    Summary

    for the absolutely infallible @eddiesdiaz who asked me on Tumblr:
    High school au where Buck’s the sad lonely kid with the shit family and Eddie’s the popular captain of the wrestling team who makes it his personal mission to make Buck an honorary Diaz and convince him that he deserves nice things I am just saying
    ———

    Buck was good at going unseen.

    It was a defense mechanism—his parent’s couldn’t get upset with what they didn’t realize was there—and it had only amped up once Maddie graduated. Once she went off to college, Buck had no reason to be a distraction anymore, to try and pull attention off of anyone; so he just got better at it. He could pick things up and set them down without a sound. He constantly walked on the balls of his feet. He even kept his breathing even, slow and low, whenever he wasn’t alone.

    Buck was invisible to absolutely everyone.

    Well… everyone except Eddie Diaz.

    Summary

    Trigger warning: discussion of suicide

    “Excuse me, sir? Are you Mr. Kishimoto?” The man doesn’t so much as blink. “Right. I was afraid you’d say that.” In one short huff and the very distant gasps of the crowd below, Buck stretches a leg over his own balcony, balancing himself on the edge. That gets the man’s attention.

    OR

    With things no longer the same after the lawsuit, Buck decides that he needs to leave LA. Before he does, though, the team answers a call to rescue a jumper. Buck's heart-to-heart with the man sets off a mess of reactions that just might convince him he still has a home at the 118.

    Summary

    “You guys shower together regularly?” 

    Buck furrows his eyebrows. “Oh — um no. We’re just running late, so we figured this would be more time-efficient. Plus, you know, it’s good for the environment." 

    For a moment, no one says anything. It’s Julia’s duty, she fears, to give them both a horribly awkward thumbs up. 

    “Okay,” she says. She’s fumbling this; she knows she is. But she does not know how to tell two men who just showered together platonically that they showered together. Platonically. “Smart. Love the environment.”

    Or: In the span of two months, Julia gets brutally dumped, loses her apartment to a fire, moves in with certified sweetheart Firefighter Buck Buckley, and successfully inserts herself into the lives of two firefighters who don’t know they’re in love. Not necessarily in that order.
