    Summary

    “I have no idea what’s going on.” He was embarrassed at the whiny note in his voice, but he couldn’t swallow it away. “I mean, the last thing I remember, I was telling my parents that I was leaving Texas. And then all of the sudden I wake up and it’s like—”

    Like some stranger named Buck had infiltrated every corner of his life. That’s what it felt like.

    ——

    Amnesiac Eddie tries really hard to hate Buck. It doesn’t stick.

    Summary

    “Eddie. Eddie, it’s okay.”

    “It’s not,” Eddie bites out. He spits at the ground, then shouts, “It is not okay, Buck!”

    The silence that follows is deafening. Even the roar of the fire seems quiet in comparison to the absence of the words Buck isn’t saying.

    “I love you,” Buck offers.

    Eddie wants to wake up.

    “Don’t,” he manages.

    or: when buck is crushed by a burning tree while he and eddie rescue children from a forest fire, eddie has to make the agonizing decision to leave him behind— but he promises he'll come back, and he won't break a promise to buck. not again.

    Summary

    "You know I weigh more than Chris, right?"

    "Are you asking me if I know a 190 lbs firefighter weighs more than my nine-year-old son?" Eddie asks, one eyebrow raised.

    Eddie lowers his arms.

    "Buck, I know how much you weigh and I know I am able to catch you. I deadlift your weight, you've seen me work out."

    There is a weird sound coming from above. "Yeah, I remember."

    "You're not even that far up. You can just slide down. So don't be scared to -"

    "I'm not scared," Buck interrupts. "Chris, tell your dad I'm not scared."

    "I don't know Buck," Chris contemplates, his face serious. "You kinda look scared."

    "I - I'm not!" Buck splutters. "Eddie, tell him!"

    Eddie sighs deeply.

    Or: Buck never learnt how to ask for help. Luckily, the Diazes are there to show him how it's done.

    Summary

    “I lied,” Buck blurts out, sheepishly. “You seemed so relaxed while you were sleeping, and with the extra shift you covered yesterday… I just wanted you to rest.”

    “You lied about what?” he asks, even though he has a pretty good guess.

    “About the time,” Buck confesses, then adds, smiling at him, bashful, “I also turned off your alarm.”

    (Or, five times Eddie feels something as Buck takes care of him, plus one time he realizes what it means, and kisses Buck about it.)
