them, feeling Eddie grip around his waist even tighter, feeling oddly pleased with himself as Eddie groaned into his skin, finally working on real words. “Buck, noooo. It’s Tuesday. We sleep on Tuesdays.”

“I know we do, Eddie,” Buck started, finally working himself into a sitting position, Eddie melting down the front of his body until Buck’s lap became a pillow, Eddie’s arms easily wrapping around his middle.

Buck sighed as he rubbed along Eddie’s back, kissing his head as he leaned over and playfully swatted his flank, grinning at the surprised groan he got in response. “You gotta let me go so I can make breakfast. I’ll make your favorite waffles, but I gotta get started on them now.”

“You can’t leave, Buck, I’m your fiancé. That’s not fair. Fuck the waffles.”

Oh, it was a ‘fuck breakfast’ kind of morning.

“Eds—”

“I don’t want waffles, I just want you.”

Damn it, Buck knew he was going to regret it, but he had to look at Eddie’s face, the sad sounds only amplified by the image of Eddie rubbing his eyes, looking legitimately like he was about to cry.

Buck had fallen for that many, many times before. And he probably would fall for it many, many times in the future.

Finally cracking under pressure, Buck resorted to the big guns, his voice low and slow as he laced his arms beneath Eddie’s. He alternated between speaking and kissing where he could, pulling the other male into a sitting position, more or less in Buck’s lap. “Cmon, Eds. I’ll tell you what. Let’s get up, get Chris some breakfast, go for a nice walk along the greenbelt he loves, drop him off at school, and then we can spend the entire afternoon wrapped up with one another on the couch. You can take a nap, I’ll let you pass out on me, and I’ll order out for dinner so I don’t have to get up before Chris comes home with Carla.”

Buck really hated using Chris against Eddie like that, but it was the easiest way to get Eddie to pretend to be a functioning adult in the moments between sleep and a fully-oxygenated brain. He almost thought that he won their regular battle when Eddie finally leaned back against his chest with a happy sigh, tilting Buck’s head down for an easy, good morning kiss, eyes heavy and half lidded. And fuck, Eddie was always beautiful, but there was something about him in the early morning, soft and pliable and so loving that made Buck’s heart fucking ache, especially in the —where Eddie opened hs mouth and really just put the final nail in the coffin.

“I love you, Evan soon-to-be-Diaz.”

(It was another twenty minutes before they left the bed.

Buck had absolutely no regrets.)
