Summary
Eddie loads the metaphorical gun, cocks it. “I would’ve found my way to you. That I'm even more sure of.”
Buck is burning. That’s the only way he can describe this. Eddie says something like that, and then Buck will end the call, and he’ll crawl into Eddie’s bed in Eddie’s house and stare at the patches in Eddie’s bedroom wall that he helped Eddie patch up, and he’ll pretend like this isn’t going to kill him. He’s entirely convinced he’s going to die before Eddie ever crosses the California state line again.
He digs his own grave. “You sound confident for a guy who doesn’t believe in fate.”
“Nah, it’s not fate. It’s us and pure determination.”
or: eddie moves to texas. buck moves into his place. he holds his breath for the one hundred and twenty one days it takes for eddie to make his way back home.

Summary
At Fort Benning, Eddie Diaz was stripped of more than his hair.
Years later, a barbershop in LA — and a man named Buck — might help him put the pieces back together.This isn't just about haircuts. It's about consent, kindness, and the long road back to yourself.

“Hair doesn’t care where it’s cut,” Buck said. “It’s where you feel the safest.”
Eddie pressed the heels of his hands into his eyes.
I’m okay. I’m safe.
Buck is keeping me safe.Series

Summary
“You got one too,” Theo pointed, touching the beauty mark under Eddie’s eye.
Eddie felt his cheeks go red. “Not a birthmark, just a mark.”
“I want it,” Theo said determinedly, walking back to the table to grab his pens. Eddie really should have told him to stop drawing on his face, but he just watched in awe as Theo grabbed a brown marker and ran off to the bathroom.
When Theo returned to the living room a few moments later, he had drawn a small, brown dot underneath his eye to match Eddie’s. He was looking up at Eddie through his lashes, beaming with pride at the spot he’d created.
Eddie lost it.
OR; Eddie Diaz knows he is in love with Evan Buckley. Theo's cuteness sends him into a crisis. He's a yearner, your honour.

“Oh…i think i know what i want to say to you…”
Buck smiles down at him, face shadowed under the fluorescent lights, “yeah?” There’s some anxious amusement in his voice, “you’ve got your last words?”
Eddie nods to himself, “yeah.”
————
Eddie gets stuck in the elevator, except Buck is there too.
It changes a couple things.

Summary
Eddie freezes at the doorway, tray in hand, the voices drifting from inside stopping him cold.
“Oh, your stepdad doesn’t live with you?” Mark asks, gesturing to a framed photo of Buck and Christopher.
There’s a beat of silence—too long, too loaded.Eddie’s heart stutters, thudding hard against his ribs as he waits, breath held. God's really decided to test him today.
Then Christopher answers, casually, like it’s the easiest thing in the world. “No… he lives in L.A.”
or Eddie overhears a conversation between Christopher and his friend, then proceeds to spiral about being in love with Buck while also being insanely jealous of 118's new recruit
