Summary
Shoto was left gasping for breath against the ground, bloody and beaten, after his battle with his own brother. He's pretty sure that he's not going to make it, there's too much blood, and he's all alone. He's really, really scared. He doesn't want to die. Not now, not yet. Soon enough, he's able to ask for help, but it's futile anyway.
Shoto's almost certain he's going to die, but he's especially scared because there's no one by his side.

Summary
“You know what they say,” Buck replied. “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Isn’t that right, Eddie?”
Bobby looked up, then, glancing back and forth between the two of them—Buck, giving Eddie his best lovesick puppy dog eyes, Eddie ignoring him. “What’s going on here?” he asked.
“Oh, we’d need several psychologists to unpack that,” said Hen. “Maybe an anthropologist, too.”
Next to her, Ravi grimaced and explained, “I said something stupid earlier, and now Buck has been flirting with Eddie all day, to drive us insane.”
----
Buck starts flirting with Eddie. As a joke, obviously.

Summary
When Buck moved to LA he was following a true purpose: He was going to be a firefighter for the LAFD. He put in the work, the studying the training, all to have that dream ripped away from him a month before graduating the academy. Buck needed to adjust his path finding himself working as a 9-1-1 Emergency Dispatcher in attempt to answer the calling that brought him to LA.
Buck still manages to find family with the 118.
~
When Bobby asked what made him decide on firefighting Buck attempted to doge the question, "You're gonna laugh."
"Try me," Bobby shrugged.
"I saw a movie," Buck answered. Bobby snorted.
"I told you."
Bobby smiled, "You just seem the type. You see a cool stunt on TV?"
Buck resisted the urge to sneer a bit while he defended himself, "No. Well, I mean. Okay, yeah, the stunts were cool but I really liked the brotherhood, you know?"
Bobby lifted an eyebrow. Buck corrected, "Or, siblinghood, whatever. The team. Having people have my back, it was a nice thought."
Bobby hummed, "You're really caught up on this whole team stuff, huh?"
Buck flashed a teasing grin, "So just my luck I get a loner mentor."

Summary
“Buck Buckley?” he asked, his accent deeper now, rougher around the edges like morning gravel. “What are you doin’ all the way out here?”
Buck had to mentally slap himself. Snap out of it, Buckley.
Words. Use your words.
“I was, uh… out for a run. Sir.”
The ‘sir’ slipped out automatically. Was he still a ‘sir’ without the uniform?
The man didn’t correct him, just nodded toward the bridge. “Don’t cross that thing. It’s more for show than use. Shouldn’t really even be standin’ on it. You got that?”or
Buck is in trouble again, only this time Bobby seems to think that a little vacation from home would do him good.
Bobby sends him to a kind of summer camp for adults, a camp whose existence Buck would have signed a petition against long ago if he had known about it.
Nevertheless, he has no choice but to go to Texas for three months. But when he meets his very attractive instructors on the first day, he wonders whether the whole time there might not be so bad after all.

Summary
"Hear me out," Buck said. "Clearly, both of us are sick of dating other people. And we're a good fit, in pretty much every way that matters. So what if we're not in love? We don't need to be in love to be happy together."
Eddie frowned. "So basically, we'd be boyfriends, without benefits?"
"Yes!" Buck snapped his fingers. "Like platonic boyfriends! We'd get all the benefits of a relationship and none of the heartbreak."
And maybe Eddie had finally lost his mind, or maybe it was from all the alcohol clouding his judgment, but the idea of it didn't sound half as crazy as it should have.
***
After Buck’s and Eddie’s dates both end with disasters – proving once again that maybe dating just wasn’t meant for them – they decide to simply settle for each other. If there was one person in the world they'd ever trust with their hearts, it was each other. And who was a better person to date other than your very own best friend?Series
