    Summary

    “Does it feel weird to you?”

    “The flirting?”

    “No. This,” Buck clarifies, tapping on the soft bare skin of Eddie’s back. “The intimacy, I guess?”

     

    Or: it’s actually kind of weird to shower with your best friend who you just started dating. But, also, it’s maybe the most wonderful thing in the world.

    Summary

    “I was just thinking about how I’d… y’know,” Buck shrugs. “How I’d get you out.”

    Eddie blinks at him. “Of a house fire? You’d probably just pick him up,” he suggests.

    “Both of you,” Buck stresses, an adorable, worried crease appearing between his brows. “If I had to get both of you out.”

     

    Or, Buck's pretty sure he could carry Christopher and Eddie out of a house fire at the same time. He'd just really like the test the theory to make sure.

    Summary

    When Eddie forgets about a family tradition and can’t get off work early, Buck steps in and takes Christopher to Abuela’s for him.

    Eddie doesn’t expect Buck to still be there when he gets off work. He doesn’t expect to tell Buck how he feels. And he doesn’t expect to stand up to his parents.

    But maybe it’s about time he did.

    Maybe it’s about time he go after what he wants.

    Summary

    Shane’s propped up on some pillows, arm in a sling, bruises blooming on his face, squinting against the daylight, but alive. Alive, and conscious, and - not alone.

    Ilya swallows, eyes flickering between Shane, two people he recognises as Shane’s parents, and Hayden fucking Pike.

    They all look at him with surprise, and a little hostility. Pike actually starts to rise from his chair, poised to, what, defend Shane? As though Ilya would track down an injured player to a hospital bed to cause more trouble?

    He’s ready to just turn around and leave, but Shane’s managed to focus his eyes on the door.

    “Ilyaaaa!”

    -

    Ilya visits Shane in hospital. Shane already has other visitors.

    Summary

    Mrs. Young smiled. “As teachers, we don't get to sit down and talk one on one with each child as much as they deserve. This assignment always grants me a beautiful insight to my students. Their proudest accomplishments, their darkest moments, or even some facts I've never known.”

    She lifted a hand to her heart. “So with that, I would like all of you hear from one of the most beautiful essays I've had the pleasure of reading, from one of the-” she sighed. “-funniest kids I've met. Please welcome Christopher Diaz.”

     

    ...Christopher smiled into the microphone. "My name is Christopher Diaz. Here's my essay."

    "Dear abandoning dead Mom."

    The silence from the audience was deafening.

    "Oh god." Eddie whispered beside him.

    **OR**

    Chris gets an award for Student Performance night!
