    Summary

    Eddie’s a steady man who likes predictability. He buys the same beer all the time, the same shirts just in different colors, the same type of mulch for the garden every year.

    But the thing is, Chris is starting high school in two weeks, and Bobby has been floating the idea of retirement around more and more. Chim and Maddie are expecting a second baby, and Pepa and Abuela have been talking of looking for a new home for Abuela soon.

    And then there’s the promotion and the transfer, and it’s all just a bit much for Eddie to handle.

    But he spins the silicone ring on his finger, smiling down at it while the heat of Buck’s thigh presses carefully into his own. At least that’s something that isn’t changing.
    --
    Or, even when everything changes, some things stay the same.

    Eddie grins and puts his own helmet on, keying his radio as he trots towards the building. “Diaz, 217, coming to assist Diaz, 118.”

    “That literally couldn’t be any more confusing,” Chim’s voice says in reply, and Eddie just laughs as he heads closer to the building.

    Summary

    “I’m not regretting breaking up with Taylor,” Buck says. “It just… would have been nice to go with someone, is all. Don’t get me wrong, I’m completely over Ali, and I’m happy for her and everything, but…”

    “But you also want to show that she’s not the only one who could move on,” Eddie says.

    And yeah. That’s pretty much right on the money. Always Eddie, to see him, ugliness and all. It’s a shit thought to have, because the last person Ali Martin’s big day is about is him, but—

    Well, but. He’s thirty-one and in love with his best friend, who is decidedly not in love with him. He thinks he’s earned the right to be a little uncharitable.

    Then Eddie says, very casually, “Just take me.”

     

    Or, Buck gets invited to an ex’s wedding. Eddie volunteers to come as his date.

    “Baby,” Eddie says, eyes a little damp. “I can’t believe you proposed me to me five feet away from a urinal.”

    Summary

    “In the event of their untimely death,” the lawyer tells him, “the McCallums listed you as the legal guardian of their daughter.”

    “Yes. Cassandra. She’s three.”

    Before he’s even begun to process that, Buck blurts out, “And they chose me?”

    In which Buck becomes the guardian of the daughter he never knew he had. Together, they discover what happiness truly means to them.

    Summary

    “It’s just that—I died,” Buck continues, voice unsteady enough that Eddie wonders if this is the first time he’s acknowledged that out loud. “I died, and there’s so much more. There’s so much more I want to do, things I don’t even know I want to do yet, and I almost had the chance to have and live them taken away. I don’t want to die and regret missing out on everything else, Eddie.”

     

    “So let’s make a list,” Eddie says. “Let’s do them.”

     

    or, a bucket list that’s really about buck needing to make a change and an eddie who’s ready to do anything to see him fall in love with life again. it takes some crossing off for eddie to realise—the thing at the top of the list in his own heart? it’s been right here all along

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “I didn’t know because—” Buck laughs, a bright, bubbling sound Eddie wants to hear for the rest of his life, “—remember when you were telling me about—compulsory heterosexuality? And I said I’d never experienced that?”

    He’s looking at Eddie with barely contained mirth, contagious enough that Eddie’s helpless to smile back as he nods.

    “Well, turns out I’ve spent the last—I don’t even know how long, years, Eds, deep in the trenches of compulsory best-frienduality.”
