Summary
Fuck.
Buck scrubs a hand down his face. He’s got no idea what he’s supposed to do here.
He knows what his parents are like. He has his own childhood to draw from, and Isaac doesn't deserve that. He deserves to grow up surrounded by love, and if nothing else, Buck can give him that.
But Buck is also a twenty-six year old probationary firefighter, living in his girlfriend’s apartment while she travels the world. He’s not exactly in a position to look after a kid.
“Okay.” It comes out in a rush of air. “I’m gonna come get you."

Summary
Buck and Eddie are in perfect agreement: hide their relationship by any means necessary. Nobody needs to know, just yet.
It’s not like it’s worth shouting across the rooftops or anything.
(Except both of them want to do just that.)
OR
Buck and Eddie desperately try to get the other to crack and reveal their relationship first, and they have no clue they’re both playing the same game.

Summary
It’s a disaster. There’s nothing for Eddie to do now but rip the Bandaid off.
“I’vebeenlookingatyourGooglehistory,” he says, all at once.
Buck blinks. “You’ve been what?”
“I’ve been—” Eddie breaks off with a huff, and then forces his eyes back up to Buck’s. “I went to the Google home page,” he starts again. “To search the thing about the coupling nut. But then when I clicked on the search bar, the recent history was not mine, because—”
A look of comprehension has begun to dawn on Buck’s face, suddenly.
“Because I was logged in on the iPad,” he says slowly.
- in other words: the slow-moving catastrophe of buck and eddie sharing a search history.

Summary
"He is involved because he cares. And he is more than just Evan's boss. He is his friend, someone Evan knows he can go to, no matter what happens". Unlike you, Maddie left unsaid but everybody got the message.
"Isn't he the same captain he sued after his accident?” Phillip asked ironically.
"Bobby was trying to protect him. He and Evan talked things out and everything is okay now," answered Maddie.
"Protecting him, from what? Himself? Because that I can believe," he mocked.

Summary
Buck sighs, tipping his head back slightly. "I got us lost, then I got us harassed by a bunch of idiots, and you had to deal with it all by yourself."
"Because you were kidnapped."
Because I love you, Buck barely manages to hold back. The real thing he had to apologize for, that he couldn't allow to escape from his lips. Sorry, I'm in love with you, so I can't help but want to spend more time with you. Sorry, I'm in love with you, and everyone can see it. Sorry, I'm in love with you, and I'd rather you never find me than get hurt on my behalf. I know it's selfish. I just love you. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
9x13 coda: two apologies for being in love.

Summary
“Buck.” Athena says flatly.
Buck holds out the wiggling bundle towards her. A tiny pair of triangular ears poke out of the little blanket, followed by a furry grey head embedded with big blue eyes. Athena stares at the cat. The cat stares back.
“Meow,” the cat tells her, in an almost exasperated tone that feels familiar in a way that she can’t put her finger on.
Buck grins at her, all breathless relief. “It’s Bobby!”
Or: Buck attempts to bring Bobby back to life. It has mixed results.

Summary
Eddie frowns. “What didn’t go away?”
“My math, uh…after the lightning, I was really good at math? That…hasn’t gone away.”
“Oh.” Eddie blinks, then, “What?” Because he could’ve sworn…but looking back on it, there's no reason to think that it went away. No reason except…for the hours he has dedicated to making Eddie's son teach him math.
(or, the inherent romance of realizing how much the love of your life cares about your son's math homework)
