In between breaking up fights over teddy bears and watching Postman Pete, Buck is networking like crazy. He wants to live the life he's always wanted -- and by the time she graduates, Buck wants to give Belle the wedding of her dreams. No exceptions.

'Are you really sure? There's not a lot of game dev jobs out here, and Belle won't graduate for a while yet. Can't I at least pay rent?'
'Hey.' Ripp punches his arm, gently. 'I said we'd stick together, and I meant it. I'm already a bad enough brother as is.'

'I'm here! Sorry for all the bags, I swear I won't take up too much space- '
'Oh for fuck's sake, Buck, get over here and give me a hug.'

But when night falls, out come the stars.
(yes, buck thinks, it'll be okay now. like the world has shifted back on its axis)

Graduation sneaks up on them like sunset in summer; you know it's coming, but the fading of the light is still an unwelcome jolt.
'Hey -- isn't that...?'

He's drinking, a lot. Staying up far too late, taking whatever he's offered to numb the fear. He loves Belle, he really does. But Jill is safe, familiar, who he was expected to fall in love with. If he does, maybe he'll feel like he'll be doing something right.

But while Dirk is flourishing and determined to find the love of his life by the end of the school year, Buck...
Well. It's scary to taste freedom when you're so used to a prison. Even if you've got people waiting for you.

It didn't even take a day for Buck to show up on the front porch, a bunch of tulips in hand. Belle's eyes light up when she sees him, and they hug like they can't bear to let each other go. Buzz may be a shit father, but somehow his sons turn out okay.

ACR got me good and uh... Buck and Belle are dating with TRIPLE bolts. If you're struggling keeping track, Belle is Buzz's second wife's kid. But they seem so happy, I actually don't want to meddle for once
Buck's traits: Animal Lover, Neat, Artistic, Never Nude

When the time came, the worst happened; Sherri died in childbirth. Despite pleading, Buzz got nowhere, and while Des tried to comfort her siblings, Buzz just shut down entirely.
