Summary
“A star?” he whispered.
Eddie nodded slowly. “Yeah.”
“A silver one?”
“Yes.”
Theo turned to Buck, whispering louder. “Buck.”
“I know.”
“Buck.”
“Yeah.”
“He has a star.”
Buck’s expression shifted before he could stop it. Pride first. Then something warmer underneath, something Eddie did not have the emotional bandwidth to inspect too closely.
“I know,” Buck said softly.
Then, because Buck had apparently decided Eddie didn’t deserve to survive dinner, he added, “Eddie’s kind of a big deal.”

Summary
Bending down, Eddie scoops the boy up, settling him on his hip with a swing. He jostles him playfully before focusing back on Ana.
“This is Theo,” he says, feeling Theo tilt his head against the crook of his neck at the sound of his name. “He joined pre-k here in May, didn’t you?”
Eddie brushes a clump of hair out of Theo’s eyes, tucking it behind his ear. It springs back to place immediately, unrestrained and uncontrolled. He really is due a haircut, but any time he or Buck mention it, Theo’s arms fly up to protect his hair like they’re going to hack away at it right there and then.
“Yes,” Theo says, voice lispy and a little shy as he blinks at Ana. “Are you a teacher?”

Summary
Buck comes back to the 118 prepared for anger, awkwardness, and cold shoulders.
He isn’t prepared for the silence.
As the distance between him and the team grows wider, Buck makes a choice: stop reaching, stop hoping, and stop trying to be what they need.
He’ll show up. He’ll do the work.
Nothing more.

Summary
“Asked me if I was the Chinese food delivery guy on my first day.” Chim contributed in a whisper, like he was afraid Buck might wake up and hear. Maybe he felt disloyal admitting it now. It was no secret to anyone paying attention how much Chim loved Buck, even if he often pretended to be exasperated with him.
Hen nodded solemnly. “One of the many people who wouldn’t even acknowledge me when I started.”
It was news to Eddie, and apparently Ravi too, but not Cap, who resolutely stared down at the table in front of him, shaking his head.
“Oh, so he fucking sucks.” Ravi contributed casually, never one to pull punches with his thoughts.
No one responded, but the agreement was in the air.
OR -
Eddie starts gathering information about why no one trusts Tommy. As he grows to hate their relationship more, he learns more about himself and what he wants.

Summary
He doesn’t want to go. There’s so much here for him—so much to fight for, but he’s been fighting for so long, and there’s only so much he can do when he’s pinned and bleeding steadily. There’s not much to fight anymore except God, and God’s seemingly made a choice.
And, just as Buck was finally starting to understand, too.
Sniffing, he asks, voice cracking, “Eddie?”
He’s scared. There’ve been so many close calls, but not quite as close as this, and he’s terrified, but there’s too much to say. Too much on the line. He can’t let the fear keep him quiet anymore. He’s wasted so much time on being afraid, and now he’s run out, and he just—
He needs Eddie to know.
--
or, Buck's dying.
