    Summary

    “Does this story have a point?” Eddie questioned, Lena narrowing her eyes at him.

    “This guy, my sort of friend—what if he could watch Chris for you?”

    Eddie furrowed his brows together. “You want me to leave my kid who’s halfway across the country with some—stranger?

    “It beats having him sent home to your parents, right?”

    Well, she had a point there.

    Eddie shook his head, overwhelmed with his thoughts.

    “Look, I appreciate it Bosko, but I just—I don’t know. This is my kid we’re talking about.”

    “I know that, and I know how much you love him. Hell, you’ve sent me ten plus emails when I was watching him for you.”

    Eddie looked to where there was a line coming out of their commanders office. He turned to Lena, giving his full attention.

    “Alright, tell me about this friend of yours.”

    —or—

    The one where Eddie’s in the army, Shannon gives up her rights to Chris, and Eddie needs a babysitter. Good thing Lena knows Buck, the guy having nothing better to do than help babysit until Eddie gets back. Eddie would come home, and he would leave; it wasn’t like they were going to build some lifetime friendship or anything.

    Summary

    Buck had lost-- he was sure of this now. His resolve only lasted a few weeks before his exterior began to crack; he was never a very good actor. He couldn’t keep up the greetings and the asking questions and the easy stroll. He let his shoulders creep up to his ears, let his foot tap incessantly. He did what his Captain told him, but stopped asking for anything more. Stopped following the conversation in the back of the engine on the way to the call; he just stared out the window, thinking about the case to come, preparing for it. When he woke every morning, there was no big recovery milestone to strive for, no big fight for the soul of his career to win. Not even the happy swell of being back on shift -- something so easy to dismiss, that had dominated so much of his life, that he had taken for granted-- that had catalyzed him each morning of his first week back.
    An old habit of his had returned. A bad habit.

    ~~

    or: after the lawsuit, buck confronts what it was he wanted all along. he looks and looks and longs for it; the team looks right through him. buck breaks-- right down the middle.

    Summary

    It’s a fucking miracle that Buck finds Chris after he falls off the truck and he nearly sobs with relief when the water finally recedes enough that he can plant his feet on solid ground. Buck holds Christopher tight with one arm, his free hand still clutched around the pole he’d held onto as the water had rushed around them, unable to let go just yet.

    ~~~~~

     

    “Hey, Chris,” Buck says and rests a hand on his cheek, smiling as brightly as he can. “You have to keep going without me.”

     

    “What?” he exclaims. “No!”

     

    “Chris, listen to me-”

     

    “No! I’m not leaving you!” As if to drive the point home he tips forward and holds onto Buck as tightly as he can.
