    Summary

    “No offense,” says Eddie, clicking his tongue. “But I really hoped I’d never have to see you again.”

    “Likewise, Eddie,” says Frank. “I know you never liked therapy. But your captain has mandated it for all of the 118, and you’re no exception. Especially you. Buck was your partner, your—”

    “Buck is my partner,” Eddie cuts him short. “His death could never change that.”

    He states it as fact. The sun rises every morning and sets every night. There are eight stars in the Big Dipper. Evan Buckley is dead.

    Summary

    Moving to LA and joining the LAFD, Eddie had planned to keep his head down. His only plan was to get through his shifts, take care of his son, and figure out this whole "single dad" gig for the sake of his little boy. He didn't plan to focus all that much on making new friends. He certainly didn't plan to keep date-crashing Carla's handsome teacher-friend with the birthmark just over his eye.

    ~~~

    Eddie barely has time to start the car before Chris is asking, "Dad, did you know dinosaurs had feathers?"

    Eddie chuckles, setting the radio to a nineties station on low volume, "I did not know that, bud."

    "It's true! Buck told me!" But with Chris's youthful lisp the name was still pronounced like "Duck."

    "Oh, well if Buck said so it must be true," Eddie snorts.

    "Hey," Buck gave Eddie a light smack on his shoulder, "I'll have you know I'm a trusted source for information."

    Eddie can't help but smirk back, "And with you saying so, it must be true."

    Summary

    May glances up at him, raising an eyebrow. “Yes?”

    He drops the fork, leans back in the booth, and stares at her—can feel how wide his eyes are, how tense his jaw is; the thrum of anxiety racing through his limbs and tip-tapping and shaking every surface he’s touching. He can’t stop it, though. He can’t stop it because—

    He leans forward, grabbing the fork and spearing through a particularly fluffy glob of scrambled egg. “Eddie kissed me last night,” he says, quietly, carefully—it feels a bit like it’s being pulled from him, like if he doesn’t say it right here, right now, he might actually explode, but he doesn’t know how to say it, because it doesn’t make sense.

    It doesn’t make sense.

    And this--May’s the only one who can help him make it make sense.

    --

    Or Buck highjacks his and May's weekly breakfast.
