Summary
Eddie’s fingers dig into his own arms. Athena wants to tell him to quit it or he’ll bruise. She wants- to walk away. She wants this to be someone else’s problem, family, life.
“There were boxes in his car, Eddie. Clothes. Books, and-” she had helped him pack, they all had. Made a little party of it, Buck’s new apartment, the Diazes back in their rightful home, everything as it should be as much as it ever can be again. She’d looked in the back seat and saw a box with her own handwriting. Kitchen.
“What are you-”
“He was sleeping in his car?” Maddie’s always been smart.

Summary
“I hope I'm nothing like my parents.”
The words rushed out of his mouth before he could shove them back down, and Bobby's eyes never left his face. Buck's eyes never met Bobby's.
“Who do you want to be, then?” He treaded carefully, trying not to overstep. Bobby pieced his past together in the first few weeks that they met. No kid is left in another state after traveling without no one to call. Not without a reason.
Buck just shrugged. Silence overtook the room.
“Maybe like you?”
--
Or, Bobby meets Buck in Minnesota.
