Work Text:

"It's your last day as a probie, Probie. It's gonna be weird calling you by—"Buck squints his eyes dramatically—"What's your name again?"

Ravi rolls his eyes.

"Haha—very funny."

"I don't think I was ever called Probie," Eddie muses. "I wonder why."

Hen and Chimney exchange a look, and Buck leans over to Ravi.

"Eddie was the pick coming out of the academy. Bobby pulled strings to get him."

Eddie blushes and everyone laughs.

"But Eddie, you remember what you said when I asked if anyone called you Diaz?"

Eddie smiles.

"Not if they want me to answer."

"So you didn't even call him Probie once?" Ravi asks.

Hen shrugs.

"Guess we didn't think he'd answer."
