    Summary

    “No pets allowed, only service dogs,” The waiter tells them, his voice a little more firm than necessary as he flicks his eyes between Buck, Eddie, and where Maple quietly but attentively stands between Buck and Chris. Buck shifts the leash in his hand, raising an eyebrow as he and Eddie seem to have the same thought, both pointing to the patch on the lab’s navy blue harness that reads Service Dog and Do Not Touch in bold letters.

    “It’s okay, she’s a service dog.” Buck and Eddie speak in unison, only further proving to Buck that they were thinking the same thing. The man takes one look at the black lab and then Chris and Buck, disregarding Chris’ crutches, and scoffs. Honest to god, scoffs. What the fuck?

    “Either show me her certification or I’m calling the cops.” There is venom in his tone this time and Maple boops his thigh with more force, trying to alert him to Chris’ distress.

    Or: Buck is dying to try a new restaurant so Eddie takes him and Chris, only to be refused service because of the service dog he has for his chronic pain. The Firefam finds out and decides to do something about it.

    Summary

    Eddie always thought his soulmark felt less like a promise and more like a countdown.

    Two lines, dark against his skin.

    He learns to hide them. Learns not to hope. Learns not to imagine the person those words might belong to.

    Then Buck says the first line in the middle of a storm, casual and smiling and impossibly alive, and Eddie’s whole world narrows to one terrible truth.

    Buck is his soulmate.

    or

    What if Eddie realized Buck is his soulmate when he got struck by lightning and is the one to bring him back.

    Summary

    “I could kill him,” Eddie mutters through gritted teeth, hands clenched into tight fists as he surveys the crowded room.

    And it ignites something deep inside of Buck, something warm and safe that distinctly feels like home. Because Eddie’s instinct is to protect Buck, to defend him even though the threat is gone now and he’s okay.

    Summary

    A smile breaks out on his face, he’s seen her before, “Hi!” He comes towards her and she looks amused, he can’t help but wonder why. “What can I do for you?”

    Her hand waves, her bracelets gleaming off of what is left of their daylight. “Oh nothing guero.” But she leans a little looking at the flowers, “Just coming to see what you’ve done with those sad flores.”

    Buck perks, “Oh! I know huh, Eddie really doesn’t have a green thumb so now that I live here, I wanted to try and give them some life back.”

    She chuckles and then pats his shoulder, “Aren’t you a good esposo.”

    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

    “Oh! You must be Mr. Diaz!” someone says from behind him, and Buck spins around clumsily, all long legs, to find a woman with a Miss Perez tag stuck to her blouse. She’s smiling politely, white teeth against red lips, and it takes just a second too long to process what she says.

    ...or, everyone thinks Buck is the other Mr. Diaz.

    Summary

    “I-I need you do to something for me. I—” There’s a terrible wheeze and Bobby can almost see the man’s pinched face, desperately trying to smooth any indication of harm. “I need you to tell—”

    “No.” Bobby says strongly into the radio, his eyes never wavering from the collapsed building. He feels himself losing it – he feels the same terrible ache snake in his spine then he did that night, smoke clouding his lungs. “No, firefighter, you’re not doing this. We’re clearing debris and we’ll—”

    “Please?”

    It’s small, almost childlike.

    How could he ever deny a dying man’s request?
    -
    After reevaluating his career, Eddie finds himself in Texas. It’s alright, if not a boring existence. In his selfish moments, he longs for the adrenaline rush of a fire, the open air on his face. But he’s… fine. He has to be. Fine, that is. He moved for Christopher, his life in L.A. nothing more than a painful memory of what could’ve been. Eddie’s fine.

    When his Abuela watches the news, Eddie knows everything will change. A story about a firefighter, trapped in a building with kids. A firefighter wheezing goodbyes for those who have left him. A firefighter from the 118.

    Eddie is not fine.

    Summary

    It occurs to Eddie later this is the closest he’s ever been to punching a superior.

    It doesn’t so much surprise him that he felt this way, rather that he didn’t feel as strongly as this before. There were many moments in the army – hell, in the Dairy Freeze he worked in the summers in high school – where the inclination would’ve made much more sense than a figure he viewed as family. However, in the end, Eddie supposes it was inevitable. Inevitable that he’s feeling Bobby’s hands grip against his turnout, still askew and half-off where Chimney once was, hands running up his chest while he checked for injuries. Chimney is long gone, sprinting to where Hen cries out, the panic in her voice palpable and Eddie only has one functioning ear at the moment.

    All of that means nothing to him, really.

    Instead, he’s unilaterally focused on the helmet sitting on the ground as innocently as if someone placed it there. Rain, crashing against the visor, the flashlight still on and flickering in the storm. A helmet that should be on the head of the figure collapsed on the ground yards away.

    Summary

    “You don’t know that!” Buck says, his eyes growing wild. “You don’t get to tell me when someone is dead. You don’t get to tell me to give up! I will never stop trying!”

    “I know Buck! And that’s what terrifies me!” Eddie shouts, getting up in his space.

