“This whole week was a mistake. I’m sorry, Eddie, I should never have asked you to do this for me.”
Eddie exhales.
“I mean this from the bottom of my heart, Buck, okay, so listen to me when I say this.” He waits until he feels me nod before continuing. “I would do anything for you. Anything. Up to and including staging an elaborate lie to tell your family over Christmas, obviously. But I would lie to anyone for you, even my own family. I would fight for you, just as hard as I’ve witnessed you fight for Christopher and maybe even a bit more. I’d rush into a burning building for you, without any of the training or the right gear you get when you’re the one running into a fire.” As he’s talking he picks his head back up, turning to look at my face. I meet his gaze, even though I want nothing more than to shrink away right now, to run back into the building and up the stairs and hide under the covers. “I would kill anyone who hurts you, Buck. I mean it, I would. With my bare hands. Because of everyone I’ve ever met, I’ve never met someone who deserves to be happy more than you do.”
I’m probably seconds away from letting out a truly embarrassing sob. 
Would he be saying all this if I had told him the whole truth, though? On top of the awkward lies I’m struggling with the fact that I have these uncontrollable feelings for him.
I tell myself not to think about it. He’ll never find out about them, I’ll never jeopardize his presence in my life. 
As I watch through blurry eyes, Eddie reaches out, cupping my cheek with his palm. “You’re not doing anything to our friendship. I’m still here because I want to be. I don’t want to be anywhere without you. I never do.”
I take a shuddering breath in, leaning into his hand.
What is he even- why would he - How does he know exactly what to say?
We’re still making eye contact. When did he lean in so close to me? He’s only inches away, I can feel his exhale blow across my face. Eddie’s thumb twitches, moving across my cheek. Against my will, I flick my gaze down to his lips. They’re right there.
We both startle when we hear footsteps rushing out on the porch, dispelling the moment. 
“Oh, Buck, Eddie, it’s just you. Good heavens! Seeing the doors open gave me a fright!” Don Blevins says, pressing a hand over his heart.
I have to fight with a flare of irrational anger that comes over me. Why are these moments with Eddie always getting interrupted?
“Sorry, Don,” Eddie calls out, leaning around me to look at the innkeeper. “I was worried it might lock behind us.
“Oh, we’re not all that fancy here. I’m gonna pull them shut. Please just make sure to lock ‘em up when you come back in.”
“You got it,” Eddie tells him. “Night.”
Even with Don gone, the moment doesn’t come back. I’m lying when I tell Eddie the hot cocoa hit the spot, that I think I’m finally ready to sleep. 
He pretends to believe me, at least.

