    Summary

    The thing about hearing Buck’s thoughts is that Buck thinks about Eddie a lot.

    Not in a weird way — just, well, it is a lot. Pretty regularly, in fact.

    or: Eddie can read Buck’s mind. He has conflicting feelings about that.

    Summary

    “Okay, please say something.” Buck managed, “I was only being weird because I didn’t want to be weird. Which I know sounds counter-intuitive, but I just wanted Christmas to be so perfect for you, because it’s our first Christmas together. I— I don’t know why I thought—”

    “It, uh, it isn’t my ring from Shannon.”

    Buck, obviously a linguistic mastermind, managed out a quiet ‘huh?’ in response.

    “The… ring.” He sounded like he was clearing a brick from his throat. “It isn’t from my first wedding.”

    “Abuela?” He asked, a little stupidly.

    Eddie, seemingly broken from whatever silent stupor he was trapped in, snorted.

    “No. Buck.” He stepped forward, swallowing and visibly forcing a smile onto his face. “It’s… for you. I mean, eventually.”

    OR -

    Buck finds a ring Eddie was planning to use to 'eventually' propose to him. He is obviously very normal and composed about this information.

    Summary

    “It was a date. When you and Marisol ran into me and Tommy, it was a date.”

    “Marisol thought she was pregnant and I realized that I do actually want another kid, but not with her.”

    The simultaneous, overlapping confessions hang in the air like an executioner's axe as Buck and Eddie stare at each other with wide eyes, both blue screening a little as they process the dual bombs just dropped.

    Eddie recovers first, his head shaking slightly. “Wait, you and Tommy? So you’re-?”

    Buck makes a pained noise, hands flying through the air once he finally gets his brain working again. “Uh uh, that is not the important thing here; Marisol is pregnant?!”

    -

    Buck's coming out scene looks a little different when Eddie admits that he wants to have a baby.

    Summary

    Eddie spots his mother first, standing near the living room with a glass of wine frozen halfway to her mouth. Her eyes track from Eddie's face to Buck's face to their joined hands, and Eddie watches her go through the five stages of grief in the span of two seconds.

    Her right hand moves automatically, decades of muscle memory taking over as she touches her forehead, then her chest, then her left shoulder, then her right, her lips pressing together as she mutters what Eddie can only assume is a prayer for his immortal soul.

    Across the room, Eddie catches Shannon's eye. She's standing by the fireplace with a drink in her hand and Chris at her side, and she looks like she's having to physically restrain herself from applauding. Her free hand is pressed over her mouth, shoulders shaking with laughter. When she catches Eddie looking she raises her glass in a tiny salute, eyes sparkling with mischief.

    Chris, bless him, has no such restraint. His face splits into a massive grin and he turns to his mother and says, in a voice that is so loud it echoes, "Mom, you didn't tell me Dad's boyfriend was cool."

    Or,
    Eddie needs a fake boyfriend. Maddie's brother is happy to help.

    Summary

    Eddie Diaz is on what is possibly the worst date of all time. A tall blue eyed stranger saves him from his predicament.

    ----

    Eddie's about to stand up from the table—to simply get the hell out of there, and wait on his Uber out of sight—when something unexpected happens. His people-watching-subject is now approaching the table, no longer sat at the bar.

    "What the hell?" The man's piercing blue eyes are fixed on him.

    Eddie goes tense, a nervous laugh bubbling out of him. He catches the mischievous quirk of the other mans mouth though and isn't sure what he's in for.

    "And who the hell is this?" Blue Eyes whips around to face Eddie's date, eyebrow set in a firm line. Eddie wonders if he's a model or something in his free time. This was LA after all. Eddie makes a mental note to ask him if he's a model.

    "E-ethan?"

    "Are you sure about that E-e-ethan?" Blue-Eye's crowds into his area and sticks a finger in his chest.
