    Summary

    Be kind to yourself, Cassie says in his head, soft and gentle. But Frank can’t. There is no world in which he can be kind to a version of himself that hurts Robby, especially sober. He’s supposed to be better now; he’s spent ten months clawing his way back inch by inch to being a person instead of a loose collection of hurts and cravings and spikes that pierced anyone nearby. But it seems that the version of himself that can connect with Robby, see eye-to-eye with him, talk to him without feeling like a gut punch, died the day of Pittfest last year.

    --

    Three conversations between Langdon and Robby, after Langdon's return.

    Summary

    Bob nods slowly. There’s a quiet between them that feels full, not empty. And then, after a moment, he steps forward and hugs John—just presses his forehead into his shoulder, breathing in the warmth of him. John wraps his arms around him without hesitation, his hand resting on the back of Bob’s neck.

    Bob tries to navigate through his unlabeled relationship with John, while violently ignoring the dark pull that is slowly dragging him down.

    Summary

    John grins sharply. “Hit me, Bobby. Come on. Fist. Not that floating crap.”

    Bob’s jaw tightens. “Don’t call me that.”

    John doesn’t apologize, just shrugs under him. “Hit me then.”

    Bob hesitates again. Then he pulls his arm back—still straddling John—and goes for it. A clean punch, not fast, but committed.

    John is lonely and somewhat depressed, but so is Bob. Somewhere along the line, they get used to each other’s silences, odd as they find it.

    Summary

    Eddie leaving wasn’t some sudden, earth-shattering event.

    Well, it was earth-shattering for Buck. It was world-tilting, gravity-defying, the kind of shift that left everything off-kilter, as if someone had reached inside his chest and twisted. Like standing in the ocean when the tide drags the sand from beneath his feet, leaving him wobbling, unsteady, bracing for a wave that never comes.

    Like standing on the pier, watching the wave looming over and being stuck in place. 

    (or, buck spends ninety six days missing eddie, and then he spends another twelve gathering up the courage to tell him he loves him)

    Summary

    Helena and Ramon are watching closely, meaning Buck is hyper-aware of his proximity to Eddie. Having spent the last month only stepping out of each other’s space to use the toilet and work, it’s borderline excruciating not being able to give Eddie’s hand a reassuring squeeze or place a grounding kiss on his forehead. Eddie meets his gaze over Christopher’s head and flashes him a tight smile, before grabbing his parents’ bags and hauling them inside.

    or

    The one where Buck and Eddie get together while Chris is in Texas and have to pretend they're not when his parents bring Chris home. It goes about as well as you think it would

    Summary

    “Where are we?” Eddie yawns. “Aside from the obvious.”

    “Bakersfield,” Buck answers quietly as he pays the cashier and pulls forward to the next window. “Felt like my stomach was starting to eat itself, figured you’d be hungry too.”

    “Famished,” Eddie replies, taking the food Buck hands him. Opening the bag he finds exactly what he would have ordered for himself had he been awake. He stares at the food, unblinking as he turns to look at Buck (who has pulled in to a parking space so they can eat).

    or

    The one where Buck remembers everything about Eddie (including obscure fast food orders for a place they haven't been to together for two years).

    Summary

    “Why exactly are you looking up statistics on single dads?” Bobby asks. Buck shrugs just a little too casually and continues scrolling on his phone.

    “Yeah, why not single mothers?” Eddie pipes up.

    “Do you see any single mothers around here?” Buck questions.

    “Do you see any single fathers?” Eddie retorts. The room goes silent, and when he looks up everyone is staring at him. Hen looks confused, Bobby raises an eyebrow at him, Chimney looks like he’s trying not to laugh, and Buck…he can’t read the expression on Buck’s face.

    The one where Eddie forgets he's a single dad

    Summary

    “Edmundo?”

    “Hey, yeah that’s me. Freddie?” Eddie turns in his seat, and it’s fucking Freddie alright.

    “Wow, Texas Edmundo has a thick accent,” Buck snorts as he climbs into the car. “Hey Eddie.”

    “What are you doing here?” Eddie sputters. “What is happening right now?”

    “Do you know how many rides I had to request and cancel to get you?” Buck huffs, buckling his seatbelt and tossing his bag to the floor.

    Summary

    "Can I... can I give you a hickey?"

