Summary
No, the worst day of his life is one he doesn’t talk about.
One he can’t talk about.
Because talking about it means remembering it. And remembering it means letting himself feel everything he has spent years carefully locking away.
He can’t afford that.
There are people who need him to keep moving forward. People who need him to stay steady. To stay strong.
So when someone asks about the worst day of his life, he smiles, shrugs, and tells the lightning strike story instead.OR
Six years ago, half the world disappeared.
Buck didn't. Buck stayed.Six years later, everyone comes back.
and Buck... doesn't know what to do with that.Bookmarked by SimplySterek

Summary
“I told him you could help.” Christopher says with such confidence that Eddie’s heart jumps into his throat. Because to Eddie, this isn’t a fight he can win. “Please help him.”
“Christopher.” Eddie whispers and looks back down at the likely dying wild animal his son brought home.
“Please?” Christopher’s eyes are wide and wet and looking at him with such hope.
What can Eddie do? Say no? Of course not. “I’ll try, but Mijo, it looks pretty hurt.”
“You can save him.” Christopher insists. “I know you can.”
__
Or: Christopher saves a fox on a field trip that ends up not being a fox after all.

Summary
“I know what’s going on with you,” Eddie’s voice is practied, that same soothing drawl he uses with patients. Buck isn’t a patient; he’s his best friend, damnit! Buck sobs and grabs hold of Eddie’s shirt to shake the brunet weakly, but through the pain searing through his body, he can’t muster the strength to.
“Jus’- tell me! Am I dying?!” Buck sobs, unable to get a hold of his emotions. He feels all over the place, but the one constant is pain.
“Well,” Eddie starts, stops, and then forces the words out of his mouth at Buck’s harsher glare. “You’re pregnant, and currently in labor, Buck. That pain? Those are contractions, and that puddle is from your water breaking.” Oh, so Buck wasn’t prepared. Because… what?!

“That’s the fifth time I’ve hit my hip on the table,” he says, rubbing his side as if it’ll stop the sting. “Your kitchen is too small.”
“I know.” Eddie grabs for the butterknife and starts the precarious process of raking away the black streak without fucking up his masterpiece beneath. “We’ll look for a house with a bigger kitchen on Zillow after the bake sale.”
Buck makes a funny noise, like a raccoon caught in the trash. “What?”

“Who the hell is Evan?” Buck asks.
“Ummmmm, you?” Eddie draws in his bottom lip as a giggle makes an attempt at freedom. Doing this while wine-tipsy is making it significantly more difficult. “That’s your name.”
“That’s not my name to you.”
“That’s the name on our marriage license.”
What if you were GAY and at WINE NIGHT and you called your husband his LEGAL NAME to win MONEY… Eddie Diaz can relate.

Summary
Buck swipes his tongue over his blood-splattered lips, the metallic taste lingering on his tongue. Something sharp pinches the back of his hand, and he waits for the familiar, almost comforting sensation of pain medication to begin to flood through his veins.
The pain begins to recede to a more welcoming ache, though it continues to ripple across his pelvis in small waves. Buck’s body slumps against the rubble as the last of the adrenaline begins to leave his body. His vision swims in and out of focus, but one constant thought manages to break through the fog.
Eddie.
He needs them to know.

Summary
Then, Eddie straightens up and turns around, and Buck revises his assessment, because the front is cropped too. Evenly, which means a person did this on purpose.
The express purpose being to ruin Buck’s day and possibly his life.
The shirt stops right under his ribs. His stomach is just — out, the whole deliciously muscular span of it.
“Hey,” Eddie says, a crooked, boyish grin splitting across his face, as if he isn’t standing in his own driveway basically naked. “Wasn’t expecting you.”
“I-I, uh, texted. You weren’t answering.”
“Phone’s inside.” Eddie tips his head at the engine. “She’s leaking somewhere. Been out here since this morning trying to find it.” He swipes the back of his wrist across his forehead, and the gesture pulls the hem up another half inch.
Which is how he ends up looking at the sweatpants again. And the sweatpants, it turns out, are keeping no secrets. There is nothing on under there.
So now he’s standing on Eddie’s front lawn, stone-cold sober, at four in the afternoon, looking at the unmistakable outline of his best friend going commando.
Neat.
Or: Eddie wears a crop top. Buck sucks his dick about it.

“Are you homophobic?”
“What?”
“Will you be my boyfriend?”
“Yes,” Eddie answered, automatically, even though his mind had volunteered several other pressing questions, like what are you talking about and what is happening and did I recently sustain brain damage.
“Thanks,” said Buckley, and then he pushed Eddie back against the side of the firetruck and kissed him.
