Summary
Eddie freezes at the doorway, tray in hand, the voices drifting from inside stopping him cold.
“Oh, your stepdad doesn’t live with you?” Mark asks, gesturing to a framed photo of Buck and Christopher.
There’s a beat of silence—too long, too loaded.Eddie’s heart stutters, thudding hard against his ribs as he waits, breath held. God's really decided to test him today.
Then Christopher answers, casually, like it’s the easiest thing in the world. “No… he lives in L.A.”
or Eddie overhears a conversation between Christopher and his friend, then proceeds to spiral about being in love with Buck while also being insanely jealous of 118's new recruit

Summary
"Hey, you made it."
Buck turns toward the voice, already saying "sorry, he's got a lot of energy, he's—" and then he gets a look at the swim instructor, and the rest of the sentence walks off a cliff.
Because the swim instructor is shirtless.
Obviously he's shirtless, he's a swim instructor, that's the dress code, Buck understands this intellectually. What Buck did not account for is that the swim instructor would look like that — like someone took every good idea the human body has ever had and put them all in one place and then made him relaxed about it on top of everything, loose, smiling at Buck like Buck isn't a sweating disaster clutching a four-year-old by the swim shirt.
"I'm Eddie," the swim instructor says, and sticks out a hand.
"Buck," Buck says, eventually. He shakes the hand. The hand is tan, and big, and — no. He's not doing this. There's a child present. Several children.
"And this must be Theo."
Or,
Buck falls for Theo's swim instructor, literally.Bookmarked by vanillacat

Summary
When Theo falls under the care of Buck, Chris gets along with him so well that he asks Buck to babysit him every now and then.
That's how Fridays are created.
They fall into this routine quickly, with a few bumps along the way. While Buck tries his best to preserve the family he accidentally built, Eddie does everything in his power to show Buck there's one more thing in the equation that hasn't been addressed yet.
or: Buck is bad at reading signs and Eddie is even worse at expressing how he feels with actual words.

Summary
Buck feels—
There's something wonderful about kissing someone. Sex was good—not that they'd had it—but it was great. But kissing? It was like stopping the world for just this one little epoch of time, like everything else faded out of existence around you. Every loud thing in your brain fades, and all you can feel is how you slot together perfectly. Like this person was made from the same star stuff as you, so everything about them was your perfect fit.
They'd never kissed before, but they naturally fall into the perfect slotting of lips.
Buck loses time like this, locked with Eddie—the damp of his skin pressed against Buck's uniform, the warmth of him bleeding into Buck.
Fuck, it is so warm.
Eddie pulls away abruptly, and Buck whines at the disconnect.

Summary
"Can I try something?"
"Yeah, sure, g-go ahead, man." Buck cringes, and even that is adorable.
"Close your eyes."
"E-Eddie," Buck croaks helplessly.
"I'm not gonna bite, Buckley. Trust me?"
Buck closes his eyes. Squeezes them shut, really.
Eddie tugs his face into the curve of Buck's shoulder before he can lose the nerve, Buck's pulse fluttering wildly against the tip of Eddie's nose.
Buck is struggling after the events in New Mexico. Eddie decides to move in with him about it.
