    Summary

    This is all perfectly applicable to friendship. Friendships require effort. Intentionality. Sometimes you have to watch a minute long Instagram video about attracting men to figure out how to get your male best friend to come back to your house and fall asleep on your couch again. Or in your bed. Either one.

    Whatever Buck's comfortable with. Eddie's not picky.

    Eddie will take whatever proximity Buck is willing to offer and be grateful for it, and if that sounds desperate then fine, it's a little desperate, but it's friend-desperate, which is a completely different thing than regular desperate.

    He replays the video and takes mental notes, formulating a plan that is simple: get Buck's attention. Spend more time with Buck. Stop feeling like his ribcage has been hollowed out with a melon baller every time he goes forty-eight hours without hearing Buck laugh.

    Easy and straightforward. He’s got this.

    Or,
    Five times Eddie tries to show Buck how much he misses him; plus the one time he just says it.

    Summary

    "Maddie." Eddie’s fear matches her own when they meet each other’s eyes again. “You gotta get out. We don’t have time…”

    “I’m not leaving you.”

    “What about Jee, Maddie?” Eddie grabs it like the steel frame in his side and jams it straight through her heart. “Who’d you rather leave? Me or her?”

    For a moment, she thinks of how simple it would be. How badly she wants to get out. To remove the danger, to remove the possibility of leaving Jee, again, of leaving Chimney again. She could get out of the car. She could survive this.

    Some part of her wants to, so bad, but she’s staring at Eddie, and thinking of Buck’s shaking hands after he got shot, thinking of Eddie spinning Christopher at the fire station, thinking of all the things this world has to lose if it loses Eddie Diaz. Thinking of all the things her brother would lose.

    Thinking of all the things she would lose.

    OR

    Eddie and Maddie end up in an impossible situation.

    Summary

    There’s a house across the street that Don isn’t sure was there the day before.

    Not that he’s made a habit of looking too closely at the houses surrounding his. The grass always looks more even and the paint is always a bit brighter. Sue him, he’d rather protect his peace of mind over the insidious comparative nature of midwestern suburbia. So, in the long run, anything strange about the house across the street could be nothing more than re-painted doors or maybe a new bush on the lawn.

    So, that’s probably it.

    New trimming.

    -

    Or: Loki, grasping at straws, selfish incarnate, makes an attempt at not being alone. If only to spite the role he was forced to play.

    Summary

    “Eddie.” Steve says around a smile, and it tugs the strings of Eddie’s daydream balloon, sends it slowly floating back to Earth.

    “Hm?” He responds, distracted.

    Steve opens his eyes, squinting in the late afternoon sun.

    “No, ‘Eddie.’ That’s what you’re writing.”

    And -

    Yeah, it is. Eddie looks down at his finger, the one that’s been operating on autopilot while he’s been lost in his thoughts, and watches as it finishes rounding out the curve of the final e.

    Shit.

    or - Eddie can't stop touching Steve. Steve doesn't seem to mind.
