    Summary

    Bending down, Eddie scoops the boy up, settling him on his hip with a swing. He jostles him playfully before focusing back on Ana.

    “This is Theo,” he says, feeling Theo tilt his head against the crook of his neck at the sound of his name. “He joined pre-k here in May, didn’t you?”

    Eddie brushes a clump of hair out of Theo’s eyes, tucking it behind his ear. It springs back to place immediately, unrestrained and uncontrolled. He really is due a haircut, but any time he or Buck mention it, Theo’s arms fly up to protect his hair like they’re going to hack away at it right there and then.

    “Yes,” Theo says, voice lispy and a little shy as he blinks at Ana. “Are you a teacher?”

    Summary

    “I heard you two were expanding your family! Another little one at Durand. We were so excited when we saw the enrollment paperwork.” She clasps her hands together. “Theo is an absolute joy. Let me show you what he’s been working on.”

    Expanding your family.

    Buck opens his mouth to redirect — it's a reflex, the correction sitting right there on his tongue. This isn’t the first time they’ve been mistaken for more than two totally platonic best friends who are both men and also raising children together.

    It’s right there, polite and practiced: Oh, we’re not actually—

    But suddenly Eddie’s hand is on his back. Not his shoulder this time, but lower. A few inches lower than two totally platonic best friends who are both men and also raising children together would justify.

    Eddie’s palm presses flat against the base of Buck’s spine, fingers spread wide like he’s anchoring them both to the same spot.

    “Thank you so much,” Eddie says. “We’re really proud of him.”

    Or: The totally platonic act of raising not just one, but two kids with your straight best friend.

    Summary

    What if Buck never reached the VA with Chris?

    "9-1-1, what's your emergency?"

    "I've got this dude here, and he's like... bleeding out? Also, he's out cold. A group of us were walking back and found him laying in the middle of the street."

    "Can you check if he has a pulse for me?"

    "Yeah... yeah! He does!"
