Summary
“Quack, quack”
Billy does his best to ignore the sound and focus all his attention on the group of Salamanders, the kids aged 4-5 that he’s currently trying to teach to swim, fighting the urge to turn around and look. It’s for the best anyway. He can’t imagine getting the news that your kid drowned in 3 and a half feet of water would make for a very good Mother’s Day present.

Summary
Eddie knows he should thank God that Buck told them about his plan to go out with both Zane and Jade before he actually set anything up with either of them, but at the same time, he really wishes Buck had kept his big yapper of a mouth shut for once, because now this means that Eddie actually has to do something, say something, to Buck, before his best friend is off the market, if Eddie ever wants to stand a chance with him.

Summary
He stands, frozen, at the foot of the bed, and watches as Eddie parents his child.
When did that happen? he wonders, a buzzing alarm set loose in his head. The knowledge of it– the feeling that comes with it– crashes over him.
Eddie glances up, all dark eyes and warm concern when he’s the one in the hospital bed, and oh–
Buck loves him.
or: eddie gets hurt, theo has a crashout, and buck has a realization, in that order.

Summary
He fumbles for his phone, flicking open the app that records the date he got sober and how much time has passed. “Uh– Hi. I’m Buck, and I’m an addict. I’m five and a half months clean.”
Almost creepily in sync, the room responds, “Hi, Buck.”
Or: One of Buck's NA meetings.

Summary
“Alright,” Eddie shrugs, laissez-faire. He pulls Buck’s plate to the center of the table; pushes his own forward in kind. Then he begins a drawn-out circus routine of plucking an olive at a time up and out of the bowl and plopping them onto their respective dishes, one by one.
The delicate, repetitive movement of Eddie’s pinched fingers reminds Buck of picking the petals off of flowers. He loves me. He loves me not. He love—
An olive hits him square in the forehead.
“There,” Eddie says, resolute, as the pitted projectile tumbles to the ground at Buck’s feet. “Equal treatment.”
Or: Buck, Eddie, and the olive theory. Well, in theory.

Summary
Buck has his uniform shirt pulled on, but the material is stretched tight, giving away every dip and rise in Buck’s chest and stomach, clinging to his body in a way that makes Eddie think it’s wet and suctioned to his skin. It’s shrunk, probably in the wash, and there’s even a devastating strip of skin visible between the bottom of his shirt and the top of his pants.
“That’s too small,” Eddie says, a little stupidly.
“Yeah, noticed that, thanks,” Buck says with a laugh.
-
Buck's shirts shrink in the wash. Eddie loses his mind.

Summary
Hen and Chim share an air mattress in the living room, the only place one would really fit, while Eddie and Buck share Buck’s bed. Which, again, is fine. He has no problems sharing a bed with Eddie. He’s his best friend, of course, he’s fine with it.
There are the dreams, too. He’s had sex dreams every night for the past week, faceless people on their knees, featureless bodies for him to grind against.
Tonight, he thinks he’s asleep, grinding his cock against the backside of someone.
