  Notes:





    
      Stardew Valley, Mario Kart, and Dragon Age? In my 911 fic? It's more likely than you think.I started writing this for the day 1 prompt of bucktommy positivity week but eventually the video games aspect took over and I decided to save this for day 4. This also got a lot more heavy on the feelings too in the process so uh, oops?Buck absolutely is a Harvey romancer in Stardew and you can't change my mind!Feedback is always welcomed! Any and all mistakes are my own. Rated T for language and non-explicit mentions of s@x.

          Mermaid Pendant Tommy doesn’t consider himself much of a video game person, outside of the occasional (and very competitive) rounds of Mario Kart or Super Smash Brothers with some of the Harbor crew. (He sweeps at Mario Kart, actually. Lucy still owes him twenty bucks from the last time he kicked the entire shift’s ass at Rainbow Road.) Evan, however, very much is a video game person, and it’s becoming one of Tommy’s many favorite things about him. Evan is always enthusiastic about who and what he cares about, as Tommy can happily attest to from personal experience. Tommy can’t help but find himself charmed by how much Evan enjoys video games.Evan introduces him to video games through one of the nights when Evan has Christopher over to his loft while Eddie has a session with Frank. He and Christopher explain their favorite fighting game, and the strengths and weaknesses of each character and why they both have dibs on certain characters. Tommy watches fondly as Evan gesticulates wildly with his hands as he explains why a certain combination of moves is the absolute best way to destroy your opponent, and Christopher chimes in with a compelling counterargument about why a different combination is better. The way Evan lights up, as though he were a part of the neon background of the video game itself, warms Tommy in places he long since gave up for dead.Tommy tries out the fighting game himself and loses handily. But he hardly cares, given how much he’s laughing at the teasing both Evan and Christopher give him; the creative trash talk reminds him of his previous video game sessions with his Harbor coworkers. He finally does win a round against Evan, who pouts. So, of course, Tommy has to press a kiss to his cheek about it. Christopher, a true teenager now, rolls his eyes.Tommy gladly joins in the next time Evan has both Eddie and Christopher over for a video game night, teaming up with Evan. Even when they lose, Tommy still considers himself a winner for how Evan leans into him, squeezing his hand and entangling their fingers together between rounds, as they joke around with Eddie and Christopher. They munch on the snacks Eddie and Christopher bring with them – lots of chocolate but also fruit ‘for balance,’ Eddie says – and also the amazing nachos Evan made. Evan, Tommy, and Eddie enjoy rum with their Coke while Christopher enjoys just Coke. Evan glows like a whole gathering of fireflies, flickering vibrantly between all of them; his blue eyes shine and that birth mark above his eye that Tommy adores so much blooms in time with the lilting sound of his laughter. If Tommy weren’t already so far gone on the man he might as well be drowning in the river Styx, he would fall even harder just from the sight of Evan so clearly in his element.The next time they play video games, Evan introduces him to what he calls “the best comfort game of all time,” Stardew Valley. Tommy watches at first while Evan explains the story of a farmer who inherits a farm from his dying grandpa; Evan talks about the various strengths of the different farms and how there’s action, adventure, and even monsters despite the fact that this is a farming simulation. Tommy doesn’t think much of the game at first but Evan’s commentary is fascinating, and the more he learns as he watches Evan play, the more Tommy finds himself drawn in, especially as he gets to know the various characters. (His heart may or may not skip a beat when he discovers Evan’s farmer has a dog named Hot Pilot.)“Wow, Pierre really is the worst!” Tommy can’t help but notice after Pierre wins the Stardew Valley Fair using produce Evan’s farmer sold to him.“He is,” Evan confirms. “Sometimes I’m tempted to do a Joja run just to make Pierre miserable but that would involve making the Junimos miserable so I really can never do it because I would never be able to live with myself! I would die for each and every Junimo. And I’ll get my revenge next festival when I can really start pumping out the purple star wines.” His determined eyes and the sincerity with which he says he would die for the Junimos shoot straight through to Tommy’s heart, which already feels full to bursting at the seams for all that he loves about Evan Buckley.Well, in fairness, Tommy’s more than willing to split his heart open for Evan.