Summary
By the time his last class rolls around, Eddie is on the verge of tears. He fucked up. He never should’ve bothered with college, this clearly isn’t the right path for him. He’s rounding the corner, ready to get this last class over with and then call it a day when it’s like a wall materializes in front of him. He smacks into it, stumbling and nearly falling until two callused hands grip his upper arms, steadying him.
“W-whoa, sorry man. I did not see you there.”
Startled, Eddie glances up. He’s met with bright blue eyes, blinking at him sheepishly. Something in Eddie's face must show the close proximity he is to a breakdown because the look shifts to concern, and the man doesn't let go of him.
“Hey, you okay?”

Summary
“Dad, promise you’ll be back for dinner?” Christopher’s words echoed in his ears.
“I’m short a man tonight,” Bobby continued, cutting through his thoughts. “Two, actually. One called in sick, the other’s stuck out of town. Ravi agreed to fill in for one.”
“I… I can’t, Cap. I’m sorry. I promised my kid I'd be at dinner tonight,” Eddie sighed, fighting the urge to check his watch again.
Bobby nodded, like he’d expected that response “I get it. Family first. But if you could—”
“Cap, please. It’s just… No,” Eddie cut in, pleading more than he meant. “I can't miss it. Not this year. Christopher is counting on me. He needs at least one parent tonight, and Buck’s not home yet.”
The words hung there, heavier than the chatter in the background. Bobby had known Eddie for over a year now —long enough to hear the stories, the mentions of Buck slipping into conversations like echoes. He had been Eddie's anchor, unseen but ever-present.
“Yeah,” Bobby sighed quietly. “I had to ask, I’m sorry.”
Eddie managed a half-smile. “I know. I’m sorry, too.”
or, a Christmas in the Buckley-Diaz household.

Summary
It isn't Eddie's fault, technically, that he didn't tell anyone at the 118 that he was married.
Okay, so maybe it was. Just a little bit. But in his defence, Buck is away for work all the time, and none of them technically asked.
It is getting pretty hard to hide the late night calls, though.
