    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

    “See,” Christopher explained, “Grindr is not going to meet your needs.”
    “What needs?” Eddie scoffed.
    “A relationship, Dad,” Christopher groaned, “You want it to be romantic, right? Grindr is all about hookups.”
    Eddie put down his phone. “And how would you know about this??”
    “I research.”
    “Dating apps?”
    “Gay culture!” Christopher threw up his hands. “I researched when Buck came out.”
    Eddie laughed. “Sometimes, I think you have his genes instead of mine.” He pulled out the sticky notepad he kept in his wallet and wrote down 'no grindr - no hookups.'

    Newly out as gay, Eddie Diaz explores dating apps with the help of his teenage son and his chaotic best friend.

    Summary

    The first time it happens, it’s Tommy’s fault. Maybe that’s unfair, all things considered, but Eddie certainly isn’t going to blame Buck for it. And Eddie’s single, so it can’t be his fault. But Tommy sent Buck a dick pic while Buck was at Eddie’s house, so Eddie feels justified in blaming Tommy for everything that happened after.

    ***

    Or, five times Buck cheats on Tommy with Eddie, and one time he doesn't.

    Summary

    “God I’m so gay,” Eddie says completely out of nowhere, followed by a sigh. “And if I wasn’t already aware, today would have been extremely eye-opening.”

    Maddie turns to look at him, with an amused look on her face.

    “So we’re talking about it then?”

    “Talking about what?” Eddie responds nonchalantly. “My sexuality? You already knew about that from wine night.”

    “Your feelings for my brother,” Maddie clarifies, and Eddie flushes.

    (Eddie agrees to be Buck's fake patient for his mandatory Rescue Training. Eddie underestimates how attractive he's going to find Buck while he's 'rescuing' him.)
