Summary
It’s not sudden or shocking. Just there. Something inevitable Eddie kept trying to rename into safer shapes. Best friend. Partner. Family. Anything except the truth sitting underneath all of it. His chest caves inward sharply.
Pepa’s expression changes immediately. “Hey,” she says. Eddie presses the heel of his hand against his mouth hard enough to hurt. His eyes are burning violently. Not now. Not here. Not after spending thirty-three years keeping this contained.
“I tried so hard,” Eddie whispers. Pepa goes still. The words slip out before he can stop them. “I tried so hard to be right.” his voice breaks on the last word.
And it finally destroys him. The exhaustion from spending his entire life trying to earn the right to exist comfortably inside himself. Tears spill before he can stop them. Eddie laughs once immediately afterward, humiliated on instinct.

Summary
“And then this one says, ‘Rawr!’ But not a scary rawr because he’s a nice dinosaur. He just wants a friend.”
Jee nodded with absolute seriousness. “We can be his friends.”
Maddie’s heart squeezed. She watched Theo carefully place the dinosaur into Jee’s tiny hands. “So he won’t be lonely.”
Just like Evan, always making sure nobody was left out. Without thinking, she smiled and called across the room. “Evan, honey, can you hand Jee the blue block too?”

Summary
"I need you to wake up." His throat burns. "Chris needs you." A pause, with a shaking inhale. "So do I." The words slip out before he can catch them.
Buck closes his eyes, and squeezes Eddie's hand once. The nurse enters a moment later. His time was up. Buck steps back reluctantly.
The medication begins dripping into Eddie's IV. Slow and steady. Buck watches the monitor before he turns his back to leave. He watches the numbers change, and watches Eddie sink further away.
Everything feels distant, Buck looks down one last time while the nurse guides him toward the door. Buck turns back, just once as Eddie lies motionless beneath the hospital lights. As he walks away, his gut tightens, everything screaming at him to turn back, to stay with Eddie. And somewhere far away, beyond the machines and pain and fear.
Eddie wakes up.
OR
Eddie is critically injured, goes into a coma and dreams that he and Buck are married

Summary
Buck meets Isabel Diaz in a Latin supermarket before Eddie moves to LA. Only, Buck knows of Eddie as 'Edmundo' and Eddie knows Buck as 'Evan'.
"I thought you were stupid hot when I first met you – which, I told Abuela by the way. Literally called after that shift and told her about my frustratingly hot new coworker. When I came to her house with you, she laughed at me and asked if you were my new coworker.”
Eddie laughs, still a little teary.

Summary
He was in love with Eddie.
He loved Eddie.
It wasn’t just some cliché crush-on-your-best-friend kind of thing.
It was all consuming love that was once in history described as force strong enough to build entire civilizations or to crush them into fine dust.
A love so huge that giving up your own life to spare theirs hurts less then living in the world without your soulmate.
***

Summary
Buck tries to commit the frame to memory, wills himself not to forget the important details—Eddie on his knees in front of him, his nails seeking purchase along Buck's thighs as he drinks him down, his drawn-out gasps when Buck returns the favor.
After, when Buck reaches out for quiet confirmation in the dark, asks him, "Good?"
Eddie tells him, earnest and hard-won, "Everything is good with you," and Buck can bask in the illusion of a world where he almost believes it.
Buck is trying to leave the past where it belongs. Then he wins an all-expenses-paid trip to Italy, convinces Eddie to join him, and falls headfirst into (not so) casual sex with his best friend.
