Summary
Buck is trying to choose between two jars of pesto - one red, one green when a throat clears next to him and he stills, a jar in each hand. With a quick turn of his head he finds exactly who he thought he would, unfortunately recognising them from the sound of their throat clear, which isn't a good thing.
“Tommy, hey.” Buck says in greeting as he returns both jars of pesto back onto the shelf and turns to face his ex fully. “I didn’t see you there.”

Summary
“He’s not,” Christopher interrupted after he swallowed, his eyebrows furrowed, “that’s not- no. Bucks not my uncle.”
His abuela waved a dismissive hand, “Oh, of course not, I know that. Isn’t that a thing you young ones do? Refer to your parents' close friends as aunts or uncles?”
And here’s the thing, yes. He refers to Hen and Karen as his aunties. He’s never blinked at that. He routinely tells people that he and Denny are basically cousins.
Sure, he even calls Maddie and Chim his aunt and uncle without a second thought, but that’s because - well, that’s because..
“He’s not my uncle,” Christopher repeated, “He’s my other dad.”

OR Five times Christopher Diaz sets the record straight on who Buck is to him and the one time he makes sure Buck knows it too.
(and a buddie confession just for funsies)

Summary
“What if they never get over it? You said your sister came out and they didn’t talk to her for three years, and the only reason they went back to it was because she was in a car accident!”
Eddie shrugs. “Okay so we give it a year and I reverse into a hydrant.”
This finally makes Buck stop and turn to him. Good, progress. “This isn’t a joke, Eddie,” he says seriously.
Or: After a horrifying dinner with Eddie's parents, Buck loses the fight to the guilt of not being enough for Eddie. Temporarily.

Summary
“Eddie, you’ve got a message,” Hen calls out casually.
Eddie turns around with a mouthful of cookie, a quizzical lift of his eyebrow and a quick wave of his phone. “That’s not me, my phone’s right here.”
Hen stops mid-page-turn and lets her gaze wander back to the phone on the coffee table even though the screen must’ve long gone dark again. “Then why was I just looking at a picture of your kid?”
Buck freezes, dough sticking to his hands.
Oh.
Oh no.

or: Buck didn't think twice when he set a photo of Christopher as his lockscreen. Eddie, however, spirals a little when he finds out.
