    Summary

    Eddie listens to the voicemail later. Buck sounds like he’s at a grocery store, absentmindedly talking into the phone. “Oh, I guess you’re with your sisters. Sorry to miss you. I just wanted to tell you about this call we had last night, but I gotta hear your reactions, so, later. Okay, uh, I guess I’ll just call back. Or text.”

    It ends abruptly, without a goodbye. Eddie replays it a second time, closes his eyes as he sits in the truck. For a moment, he can pretend Buck is sitting in the passenger seat next to him. For a moment, Eddie is back in Los Angeles and his best friend is dragging him through the grocery store.

    The voicemail ends, Eddie opens his eyes, and the fantasy breaks. Eddie is still in El Paso, parked in front of the house he’s renting, and there’s no one in the passenger seat with him.

    Eddie moves to Texas. Buck moves into his house. There's a love story somewhere in here.

    Summary

    There’s a new resident moving into the suite across from Buck’s.

    “What’s his name?” Buck asks.

    “Eddie Diaz,” Nurse Corra tells him.“Hey, you know Eddie is also a retired firefighter."

    Eddie Diaz, new recruit, a voice echoes in his mind.

    “Huh.” Buck says. "Never heard of him."

    Summary

    Day twenty-three, change of tactics.

    I feel like you both are being dumb.

    Dad unfolds this one and reads it and stops and reads it again like he's hoping the words will rearrange themselves into something less insulting.

    "Excuse me?"

    "It's my feeling." Chris spears a dumpling with his chopsticks. "You can't argue with my feeling, that's not how therapy works."

    "I can ask for clarification on what you mean."

    "Clarification about what? It's very clear. You—" he points at Dad, "both—" he swings to point at Buck, "dumb. Three words. Simple sentence structure. I learned about that in English class."

    Or,
    Chris weaponizes his therapy homework to make his emotionally constipated dad admit he's in love with Buck.

    Summary

    Buck is a lot. Eddie knows Buck is a lot. Buck knows Buck is a lot.

    But every single person who ever said that to Buck said it like a warning. Like a disclaimer, a heads-up, a you-should-know-what-you're-getting-into before getting too close so they can't say they weren't told.

    And Eddie has never, not once, wanted Buck to be less.

    The surplus, the overflow, the fourth tangent on a story that started somewhere else entirely — that's not the price of Buck. That is Buck. And more of Buck has only ever meant more to love, and Eddie spent enough years running on empty to know what it means when someone fills up every room they walk into so completely that Eddie is overflowing with it most days.

    "Eddie. Are you listening?"

    Eddie nods. "Gym Katie is alone at the gym and she's upset."

    Buck blinks. His mouth is still open from the sentence he was about to say, his hands still mid-gesture, and he looks genuinely thrown, like he expected to catch Eddie zoning out and instead got caught himself. Caught being heard.

    "You were listening," Buck says, a little breathlessly.

    Eddie smiles. "I'm always listening."

    Or,
    Eddie finds beauty in the mundane.

    Summary

    “Okay, this is—” Eddie runs a hand through his hair, growing increasingly distressed, “you guys are purposely missing the point here. Buck, I’m not getting high with you, dude.”

    “Uh, why not?” Buck asks, tilting his head. He has the audacity to sound genuinely puzzled.

    “We can’t. We’re firefighters,” Eddie says, confused that Buck is confused.

    Buck gives him a sad smile. “Not right now, we aren’t. And we won’t be, Eddie, not for a while.”

    Buck and Eddie get injured on the job and decide to smoke a lot of weed about it.
