    Summary

    "It"s just such a blessing," Margaret agreed to something Maddie must"ve said - something that Buck missed. "At first we thought we"d never become grandparents and now at least one of our children is giving us not just one but two!"

    Buck froze in his seat.

    The rest of the table did too.

    Everyone but Margaret and Phillip Buckley.

    Buck didn"t even notice the stronger hold on his hand before Eddie spoke up, almost snapping, "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

    Or, Buck and Eddie fake date over the holidays when Buck"s parents come to town.

    Summary

    He narrows his eyes at the sight of Eddie having a rather friendly conversation with someone. He was talking to a firefighter from the 133. The firefighter was a guy. A male firefighter, by the way.

    Or: Eddie has a new old friend. Buck loses his cool. Likely thing to happen.

    Summary

    Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.

    But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.

    Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.

     

    (or, gerrard messes with the team"s schedules and eddie "i just drove my son to flee the state" diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn"t be a problem at all, right?)

    Summary

    “Your safety is my priority right now. How long have you been thinking about this?” he repeats.

    Eddie wants to tell him that it only happened yesterday, but then he thinks about quarantine, and when Shannon died, and when she left for LA after he was discharged, and when he found out Chris was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and when Shannon told him she was pregnant, and when he was ten and his dad yelled at him for crashing his new truck because his mom was in labor and nobody was around to take her to the hospital. He thinks about how he wanted to disappear every time, wished for something to kill him so that he didn’t have to face his fears, deal with reality. It hits him like his dad’s truck hit the tree.

    “Since I was in elementary school,” he admits breathlessly.

    Summary

    ‘I always wanted to be a Jedi as a kid. A long con for Halloween costumes would’ve just meant you secretly read my mind or something.’
    ‘I am pretty good at that sometimes.’
    Buck smiles at him, fond, and Eddie aches, he aches so much to tell Buck all the things about his big stupid gay awakening that he couldn’t tell his best friend when he came out to him during a quiet night sometime after Chris first texted him back in the summer. All the things that are so intimately tied to Buck.
    ‘You are,’ Buck says, quiet, eyes sparkling and Eddie’s a stronger man than he thought because he doesn"t get on one knee in the middle of the kitchen and propose to another man"s boyfriend. ‘Really good. At that.’

    -----

    It"s Halloween, Chris is heading back to Texas for a few days and Frank gives Eddie therapy homework to do something for himself, to let himself want things. Eddie enlists Buck"s help and something shifts between them in the following week.
