Summary
“I feel fucking explosive, Buck. Like I’m about to go off at any second. I don’t want you caught in my mess.”
His eyes sting. At the very least, Buck contains the sound of it in his voice. “Eddie, I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” he replies, “but I already am.”
Eddie self-implodes. Christopher, seeking refuge, flees to Buck—whose priorities amount to, in varying order: take in the kid, get Eddie to talk to him, and keep the three of them afloat in the process. (Oh, and Tommy’s there too. He thinks.)

Summary
Adriana doesn’t tell their parents that she’s going to LA. She doesn’t tell Eddie, either—or ask, for that matter.
She does ask Chris, and he thinks it’s a good idea—says as much, on the phone, and doesn’t say much else.
“Buck will probably be hovering,” is what Chris does volunteer.
It still surprises her when the man who opens the door is not Eddie. It’s—Captain America, is the thing that actually comes to mind—a man close to a foot taller than she is, if not more than that, with blond curls and broad shoulders, and he’s got a question in his very blue eyes that’s probably less friendly than the one he actually asks her.
“Uh,” he says. “Can I help you?”
—
Or: Adriana arrives in LA. Maddie has been here the whole time.

Summary
“His shirt’s on inside out,” Josh commented to Linda. Eddie opened the door to the breakroom and tried to let it close behind him, but that did not deter either of his colleagues. “Is this a walk of shame?”
“Well, I am walking,” Eddie confirmed, rounding the counter and beelining to the empty coffee pot. “And full of shame.”
“What happened?”
“I stood him up,” he answered, shortly.
After what was probably a very involved silent conversation between Linda and Josh, Josh said, “Eddie, if you aren’t ready, I’m sure he’d understand.”
“I am ready,” he said, detaching the water reservoir with more force than necessary. “I didn’t do it on purpose.”
-----
Eddie Diaz has been trying to get Firefighter Buckley to agree to a date for the last two months; so no one is more surprised than he is when he finally gets a chance—and blows it.
Or: Dispatchers Eddie and Maddie are both looking for a second chance. They just don't realize they want one from the same person.

Summary
“May I have this dance, Evan Buckley?” Eddie asks, the grin on his face only growing wider. He tightens his grip on Buck’s hand and tries tugging him closer. Of course, Buck lets him.
“Chris is right, you are cringe,” Buck mocks, yet the redness growing on his cheeks betrays him. Eddie lets out a fake scoff, and despite Buck’s words, he still lets Eddie pull him in. After all, he’s a weak man when it comes to Eddie Diaz.
Yeah, okay, so maybe he’s kinda in love with Eddie. Just a little bit. Like a totally normal amount. It certainly doesn’t consume every crevice of his body, each little nook and cranny. Eddie most definitely doesn’t take up every corner of his mind at every single moment of the day. His heart doesn’t beat any faster, nor do his palms get sweaty just at the thought of Eddie. Buck most surely isn’t harboring shitty poetry in the notes app of his phone just about Eddie’s eyes.
Okay, that’s a lie. God, Buck hates it when Maddie’s right. He should make her an edible arrangement or something.
OR: Buck comes to some realisations while slow dancing with his totally straight best friend.