    Buck can feel Eddie’s breath on his face. His rage filters out when he sees the pain etched in the lines of his once-partner’s face. “What does that even mean?”

    “How can you not know?” Eddie cries, shaking his head and stepping away. He runs his hand down his face and turns away from Buck. Buck hates it. He wants Eddie to turn back around, so he can see his face, and yet… he waits. “God, Buck.” Eddie breathes. “How can you not know by now?”

    Summary

    “No getting out of it now.” Bobby’s steady voice makes him flinch.

    “We literally haven’t moved.”

    “You could run,” Bobby says with a shrug. “But then you’d have to deal with Athena.” He steps into the RV.

    Turning around, Buck sees Athena standing at the doorway, her hand still in the air. When she catches his eye, something in her expression shifts. He’s seen that expression before. Typically, she uses it on people who are about to flee arrest.

     

    I fucking dare you.

     

    Sighing, Buck gets on the RV.

    After a call that is almost his last, Buck is having a hard time. He’s avoids his family, his friends, and everything in between. When Bobby suggests they go on a road trip, he almost laughs. But what’s worse? He actually says yes.

    Summary

    Bobby would like the record to state that he did not intend to be this much of an asshole about it. Quite frankly, it had been an unforeseeable turn of events completely out of his control as long as you ignored the fact he had done it on purpose and enjoyed every second of it. Because Bobby Nash was not a spiteful man. He could, however, be a very petty one.

    ---

    The Buckley parents happen to be in town around Buck’s birthday, and they let something slip about his non-existent baby box. Bobby decides to do something about it.

    Summary

    “But he’s Buck,” Theo explains, pushing a small finger into Buck’s chest, as if to show Tommy exactly who Buck was. “Everyone calls him Buck.”

    Tommy’s face relaxes slightly as he answers, “yes, that’s true, but—”

    “Everyone!” Theo cuts Tommy off, holding up his hand as he begins to count on his fingers. “Me, Chris, Auntie Hen and Karen, Uncle Chimney, Ravi—”

    Once he runs out of fingers on his one hand, he looks up at Buck, realization dawning on his face. “Aunt Maddie calls you Evan!” He exclaims, almost shouts in Buck’s face, eyes comically wide at this, apparently very important, piece of information.

    Buck nods. “Yes, she does. Sometimes.”

    “Aunt Maddie does, sometimes.” Theo reiterates to Tommy, his eyes narrowing as he cocks his head to the side, thinking. “Wait— Eddie does too! But only sometimes. Like less sometimes than Aunt Maddie. I think? But Eddie is Eddie, so it’s different.”

    Tommy can’t help the snort he lets out, “you’re right about that, kid.”

    Or, Buck runs into his ex at the grocery store, which forces Buck to confront feelings he's been ignoring for far too long.

    Summary

    “Chris,” Eddie says, nudging him. “You wanna say hi? Properly?”

    Christopher flips him off, discreetly, and then to Theo he says very sweetly, “Hi, Theo.” 

    Buck’s heart swells to thrice the size of whatever it was, and he’s hit with a rush of love so intense he’s tearing up with it. Eddie’s no better, eyes sparkling. 

    “Hi,” Theo says, and then presses himself back towards Buck, clutching his spider–man tightly. “You’re Buck’s big best friend.”

    Christopher grins. “I am, yeah,” he says, cheesing so hard. “You’re Buck’s tiny best friend, aren’t you?”

    Theo nods shyly. “Yeah.”

    Christopher holds out his hand, tilting his head. “I’m Chris,” he says, and Theo takes it, his small hand cradled perfectly in Christopher’s palm. “What’s your name?” 

    “Hi Kiss,” Theo says, in awe. “My name is Theo.” 

    —theo meets the diazes.

    “Yeah. Craziest thing. My kid comes home a few weeks ago with a birthmark on his eyebrow. Looks suspiciously like a smudge of paint, but he assures me it’s a birthmark.”

    “Ah,” Buck cringes. "Mr Diaz - -"

    "Eddie."

     

    Or, if you ask Christopher, that smudge on his eyebrow is a birthmark. If you ask Eddie, his kid won't stop painting on his face and he has no idea why.

Don’t eat that. That’s not for eating. Theo. Theo. Don’t - -” Buck lets out a loaded, patient breath. “Ideally as fast as you can.”

    Summary

    “Hey Hen,” Buck said as he let the book fall closed in his lap. “Can I ask you a kind of personal question without you getting mad at me?”

    Hen’s other brow matched the one that was arched as she slipped her finger to mark her place in her book before she finally looked up at him. 

    “I should say no but now you’ve got me intrigued.”

    “Have you ever had sex with a man?”

    Hen’s expression flattened as she flipped her book back open. “I’ve changed my mind.”

    But that was the thing about being exposed to strangers. They saw but they didn’t know. Bobby was worried about Buck but he was always worried about Buck. Every call, every bad day, every good day. Buck was on the forefront of his mind right next to the kids and Athena.

    He should’ve sent Buck home that morning.
