hi it's been so long since I posted but @mellaithwen tagged me and I need the motivation to keep working on this fic lol <3
Buck wakes up to his phone ringing from the floor. He must have dropped it there at some point last night. He sighs and leans over to grab it, nearly falling out of bed with how far he has to reach.
It's Eddie's face that greets him when he turns the phone over to look at the screen. He still hasn't changed the picture. He lets it ring, thumb poised over the answer button, hoping something will give him courage to do one thing, or the other. Nothing does, and the phone makes the decision for him as it goes black and silent in his hand. He thinks that's the first time he's let a call from Eddie ring through since before he disappeared.
The phone lights up again a second later. He watches it again, doesn't decline it (doesn't think he'd be able to even if he tried), but he doesn't answer it either. It rings for a long time, and then stops again. Then it pings with a text.
12:43 a.m.
[Eddie]: Pick up.
Buck has just enough time to read the message before the screen changes and the phone starts ringing again. After the fifth ring, he finally relents.
“I don’t want to end up being strangers,” Eddie is saying as soon as Buck brings the phone to his ear. “I don’t want to end up ten years from now wondering why the hell we never talk anymore.”
“What?”
“I want to try to be friends. Really try. I want to keep trying until we figure out how to make it all work. Because, yeah, I made a life while you were gone, and then you came back and now everything is so much more difficult, and neither of us really knows what we’re doing, but it doesn’t matter. Because I would still rather everything be so fucking difficult with you around, than to not have you around at all.”
“Right."
“I’m sorry.”
“I know.”
“You forgive me?”
Buck sighs and stares up at the ceiling. Things would be quieter if they went their separate ways. Things would hurt less, in the long run, if Buck accepted what he can't change and moved on. Maybe he would even be happy. Was there ever any question? “Of course I do, idiot,” he says softly.

"Why did you invite me over?" Buck asks. The air between them is electric.
"I don't know."
"Don't you?"
Eddie shakes his head. He doesn't trust his own words. He thinks they might ask for something he'll regret.
Neither of them move for a moment, and Eddie closes his eyes, drinking in the closeness of their bodies. The magnetism that keeps him from stepping back, from breaking the connection. His wanting is razor sharp now. It cuts right down to the bone, and he lets it bleed.
Buck's hand lights on his waist, gentle, asking quiet permission that Eddie knows he should deny, but he doesn't pull away. He practically shivers as Buck's thumb trails down to find the bottom hem of his t-shirt, slipping beneath it and searching out the bare skin that it hides.
There's lightning bolts where their skin touches, burning so hot it makes his breath catch in his throat.
The distance is nothing anymore. Inches, and he could have everything he wants. Inches, and he could destroy everything he's built.
"Stop," he hears himself saying. "Stop, I can't."

Then there’s quiet. The thick, dark kind that hangs in a charged atmosphere, in the wake of words you know you can’t take back. The kind that holds your voice hostage until it decides there’s space for you to speak again. In this quiet the mask falls away, and underneath it Buck seems fragile, like he might just break apart at the slightest pressure. Paper in water, and Eddie's hands aren’t delicate enough to touch without tearing it. He stays frozen where he is.
"But you feel it too," Buck says, barely above a whisper. It’s a plea.
And what’s that saying? When you find yourself in a hole... just keep digging, there’s no way you’re getting out of it now. Something like that.
"It doesn't matter what I feel, Buck. It'll pass. I have someone, and it's not you and I'm sorry, but it's not gonna change. You've been gone for so long and we never got a proper goodbye, of course you coming back is gonna dig up some shit. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna uproot my whole life to just—go back in time.”
Buck glances him over and shakes his head, looking for all the world like he's just going to scoff and call him a liar. It's not like he wouldn't deserve it. Eddie almost wants him to. It would be the first real thing either of them have said tonight.
He doesn’t. He won't push Eddie into that corner. His shoulders sag like they’re suddenly too heavy for him to hold straight anymore, the hurt and disbelief and disappointment on his face clear as day.
"Yeah. Who would want that?" he says bitterly.
i'll tag back everyone above and also @deareddie @miserykites @tawaifeddiediaz @fcntasmas @like-the-rest-of-la and @mellaithwen if u want to 💖

late night minecraft shenanigans with your beloved, nagi seishiro.
❝ angel... y'know i'll always wait for you to fall sleep first... ❞
you let out a long, frustrated sigh, for what felt like the umpteenth time that evening.
hearts4seii_ was slain by allmightsasshairs using texassmashyomama

