Summary
Buck’s not sure how it happens, but they find themselves falling into a rhythm. Buck goes on dates, not all of them as disastrous as the first, but none that warrant a second one, and afterwards he makes his way over to Eddie’s. They watch TV; they work on Eddie’s yard together; Buck starts teaching Eddie how to be a better cook.
And if Buck finds himself looking forward to seeing Eddie after his dates more than the dates themselves, well, that’s normal, right? It probably means nothing.

Summary
“I hope you don’t plan on hitting me with that,” comes a voice from behind him and when he turns around, he drops the bat out of shock.
It hits the ground with a clank, and he hears two sets of footsteps rush around the corner from the kitchen and Eddie knows, then and there, that he’s truly fucked.
“What the fuck are you doing here?”
Adriana cocks her eyebrow at Eddie as she walks out of the bathroom. “We’ve been worried about you,” she says, “you’re not returning either of our calls.”
or, Eddie's sisters come to visit. "To see the sights," they say. ("Proof of life," Eddie thinks).

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
‘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.

Summary
"Maddie." Eddie’s fear matches her own when they meet each other’s eyes again. “You gotta get out. We don’t have time…”
“I’m not leaving you.”
“What about Jee, Maddie?” Eddie grabs it like the steel frame in his side and jams it straight through her heart. “Who’d you rather leave? Me or her?”
For a moment, she thinks of how simple it would be. How badly she wants to get out. To remove the danger, to remove the possibility of leaving Jee, again, of leaving Chimney again. She could get out of the car. She could survive this.
Some part of her wants to, so bad, but she’s staring at Eddie, and thinking of Buck’s shaking hands after he got shot, thinking of Eddie spinning Christopher at the fire station, thinking of all the things this world has to lose if it loses Eddie Diaz. Thinking of all the things her brother would lose.
Thinking of all the things she would lose.
OR
Eddie and Maddie end up in an impossible situation.

Summary
Sometimes, Eddie feels like he can read exactly what’s going on in Buck’s head just from his face. And other times, times like this…it just feels like looking at a map without a legend.
“Would you want to…” Eddie says, and Buck starts nodding, which spurs him on. “Would you want to come with?”
“Yes, yes, yes, absolutely yes, I want to go get Chris with you.”
Eddie works on identifying his emotions, Chris asks to come home, and Buck has a secret.

Summary
“Be honest with me,” Buck says partway through their meal, “are my pancakes this good?”
Eddie shakes his head solemnly. “Sorry,” he says, “but nothing beats a diner pancake.”
Buck nods. “I just wish I could figure out how they do it. It’s gotta be the grill top right? Or the butter they use?”
“Probably the fact that five million other meals have been made on the same surface,” Eddie muses, finishing off his second cup of coffee. “You’ll never compete.”
“Not with that attitude,” Buck replies with a grin, and it’s that cheeky, challenging grin that Eddie has never been able to resist, not since the first day they climbed into the back of an ambulance together. He never can think straight when it’s trained on him.
“Guess you’ll just have to cook me five million more breakfasts to find out,” Eddie says.
He watches as the tips of Buck’s ears go red, but the challenging look doesn’t leave his eyes. “Guess so,”

Summary
The thing Frank said in their first session that kind of stuck was that it’s okay if Shannon wasn’t the love of his life. It’s okay that he loved her, but he might love somebody else more in the future. Moving on is proof of growing.
So, that’s what Eddie has been doing. Moving on.
But then, that meant Eddie had to abandon the belief he should be finding Christopher a mother, and start thinking about what he wanted.
Which opened a whole new can of worms.
OR
On Buck's birthday, things start to look up. It's all uphill from there.

Summary
“What are you doing here?” he asks his niece when she starts squirming back out of his embrace, carefully setting her down. He almost asks if she ran away from home, because he knows it would make her giggle, but thinks better of it. “Tea party? And I wasn't invited?”
“She's hanging out with her uncle Eddie today,” Eddie says, leaning back on his hands. He's smiling when he looks up at Buck, a real smile, and his whole face scrunches happily when Jee-Yun crashes into his side.
Buck feels like he needs to look away, but he has no idea how.
or: one toddler, two conversations, and so many missed opportunities for buck to act like a guy not in love with his best friend.

If you’d asked Eddie back in May what rock bottom looked like, it was his son leaving him. That felt like it; everything ruined so entirely that there was no way to ruin it further.
There’s always more to lose.

Summary
"Though—and I know you probably don't want to talk about it, but since you and Natalia are over with now, I've been wondering…" Maddie pauses, watches Buck make a face like he's bracing to be smacked. "What happened with Eddie?"
Buck stops wincing and just blinks at her for a second. Then he says, "What?"
"You two were dancing around it for so long, and then… what, it just didn't work out? Was the date really that bad?"
She's expecting another wince, or even for him to duck out of the conversation entirely, but instead Buck is staring at her like she's grown a second head. "Maddie. I've never been on a date with Eddie."
-
Or: the poker game was a date. It takes Buck a while to catch on, though.
