    Summary

    “Eddie,” Buck breathes, laughing humorlessly, his voice wet and thick. “If we sat here and-- and went through the list of things I want…” his hands gesture aimlessly. “We’d-- be here all night.”

    Eddie nods, catching Buck’s eyes again. “Maybe-- we start with mine, then.”

    The space between them feels charged with static, like the second before the thunder finally rumbles.

    -----

    Eddie’s finally choosing to be better-- finally choosing joy. He just needs a push or two in the right direction, first.

    Summary

    “Eddie doesn’t remember telling Buck he’s gay. No, Eddie has kept that shit on lockdown. In an envelope, inside a side, locked inside an apocalypse bunker, inside Alcatraz.”

    Or

    Buck is keeping a secret, until he isn’t.

    Summary

    The guy gets straight to the point, asking, "What do you need?" in a dull, bored voice.

    "My best friend is going to die. I want that to… not happen."

    "No small feat, bringing back the dead. And it comes at a cost."

    It's Eddie. Buck says, "Yes," without a second thought.

     

    (Or: what happens when you're down so bad that you have your "best friend" brought back from the dead)

    Summary

    Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.

    But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.

    Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.

     

    (or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

    Summary

    At this point Buck is officially drifting into freaking out territory, so he does the only other thing he can think of and scrolls through his home screen until he’s found Find my Friends.

    The sting of Christopher’s icon being 800 miles away in El Paso nearly takes his breath away. He can’t let himself look at it for too long. It looks like Maddie’s at work, and when he zooms in on Eddie—no that can’t be right.

    or,

    Eddie has a mustache, a cat, and a night out. Buck gets a phone call, a near heart attack, and a whole new perspective.
