Summary
There’s crackling silence on the other end, and then a woman’s voice comes through, shaky but clear, “Is this Eddie Diaz?”
His frown deepens. “Yes,” he says. “Is everything okay?”
“Mr. Diaz,” the lady begins, stops, coughs, and then starts over with, “Mr. Diaz, there’s been an accident.”

Summary
“Mr. Diaz?”
Eddie looks up, wild-eyed and jittery, and sees a nurse standing in front of him. “Yeah?” he says, but his voice is thick with disuse so he clears his throat and tries again. “Is he okay?”
“The procedure went well,” they answer, nodding. “He’ll be waking up soon, if you want to come with me.”
He stands quickly, knocking his knee into the edge of the table in front of him so hard he knows it’s going to bruise. “I—yeah—I do. Please.” He scrubs a hand over his face and tosses his empty cup of coffee into the trash. “Thank you.”

Summary
“Have you seen Eddie?”
Albert looks up at him, frowning. “Did they not tell you?” he asks, wrinkling his brow. He wipes the back of his hand over his forehead, smearing soot and sweat and wet ash like watercolor paint. “He’s on his way to the hospital. Jonah’s with him.”

“Oh, oh. I can’t believe this. I can’t believe you.” Buck grips Bobby’s hands as he goes down to the ground, looking up at Eddie with hot fire in his big blue eyes. “You’re gonna owe me so many blowjobs when I wake up. D’you hear me, Eddie Diaz? You owe me so bad.”

Summary
Eddie’s day is going pretty well until he’s held hostage at gunpoint in the Dollar Store five minutes from his house.
Okay, that’s a lie. Not the being held hostage at gunpoint bit—that’s very much real, if the gun in his face is anything to go by—but the good day part.
Because it’s been a bad day. A shit day. A stupid day. A horrible, no good, very bad, awful, ugly day, and it all started when he woke up this morning.

Summary
“You know,” Eddie begins, running his fingers through Buck’s damp, frizzy curls, “when I booked this cabin for the weekend, I had plans for us to fuck real nasty by the fire.”
Buck laughs—an ugly, congested noise that sounds like it hurts when it gets caught in his chest—and tips his head back to meet Eddie’s gaze in the low light of the blazing fire. His big blue eyes are puffy and his cheeks are red, hot by the fire and chapped by the wind; he looks like a kid, almost, sitting on the floor and wrapped tight in a large, black fleece blanket with nothing beneath except a pair of boxers and fuzzy socks.
“Well,” Buck croaks, “we’re still by the fire, at least.”

Summary
She nearly throws him against the engine, uncaring of the people watching on. “Stay out of the way,” she tells him, tells them, pointedly looking from Eddie to Buck. Her eyes—big and brown—flash beneath the lights. “Do you hear me? I know neither of you expected to ever be on this side of the line, but we are going to take care of it and you boys will not do a goddamn thing. Am I understood?”
“You want us to just sit here and watch our home burn?”
“That’s exactly what I want you to do, Diaz,” she bites, not unkindly. “That’s exactly what I expect you to do.”

Summary
“Hey, baby,” he says, thick with lack of sleep and disuse. “Glad to see you awake.”
“Hey, Captain Diaz.” Eddie squeezes Buck’s fingers. “Holding vigil at my bedside, huh? Don’t you have some firefighters to be bossing around instead?”
Buck smiles because that’s what Eddie wants him to do. “It’s pretty easy to write myself off a few shifts when my lieutenant’s in the hospital.

Summary
Buck’s big blue eyes sparkle. “You’re so cute, did you know that?” he asks, leaning close enough Eddie can count the small red-brown-orange freckles all across his nose. “Even when you’re red from poison ivy.”
Red. Red from the poison ivy. Yeah, yep, that’s exactly what he’s so red for. Absolutely.
Burning from the outside in, he scoffs and shoves Buck away from his space. “You’re gonna get it if you don’t back up,” he says, a half-hearted plea for space before he loses his shit.

“Oh, my God,” Buck says, again, and spins in a cute little circle that makes his dick flop as he looks for something Eddie can’t see. “My dick broke you.”
“Your dick did not break me.”
