Summary
“I’m fine, Buck.” He’s not, but he’s better than Buck, mentally and physically, probably. “But I might take you up on the guest room. I don’t know if I can even make it home tonight.” He could. He’s not that tired, and he’s used to driving home right after a shift.
It’s just the idea of going home alone, of leaving Buck alone, it doesn’t feel right, not tonight.
or; Buck and Eddie make it home.

Summary
Buck does a good job of masking his panic, even when he hears the gunshots. It’s been years since Eddie’s shooting, and Eddie is fine. He’s here and he’s fine, and everything is fine. But until he sees Eddie coming out of that grocery store, there’s a small part of him that wonders if he’s going to come out at all.
He does. He comes out, and he’s fine and alive and not bleeding. He’s fine.

Summary
Buck rests back against the couch and looks up at the ceiling. He kind of misses when he’d spend most of his time here. It’s been years; before Bobby died, Eddie moved, Chris left for Texas. Before Tommy. Before Marisol and Natalia. Before the lightning strike that killed him.
Maybe that was really when everything started to change. Buck hasn’t really been able to keep up because since then it feels like everything has changed so rapidly and irrevocably that his head just spins with it.
There was a time when the Diaz home felt like it was his home, and that’s just not true anymore. He wishes that wasn’t true.

Summary
By the time Buck is thirty-one, he’s one of the most popular players in the entire NHL. He’s taken his team to the playoffs almost every year, and they’ve even made the Western Conference Finals a few times.
He knows he only has so many years left. He’s had some pretty rough injuries, and he’s had a string of failed relationships to go with them. He’s starting to come to terms with the fact that, actually, hockey isn’t just something he loves - it’s probably the love of his life. He’s trying to be fine with that fact.

Summary
There’s a soft sound coming from the living room, talking, or maybe the tv. It’s not Buck’s voice. The talking turns into something else, and Eddie forces himself to walk further into the house.
“Hey, Buck, I - “
Buck jumps out of his seat and fumbles with the remote to pause the television.
“Jesus Christ, Eddie. You scared the shit out of me.” Buck shakes his head. “What are you doing here?”
“Oh,” Eddie says. Maybe he was wrong about being welcome. “I was bored. I just thought I’d come see what you were doing. I guess I could have called first, but you said it’s fine to just - “
“No, no, of course it’s fine. It’s totally fine. What’s mine is yours’, right?” Buck says, a little too easily.
Eddie glances at the paused television and suddenly realizes why Buck was so scared when he came in. Naked men. There are naked men on the screen.
OR;
Buck and Eddie watch Heated Rivalry together. It makes some things click into place for Eddie.

Summary
The kid claps a hand over his mouth. His eyes are huge and sparkling with something that looks like excitement or mischief, probably both.
"Sorry, sorry," he whispers loudly. Then he leans forward, like he's about to share a secret. "You're a hunk, right?"
Buck chokes on nothing. "I. What?"
"A hunk," the kid repeats. "You know, a hunk."
"I..." Buck has no idea what's happening. "Sure? I guess? I mean, I've been told... I work out sometimes—"
"Perfect!" The kid is already digging around in his backpack. He pulls out a slightly crumpled rectangle of cardstock and presents it to Buck with great ceremony. "This is for you."
It's a handmade card written in crayon, blue crayon. The handwriting is careful but wobbly, the letters all different sizes.
My dad likes boys and is single. He is a HERO and fights fires like Superman. He is a hunk. If intrested, please contact Chris Diaz.

Summary
“Pasta, huh?” he asks, stepping into the doorway. Christopher is on the couch with his Switch, a stack of notebooks and a closed pencil case on the table in front of him. “You make it sound like it's an event. We have pasta all the time.”
“He's been making pasta,” Chris says, squinting at his game, “for two hours.”
in which the love (so much love) is stored in the ravioli.

Summary
“The magic glowy song!” He exclaims. “So Eddie can heal!”
Eddie’s shoulders start shaking from laughter.
“Theo, buddy, I don’t think—”
Theo groans as if Buck had personally insulted Rapunzel herself.
And Eddie, because he’s an asshole, says, “C’mon, Buck, I’ll even smolder for you.”
“No!” Buck says quickly. “I’ll—I’ll sing. I’ll sing the magic song.”
or, 5 times Theo thought the movies he watched were real and the 1 time it was.

Summary
It’s a recent development, is the thing. Buck didn’t know to look for this; didn’t know to recognize it until Eddie was smiling about his breakfast date and it felt like the bottom was dropping out of the world.
He didn’t know to look for it, and there’s not much he can do about it now.
or, eddie goes on dates. buck spends his nights babysitting and waiting for him to come home.
