    Summary

    “You got one too,” Theo pointed, touching the beauty mark under Eddie’s eye.

    Eddie felt his cheeks go red. “Not a birthmark, just a mark.”

    “I want it,” Theo said determinedly, walking back to the table to grab his pens. Eddie really should have told him to stop drawing on his face, but he just watched in awe as Theo grabbed a brown marker and ran off to the bathroom.

    When Theo returned to the living room a few moments later, he had drawn a small, brown dot underneath his eye to match Eddie’s. He was looking up at Eddie through his lashes, beaming with pride at the spot he’d created.

    Eddie lost it.

    OR; Eddie Diaz knows he is in love with Evan Buckley. Theo's cuteness sends him into a crisis. He's a yearner, your honour.

    Summary

    Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.

    But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.

    Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.

     

    (or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

    Summary

    "Come on, Buck. Let it out. I hate this, too. I hate leaving you. Tell me how much you hate it. Yell at me, Buck. Come on, yell at me,” he begs.

    Buck snaps. He pushes off the couch and crowds into Eddie’s space.

    “Is this what you wanted?” He spits, pushing hard enough against Eddie’s chest that he takes a step backwards. “Hmm? You want me to lose it on you?”

     

    Or, Eddie cannot handle Buck pretending to be fine about his move to Texas. He, in fact, refuses to let him.

    Instantly heartbreaking then so so good and sweet. “Yeah, but you love me anyway.” “I do love you. I love you all of the ways.”

    Summary

    “Which do you think makes you feel most loved?”

    Eddie thought for a long moment. Too long, maybe. Then he shrugged, “Honestly, Buck? I have no idea.”

    Buck’s brows pinched up. “What do you mean? When have you felt the most loved?”

    “Don’t make a big thing of this, Buck. Promise?”

    Buck made a show of crossing his heart, brows still raised curiously.

    “I’m not sure I’ve ever… really felt loved in a relationship? I’m not convinced that I know what makes me feel loved…”

    OR -

    After finding out that Eddie doesn't know what his love language is, Buck sets about finding out for him. He begins a five week experiment, one for each love language, to figure out which will make Eddie feel the most loved.

    Insanely, devastatingly beautiful. The essence of love itself.

    Summary

    “…I never thought I could have this life.”

    Eddie’s heart squeezes, and his chest aches, and he thought love like this was only in fairy tales and movies. He never thought he could have this life either.

    The most beautiful and heart-wrenching piece of fiction I have ever read. I never wanted to leave.
