    Summary

    "I can't believe you went for boba without me and you liked it." Buck fakes a faint and falls back into Eddie's shoulder playfully. Eddie smacks at him and grabs him by the waist to hoist him fully upright. May watches the way his hands linger for a moment, and then as if sensing her eyes, he pulls back and slaps them against his waist.

    "Are you alright?" Buck looks at Eddie with concern.

    May watches Eddie's face panic, and being the wonderful human she is, she falls on the sword instead, "I'm having a gay crisis."

    Or: When May's sexuality crisis hits a little too close to home for Eddie the two of them join forces to create May-and-Eddie-Mondays as they navigate their queer identities.

    Summary

    “Are you finally proposing?” Buck asks, and the air rushes out of Eddie like he’s been punched in the gut, a swift burst.

    Hearing it from Buck makes it real, solidified, no longer a shapeless fantasy in his head.

    "Proposing what?”

    “Marriage, genius.” Buck snorts. “Duh.”

    Buck peels Eddie's pomegranates, carves out the brown spots from his apples, eats the ugly, discolored fruit. Eddie wants to propose, spirals, and crashes a car about it.

    Summary

    Through his cracked-open window, he can hear traffic in the distance. The sound is clearer at night. It's temperature inversion—he learned that long enough ago that he doesn't remember who told him, but if it wasn't a teacher it was probably Buck. At night, the ground cools, chilling the air near the surface, refracting sounds so they travel farther. It's not an echo, but it's something like it.

    In his room, in the warm yellow light, his mattress shifts as someone sits down, and Chris thinks about echoes.

    Summary

    He’d shoved the envelope into his pocket, fingers tightening around it like holding it too carefully might make it more real. Around him, everyone else slipped out quietly, one by one, each of them clearly ready or at least willing to face whatever Bobby had left behind for them.

    But Eddie stayed seated, and he was the last to leave.

    Not because he needed more time, but because he already knew he didn’t want to read it.

    He couldn’t read it.

    Or; After Bobby’s death, everyone at the 118 receives a letter he wrote before he passed. Eddie gets his and overwhelmed by guilt and grief, he doesn’t open it right away. Instead, he spirals, goes out, drinks too much, hooks up with a guy, and loses the letter.

    Summary

    Eddie’s eyes snap open, his vision blurry and disoriented as he registers the unmistakable form of a toddler sitting on his sternum. His cheeks are round, blonde curls a mess and a pacifier is dangling half out of his mouth.

    The kid is also patting his face like a bongo drum.

    “Hi,” the child says, grinning wildly, just before the pacifier drops directly onto Eddie’s cheek.

    He sits up with a jolt, instinct taking over and the kid topples sideways with a giggle, landing in the space beside him on the bed.

    “What the fuck?” Eddie mutters, fully awake and adrenaline rising as he looks up and sees Buck… who is lying casually on the other side of the bed cradling another child.

    “Don’t swear,” Buck says absently, like he’s not currently holding an unknown child.

    “Don’t… did you just say don’t swear? Who the hell—” Eddie stammers, his eyes darting between the two kids and Buck.

    “It’s us,” Buck says, like that explains anything, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

    Or; Eddie makes a wish by accident and it comes true. So he and Buck spends the day with their younger selves aging up three years every time they falls asleep.

    Orr; Take two, times two… in threes?