“And obviously I’m romancing Harvey,” Evan says as his farmer walks over to Harvey at the festival. He turns to look at Tommy, his face flushed pink like the strawberry cake Evan made for dessert the other night. Tommy’s committed this look to memory; one day he’ll remember to actually commit this look to his phone. “Because he reminds me of you.”The admission hits Tommy like the first time he tasted Evan’s lips in this very loft; he gulps down air like he’s taking a shot, desperate to replace the breath Evan’s words stole in the span of a matter of moments. His face aches with the stretch of his smile as he drinks in the awe within Evan’s eyes fixed on him.“I love you, you absolute nerd,” Tommy says, leaning over to kiss Evan soundly. Evan flails as he tries to pause the game; he only just manages before getting his hands in Tommy’s hair and pulling Tommy on top of him. Tommy grins into that kiss and the way Evan presses his name onto his tongue. Evan’s legs wrap around his waist, drawing Tommy in closer as they sink into one of Tommy’s other favorite activities that Evan just so happens to be vibrantly enthusiastic about.(Tommy becomes addicted to Stardew Valley not long after they come up for air. They start their own co-op farm a few moments after that, which ends in round two when Evan “accidentally” ends up perching in Tommy’s lap.)In between the video games Evan is especially passionate about, they indulge in some video games Tommy happens to be more familiar with; Mario Kart is a favorite, especially. Chimney and Maddie host game nights, alternating between video games and board games, and Tommy finds himself enthralled by the way Evan throws himself willingly into each and every one that they play. Sometimes, they find themselves at Hen and Karen’s, now with Mara back under their roof, and Tommy enjoys watching as Evan plays with Denny, Mara, Christopher, and Jee-Yun, the cool adult of the youths.Tommy especially likes playing Mario Kart when it’s just him and Evan, though. (And yeah, sue him; he went out and bought a Switch after playing Stardew Valley with Evan, so they can play together even when they can’t be in the same place together. That co-op has gotten him through some of the worst shifts of his career simply by existing as a space where he and Evan can find each other again and again.)“Okay, but like, what do I win if I win this race?” Evan says one night during a Mario Kart session with an arch of an eyebrow, lips quirked in a smirk accentuated by the cocky jilt of his chin in Tommy’s direction; it’s very hot. Tommy doesn’t miss, either, the way Evan’s tongue swipes across his bottom lip with the confidence of all the creative ways Evan knows how to put that tongue to good use.“Oh, are we placing bets now?” Tommy responds, narrowly avoiding going over the edge of Rainbow Road. He smirks as he sends a Spiked Shell Evan’s way and maybe not so subtly brushes his ankle against Evan’s, who sucks in a breath at the friction. Tommy’s smirk deepens.“Figured maybe we could make things more interesting,” Evan says, shrugging as he sends a Spiked Shell Tommy’s way this time. Tommy curses as he narrowly avoids being hit.“Hmm,” he says, considering a moment, tilting his head. He hooks his ankle around Evan’s, drawing out a sharply inhaled breath from his boyfriend. And then he realizes exactly how he could make this particular gaming session more interesting, as he decides to put forth the idea he’s nurtured like a windowsill herb garden for at least the past two weeks. Though, truthfully, he’s harbored this particular desire the more his relationship with Evan deepens, starting about the time of him meeting Evan in the hospital for Maddie’s wedding. “Well, how about this. If I win, you move in with me.”Evan almost drops his controller; his eyes go wide and his entire face turns pink. “Really?”He breathes out the question more than asks it, as if he still can’t believe that Tommy is real, or that their relationship, going on a strong eight months now, is still real. Tommy’s going to buy him a bouquet of the brightest flowers he can find later on tonight to make sure Evan knows he’s going to show up for him every time.