    Summary

    The front door swung open and Eddie stepped out in all of his annoyed glory. “Buck, what’s taking so- oh,” he said, his face scrunched up like he’d just smelled something bad.

    “Oh,” Tommy echoed, the smile on his face freezing into a pained grimace as the dots in his mind started to connect.

    “What are you doing here?” Eddie demanded, arms crossed over his chest.

    “He came to check on me. See how I was doing after the whole ‘Bobby is back from the dead’ thing,” Buck was quick to explain, since Tommy’s brain was still too busy rebooting. “Isn’t that nice?”

    If anything, that set Eddie off even more. “What, and he couldn’t do that over the phone?”

    Or, the one in which Tommy finds out Eddie's back from Texas

    Summary

    “What you’ve done here – it can’t be easy. I’m a little upset that you didn’t feel like you could tell me or your mother about Christopher, but being a father really suits you.”

    “Uh…”

    That confused look was back.

    “What do you think I haven’t told you?”

    The idea that he was wrong about Christopher’s parentage settled in.

    “That you fathered Christopher back in your more promiscuous days?”

    -

    Five times people assumed Chris was Buck's son + one time Eddie confirmed it.

    Summary

    There’s a nudge at his hand, a careful tap that finally makes him look up for the first time since they got there. Evan wipes his face hastily, trying to sniffle up the water in his eyes before anyone can see. He doesn’t want to cry, but sometimes he just can’t help it.

    Because that’s his brother. That’s his big brother, in a hospital bed, with dark smudges under his eyes and a really bad cough that keeps getting worse, but he’s smiling at Evan like it’s all going to be okay.

    All Evan heard was the machine. He counted the sounds, hoarded them, and wished he could just sit there and listen to the proof of his brother’s heart beating forever.

    Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep –

    ***

    Daniel needed more. More surgeries, more transfusions, more time. Evan couldn't give that to him, but maybe, years later, thanks to Eddie and Christopher and Bobby, he'll realize. He was always enough for Daniel.

    Summary

    Buck looks at Eddie, for the first time in eight years. The changes in his face aren’t as drastic as they were for Chris – Eddie didn’t have puberty to get through. But his age shows, in the crows feet around his eyes and the slight frown lines. Before he left, Eddie was still in shape for working in the LAFD. Eddie looks – softer. Buck has no doubt he’s kept up with his fitness, but being CPAT-ready is a different deal.

    And despite himself – Buck thinks Eddie looks good. It’s like a pang in his chest, when he finally lets himself acknowledge it. Eddie is older but just as handsome, even though he looks as awkward as Buck feels. His traitorous heart does a little flip, like there’s a chance of anything happening.

    or: Buck hasn’t seen Christopher Diaz in eight years – not since his dad moved back to El Paso, breaking Buck’s heart in the process. He’s surprised Christopher wants anything to do with him when he moves back to Los Angeles for college, but Christopher is adamant on reconnecting. But with Christopher comes Eddie, and Buck has to contend with the fact that he never got over him.
