    Summary

    Buck suddenly came up behind him then, leaning so they were pressed back-to-back, Buck moving his shoulders from side to side. Eddie took on the weight with ease, turning just enough so their eyes met.

    Before Eddie knew what was happening, Buck twisted him around, dropping down low and extending a hand up to him. Without thinking, Eddie took his hand, pulling Buck up sharply. Their faces met, just inches apart, Eddie refraining from doing anything he might regret, like kissing Buck. Yea, that would be stupid.

    Summary

    “What’s this?” asks Buck, picking up a pamphlet from the loft’s kitchen counter.

    “I’m pretty sure you can read, Buck,” answers Chim, popping his gum. Usually, Buck wouldn’t be irritated by that, but Chim’s the interim captain due to Bobby’s cruise, and everything gets on his nerves.

    “I can read,” Buck huffs. “I’m just confused. How does this work?”

    He looks down at the pamphlet again. The deep red letters that say, are you a first responder looking for a buddy who understands your woes? — Fireapp’s got you covered!

    _____

    OR Buck joins a support app for first responders and matches with a firefighter who has PTSD and a kid who likes giraffes, apparently.

    Summary

    If Buck could go back to all those weeks ago and tell himself that this idea would place at the top of the list of his monumentally stupid ideas, he would do it in a heartbeat. He would knock some sense into his own head, or let Maddie do it for him.

    But here he is now, and a time machine, unfortunately, hasn’t been invented yet.

    Here he is now, with Eddie boring into his eyes after that. After realizing he’s been caught red-handed. Except, the implication Eddie’s just made means he’s been sitting on this. And, holy hell.

    Eddie breathes out, his chest puffing out noticeably.

    “Not so quick to answer when the tables are turned, are you?”

    ____

    OR Buck ends up asking Eddie the thirty-six questions to fall in love. And really, what’s the worst that could happen?

    Summary

    Dear Eddie,

    You probably have a lot of questions. I’ll get to answering them later. But first, let me paint you a picture.

    Imagine a little child, growing up in the depths of suburban Pennsylvania. They have no real friends, only their older sister. They have plenty of toys that were once said sister’s, including a collection of Barbies.

    Among these Barbies is a singular Ken. The child pays special attention to him. While their parents are wondering why the child isn’t obsessed with changing the Barbies into a thousand and one dresses, they take a pink marker and draw a birthmark on the side of Ken’s left eye. They keep Ken hidden from everyone else and only bring him out when no one’s around, to look at him long and hard, mesmerized.

    If you haven’t guessed yet, I am that child.

    Summary

    Christopher starts shaking more violently then. “Buck jumped back in the water for me.”

    There’s a protocol for a lot of scenarios, both in the Army and as an EMT. Eddie is used to knowing what to do, and how to do it; who to help, and where. Yet now, hopelessness splits through him like a bullet. Eddie doesn’t know what else to do other than hold his kid tighter and press his lips to his temple.

    “Is that– Christopher?” Hen asks over his shoulder. The tiny pocket of universe that he’s created with just him, his son, and Buck’s name battering in his chest unravels.

    Still keeping Christopher in his arms, Eddie rises to his feet. “I made Buck watch him for the day to get him out of the house. He– he brought him to the pier.”

    “Where is he, Eddie?” Bobby asks carefully.

    There’s a protocol for a lot of scenarios, both in the Army and as an EMT, but not for this.

    Evan Buckley can’t look his best friend in the eye and tell him he failed, so he doesn’t. He stumbles around a drowning wasteland looking for the brightest little boy he’s ever known, and when he can’t find him, he just… keeps on walking.
