    This is just a temporary setback. He pinkie promises.

     

    Or, Buck loses his leg, falls in love, and gets his job back. Not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    Eddie snaps the picture, and sends it to Buck without thought.

    New neighbour stopped by to welcome me

    Eddie had been drinking his coffee, sitting outside on his back porch, trying not to get overwhelmed at all the shit he still had to do at his new place. The bird, a sweet little thing with a yellow face, was a nice distraction, flitting around, probably looking for food through the overgrown garden. It doesn’t take more than three minutes before his phone buzzes with Buck’s response.

    think thats a verdin!!! so cool!!

    Summary

    Raphael’s trying his best not to be nosy, but his eyes land on Eddie’s screen anyway, and he huffs out a quiet laugh. “My wife sends me stuff like that, too. I don’t know where she finds it.”

    “If she’s anything like Buck, she’s got the oddity section on AP News bookmarked.”

    Eddie’s card makes a soft little beep as he taps it against the machine, and Raphael smiles at him as he tears the receipt off and hands it over. “How long have y’all been together?”

    ...or, everyone in El Paso has lost their minds.

    Summary

    "I don’t like oranges.”
    “Since when?” Eddie frowns. “You used to love oranges.”
    Christopher shrugs. “I don’t like them anymore.”
    And that’s fine, really. Tastes change. Christopher doesn’t have to like oranges.
    It’s just that he does. Christopher loves oranges. Christopher has loved oranges since the first time he tasted one, Eddie watching on over a shaky video call from the desert.

     

    Or, Eddie knows his kid, and his kid loves oranges. Buck knows both of them better than Eddie realized. He shows it in various citrus-based ways.

    Summary

    Adriana doesn’t tell their parents that she’s going to LA. She doesn’t tell Eddie, either—or ask, for that matter.

    She does ask Chris, and he thinks it’s a good idea—says as much, on the phone, and doesn’t say much else.

    “Buck will probably be hovering,” is what Chris does volunteer.

    It still surprises her when the man who opens the door is not Eddie. It’s—Captain America, is the thing that actually comes to mind—a man close to a foot taller than she is, if not more than that, with blond curls and broad shoulders, and he’s got a question in his very blue eyes that’s probably less friendly than the one he actually asks her.

    “Uh,” he says. “Can I help you?”

    Or: Adriana arrives in LA. Maddie has been here the whole time.

    Summary

    “Well.” Eddie hums. “I want to talk to you.”

    Buck hides his smile against his shoulder, rolling his head to look up at the sky. The stars are a bit more visible tonight. He has to squint, and he’s not entirely sure what he’s looking at, but it’s nice—knowing that he and Eddie are looking up at the same sky. He can almost pretend they’re here together, sitting side by side in the camp chairs, miles of space, but still needing to press their knees into each other.

    “I want to talk to you too.” Buck replies, equally as softly.

    Eddie leaves for Texas. Buck sees him everywhere.

    Summary

    “We could’ve gone again.”

    Eddie snorts. “I’m old. You expect me to get it up twice?”

    “Yes,” Buck says, like it’s a given, like duh. “I could get you to do it right now.”

    The entire world pauses, and Eddie actually feels it, the bolt of arousal slinking down his spine all the way to his toes. He wets his lips. “Right now?”

    Summary

    "It would just be a visit- for now. I know that’s not as good as having him home for real, but it would be the whole break, and I know we’ll have to talk to your parents, but—“

    Eddie thought he knew what loving Buck was, has always wondered how he could manage to love him any deeper- hasn’t even thought deeper was possible, but today, this moment has proved him wrong.

    (or: chris comes home for christmas. it's the best gift buck's ever given him.)

    Summary

    Frank had raised the question.

    “What is it that you want? You often talk about what you should want but never about what you truly want. So tell me Eddie, what do you want?”

    He couldn’t answer. The question felt too exposing. It was as if looking too closely might reveal something he wasn’t ready to face. But now, apart from wanting Chris back, he realises he has no idea who he is. Or want he wants. Maybe Frank wasn’t suggesting a moustache, but he finds himself liking it.

    or

    Eddie tries to figure out what he wants.

    Summary

    “My grandparents are coming to town tomorrow.”

    “You have grandparents?” Eddie’s brow furrows.

