    Summary

    “Fuck it,” Eddie mumbled before unlocking the phone again and opening his text thread with Buck. They hadn’t texted since Buck asked him if he wanted a scone or a danish from their favorite coffee shop before their last shift. Eddie sighed and pressed the corner of the phone against his forehead.

    He didn’t want to ask for help. He could spend another hour circling around the city. But he didn’t want to. He wanted this awful horrible day to be done. He wanted to hold his child and pretend for a little bit that everything was still whole. He sighed again before pressing call and pressing the phone to his ear.

    ————————

    Eddie finally asks for what he needs in the aftermath of the sudden loss of his Abuela. Buck finally stops running from his grief. And then Eddie’s parents show up.

    Summary

    Buck isn't certain he was breathing before. He doesn't quite remember, all he knows now is that he feels the air in his lungs release all at once at the sight of Eddie's eyes. He can exhale, he can inhale, and he's not fully sure he was doing that before now.

    He's glad his lungs work once again but he really should figure out how to restart his brain because right now he's ceased all functions.

    He's just so beautiful.

    It's hard to look away from.

    -

    Or, five times where Buck struggles with his feelings until he doesn't. Plus one time Eddie helps him out.

    Summary

    Finally allowed to see Christopher again after the lawsuit debacle, Buck takes him to an observation deck on the top of a skyscraper in downtown LA when an earthquake suddenly hits the city. As Buck does everything in his might to get Christopher out of the crumbling building and back to Eddie, a race against time begins that Buck is determined to win.

    Or, an earthquake, a collapsing building and Buck's sheer endless bad luck are not a good combination.

    Summary

    The room spun for a beat before settling into dim shapes: the low gray light of early morning bleeding in through the blinds, the familiar slant of their bedroom ceiling—but none of that registered. What hit him first was the body against his.

    His cheek was pressed against the top of a spine, rising and falling against his face with heaving breaths. His arm was wrapped around a torso that was moving with his own. His thigh was wedged up against hips that had just pushed back into him.

    And that sound—that breath, that low, involuntary sound—it hadn’t come from him.

    It had come from—

    “Eddie,” Buck whispered. Voice raw, stuck halfway in his throat. He wasn’t even sure he’d meant to say it out loud.

    “It’s okay,” Eddie spit, like it had come out instinctively—because Buck sounded scared, or maybe because Eddie was, too.

    Eddie huffed, voice rough. “Keep going.”

    Buck let out a shocked, stuttered, “Huh?”

    Summary

    “Seriously, the second I get back, you’re the one running off?” Eddie asks as he steps up to Buck. Their shoulders bumps together and Buck does his best not to flinch, from the words or the sudden contact. He’s unused to having Eddie around. The months of distance seems to have overwritten the years of familiarity. “You couldn’t have given me a settling in period?”

    Buck should joke back. That’s what he does, matched Eddie, because the two of them have been in sync for years. He can’t though, because Buck has been knocked off the track, spiraling out of Eddie’s gravitational pull, and he’s not sure how to get back on. If he even wants to get back on.

    Buck transfers out of the 118, gets a new apartment, and tries to pretend he isn't in love with his best friend.
