    Summary

    Eddie makes little cooing noises in his throat, letting them rumble in his chest. It used to work with Christopher, the vibrations lulling him to sleep, and Eddie’s hoping it works here too. He keeps his body as relaxed as possible, completely in contrast to Theo’s tense little bundle of bones, letting Theo cry on his chest. His sobs don’t lessen, but they get a little less louder with every second. “Okay, honey. You’re okay.”

    Theo’s sobs taper off to hiccups as Eddie walks them through the house—three laps of the living room, twice round the kitchen, and all throughout the guest bedroom—buying Buck just a little more time. He talks about everything and nothing—Christopher’s latest project that Eddie does not understand, the new kid at Jee’s school, the latest recipe Bobby’s been teaching Eddie to surprise Buck, Athena’s surprise party next week, Pepa’s latest boyfriend. He talks and talks, walking up and down the house with Theo, scratching his hair the whole time.

    It works. Miraculously, it works.

    —eddie calms theo down.

    Summary

    Eddie slides his key in and twists the knob, letting himself in, and the warmth surrounding the hall in contrast to the cold weather outside greets him, easing his nerves in an instant.

    On one end of the couch, Buck is fast asleep, sunken deep into the cushions with his head resting against the backrest, his hands in his hoodie's pockets and face slack, curls sticking out freely.

    He leans in and brushes his lips over Buck's forehead, but his face drops in a slightly confused frown when the skin underneath his lips feels a little warm.

    Huh. Weird.

    *

    Buck gets hurt. Then he gets sick.

    Summary

    Buck has been through a lot, but this might be the hardest thing he's ever had to do.

    Eddie won't let him do it alone.

    .

    Tears roll down Buck’s cheeks.

    “Bobby would be so disappointed in me,” he says, voice crackling.

    “No,” Eddie says fiercely, shaking his head. He places his hands on either side of Buck’s too-pale face, forcing him to meet his eyes. “No, he wouldn’t."

    Summary

    “Mr. Diaz!” The doctor said, holding her hand up as she stepped in front of him. “Mr. Buckley came in extremely confused. I know the restraints are upsetting–”

    “Upsetting?” Eddie spat out, two seconds away from shoving her out of his way. 

    “—But they're for his and our safety.” The doctor was quick to finish as if Eddie hadn’t said anything. 

    “Your safety?” Eddie demanded. “He was just tied up by some psycho couple out in the desert and you’re concerned about your safety?”

    Things don't go as smoothly at the hospital as they should.

    Summary

    “I— I should get out of your hair,” he says.

    Eddie turns to look at him, the movement sharp. There’s a look on his face that looks like he thinks Buck might have lost his entire mind.

    “Did you hit your head on something?” he asks drily, like he knows that Buck didn’t. Buck hesitates anyway.

    “Uh,” he says ineloquently. “I don’t think so.”

    “Then why are you saying things that don’t make any sense?”

    in other words, the diaz boys take buck home with them after the tsunami.