    Buck's brow furrowed. He leaned against the cabinet next to him, fingers gripping at the countertop. "Eddie, what?"

    "So people know you're mine," Eddie elaborated. He was well aware it didn't make him look any less crazy, but that ship had long since sailed anyways. Probably the moment Eddie had made eye contact with his neck and decided he needed to sink his teeth in.

    "Eddie, you're straight, and we aren't dating."

    _____

    Or, Eddie is definitely not jealous at all, and has a completely normal reaction to strangers talking to Buck.

    Summary

    Everyone knows that when you touch someone who's going to be important to you for the first time, you'll leave a mark on them. It's not just romantic love; parents and children, siblings, close friends all share marks too. At least, they do in theory. Maddie's the only person who's ever touched Buck and left anything behind.
    .
    It’s funny, growing up knowing your parents don’t care about you. The kind of funny that would get Evan uninvited from sleepovers, which is why he always changes into his pajamas in the bathroom. The kind of funny that he’s not allowed to ask his parents about. The kind of funny that makes Maddie look at him so sadly sometimes, when she doesn’t realize he can see her out of the corners of his eyes.

    Summary

    “Eddie,” Buck breathes, laughing humorlessly, his voice wet and thick. “If we sat here and-- and went through the list of things I want…” his hands gesture aimlessly. “We’d-- be here all night.”

    Eddie nods, catching Buck’s eyes again. “Maybe-- we start with mine, then.”

    The space between them feels charged with static, like the second before the thunder finally rumbles.

    -----

    Eddie’s finally choosing to be better-- finally choosing joy. He just needs a push or two in the right direction, first.

    Summary

    “I need someone like you—someone who can keep up with him, and have his back, and maybe eventually even rein him in, should that be a thing that is humanly possible to do,” said Bobby, smiling warmly over the remaining half of his sandwich.

    “Oh, I see,” said Eddie. And he did now. That’s what Bobby’s whole hard sell was about—it wasn’t personal, it was about Eddie being the top of this class. “I know the type. You see guys a lot like that in the military.”

    “Oh, no,” said Bobby, “I didn’t mean to—well, what I mean is, I don’t think you have seen a lot of guys like Buck, to be honest. I don’t think there are a lot of people like him.”

    -----

    Hen & Chim discussing the new probie; Buck's forgotten shield ceremony; Eddie's first shift with the 118.

    Or: three early impressions of Buck, through the eyes of his future found family.

    Summary

    Buck’s speaking again, telling him, “Go dry your hair, baby.”

    And like, he’s stuck in his daydream. Completely crazy about it. So it’s not exactly his fault that he doesn’t register what Buck said until he’s in the bathroom again.

    He straightens his shoulders out and looks at his reflection like maybe he’s actually lost it, but, no, those were real words coming from Buck, who is also real, so—

    ...or, how an accidental pet name, a thoughtful dinner, and a shared shirt gets their shit together.

    Summary

    “You look…tense.”

    “Oh,” Eddie says, dumbly. He looks down at the clenched hands in his lap and tries his best to relax them. He doesn’t dare look up at Chimney again, just—keeps looking down, wriggling his fingers around like he’s testing out if he can still move them. “I—no. Everything’s okay.”

    Okay,” Chimney draws out. Eddie doesn’t need to be looking at him to know he’s sharing a look with Hen. “Your leg bouncing might trigger an earthquake, though.”

    ...or, Buck overcorrects. Eddie spirals.

    Raphael’s trying his best not to be nosy, but his eyes land on Eddie’s screen anyway, and he huffs out a quiet laugh. “My wife sends me stuff like that, too. I don’t know where she finds it.”

    “If she’s anything like Buck, she’s got the oddity section on AP News bookmarked.”

    Eddie’s card makes a soft little beep as he taps it against the machine, and Raphael smiles at him as he tears the receipt off and hands it over. “How long have y’all been together?”

    ...or, everyone in El Paso has lost their minds.

    “Eddie Diaz,” Buck gasps. “Are you using me for my very soft cardigan?”
    Eddie chuckles and tells the truth. “You looked so comfy. And I missed you.”
    Buck sucks in a breath beneath Eddie’s ear. “I missed you, too,” he whispers.
    “I think I missed you too much,” Eddie admits.

     

    Or, Buck wears his pink cardigan and Eddie nap traps him about it.
