    Summary

    Eddie was standing in the middle of the dorm with wild eyes, looking panic-stricken, clutching a crying, swaddled baby to his chest.

    For a long moment, Buck just blinked at him, trying to process what he was seeing.

    “You’re holding a baby,” he eventually blurted out.

    or

    Step one: Become enemies with your college roommate. Step two: Start raising a baby together. Step three: ... Good luck.

    Summary

    “I…” She brings a finger up to Eddie’s face, tracing the outline from inches away. “I want to try putting makeup on you.”

    His eyes widen. “Really?”

    “Well, I’m no MUA. But y’know…I’ve always looked at you and thought: Eddie Diaz would look pretty with eyeshadow on.”

    “You— Seriously?”

    She giggles, then leans back against the armrest. “Don't act like I’m the first person to call you pretty, Eddie.”

    Soon after Buck and Eddie get together, with Maddie still on maternity leave, she reaches out to Eddie, leading to a blossoming friendship and complicated feelings.

    Summary

    “I’m going for a run.”

    “It’s nearly one in the morning.” Buck said leaning up on his elbow.

    “I won’t be able to sleep yet.”

    Buck grabbed his wrist before he could leave. “Just come here, lay down, I’ll help you sleep.”

    “You sleep I’ll just run til I’m tired.”

    And then he was gone.

     

    Or how different things would be (or exactly the same) if Eddie had bipolar disorder.

    Summary

    After a while, he whispers it, barely louder than the rustle of his sheets.

    A wish, a prayer, maybe it’s a plea.

    I want to know everything.

    It spills out of him in the stillness that follows, not loud, not dramatic, just the quiet truth of it.

    “I wish you’d let me know you. I wish you trusted me with the parts you never show. The fears you don’t name. The secrets you keep buried so deep even you don’t look at them for long.

    I wish I’d known you before life made you flinch. Before war and heartbreak, before your smile got quieter. I wish I’d seen the kid you were, so I could understand how you became the man I’m—

    Buck pauses, the words catching in his throat.

    —the man I’ve fallen in love with, without a shred of logic or timing or self-preservation.

    I wish you’d let me know you.”

    Or; Buck makes a wish and it comes true. So he spends the following twenty four hours with Eddie aging up three years every time he falls asleep.

    Summary

    “Family doesn’t have to be you, and Christopher, and a woman that could maybe be his mother. It can just be you and Christopher. It can be you, and Christopher, and the people around you that love you enough to never stop trying.”

    “Like Buck.” Eddie doesn’t mean to voice it, but it feels nice to do it anyway.

    “Sure,” Frank nods. There is a smile on his face, one that Eddie doesn’t think he’s seen before. “Like Buck.”

    ***

    Eddie Diaz’s life is going great. He’s in therapy, he’s got a great girlfriend, a great kid, his friend is getting married to the woman of his dreams, and his best friend just came out to him.

    Now his best friend is dating their new friend.

    Things are going great. He promises.
