Summary
In May’s defense, she totally did not mean to turn it into a whole thing. She just hadn’t been ready to talk about it at first, and now that she is ready to talk about it, she’s having too much fun not talking about it to stop. The operative ‘it’ being: she’s in love with Ravi, Ravi is in love with her, and absolutely nobody knows.

“Those…those are the cases that’ll stick with you, I guess. There were a lot of those today.”
“Tell me about it.” Trinity shakes her hair out of her face. “I’m tough and I kinda feel like a steaming pile of shit, so, can’t imagine how you’re doin’ over there.”
“...Not great.” Dennis answers. “You think every shift’ll be like that?”
“Iiif we’re lucky!” Trinity runs a red light, ignoring the way Dennis jumps at a loud honk from their right.

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 –”

Summary
Eddie’s house has felt far too quiet in the months since Christopher left, without the sound of video games, or the clack of crutches, or the quiet rumble of Christopher’s voice as he talks to himself while doing his homework. It’s felt empty - every lonely sound echoing back on itself to give the illusion that it isn’t really alone. But, as the door clicks closed behind Buck, the whole place falls completely silent. It’s like the last part of its beating heart has left, and now nothing but an empty shell remains.
A house is not a home if there is no love living there, and Eddie just sent the last of it packing.

Summary
Chris couldn’t quite fathom it. He had always known, he supposed, that his parents had had him while they were young. Hell, his dad was only thirty-three. He had done the math before and landed on that age. Nineteen. But he’d never really considered it. His dad was simply his dad. In Chris’s head, he had never really existed as anything else. He had always just been his dad, and there wasn’t anything else to it.
But Chris had just spent six months living in his dad’s childhood bedroom, surrounded by evidence of his youth. His baseball trophies decorated the shelves. Yellowed posters of older emo bands were taped to the wall. Pictures of him and his high school friends were pinned to a cork board. His poorly graded tests sat in the drawers of the desk. Bed sheets patterned with race cars adorned the duvet. It was a kid’s bedroom. And it belonged to his dad.
or, finally home from texas, chris and eddie sit down to talk.

Summary
“I kind of have a sweet tooth,” Eddie admits. “It was easier when we were a little broke. I took my coffee black because I was always in a rush to my next shift, and we were scraping by, so any juice and sweets I bought were for Chris.”
“So what changed?”
Eddie’s finally looking at him, and he flushes.
“I’m just trying this new thing,” he says, “where I stop punishing myself. I’m trying to be… nice to myself, I guess. For once. Like, showing myself that the world isn’t going to end if I do something just for me.”

“There’s things you don’t know about me,” he starts, voice rough.
Buck looks up at him with wide eyes. “Yeah?”
“How I kiss someone,” Eddie responds.
Buck releases a shaking breath, staring at Eddie’s lips. Looking entranced. The lock of this is off. There is no going back. “No—no, I—I don’t. Yet.”
Yet.

Summary
“Which do you think makes you feel most loved?”
Eddie thought for a long moment. Too long, maybe. Then he shrugged, “Honestly, Buck? I have no idea.”
Buck’s brows pinched up. “What do you mean? When have you felt the most loved?”
“Don’t make a big thing of this, Buck. Promise?”
Buck made a show of crossing his heart, brows still raised curiously.
“I’m not sure I’ve ever… really felt loved in a relationship? I’m not convinced that I know what makes me feel loved…”
OR -
After finding out that Eddie doesn't know what his love language is, Buck sets about finding out for him. He begins a five week experiment, one for each love language, to figure out which will make Eddie feel the most loved.

Summary
She didn’t make it.
Steve’s answer wasn’t a surprise. Some part of Bucky must have known that the only reason Romanoff wouldn’t have been in the thick of this battle with her team was because she was dead. But the feeling welling up in Bucky’s chest, so big and unbearable that it crowded out the air in his lungs until he could barely breathe, so sudden that it nearly brought him to his knees, that was a surprise. He knew whatever expression was on his face right now wasn’t the right one, because Romanoff was—had been—an acquaintance at best, a friend of a friend, and yet here he was, struggling to keep it together at the news.
An icy rime of fear crept in over and around the tidal wave of grief. What did his body know that his mind didn’t?

Summary
“You okay?” Buck asks, and Eddie blinks, lets out the breath that had gotten caught in his throat.
“Yeah,” he says, even though – no, not really. “Sorry, just – a surprise, I guess. Hearing from him.”
Which is weird, come to think of it, because they used to be close. Closer than anything, as close as – well, as close as him and Buck, but in a different way. In a way that felt frantic and clinging and desperate, something to hold onto while they were being shot at.
Eddie hears from an old army buddy; it brings a few things to the surface.

Summary
Buck nodded and slowed to a stop outside the house, shifting the car into park. He turned in his seat to flash Chris a smile. “We’ve arrived at your destination, good sir.” Chris giggled effusively, kicking his feet again.
“Thanks for the ride, Buck,” Eddie said, climbing out of the passenger seat. He appeared in the back a few moments later, pulling Chris’ crutches out first before unbuckling his son. “Say goodbye,” he told Chris.
Buck held his fist out for Chris to bump, getting caught off-guard by the way the seven-year-old wrapped both arms around the back of Buck's seat in a hug instead. There wasn't much Buck could do in the way of returning the embrace, try as he might, so he just had to settle for a pat on Chris' shoulder and an experimental ruffle of his golden curls.
Chris pulled away, million-watt smile on his face. “Thanks, Buck. It was nice meeting you.”
“You too, Chris,” Buck replied, a little breathless.

"How long have we known each other?" Her voice felt rusty.
Raoul was sprawled next to her on the bed. He blinked at the ceiling and cracked his neck. "Twenty years?"
"Twenty years," Buri sighed. She felt like steam was rising off both of them. "We could have been doing this for twenty years."

Summary
"Helvar's a fucking dick," Nina still whines an hour later around a mouthful of waffle, tongue poking out to gather a droplet of maple syrup at the corner of her mouth. "Can you believe he told me my argument was decent?"
Jesper shakes his head, wide-eyed and his hand over his heart in faux-bewilderment. "Unbelievable," he agrees.
"Very rude of him," Wylan concurs.

Nina and Matthias regularly clash against each other at Debate Club.
They might find some common ground if they could stop yelling at each other for more than one goddamn minute.