allmightsasshairs : BWHAGWAHGDWAFGHJEA
allmightsasshairs : DUDE THIS BITCH IS SO ASS I CANT LOL
miiwa.xx : give it a rest lol ur still using the same shit hacks to kill her
hikaxruu_ : hacks?? LMAO u could kill her with just a wooden stick
you aggressively typed out a long, rage-fueled response in the chat box, before taking a long pause and completely deleting the entire paragraph.
it’s fine. i'll just finish the house for seishiro, and leave. besides, they’ll leave me alone soon enough if i stay quiet, anyway. snapping back would only add fuel to the fire.
or, so you thought. as you pressed on the respawn button, your eyebrow twitched upon finding out that the player had destroyed your bed in your base, therefore resetting your spawn, all the way back 16,000 blocks away.
nevertheless, you exhaled deeply, and kept your composure.
sometimes, it amazed others how patient you were. you’ve been at this game of minecraft for 6 hours now, and you didn’t plan on stopping, even if your bedside clock clearly displayed the time of 3AM. you were determined to finish the lovely little home that you had turned a beautiful lush cave into, for your beloved boyfriend when he joined tomorrow.
although those players were teaming up on you and killing you for fun, you blatantly ignored them each time and continued to build the base without saying a single word to them.
after travelling an agonizing 16,000 blocks to the spot you died in, you sighed in relief as you picked up the items that were dropped when you were killed earlier.
okay, i’m almost done. it’s just a few more finishing touches, then i can finally slee--
your eyes focused on the once so beautiful scenery before you. the dimly lit, silent and serene lush cave that you spent six hours building, was destroyed.
engulfed in flames, doused in lava, and swarmed with every kind of mob in the game. the base that you worked so hard on was completely demolished.
you frowned, and immediately left the game without a word, too pissed off to even get angry at the players. you slammed your laptop shut and tossed it onto the carpet beneath your bed, tugging the covers over your head and huffing as you shut your eyes.
unbeknownst to you, a certain someone was wide awake the entire time. watching you play, for the last six hours, ever since he slipped into your sheets and cuddled up into your side comfortably. he watched, from the corner of his eye, with his face snuggled up and hidden in your arm.
nagi seishiro observed as you, his wonderful, patient and determined girlfriend, built a beautiful home for the both of you to share in a silly little block game. even with the other players bullying you and your weaker and less-experienced self, you didn't give up even once.
it somehow made his heart flutter.
upon seeing the scenery encapsulated in nothing but ruin, he saw the look of disappointment and hurt in your eyes. he couldn’t help but share the feeling when he witnessed you finally quitting after all those hours of perseverance.
when you had fallen fast asleep in his loving embrace, the sneaky boy gently tucked a pillow in your arms to substitute his presence as he sat up and took his own laptop into his hands, launching the game on his own account.
hearts4y/n_ has joined the game.
allmightsasshairs : oh look whos back on her alt LMAOO
hearts4y/n_ burned to death.
allmightsasshairs : HAHAHWHHAA
allmightsasshairs : U DIED IN THAT LAME BASE DIDNT U

allmightsasshairs : OKAY OKAY IM SORRY ILL GIVE THE STUFF JUST PLEASE DONT LEAK IT HERE
hearts4y/n_ : fix her base.
hearts4y/n_ : return it to how it was before you trashed it. if even a single block is off, ill leak your ip on every social media platform that exists on the internet.
allmightsasshairs : YES OKAY I WILL IM SORRY
nagi yawned as he set the laptop on his bedside table, leaving the device open to monitor the player rebuilding what he had destroyed. he turned over on his side to face you, before wrapping his large arms around your smaller figure and pulling you into a spooning position.
you stirred awake from the sudden movement, rubbing your eyes as your boyfriend pressed his face into the top of your head, inhaling your sweet, soft scent. the sweet boy let out a light whine when you pulled away from his embrace.
‘sei...? why’re you up, baby? ‘s something wrong?‘ you cooed in a raspy voice as you cupped his cheek, brushing away the small strands of snow white hair in his face. “mm... yeah. i saw the place you made for us, pretty. ‘t was gorgeous, jus’ like you.“ he murmured, watching in amusement as your eyes widened at his remark.
you sat up in revelation, staring down at the cute, sleepy boy who griped at the complete loss of your warmth.
'you were awake the entire time...?'
"'f course, angel. y'know i'll always wait for you to fall sleep first."
when you caught eye of his open laptop behind him, you giggled lightly. your nose and ears were no doubt dusted with a light shade of pink as you laid back down, trying to think of just what this menace did to get your bully to restore your creation. your big, 6'2 boyfriend wrapped his arms and legs around you, no doubt trapping you in his chest, but you didn't mind a single bit.
you could be trapped there forever if it meant keeping this cute, scheming boy that you could proudly call yours.
a/n ; lets all pretend this drabble ended just as scrumptious as the main idea of boyfriend!nagi protecting u and ur cute aesthetic builds in mc and not with the bullshit ending i randomly typed out pls i have writers block rn idk what im doing
