Oh. [ The syllable falls from Buck's lips, embarrassing and far too loud.
It's not that he has had any bad experiences, that he had been forced into anything other than what he was comfortable with. But if it wasn't that, what was it?
Buck takes a big gulp of his own beer, to pass the time, to cover up the fact that he has no idea what to say to it.
Then Drake utters that question and Buck's mind? Is just blank. ]
I-uh, I guess, just because ... it is sex city here, isn't it? [ He did the normal things anyway, cleaning up and cooking and taking care of someone else. It's his way of sliding into someone's space and staying there, even if just for a short while.
In most cases, with people he'd met before here, they were flirting with him. On the finder for example but elsewhere, too. So if they didn't get him that way ... then why would they let him stick around? ]
I ... I don't know. [ And rather than look at Drake, Buck focuses on peeling the label off his bottle with his nails. They are too short for this kinda thing, so it's hard, which is good because it takes longer. ]
