    Summary

    Tommy stared down at the picture and didn’t move an inch as he tried to process what he was seeing. 

    It was of Evan, his pale skin glistening with sweat as he smiled, holding the door open for someone outside of his apartment building. 

    Mason put down another picture and then another, making the cold shock in Tommy’s veins turn brittle with each one being presented to him. It was obvious from the photographs that Evan hadn’t known his picture was being taken. It had to have been captured with a long lens of some kind. Evan, at his apartment building. Evan, by his Jeep outside of the grocery store. Evan, in his uniform, taking out the trash at the back of the firehouse, alone and surrounded by shadows. 

    “I really wished you’d said yes, man.” Mason leaned back and tipped the picture up to stare at him. “Cute kid. Got that birthmark thing? He’s a firefighter too? Calls himself Buck, right? Let’s take this somewhere else, huh? You can tell me all about him.”  

    An old army buddy of Tommy’s comes into town with a proposition. When Tommy refuses, he learns that Evan Buckley is a pretty good tool for persuasion.

    Summary

    When Dennis agrees to be the temporary on-site doctor for a Pittsburgh Penguins hockey game as a favor to a classmate from medical school, he’s not expecting much. He’s not the first-choice to be team doctor, and he’s definitely not a hockey guy. His plan is simple: hide out on the sidelines until he can go home and crawl into bed. Funny how plans change.

     

    Or: Ilya takes a slapshot to the face and gets treated by a doctor who looks like a wet kitten.

    Summary

    Eddie huffs and throws his hands out. “I don’t know what you want from me, Buck. Do you want me to say I hate it? ’Cause I don’t!”

    “I want you to tell me the truth.”

    “I am telling you the truth! I’m sorry it’s not apparently whatever it is you want to hear, but I can’t actually read your mind, and I don’t know what it is you want me to say. I like the house. I liked the party. I don’t like being treated like a damn stranger.”

    Eddie sees the moment Buck’s restraint finally snaps. “Then stop making yourself one!”

    Or

    Buck hosts a housewarming party, everyone keeps asking Eddie what he thinks of the new place, and he can't figure out why it feels like lying when he says he likes it.

    Summary

    There’s a weird feeling hiding between the hangers as Samira picks apart her wardrobe. A layered, scratchy sort of disappointment.

    It’s got nothing to do with her plans, of course. She's been looking forward to this date all week.

    Abbot just made those case reports sound really interesting.

    ---

    5 times Samira's date ends at the PTMC + 1 time it starts there

    Summary

    "Should we — should we tell Bobby?" Buck keeps his eyes straight ahead as he pushes their grocery cart through the produce section.

    "Tell Bobby what?" Eddie asks distractedly as he darts off to grab the particular brand of cheddar that Chris likes, dumping it in the cart.

    "About — you know. Our change in status. Or, maybe it goes straight to HR? I think we tell Bobby first, though."

    Eddie puts his hand on the cart handle and stops it rolling. "Our change in status," he says slowly.

    He reaches over and presses a fingertip to the spot where Buck's neck joins with his shoulder. He's touching Buck's St. Christopher medal necklace chain, Buck realizes, which is kind of a weird thing to do out of the blue, in the middle of the produce section, but then Eddie pulls back and turns away, starts searching through the avocados.

    "I don't think we have to report anything to HR," he says in a completely normal and casual tone of voice. "It's not like we got married."

    Buck is so happy to have Chris and Eddie back in his life, and so confused about what it all means.