“Really,” Tommy confirms with a nod. He’d planned on asking Evan later tonight, during the special steak dinner he planned to cook for Evan. But Evan’s spontaneous desire to ‘make things more interesting’ during Mario Kart calls to the deepest parts of Tommy that have spent so long waiting to find companionship; he wants Evan to come home to him. (For the rest of their lives, but that particular question is waiting until Tommy can ensure he makes that moment as grandly romantic as he can.)Evan beams before turning back to the game, purposefully driving off of the edge of Rainbow Road with sheer glee. “You win!”Tommy throws his head back and laughs before Evan throws himself wholly into his lap, tackling him into the couch and eagerly tangling their bodies together. He loves this man so g@dd@mn@d much.He doesn’t learn about Dragon Age until after Evan moves in. The moving process, while not without road bumps along the way, ends up a lot less rocky than Tommy anticipates. They do argue about duplicates (Evan is too attached to his kitchen knives, which, while frustrating, Tommy still finds adorable) and about how to rearrange Tommy’s home to make room for Evan. But even their worst fight ends when Evan apologizes by way of making Tommy’s favorite lasagna and Tommy, in turn, apologizes by way of giving Evan’s Jeep a complete work-up: oil change, fine tuning, and a thorough car wash. The make-up s@x is especially invigorating after, too. (And Tommy especially loves this about Evan; he always tries to find solutions, even when he helps cause the problems.)One night after they finally have most of Evan’s stuff unpacked and put away, Tommy finds himself unable to get back to sleep; he tosses, turns, and finds that Evan’s space in their bed is vacant, but the sheets are still warm, as though he only just left. He stretches and yawns, picking himself up to shuffle into the living room, where Evan sits on the couch (Tommy’s, as it’s the larger, more comfortable couch), staring at the television while desperately pressing buttons on his Playstation controller.“D@mn it!” He whisper-swears. Tommy’s mouth curves in time with the way his heart curves inside of his chest. He starts walking softly into the room; Evan turns at the sound, gaze widening when he spots Tommy. He looks bewildered and sleepy all at once, his hair unbound by product, all curly and sticking out at every angle. It’s a d@mn good look on him but Tommy still wants to take Evan in his arms and wrap him up like a burrito.“Everything okay, Evan?” He asks, making his way into the living room. He sits down on the couch and shuffles closer as Evan turns to stare at him, reaching out to brush his hand through Evan’s tangled hair. Evan’s eyes flicker at the touch; he leans into Tommy’s hand. Tommy smiles, leaning in to press a soft kiss to the top of Evan’s head.“Shouldn’t you be asleep? I didn’t wake you up, did I?” Evan asks, concern etched into every crevice of his facial expression as he pulls back, eyes roaming up and down Tommy, assessing him as if they were out in the field.“I could ask you the same question,” Tommy points out. “I woke up and you weren’t there. Everything okay?”Evan pauses, eyebrows furrowing in concentration. He takes a moment to hit pause on the game he’s playing and sets his controller aside. He sucks in a breath and then exhales, his shoulders and chest sinking with the movement. Tommy gently circles his thumb in Evan’s hair and reaches over to grab Evan’s hand once the controller is out of the way. He entwines their fingers together and squeezes, waiting for Evan to elaborate.“I couldn’t sleep,” he admits. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you.” He glances over to meet Tommy’s own gaze. “Probably shouldn’t have had that last coffee with dessert.”Tommy grins. “You and me both, I think,” he says, gently knocking his shoulder into Buck’s. He forgot about that coffee, actually. But that would explain the restless night for both of them, now that he thinks about it. Still, he wonders if there’s anything else keeping Evan awake at this hour. (He hasn’t looked at his phone yet but he’s certain the hour is g@dd@mn@d heinous o’clock.)“And when I can’t sleep, I…well. I kind of think too much,” Evan admits sheepishly, his exhaustion (and current inability to combat that exhaustion) evident in the bags under his eyes. “So I wanted to try and like, distract myself from my own thoughts.”“You want to talk about those thoughts?” Tommy asks, wondering what kind of thoughts, exactly, Evan is fighting off by playing video games this late at night (or early in the morning, technically). Anxiety is an @ssh@l@; he and Evan both have their own bouts with it constantly. Sometimes they talk about it; other times, they keep their struggles with anxiety to themselves. But Tommy always offers a shoulder to lean on or an ear to listen whenever he can, especially ever since he learned about Daniel and Evan’s past of fighting so hard just to be seen. He wants Evan to know that he sees him always.