Summary
“Might be a long shift, there’s a tsunami alert, I’ll try to call around dinner if I can.” He pauses for a second, and then shakes his head.
They’re fine. Chris was at the movies with Paco, and they’ll probably go to a nearby park or something after. Abuela doesn’t go to the beach anymore since that seagull nearly took her snow cone from her hands, and Pepa hates clearing out sand from her shoes. They were out having a nice, normal day together. Everything’s fine. It’s all okay.
But still. His fingers finish typing his message.
“Be safe.”
WARNING – EARTHQUAKE/TSUNAMI ALERT
EVENT TYPE: SEAQUAKE MAGNITUDE 7.5
LOCATION: SANTA MONICA PIER, LOS ANGELES COUNTY*
Buck meets Chris. And then, a natural disaster later, he meets Eddie.

Summary
“Buck!” Eddie was already moving.
Oxygen tank forgotten at Bobby’s feet, turnout coat already halfway off because he needed the range of motion to check on Buck. The world tunneled—sirens, voices, the puff of dust off every bootfall—down to one point: Buck’s face up close, eyes too bright, lashes caked with grit. “Hey. Hey, look at me.”
Buck tried.
He blinked slow, mouth parted, a smear of soot curving up his cheekbone. His lips were almost colorless under the dust.
“Eddie,” he managed, voice frayed into a rasp. “M’good.”
“Yeah? Prove it.”
Eddie’s palm found the back of Buck’s turnout, guided him sideways to the tailboard of the engine. “Sit down.”_____________
Buck's caught right in the middle of a structural collapse and when he stumbles out, well, Eddie has to make sure he's actually okay.
This is, like 4.5k words of Eddie checking over Buck, sorry!Bookmarked by popular_8

Summary
Eddie looked up at Bobby and saw the same fear Eddie was feeling reflected in his Captain’s eyes. “What did you just say?” Bobby’s normal composure was slipping, not enough that anyone besides Eddie, Hen, or Chim could see it, but Eddie knew that Bobby was just as nervous as Eddie was.
The man from before answered. “Yeah, his name was Buck. He said that the two of them were on the pier when the wave first hit. He uh, he had a weird mark above his left eye, a scar or something. He had a pink shirt on and his kid was wearing a yellow striped shirt, I think?”“The son was named Christopher. Buck had me sit with him while he helped people onto the truck.”
Forget the truck bombing. This was the most scared Eddie had ever been.
Or: what if Eddie found out earlier that Buck and Christopher were on the pier and Buck was able to find Chris after losing him?
