    Summary

    “She said she wasn’t worried about us breaking up.”

    Oh. Well. That was pretty definitively a thing that people said about partners who were together romantically.

    “Say something,” Buck instructed.

    “What?”

    “Anything,” Buck said, his voice wavering on the word. Which was—it was weird, right? Why was Buck so shaken by a throwaway comment?

    Or maybe the better question was why wasn’t Eddie? If either of them was going to get freaked out by the assumption that he was dating a man, it would make more sense for it to be Eddie, who was straight, and not Buck, who had, in fact, already dated men.

    “Aren’t you going to be late for your shift?”

    -----

    Buck and Eddie get shaken up by a comment from Theo’s social worker, and then by a magnitude 7 earthquake; it turns out, some disasters are better than others.

    Summary

    Theo jumps happily across the sand, never landing on his fourth hop because Eddie scoops him up mid-air with one deft movement. One strong arm loops around Theo’s torso, holding him securely as Eddie dangles him on his side. He bends his head, sunglasses knocking to the side as he pretends to take a chomp out of Theo’s belly, blowing a big raspberry against his sandy skin.

    “You can’t eat me,” Theo shrieks, legs kicking outwards with a vigor that comes only from the confidence of knowing Eddie will never drop him.

    “Are you sure?” Eddie asks, grinning crookedly.  

    “Yes,” Theo says, already taking the moment of reprieve to heave himself up onto Eddie’s shoulders, comfortably settling all of his weight there.

    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.)

    Summary

    “Theo, baby,” Eddie says gently, unwrapping his arms from Theo and holding the boy out at arms length and pushing his hair back off his forehead. “You gotta use a tissue.”

    Theo tilts his head in question, looking at Eddie like he personally offended him.

    “See,” Eddie grabs a tissue and holds it up to his own nose, feigning blowing his nose. “All clean, and then you can throw it out.” He stands up and walks over to the trash, dropping the used tissue in before turning back to Theo.

    “Hmm,” Theo hums, bouncing on his feet a little and giving a little menacing smile to Eddie, “nope.”

    It’s all the warning Eddie gets before Theo practically launches himself at him, pulling Eddie into a hug. It throws him off balance for a second, a surprised noise slipping past his lips but he settles into the hug, which yeah that’s his own fault. He fell for the oldest trick in the book, affection as distraction. He definitely should’ve seen this coming.

    or

    Four times Theo uses Eddie's shirt as his designated snot spot and the one time he doesn't.
