    Summary

    Pepa takes a bite, holding them all in suspense as she chews. “Evancito, do you think my niece and nephew are interchangeable?”

    Buck chokes. Eddie slaps him on the back, hard, until he stops coughing.

    Sophia wouldn’t have known to do that. She isn’t a medical professional, and he certainly doesn’t know about Buck’s history with choking. For now, Eddie is still the Diaz who knows Buck best. The one who protects him and looks out for him.

    “So,” Sophia says, drawing out the word. “I’m taking up hot yoga.”

    “You’re already hot,” Buck says.

    Eddie’s blood pressure is not up to this challenge.

    Or: Eddie's sister comes to town. Eddie takes everyone joking about Buck finally finding a way to marry into the Diaz family so normally. So deeply normally.

    Summary

    On Harvey’s big, celebratory night, he meets Mike in a bar. As the initial sparks illuminate the cracks of self-destruction in Mike’s armor, Harvey realizes two things: he can’t take advantage of Mike’s vulnerability. He can’t stay away either.

    Summary

    “Is everything okay?” Eddie asks, his tone shifting. The background noise crackling through the phone quiets somewhat, till all Buck can really pick out is the muted rubber impacts against concrete and indistinguishable shit-talking. It sounds fun over there. If you’re into basketball. Which Eddie is.

    “Yeah, it’s fine. Well, no,” Buck says, and he knows that isn’t helpful. He remembers the last and only time he’d gone to one of those games, when he’d very swiftly destroyed both the mood and Eddie’s ankle because he couldn’t handle his own feelings. He wonders when he’ll stop being a lumbering bull in Eddie’s life.

    “Are you alright?” Eddie asks, slow, like he’s talking to a scared child on a call, “Did something happen?”

    “I’m fine. It’s just– My mom died.”

    OR: Margaret Buckley dies. Buck is fine, but Eddie keeps showing up, and Buck really doesn't understand why.

    Summary

    Maddie’s eyebrows rise, and she looks past Buck to Eddie, the corners of her mouth curling upwards. “My kisses don’t work on Uncle Eddie,” she says, and if she thinks Buck misses the way she says it—Uncle Eddie—she’s sorely mistaken. He knows exactly what she’s doing.

    And he realizes too late that that means he should probably be afraid.

    Jee gasps, eyes going wide. “What?” She asks breathlessly. “Then how will his ouchies get better?”

    Maddie hums thoughtfully—performatively—before her eyes slowly slide over to Buck. He starts to shake his head, unsure exactly what she’s about to do but deeply aware that he’s not going to like it. “I have heard,” she says, leaning into her like she has a secret, “That best friend kisses are just as good as mommy kisses.” She tosses her hair over her shoulder and looks at Chimney. “And almost as strong as daddy kisses, too.”

    Summary

    “So, if he’s not your boyfriend, does that mean he’s single?”

    Eddie’s stomach churns at the question. 

    “Um, well—”

    Tom cuts him off.

    “Do you think he’d say yes if I asked him out?”

    Eddie doesn't know why he does it. He just knows that the idea of this man, Tom, wanting to ask Buck out makes him feel like he's going to throw up, so before he can even think about it, he blurts out—

    “Oh, sorry, man, I just meant that he’s my husband, not my boyfriend.”

    or; When Buck and Eddie are in Nashville for the firefighter competition, Eddie accidentally tells one of the other firefighters that he and Buck are married. It goes about as well as you'd expect.