    “Yeah,” Buck says with a hollow laugh. “I found out about an hour ago.”

    Eddie leans forward, clearly confused. “So… where have they been all this time?”

    “Boston, I think,” He mutters. “I don’t really know. I thought they were dead. Turns out they just didn’t care enough to be part of my life.” He swallows hard, his throat tight. “And now they just show up, after all this time? No warning. It doesn’t make any sense. I have no idea what to do,”

    Eddie’s expression turns serious “You don’t have to do anything, Buck,” he says firmly almost , his protective “You don’t have to forgive them, or even let them back into your life if you don’t want to. This isn’t about them—it’s about what you need.”

    or

    The one where Buck finds out he has grandparents, breaks up with his boyfriend, gets crushed by a ceiling and gets engaged in the space of a week.

    Summary

    “Buck is making my dad his favorite mole with a recipe he got from my bisabuela. He’s being really weird about it.”

    “Chris!” Buck cries out. Honestly, he thinks he’d rather take another repelling trip at this point.

    The butcher clicks his tongue. “Wow, you worked your way into getting a family recipe? I still can’t convince my mother-in-law to give me her brisket rub and I’ve been married to my wife for eleven years. You must have really earned your place.”

    “My Abuela doesn’t even have it.” Chris offers, like the traitor he is.

    The butcher whistles. “I wouldn’t share that information at the next family reunion, you’ll be on the wrong side of a family feud.”

    “I-It’s not like that, I—”

    “Dad’s afraid to bring Buck to Texas because he doesn’t want to scare Buck away. He thinks my Tias will break him.” Buck stares. Chris shrugs. “I heard him talking on the phone to Pepa about it.”

    “Well, we better help your Buck earn some points then, right? Walk over here and we’ll go over the basics of pork and how to find the best cuts. Ready?”

    Summary

    “Did you know if you put a frog in water and slowly bring it to boiling, it won’t hop out?” Chris is chattering as Buck makes a quick dinner while Eddie argues with his gas company on the phone. He can hear the occasional swear word in Spanish as his voice raises. Eddie doesn’t like to raise his voice around Christopher – the very thought makes Buck want to kiss him full on the mouth – so he decided to take it to the living room while Chris sits with his homework in the kitchen and Buck cooks.

    “Hmm?” Buck asks, unable to fully pull himself out of Bobby’s baked mac and cheese recipe. It took him years, but he finally convinced the man to write it down. Bobby’s handwriting was juvenile at best on a good day, but this was nearly unreadable. Buck wonders if he did that on purpose. “Frogs?”

    “Yeah!” Chris states. “My teacher said that if you put a frog in a pot, you have to make sure it’s not immediately boiling. You put them in water and then slowly raise the temperature and they won’t realize what’s happening. Then once they realize, they have no place to go. They can’t jump out.”

    Summary

    When he’s sick, he still wants Maddie.

    Buck knows it isn’t weird. It isn’t that weird, at least, for the two of them; most people instinctively want their mom when they’re sick. He’s rescued and transported enough sick and injured people to know that it isn’t exactly uncommon. Buck just always kind of thought he might grow out of it some day.

    He thought he’d get over it in high school, when Maddie was beyond his reach and he was basically an adult already and shouldn’t need his big sister’s comfort anyway. He thought he’d be over it when he made it to L.A., when he graduated from the academy, when he finished his probationary year. He really thought that he’d be over it when he got into his first serious relationship.

    But every time he has a cold and can’t fall asleep because it’s too hard to breathe, whenever he eats at the wrong food truck and ends up puking his guts out on the bathroom floor, whenever he has a hard shift or makes an obvious mistake or Abby doesn’t pick up the phone, some small, stupid part of his dumbass baby brain cries: I want Maddie.

    Summary

    Hen reaches out of her bunk to turn off the overhead light. Buck’s face is illuminated by the glow of his phone. After a minute or so, he locks the screen, his face disappearing into the darkness.

    “So what was everyone’s first kiss like?”

    The Station 118 bunkroom has witnessed a lot over the years. Private conversations, spats, occasions of affection, joy, and anguish. It’s seen pranks, and games, and camaraderie. It’s even been privy to an unfolding love story or two.

    It holds the memory of each of these moments.