Potential Character for Mrs. Kelsey and Tumblr 1/24/2024:
Tom Haverford, Passionate Entrepreneur:
What he’s from: “Parks and Recreation”.
Stuff about him:
Thomas Montgomery Haverford is an Indian American, who changed his name from “Darwish Sabir Ismael Ghani” to be more appealing in politics. He is often assumed to be an immigrant by much of the Parks and Recreation staff (Leslie often assuming him to be Libyan), though, as he frequently reminds them, he hails from South Carolina, as does Ansari (the guy who plays him). He initially shared an office with Leslie Knope and worked as her immediate subordinate at the Pawnee parks and recreation department, often serving as her right-hand man.
Tom displays an extremely sarcastic, mischievous and cocky attitude, and frequently attempts to secure favors from local contractors. Tom has demonstrated his talent and passion for entrepreneurship in many occasions, including Entertainment 720, Rent-A-Swag, and Tom’s Bistro.
In “Go Big or Go Home,” Tom also boasted about ladies’ sneakers he bought from his workplace during Pawnee’s government shutdown. Though it is not explicitly said, it’s assumed Tom worked at Lady Foot Locker, where his best friend Jean-Ralphio Saperstein has a job too (“Woman of the Year”). He later opens up his own luxurious clothing-rental store for growing teens, Rent-A-Swag, and employs Jean-Ralphio’s sister Mona Lisa Saperstein. Tom married his Canadian-born college friend Wendy to secure her U.S. citizenship (a green card marriage). Despite the marriage, Tom aggressively flirts with other women, which has prompted confusion from people unfamiliar with his arrangement with Wendy. He is constantly pursuing women even during his marriage, as far as going to strip clubs, hitting on Ann Perkins, distributing copies of his house keys to beautiful women, and judging at the Miss Pawnee pageant.
Tom’s heroes include Tiger Woods, Vin Diesel, Michael Bolton, Flo Rida, Patrick Jane, Paul Walker, and Jamie Foxx. He has a very high image of himself and brags that people view him as a “Brown Superman with a Beard” and has also asked to be introduced as “The Brown Gosling”. He is very appreciative of pop culture and the idea of “swag”, very often expressed in his vernacular (e.g. saying “‘Serts” instead of “desserts” in the episode “Soulmates”). Tom often teams with April Ludgate and sometimes Donna Meagle to prank and harass Gerry Gergich. He also finds Ben Wyatt an easy target of tease.
How he’s like me:
We both are hyper-focused on our interests (like my fan fictions and his businesses), and talk about them often.
How he is NOT like me:
I can sometimes listen and be part of a conversation on other peoples’ interests. He is really bad at this and often tunes out conversations that don’t interest him. Sometimes, I do this, but not as often as I used to.
Kelsey Notes:
Being diagnosed with autism comes with “impairments in social interaction”- this means it is difficult for you to balance a hyper fixation on your interests
It isn’t always easy for you to turn off your interests and tune into other things people like to talk about
Sometimes it can be difficult for others to understand that you are still in the process of turning off your fan fiction interest while engaging in conversations with others
          This takes time because, in addition to resisting the urge to talk about fan fictions, you are still training your brain to not tune out the things other people talk about. 
Taking baby steps means that with practice, over time you will work on contributing more to conversations as you progress with turning off your fan fiction interest
As Tom continues to work in the Parks Department, he develops more of an interest in the business aspects that go on
He starts to learn that his current job will bring him connections and skills that are necessary to maintain a successful business he hopes to have in the future
          i.e. I want to embrace where I currently am if I want to get to where I would like to be
Tom gets overly excited because he is an idea man, so his brain is always coming up with ideas
He does take initiative to make them happen, as ridiculous as some of them may be EXAMPLE: fluoride water
His skills come in handy when the Parks department needs creative advertising and out of the box ideas.  Once this side of him is embraced more, he starts to take the job more seriously
He does try to hide his emotions at times (he liked Wendy and was jealous when she wanted to date Ron and was sad about their divorce)

November 11, 2020 in Pawnee, Indiana
“Mayor Gergich retains his seat despite losing by eight votes to unknown write in candidate,” Ben Wyatt paused and furrowed his brows, lifting his phone closer to his face to read the news article. “Leslie?”
“Yes, babe?” Leslie Knope looked up from her computer where she had just donated to https://secure.actblue.com/donate/georgiasenate to help Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff win their Senate run off races on January 5th. Earlier that day the triplets had held a lemonade stand fundraiser, where their parents had learned Stephen was using some colorful language about Mitch McConnell. 
“Abby Adultlady,” Ben said, handing Leslie his phone. “Abby Adultlady won the race to be the next mayor of Pawnee.”
“I do love her stance on waffles for every meal and non stop puppy parties,” Leslie said, turning her attention to the news and President-Elect Biden’s transition team, refreshing the page and hoping to see her name pop up. “But wait, you said Gerry would still be mayor?”
“Yes, because as I informed the city council, who had to be informed for some reason, Abby Adultlady is not a real adult person. She is in fact, three triplets in a trench coat.”
“That doesn’t sound right, I think I met her,” Leslie said, now too distracted again by the thought that Joe Biden would be the next President. Maybe she and Ben would have another Dr. Jill and Joe roleplay night after they sent the kids to April and Andy’s house. 
“You have, because they are children who are six and not one adult and they live in our house,” Ben said, knowing Leslie was focused instead on ordering another pair of aviator sunglasses.

i will never understand why shows like parks & rec and one day at a time deliberately choose to use the constant disrespect, rudeness and downward cruelty shown towards gentle, kind and caring men like Gerry Gergich and Dr. Leslie Berkowitz as comedic relief. These men are great examples in how men should behave and what values they should have. They are so sweet and selfless. But instead they constantly get talked down, are made fun of or are physically or emotionally hurt. i just don't get the "comedy" in that at all.
