    Summary

    “Chris, no one on Tik Tok wants to watch me play the cello,” he says—again—tiredly, rubbing a hand over his face. A pile-up near Dodger Stadium kept him over his shift for five hours thanks to some dumbass onlooker flicking a lit cigarette at a gas station, and big surprise, that didn’t end well for anything except Eddie’s bank account.

    “Dad,” Chris says, dragging out the word to Eddie’s chagrin. “People do a lot on Tik Tok. There’s cooking, too, you should really watch those. They can teach you a lot.”

     

    Or: firefighter-and-cellist!Eddie meets violinist!Buck.

    Summary

    There’s a new resident moving into the suite across from Buck’s.

    “What’s his name?” Buck asks.

    “Eddie Diaz,” Nurse Corra tells him.“Hey, you know Eddie is also a retired firefighter."

    Eddie Diaz, new recruit, a voice echoes in his mind.

    “Huh.” Buck says. "Never heard of him."

    Summary

    “Didn’t know you were seeing someone.”

    Buck just laughs. Like, honest to god giggles. Eddie is stuck fighting off doubly massive waves of butterflies and confusion, all while Buck just gazes down at him.

    “That’s cute,” he hears Buck mumble, just before climbing into the truck, calling Eddie after him.

    or, everyone knows eddie is dating buck except for eddie, literally.

    Summary

    Eddie’s heard these stories before. Buck has a lot of them. The random, wild nonsense that he got up to as a kid. But Eddie’s never considered who's missing from the stories until it’s pointed out to him: Buck’s parents. They should have been there to reassure him, to hold his hand. But they weren't. Buck was alone growing up. All alone.

    Eddie never wants Buck to have to be alone again.
