Summary
“Sid, I’m so—I’m sorry,” Geno said. “My stupid—I’m ruin everything, I—”
“Shut up, Geno,” Sidney said, already intensely weary of listening to Geno’s self-recrimination. “You’ve barely even done anything.”
Geno’s voice dropped what sounded like an entire octave. “But I want to.”

Summary
Because here’s the thing about Buck. The thing about Buck is that he likes simple sentences. Easy to follow instructions. When, where, what, how. Buck is smart, of course, and he can understand and infer and deduct from context clues and body language. Technically. Technically, he can do these things. But he prefers not to. He doesn’t like to guess. He doesn’t like to guess, because guessing makes him nervous. And Buck hates being nervous. Doesn’t everyone?
But Buck hates it more than most. Buck likes reassurance, he likes knowing things for certain. Because if he doesn’t know for certain, he’ll stress and he’ll ruminate and he’ll twist himself inside out and backwards wondering and worrying and assuming the worst. And when Buck assumes the worst, he makes terrible decisions. So it’s just easier this way. It’s easier to cut the middle man and for Eddie to decide things for Buck.

Buck moves out of Eddie's house in Los Angeles. A month later, Eddie and Christopher move back in.

Summary
Once everyone heads off to the bunks after dinner, Buck wastes no time in dragging one of the stools from the kitchen over to the Tetris cabinet, where he, too, settles in as if he were getting into bed.
The cabinet is new but the interface is a replica of the original, and when he boots the monitor up, Buck is faced with pixelated fireworks and a cartoon version of Saint Basil’s Cathedral. He nudges the red joystick and the main menu pops up. The left side of the screen reads YOUR GOAL IS TO FILL LINES!
Buck cracks his knuckles.
or, Buck plays Tetris. And a lot of it.

Summary
Eventually, Eddie clears his throat. “How aren’t you okay exactly?” he asks, voice steady.
“I’m just…” He waves a hand in the air. “I’m just not,” he settles on. “You know, I wanted to be. I really tried. But nothing is helping.” He thinks about what it was like to sit on that floor and know Bobby was going to die. He thinks about what it was like to know he couldn’t do anything about it. “Don’t think I ever really got off that floor.”
Eddie hums. “That sounds rough,” he says, voice strained. Buck can tell he’s holding himself back, and of course he is. They haven’t talked like this before. This was the only way for Eddie to get Buck to open up—and why did it have to be? Why couldn’t Buck just talk to him? “Do you feel stuck there?” he asks. He’s looking down at the clipboard he brought with him. “On that floor?” he clarifies a moment later.
Eddie acts as Buck’s therapist.

“So,” says Buck, pulling away from Eddie’s mouth. “I’m living in your house.”
“You are."
“Do you think— I mean, I should do something, right? To show my, uh. Appreciation.”
Eddie squints at him.
“Is this a bit?” he says.

“Yeah,” Chim said. “Yeah, Maddie’ll be glad to see you. Where’ve you been lately?”
“Yeah,” Eddie said. His tone was pointed. “Been wondering that myself.”
“Oh,” Buck said. “You know.”
“I don’t,” Eddie said. “Actually.”
“At my new place, mostly,” Buck said. Eddie raised his eyebrows.

Summary
Eddie tries to peek out the windows to see what's out there as he approaches the door, but Buck moves to obstruct his view. "Hey, uh. So. I found … uh, this piece of furniture, on Marketplace. And if you hate it, it's fine. No biggie! I just … it was such a good deal!"
They don't need more furniture. In fact, they actively need less, so Buck wouldn't buy something new without a really good reason.
"Okay, Buck, I trust you. What did you get?"
"It's … I guess, I mean, um. Well, I think you should just come see." Buck turns around before Eddie can reply and heads out the front door.
Eddie stays hot on his heels for barely even one square of sidewalk, stopping in his tracks when he sees the bright red metal frame that's strapped down in Buck's truck bed. It's upright, so Eddie has a clear view of what Buck picked up for them.
It's bunk beds.
Buck and Eddie try to process their grief about Bobby's death and figure out what they mean to each other, all while squeezed into Eddie's two-bedroom house.

Summary
“I don’t know what to do,” Buck admits, defeated.
Eddie blinks. “You…don’t know how to floss?”
Buck glares at him. “Obviously I know how to floss,” he sasses, which is a good point. Eddie has seen him do it hundreds of times. Buck is very diligent with his oral hygiene. “I just don’t know whether I should. It’s not sexy. I wouldn’t usually, if I - - y’know, historically, at this point,” he says, gesturing between them. “I wouldn’t.”
Or, Eddie is a low maintenance sleeper. Buck tries to explode his snoring strips with his mind.

