BuckTommy | Tommy Kinard POV | complete | 4.8K | ao3
Summary: In which Tommy slowly realizes that 'letting Evan set the pace' means committing to a life of full speed ahead. (And he's more than happy to chase after him.)
Tommy wasn’t reckless. He took calculated risks. Ones that usually paid off like weighing his flying skills and a life debt against a hurricane.
Or, standing in the warm light of a kitchen, recalibrating everything he thought he knew about Evan Buckley and deciding between one heartbeat and the next to lean in for a gentle kiss…
* He took a moment, keeping his eyes closed after their lips parted, not quite ready to breathe yet and face any potential fallout. He wanted to savour the feeling of Evan’s mouth. Memorize it.

* The date was a miscalculation.
Evan was delightful funny intriguing …adorable, but he wasn’t ready. Tommy hated to walk away even when he knew it was the right choice. He’d been down that road before—more times than was good for him and he couldn’t let himself throw caution to the wind to do it again.
Especially because he really, really wanted to…
But Tommy wasn’t willing to risk that crash and burn.
* After that failed first attempt, a week of trying to get Evan off his mind, and a second chance where ‘I think maybe that something could be with you’ was followed up with ‘Come with me to my sister’s wedding’, Tommy realized that he might take calculated risks, but Evan…
Evan took leaps of faith.
