    Summary

    Theo plops himself onto the closed toilet seat, drowning in his Spider-Man robe while Eddie blow-dries his hair. He leans his face into Eddie’s stomach, humming to himself and fiddling with one of his bath toys that he’d rescued before being plucked from the water. The tub slowly drains, the bathroom is humid and nice-smelling, and there’s the weight of a toddler against him. Eddie isn’t just falling asleep, he can feel the stress of the day melting away.

    He sighs. Theo tips his chin to look at him and sighs back, flaring his nostrils like they’re two tigers communicating in chuffs.

    “I’m happy that you’re here, Eddie.”

    “Yeah,” Eddie says. He aims the blow dryer down the back of Theo’s robe, making him giggle. “Me too, kiddo.”

    or, Buck needs some help putting Theo to bed. Eddie has his back.

    Summary

    “What does that feel like?” Eddie asks quietly.

    Buck lets out a thin breath. “Like everything’s happening at a distance.”

    Eddie doesn’t interrupt.

    Buck stares at the blanket in his lap. “Like I know I’m here. I know this is me. I know I’m in this room with you.” He swallows. “But it’s like… there should be more of me in here than there is.”

    Jesus.

    Eddie looks down at his own hands because if he keeps staring at Buck’s face, he might get up and cross the room and do something neither of them is ready for.

    Or an extended version of "Mother's Boy"

    Buck wakes up on his day off.

    Which is normal, expected even.

    The problem is he keeps waking up on his day off.

    Summary

    “Great,” Buck groaned, the image of Bobby standing on the rooftop and telling him ‘you’re done’ in that firm, no-nonsense tone filling his mind.
    He smacked his forehead against the table and groaned again.

    A performance review.

    Great. Just great.

    (He didn’t see Hen and Chimney exchanging knowing smirks and he was still muffling his groans against the table when they went over to the kitchen to refill their coffee mugs and had a hushed conversation:

    “Should we tell him that Bobby also asks for feedback?”

    “Nah,” Hen replied mischievously. “I kind of want to hear what he’ll come up with on the spot.”)

    --

    5 times Bobby has feedback for Buck during his annual review, and the one time Buck gets a perfect score and has some feedback of his own.

    (Or, the progression of Buck and Bobby's relationship as told by annual performance reviews.)
