Summary
“Hey, Spider-Man!” Eddie says, groaning dramatically as he picks Theo up. “You ready for the big game today?”
“If I score a goal, I get a kitty!”
Eddie’s laugh filters down the hall like music to Buck’s ears. “Is that so? I think we should go see what your Buck says about that. Chris, would you mind setting the table?”
“Yeah, I got it,” Chris replies in his usual teenage monotony.
Buck chuckles to himself and flops back against the pillows, just staring up at the whirring ceiling fan for a moment as his chest fills with contentment. He was wrong earlier; it does get better. Having all of his boys together under the same roof is the happiest Buck can get; he’s sure of it.
The sound of socked feet approaches until there’s another presence in the doorway.
“Rise and shine, Buckley, it’s game day."
Or: It's Theo's first soccer game of the children of queer parents' league that Hen and Karen recommended. Except Buck doesn't exactly mention this to Eddie beforehand. Cue: Rainbows, fluff, and promises of a kitty.

Summary
Coming out is a scary prospect. Especially when you're thirty four, chronically emotionally repressed, and in no uncertain terms deeply in love with your best friend (i.e. the intended recipient of said coming out). And it's with that in mind that Eddie gives himself a rare moment of grace, accepting that maybe it was the colossal weight of this emotional distress, and not his own personal failure that led him to develop his worst idea yet - a practice run.
Or; Eddie practices coming out with his new favorite four-year-old. It doesn't go well, or maybe it goes a little too well.

You were my first boyfriend, Eddie.Or: Memory is an incredibly important function, but it's also an imperfect one. Sometimes, when your brain deems an event too stressful or traumatic, it can change how it stores and recalls information to protect you from overwhelming or painful memories. Certain triggers can cause them to suddenly come back to you and can ultimately change your perception of reality forever.
Or: Eddie runs into someone from his past. Things spiral from there.Bookmarked by CanYouPatchTheLine

Summary
Christopher’s chest heaved once, followed by the sound of a stifled sob. Like a dam breaking, he hunched over slightly, shoulders shaking.
He was crying. Why would he be—
Oh.
He looked up at Eddie, tears streaming down his red cheeks, the dark makeup around his eyes somehow unaffected.
“I’m gay,” he confessed between shaky breaths, his voice cracking over the words.

Summary
“Buck, can you tell me a story?” Christopher’s voice asked curiously.
“What kind?” Buck asked.
“Anything. Wait, I know! Can you- can you tell me about- about Evan?”
“You … want to know about Evan? Not- not Buck?”
“Yeah. He’s part of you. And I already know Buck. What was he like?”
“Oh kiddo. Evan … Evan was trouble. Evan was fun. Evan was … he was young. Evan was … ”
