    Summary

    Eddie starts giving Buck gold star stickers for doing basic responsible-adult things.

    Buck complains about it constantly.

    He also keeps every single one.

    Then Christopher and Theo get involved, the whole thing gets wildly out of hand, and Buck discovers that apparently fifty gold stars gets you an Eddie.

    Summary

    “Would you marry me?”

    Eddie stared at him.

    Buck stared back.

    The refrigerator hummed. The monitor hissed faintly. Eddie could hear his own pulse, which seemed dramatic and unhelpful.

    “What?” Eddie said.

    Buck looked down, then back up. “Not like. I mean, legally. For Theo. For the stability thing.”

    Eddie’s mouth had gone dry.

    Buck kept talking. He did that when he was nervous. Built a whole staircase of words and then tried to jump down it. “I know it sounds insane. I know. And I’m not asking because I’m freaking out. I mean, I am always a little bit freaking out, but that’s not why. I’m asking because if I had to pick someone to have legal standing with Theo, someone who already shows up and knows him and knows me, it would be you.”

    Eddie said nothing.

    Buck’s face tightened. “You can say no.”

    “I know.”

    Summary

    “You got one too,” Theo pointed, touching the beauty mark under Eddie’s eye.

    Eddie felt his cheeks go red. “Not a birthmark, just a mark.”

    “I want it,” Theo said determinedly, walking back to the table to grab his pens. Eddie really should have told him to stop drawing on his face, but he just watched in awe as Theo grabbed a brown marker and ran off to the bathroom.

    When Theo returned to the living room a few moments later, he had drawn a small, brown dot underneath his eye to match Eddie’s. He was looking up at Eddie through his lashes, beaming with pride at the spot he’d created.

    Eddie lost it.

    OR; Eddie Diaz knows he is in love with Evan Buckley. Theo's cuteness sends him into a crisis. He's a yearner, your honour.

    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

    "Come on, Buck. Let it out. I hate this, too. I hate leaving you. Tell me how much you hate it. Yell at me, Buck. Come on, yell at me,” he begs.

    Buck snaps. He pushes off the couch and crowds into Eddie’s space.

    “Is this what you wanted?” He spits, pushing hard enough against Eddie’s chest that he takes a step backwards. “Hmm? You want me to lose it on you?”

     

    Or, Eddie cannot handle Buck pretending to be fine about his move to Texas. He, in fact, refuses to let him.

    Instantly heartbreaking then so so good and sweet. “Yeah, but you love me anyway.” “I do love you. I love you all of the ways.”
