Summary
Eddie Diaz doesn't fall in love. He doesn't do boyfriends, doesn't do mornings, doesn't do the version of himself that wants things he can't file away before sunrise. He does Babylon. He does coke off bathroom mirrors and men whose names don't matter and a life so airtight nothing gets in.
Buck walks into Babylon on a Friday night with a flyer from his refrigerator and no idea what he's walking into. He's newly out, a little broke, sleeping on his sister's couch, and constitutionally incapable of wanting things quietly. Eddie looks at him from across the bar and thinks: there it is.
He means to ruin him. He does not mean to keep him.

Summary
Eddie's head snapped up. One of the SWAT officers was pointing at a portable monitor set up near the command vehicle—a live feed from the news broadcast still streaming from inside the school. The camera was shaky, the angle awkward, but it showed a hallway.
And there—*there*—was Buck.
Eddie's breath caught in his throat. Buck was in the middle of the corridor, and he was fighting. Not running, not hiding—*fighting*. Hand-to-hand combat with one of the shooters, brutal and desperate. Buck's face was streaked with blood, his shirt torn, but he was moving with the fierce determination of someone protecting something precious.
The camera zoomed in slightly, and Eddie could see it now—the way Buck had positioned himself. The storage closet door visible behind him. The way every move Buck made was calculated to keep the shooter away from that door, to use his body as a barrier.
"The boys," Eddie said, his voice hollow with realisation. "They're in that closet. That's where he hid them. He's—" Eddie's voice broke. "He's protecting them."
Or Buck is taking the boys to Christopher’s science Fayre when a school shooting starts. We see how Buck fights to keep his boys safe and how Eddie rushes to save themBookmarked by Kpes73

Summary
“Buck,” he said, too quiet to be anything but a whisper and Eddie’s chest went tight with want that he almost couldn’t breathe again.
Two, glassy blue eyes blinked at him. Two, swollen pink lips puckered on a failed attempt at his name. Two hands twitched in the shadows and Eddie was dragged back down into the stunning crash of reality as he took Buck in. The red rimmed around his eyes was still there but there was something else too. Something beyond the dark shadows cutting deep circles under his eyes. Something lost and alone and a little broken swimming beneath tears that were welling up in them but not quite falling past the lash line.
“Make me stop, Eddie,” Buck said, his voice cracking on his name like it was a desperate prayer. “P-Please make me stop.”
Eddie didn’t know what he meant. He didn’t even know if he was hallucinating or not. But then Buck held up his hands and Eddie saw in the light how violently they were shaking.
