    Summary

    “Eddie, you’re scaring me,” Buck says in the quiet of the room. “Do you-- do you know what day it is?”

    “Friday,” Eddie answers, tongue thick like his throat is stuffed with cotton.

    “Yeah,” Buck confirms. “And-- do you know my full name?”

    Eddie swallows. “Evan Buckley,” he says definitively, but--

    He finally turns to look at Buck’s face, and it’s like he’s waiting for Eddie to keep going. Like Eddie had gotten it wrong. Buck’s face melts, his brows pinched together, and Eddie--

    He doesn’t know what the hell is going on.

    -----

    Eddie loves every version of Buck. And Buck? Well, he’s starting to realize every version of Buck loves him right back. If only Eddie could get back home to tell him that.

    Summary

    Buck keeps him everywhere. He’s smuggling him into every inch left vacant, because like this, he doesn’t lose him, won’t lose him. Like this, he gets to keep Eddie forever, even if it’s just the pieces and the memories attached. The reminder of him will haunt him and this apartment like a ghost. Because Buck can’t trap him in his apartment and force him to stay, he’d never ask that, couldn’t ask that, but he’s going to damn well do his best to salvage it in some form. He’s kidnapping Eddie’s shadow, no matter how much it hurts, and there’s no choice about it.

    Eddie announces he’s leaving. Buck, naturally, begins a slow descent to madness.

    [ALT. summary: Buck has resolved to be the greatest friend ever. He’s handling this move so well. And not at all being abnormal about Eddie’s house. Or Eddie’s belongings. Or, well. Eddie.]

    Summary

    If Buck could go back to all those weeks ago and tell himself that this idea would place at the top of the list of his monumentally stupid ideas, he would do it in a heartbeat. He would knock some sense into his own head, or let Maddie do it for him.

    But here he is now, and a time machine, unfortunately, hasn’t been invented yet.

    Here he is now, with Eddie boring into his eyes after that. After realizing he’s been caught red-handed. Except, the implication Eddie’s just made means he’s been sitting on this. And, holy hell.

    Eddie breathes out, his chest puffing out noticeably.

    “Not so quick to answer when the tables are turned, are you?”

    ____

    OR Buck ends up asking Eddie the thirty-six questions to fall in love. And really, what’s the worst that could happen?

    Summary

    “Laundry’s done,” Buck tells him softly. “Do you want your own clothes?”

    Eddie’s bottom lip is tugged between his teeth as he fiddles with the drawstring of Buck’s hoodie. He ties it into a bow, pulling the hood over his face. “No,” he says, voice tired and uncharacteristically small. “This way at least I can—smell this. You. Still—” he inhales raggedly, “—smells like home.”

     

    or, sometimes the hardest part about missing someone is the forgetting, and sometimes the hardest part about loving someone is just being there without a fix. eddie and buck are managing, though

    Summary

    “Hi, I’m Buck, a firefighter with the 136,” for now, the thought crashes through Buck, leaving a sour taste in his mouth. “Uh, you’re both welcome to take a tour with us, if you’d like.” Buck awkwardly scratches at his neck, running a hand through his hair, unsure what else to do, and it spurs the man in front of him to take a large step forward up to Buck’s bed.

    “Eddie,” he says, thrusting a hand to him, and Buck reaches over without a second thought. His whole palm feels electric, it smarts and carries the touch of Eddie, Eddie, that Buck feels it completely. He has no idea what’s happening to him. “Edmundo Diaz, but just Eddie though, uh, no one calls me Edmundo. Right. I’m a new nurse here, at Cedars-Senai. Oh –”

    ***

    When Daniel Buckley lives a little longer, Evan Buckley dies a little more. And this is how Eddie Diaz saves him, a little later on.
