Summary
“It just feels like one of those times that school would tell you to go to a trusted adult. And, like, I don’t really want to go to Bobby or Aunt Maddie about this, and honestly Uncle Chim seems like he’d be kind of bad at giving advice, so –“

“Eddie,” Buck says, catching hold of Eddie’s arm and swinging him around so they’re facing each other. “People already have questions about us. It’s just that now, sometimes the answer will be yes.”
Eddie laughs again. “I haven’t even said yes yet, Buck.”

Summary
These days, them getting dressed for work together isn’t out of the ordinary. Neither is Buck waking Chris up for school while Eddie takes a shower, or Buck cooking breakfast while Eddie lingers nearby, going over the bills at the dining table, or Chris trying to finish up last night’s homework while they eat their eggs and bacon.
Buck likes the company. It isn’t the same as Abby or Taylor or…Tommy, cuddling at night while sneaking kisses underneath the sheets, but maybe he’ll let himself admit it’s better.
In Eddie's absence, Buck moves into his house. Now that Eddie and Chris are back, things are different. Not bad. Just different.

Still off balance, Buck slams his left heel onto the roof, heaving forward to catch the collar of that yellow shirt. And there’s no conscious decision making here.

Instead, his arms hurl the boy into the hands of another survivor...
And his right foot misses the edge.
OR
Buck catches Chris before he rolls off the firetruck, and it's him who falls back into the retreating waters of the tsunami. Unconscious and seriously injured, he's unaware that his team has been searching for him, never giving up as the days pass.