“Not really,” Evan says. He closes his eyes and leans in against Tommy while he takes another slow, steadying breath. He stays silent for a few moments, leading Tommy to think the subject closed. But just before Tommy can offer another subject of conversation as a distraction, Evan speaks again. “But I guess…well. Just a lot of b@llsh@t about how I’m inevitably going to screw this all up and ruin everything.”Tommy reaches to wrap an arm around Evan’s shoulder, pulling him in even closer. He presses another kiss to the top of Evan’s head. “I wish I could send a Spiked Shell to those jerk thoughts of yours,” he says, speaking into the top of Evan’s curls. “Send them right over the edge and into the abyss.” Evan laughs; Tommy feels it reverberate against his side, life-affirming like his first sip from his first cup of coffee in the morning.“Honestly, I wish you could too,” he admits, nuzzling in against Tommy. Tommy squeezes his arm around Evan. “But this is good too. And helping a lot. Thank you.”Tommy presses another kiss to the top of Evan’s head, just because he can. “Of course,” he says, a promise he intends to keep forever.Eventually his gaze wanders to the television screen, where the game is paused on what looks like a group of people running from a man riding on what just might be the world’s ugliest dragon. Or maybe a wyvern? He doesn’t really know the distinction, though Evan probably does. “So,” he asks, curious, “I don’t think I’ve seen you play this game before. What is it?”Evan pulls back a little to glance back at the television screen before turning his gaze back to Tommy. His expression shifts into a softly bright enthusiasm when he realizes Tommy wants to know about the game he’s playing. “Oh, this? This is Dragon Age, specifically, Dragon Age II. I haven’t told you about Dragon Age yet have I?”“No,” Tommy says, unable to keep the smile from unfolding on his face at the way Evan’s eyes spark with excitement. Tommy will never tire of Evan’s passion for sharing every detail of every fascination he has, whether it’s one of his favorite video games or a Wikipedia rabbit hole he falls down into because of a unique call during a shift. “Please, educate me.”Evan comes to life as he explains about he only recently got into Dragon Age himself after reconnecting with one of his old roommates from his “glorified frat house days” who happens to be a devotee of the series himself. Tommy listens as Evan explains darkspawn, Blight, an incredible fake version of Christianity that combines Jesus with Joan of Arc, the best kind of cursing (“One of these days I’m going to say ‘Andraste’s Flaming T@ts’ at work, I know I am, Tommy”), mages verses Templars, and explaining how each game in the series so far is incredible, but he’s especially partial to Dragon Age II because of the way Hawke continually finds a way to survive despite all of the b@llsh@t thrown at them and the found family dynamics that reminds Evan of the 118. (Chimney is definitely the Varric of the 118, and no, Evan is not elaborating despite Tommy begging him to.)As Tommy holds Evan close, listening to him explain the history of the Dalish elves and how he really can’t wait for the next game so he can, ‘scramble that egg Solas,’ he thinks, yeah, I’m keeping him. I’m keeping him forever.Tommy becomes enveloped into Dragon Age himself when Evan suggests he play Dragon Age: Origins. He becomes embarrassingly emotionally invested choosing the Cousland origin (“I’m going to stab that @ssh@l@ Howe in the d@ck holy sh@t!”) and would absolutely give his life for his Mabari hound (named Evan, of course). Evan cheers him on and cackles with delight at Tommy’s running commentary, especially when Tommy shouts, unironically, “Andraste’s Flaming T@ts!” after dying to the Brood Mother the fifth time in a row.And Tommy can’t help but laugh with him, clinging tightly to this bright life he’s managed to build with Evan at his side.A month later, Tommy doesn’t know if he considers himself a video game person. But he does know with one hundred percent certainty that he is absolutely an Evan Buckley person. And, hopefully, depending on Evan’s answer when he finds Tommy at the end of this corn maze, mermaid pendant in hand (and a small velvet black box in his back pocket), a Evan Kinard person.'
