-June 17th 2010-

Buck had to work Wednesday after their movie night. He almost considered calling in, spending the whole day laying with Eddie. But he wanted to keep a good relationship with his job, and Kelly. Thursday morning they woke up late, Buck woke up first, just silently laying there watching Eddie. He was so lucky... He finally found someone who wasn't afraid. Found someone who stayed. This is what love is.

Eddie had the whole day planned, or so that's what he told Buck. He was so giddy to take Buck out on a real date. Even though Buck would consider most of their time out together has been dates.

Eddie told Buck to get ready and dress comfortable. Eddie apologized that his car wasn't as nice as Bucks as his hands gripped the steering wheel. Buck watched as the trees turned from pine into palm, driving along the coast and out towards the airport part of town.

He was very confused but trusted Eddie, where ever they end up, as long as he's with him. Buck rolled down his passenger side window, sticking his hand out the window and letting it float in the breeze. Middle of June, it was a beautiful day. They had taken awhile to get ready and just enjoyed the morning cuddle time. So it was later in the day, neither complained though.

They pulled up and Buck immediately got so excited. The aquarium!!!

"EDDIE YAY" Buck bounced like a child.

He loved aquariums! He got to go once for a field trip, and always begged his parents to come with him and take him back. They never cared enough to do it. Buck did finally convince Maddie to go one other time, but she brought Doug along and they spent most of the time making out.

Eddie chuckled and took his hand, they walked up to the ticket booth. Eddie buying the tickets as Buck felt like crying. He couldn't even get his own mom and dad to take him to the aquarium. Eddie didn't even know he loved this place and he's here. He wiped away the single tear that fell down his cheek as Eddie turned around, grabbing his hand again and leading him up the escalator to the exhibits.

As they turned the left hand corner and came up into the first room, there were tons of features with beautiful rock formations around them.

"Oh look! A Sturgeon!" Buck exclaimed pulling Eddie towards the tank

It smelt so nice, he loved the water smell, the sounds. The ocean, a lake, a river, anything like that brought him peace. They continued to talk and walk through the exhibit. One place there was a huge turtle! Like bigger than anything Buck had seen. A place where you can watch the little river fish swim over your head.

Then something caught his eye.

"AN OTTER!!!" Buck squeaked and ran off leaving Eddie

"Buck" Eddie giggled out behind him and followed.

"Did you know sea otters eat 25 percent of their body weight in food every day. ?!" Buck asked him when he found Buck

"No, I didn't" he replied

"Well they do! I wish I could do that and still look as cute as them!"

"You are way cuter" Eddie told him

He laid his head on Bucks shoulder and wrapped him up from behind. Bucks heart fluttered, and leaned into his hug, they just stood there for who knows how long. The place was decently quiet, it was the middle of June but it was still a Thursday afternoon. Not many people were there.
