    Summary

    “Why are you acting like this isn’t a big deal?” His voice was raised, but he wasn’t yelling. “Buck, you have been living out of a storage unit for weeks! You’re in pain, you’re hungry, and you’re— You’re homeless. You have no home."

    Eddie had such a way with words. You have no home. Very nice of him.

    “What do you want me to do, Eddie?” He put the measuring cup down with enough force that it bounced to the floor. “Breakdown and cry? Get on my knees and beg someone for a loan? I took what I could.”

    “No, you didn’t.” Eddie’s cursed index finger came up, pointing right at Buck’s chest. “Because you didn’t tell anyone! We would’ve helped you. I would’ve helped you.”

    “I don’t want anyone’s help,” Buck pressed. “I got myself into this situation, and I can get myself out. I always do.”

    Eddie held both his hands up, but they dropped as something dawned on him. Misery flooded his features. “You took over my lease.”

    The last thing Buck wanted to do was make Eddie feel guilty. His decisions put him where he was— Nobody else’s. Still, his head fell. “Yeah, Eddie. I did.”

    Or the one where Buck has no choice but to move into a storage unit, and Eddie finds out.

    Summary

    Day twenty-three, change of tactics.

    I feel like you both are being dumb.

    Dad unfolds this one and reads it and stops and reads it again like he's hoping the words will rearrange themselves into something less insulting.

    "Excuse me?"

    "It's my feeling." Chris spears a dumpling with his chopsticks. "You can't argue with my feeling, that's not how therapy works."

    "I can ask for clarification on what you mean."

    "Clarification about what? It's very clear. You—" he points at Dad, "both—" he swings to point at Buck, "dumb. Three words. Simple sentence structure. I learned about that in English class."

    Or,
    Chris weaponizes his therapy homework to make his emotionally constipated dad admit he's in love with Buck.

    Summary

    As it turns out, Chris had been waiting for his dad to confirm they could stay in LA.

    “This is home,” he’d stated simply. And that had been that.

    However, that left the Diaz boys with one tiny problem - their former house was currently occupied. Luckily for them, said occupant loved their company and welcomed them back home with open arms. There wasn’t much by way of discussion - Eddie had told Buck that he and Christopher were staying in LA, Buck showed Christopher that his room was ready and waiting for him, and they celebrated with an evening of pizza and video games.

    For a while, things were easy. Simple. Eddie was back at the 118, all of their belongings had been shipped over from El Paso, and the three of them developed a rhythm that made living together seamless.

    At some point along the way, though, something shifted.

    or; Eddie is in love with Buck. Buck is in love with Eddie. Neither knows how to deal with their current living situation, and instead of talking about it, things spiral out of control.
