Summary
“Yeah, yeah, he’s—he’s my kid, he’s my kid,” Buck tells her, tripping over his words in the effort to get this whole process to hurry the fuck up so he can see Chris.
There’s the sound of something hitting the floor from behind him, followed by what might be plastic bouncing off the shiny hospital tiles. The person at the desk looks up in surprise, over Buck’s shoulder, and he turns to look too.
Eddie’s standing there, Styrofoam cup rolling at his feet, coffee splattered all down the bottom of his faded blue jeans. The plastic lid of the cup skitters over the tile before coming to a stop a few feet away. He looks like someone punched him in the gut, absolutely shellshocked, something Buck can’t quite read behind the startled expression on his face.

Summary
The second picture is—oh. It’s of him and Eddie dancing during the Grease song, when Eddie had held him close and dipped Buck like he’d been doing it all his life. It’s—oh. He can’t believe Eddie’s not shown him this one before, because—there’s so much love contained inside this photograph, he can feel it seeping out of the phone and into his hands, liquid sunshine.
Buck’s head is thrown back, face scrunched in delighted laughter, and Eddie’s so close, beaming at him with nothing short of adoration. It’s pouring out of him, clear as day, the happiness in this single photo a tangible thing even over a year later.

Summary
The clothes are still heaped over the duvet messily, but the suitcase, the massive cross-country-move-sized suitcase, is open and in the centre of the room, and Buck is sitting sadly inside it.
“Oh, Buck,” Eddie says softly, torn between unbearable fondness and an ache that threatens to crack his breastbone.
Buck’s endless legs are pretzeled tight, criss-crossed and tucked under him where he’s squeezed himself into the suitcase. He barely fits—he’s curled himself uncomfortably small and his knees are indented by the zipper teeth on either end.
“Baby,” Eddie says, “do you wanna come with us?”

Summary
The kid with blood pouring down his shins is not so far from the dog lonely enough that he thinks breaking his housetraining is worth it for the ten minutes of berating that come with it, the ten minutes of undivided, if reluctant, attention.
Buck thinks, sometimes, that at least he wasn’t the kind of puppy that gets put in a sack and drowned at birth. He wasn’t always unwanted. And he isn’t anymore.
or, evan “i love you like a dog” buckley has only ever known how to love like, well, a dog, but maybe eddie diaz is the kinda guy to give a flea-bitten mongrel a forever home

Summary
“It’s just that—I died,” Buck continues, voice unsteady enough that Eddie wonders if this is the first time he’s acknowledged that out loud. “I died, and there’s so much more. There’s so much more I want to do, things I don’t even know I want to do yet, and I almost had the chance to have and live them taken away. I don’t want to die and regret missing out on everything else, Eddie.”
“So let’s make a list,” Eddie says. “Let’s do them.”
or, a bucket list that’s really about buck needing to make a change and an eddie who’s ready to do anything to see him fall in love with life again. it takes some crossing off for eddie to realise—the thing at the top of the list in his own heart? it’s been right here all along

Summary
But now he’s looking at this video, years later; he watches as the camera steadies and zooms in. It’s chaos and it happens in the blink of an eye, but at the center of it the lens settles on the familiar reflective flash of turnouts.
There’s a firefighter on their knees in the mud as rain beats down over the whole scene in steady, drenching sheets.
It’s only when his voice tears through the noise that Eddie realizes he’s looking at Buck.
Eddie finds the video footage of the well collapse; he finds that he has to do something about it.

Summary
“You okay?” he murmurs, his voice so low and soft that it would be inaudible were Buck not pressed entirely against him.
Buck lets out a breath. It trembles slightly with pain, and Eddie feels it reflected in his own chest. Against the pillow that they’re sharing, the scent of Buck’s curls in his nose, Eddie feels Buck give a tense shake of his head.

Summary
“You’re okay,” Buck murmurs into Eddie’s shoulder, so soft that he thinks it might not even be audible. But then Eddie turns his cheek to rest against Buck’s shoulder and he realizes that he’s heard it loud and clear. So Buck does the only thing he can think to do, and runs his hand lightly over Eddie’s back as he whispers it again. “You’re okay. You’re okay.”
It’s half for Eddie, and half for him.

Summary
It unravels, somewhere between a strawberry milkshake and a burger that drips grease onto the Formica table, when Christopher says:
“I have to go to church on Wednesday.”
Eddie pauses with a fry halfway to his mouth and dripping in ketchup, and glances over the table at him. “On Wednesday?” he repeats. “For what?”
Chris shrugs one shoulder. “There’s a-a healing service.”
Eddie slowly sets the fry back down on his tray as Christopher takes a bite of his burger. “Healing service,” Eddie says. He’s trying not to jump to conclusions— really, he is, both because he wants to give his parents the benefit of the doubt and because if this is going where he thinks it’s going, he might actually lose his mind.
“Yeah,” Christopher says. “It might be a good idea.”

“I have a trust fund,” he says. “And I’ve never touched it because I want to use it to pay for Christopher to go to college.”
For a long time, there was nothing that Buck wanted to use the money for. It felt dirty to him, a meaningless offering passed down to him from a family he didn’t fit into, one that didn’t want him. He felt itchy at the thought of using it for anything, for years.
But then there was a boy and his dad.
or, buck has been keeping a kinda sorta secret, and the parenting highs and lows of the college application process.

Summary
Christopher holds his hand out to Lucas, and Lucas— preoccupied with a green block this time— doesn’t move in his brother’s direction. And on Christopher’s features, something caves in a little bit. A flash of something young and vulnerable and faintly spearmint bitter in the crease of his brows behind familiar glasses.
And Buck and Eddie— just kind of miss it. Just this once.
Lucas takes his first steps; his big brother Christopher has some complicated feelings about it.

“You have a family, Buck,” Eddie says. “A baby.”
Buck’s eyes flash. “What are you saying, Eddie?” he asks. “What, that I—I’m not thinking about Lucas and Chris? About you? You think I’m not trying to get back home to you?” He shakes his head. “You have a monopoly on that or what?”
“No,” Eddie answers, scrambling. “That’s not— but— I’m not the one coming home an hour late all scraped up.”
Buck rolls his eyes, and something flashes through Eddie’s chest, threatening to climb into his throat.
“Like this couldn’t happen to you just as easily as me,” Buck says.

“Why—” Buck shakes his head a little, perplexed. “Why are you calling it Duckie?”
Eddie tilts his head. “Because it’s a duck, Buck.”
“You think that thing is a duck?”
“You don’t?” Eddie asks, equally incredulous.
And so commences the Diaz family war of 2027: Duckie vs Wilma.