Summary
“Buck—” Eddie breathed as he hurried over, “Hey, Buck—”
Buck lifted his eyes, they widened when he met Eddie’s gaze, “Eddie, I—” He tried to move, but was easily pulled back, “I’m sorry.”
Eddie rushed to reassure, “It’s okay, look…” He got onto one knee, sitting Christopher down, he looped his arms under his son’s, and turned him, so that he was facing Buck, “Look who it is.”
Christopher extended his hand, gently laying it across Buck’s cheek, “Buck.”

Summary
Buck was told, after being struck by lightning, that it would take time for things to heal. That, after dying, he might not feel like himself again right away.
What he hadn’t been told was that he would start seeing his dead brother everywhere he went.
Or: Buck comes back for himself, but he comes back wrong.

Summary
And it’s probably the wrong thing to say, but Christopher is just— he’s so angry, he’s so angry and he wants to lash out at someone.
“I wish you and Dad had never even met!” With that, Christopher actually goes into his room, and Buck doesn’t stop him, or say anything.
He lays down on his bed, burying his face in his pillow, and finally lets out the rest of the tears he’d been holding back.

or, Christopher makes a wish and the universe grants it

Summary
“I think Buck is pregnant.”
Hen slots her glasses back onto her wrinkled nose and says, “What, can you smell it on him?”
That shakes Eddie out of it a little. “What? No, his birthmark.”
The wrinkled nose is paired with an eyebrow raise, and Hen tilts her head a fraction. “What about his birthmark?” she asks slowly, like she’s talking to a child or a mental patient.
“It kind of…glows?”
Hen, his current captain, his former partner, one of his best friends, looks at Eddie like he’s lost his mind.
“Boy, if you don’t get out of my office so we can go home.”
or, Buck is pregnant. Eddie just doesn't know how to tell him.

Summary
“What happens to me when you guys get divorced?”
The question is so abrupt it takes Buck a couple of seconds to fully process it.
In that time, Christopher turns his head so his eyes settle on Buck’s and this time Buck doesn’t push away the need to shelter him, he embraces the feeling just as he embraces Christopher, one arm wrapping around Christopher’s shoulders. Christopher leans his body against Buck, and Buck’s heart soars and hurts in equal measures.
“When we— Chris, what?"

Summary
“You don’t have to do that,” Eddie says.
Buck shrugs. “You also don’t have to smile at every person who says ‘she’s in a better place’ like that helps, but here we are.”
The joke is soft, an opening. Eddie almost steps into it. “You’ve already done a lot,” Eddie says instead, faster than he means. “Go sit. Or eat. It’s—”
He hears it lining up and can’t stop it.
“—this is family stuff. I’ve got it.” The words are wrong the second they’re out; he hears them like Buck must. Buck’s hands still on the plate.
Or, Eddie is taking things day by day. Buck has a bit of a breakdown, then a bit of a breakthrough. Chris sees dead people.

Summary
"Oh Eddie…" Buck leans closer, putting a hand on Eddie’s back but Eddie’s faster,, pouncing on Buck, connecting their mouths together in a wet sobby mess.
Buck will hate himself his whole life for leaning into it for a whole second but he turns his face away, deeply conscious of the fact that a drunk grieving Eddie is not consenting.
"Please…" Eddie sobs, his nose against Buck’s cheek. "Please Buck…"

Summary
Eddie says the first thing that pops into his head to prove Hen wrong, feeling her eyes boring holes into his back: “Let’s go camping this weekend.”
Buck stares at him in incredulous surprise for an awkwardly long amount of time before finally saying, slowly, like he’s talking to a patient with a head injury, “You want to go camping? This weekend? As in tomorrow? With me?”

Eddie hums. “I definitely don’t have ADHD,” he notes.
“No, I didn’t think you did,” Buck says.
“You have ADHD.”
Buck huffs. “Hey, we’re talking about you.”
Eddie’s brows furrow, and when he realizes what Buck is trying to say he blinks hard, tilting his head. “You…think I’m autistic?”
Eddie and Buck take the RAADS-R together.

Summary
Moving to LA and joining the LAFD, Eddie had planned to keep his head down. His only plan was to get through his shifts, take care of his son, and figure out this whole "single dad" gig for the sake of his little boy. He didn't plan to focus all that much on making new friends. He certainly didn't plan to keep date-crashing Carla's handsome teacher-friend with the birthmark just over his eye.
~~~
Eddie barely has time to start the car before Chris is asking, "Dad, did you know dinosaurs had feathers?"
Eddie chuckles, setting the radio to a nineties station on low volume, "I did not know that, bud."
"It's true! Buck told me!" But with Chris's youthful lisp the name was still pronounced like "Duck."
"Oh, well if Buck said so it must be true," Eddie snorts.
"Hey," Buck gave Eddie a light smack on his shoulder, "I'll have you know I'm a trusted source for information."
Eddie can't help but smirk back, "And with you saying so, it must be true."
