    Summary

    Eddie really liked Tommy.

    If asked, he could give a long list of reasons why.

    Tommy was an army guy, like Eddie himself, they had a lot of shared experiences.

    Tommy was witty, he always had a one liner ready to throw out.

    Tommy was into MMA, and muay thai, and he could fly Eddie to games.

    Tommy would play pickup with him even when Buck always said no.

    Tommy was good with Christopher. He had an easy charm with Eddie’s preteen son, and he had lots of stories that Christopher couldn’t quite get enough of.

    And, the most important reason, Tommy had been a huge part of the reason Athena and Bobby had survived.

    The problem was… Eddie kind of couldn’t fucking stand Tommy.

    OR -

    Eddie goes through the stages of grief watching Buck and Tommy together and gets progressively more unhinged as his jealousy builds. No bashing of Marisol or Tommy in this, they're just not right for Eddie and Buck.

    Summary

    Buck doesn’t take his hands off Eddie’s shoulders as he glances over to Athena and Nash, who are watching the display calibrate. “How’d we do?”

    “See for yourself,” Athena says.

    Bad, Eddie thinks.

    But he can’t read her – doesn’t know what it’s going to say. For all he knows, he’s going to look up and the words Eddie Diaz Should Be Dead will be flashing across the screen. He half-expects it.

    He wants to brace Buck for it, for the disappointment – wants to explain that whatever has screwed his compatibility scores till now, this one is all on Eddie.

    “Oh, shit…” Buck whispers.

    Eddie lifts his head, finally lets himself look, and then takes an inhale so sharp he tastes blood.

    Oh, shit.

    Summary

    “And, um, how long have you been in love with me?”

    “Honestly? Probably for years.”

    Years, he watches Buck mouth the word. His eyes slip past Eddie, his expression turning slightly dazed as he tries to process this new information.

    “But I only realized it now.”

    Buck’s eyes flick back to him, eyebrows shooting up in surprise. “Now?”

    “Yeah, like, right now.” He looks down at the watch on his wrist, cocking his head back and forth. “About five minutes ago, give or take.”

    “You realized you’re in love with me while watching me wipe chocolate off Theo’s face?” Buck huffs out a laugh, looking down at the now dirty wet wipe still clutched in his hands in disbelief.

    Or, Eddie realizes he's in love with Buck on a Wednesday afternoon. This is how that goes.

    Summary

    Eddie simply cannot know that he is currently naked. That would be catastrophic. 

    “Um, I— did you need anything? I’m kind of in the middle of something,” Buck says, which. Okay. That did not sound convincing. He adds, “I can call you back in ten?” 

    “I thought you just woke up?” Eddie says, and, fuck— Buck did basically say that. 

    Carefully, he says, “I did.” 

    “So what were you—?” 

    God, this is mortifying. This might be the worst thing that’s ever happened to Buck, and he’s been caught in, like, four natural disasters. And also struck by lightning. And had a fire engine fall on him. He even dated (he shudders at the thought) Tommy Kinard.  

    “Eddie,” he says. He doesn’t know what else to say. 

    “What? If you need to pee you can just mute yourself.” 

    “Eddie, that’s not—” 

    “Then what?” Eddie laughs. “If you’re still in bed, you can’t ha— oh.”

    Or: Buck answers the phone in the middle of jerking off. For some reason, Eddie asks him not to hang up.

    Summary

    But that’s not true at all— the idea that Eddie would only recognize Buck by that birthmark.

    He closes his eyes and brings his fingers to Buck’s face, touching him carefully, feeling out the shape of him. The lines around his eyes, the size of his nose. His strong jaw under the calluses of his fingers, the faint acne scars along his jaw and cheeks. And finally, his dry, split lips, full and soft.

    Eddie could recognize him even with his eyes closed.

    ══════════════

    Eddie Díaz is, by no means, a man of honor or justice. He only stayed in the job because a series of desperate choices dragged him there; he did it for his son, because Christopher needed him. And he did it because it was the only way to follow the trail of the man he lost years ago.

    When Lewis Garber, a member of the Colombo mafia, turns up dead under mysterious circumstances and with a string of messages threatening to execute every last Colombo, Eddie can only think of one person.

    Suddenly, knowing Buck was alive is no longer enough when everyone seems determined to take that life away from him. Eddie wants the person responsible in his hands.
