    Summary

    “It’s like those ‘I love you’ post-it notes you see parents putting in kids' lunchboxes to try to embarrass them or to just remind them they’re loved. Or both in some cases,” Ravi laughs. “I’m sure Chris loved it though, Eddie told me one time that Chris loved all your animal facts when you guys would go to the zoo.”

    Buck smiles softly at the memories of the zoo with Chris and Eddie. And now that he thinks about it, Buck has seen those videos and deep down wished his parents had done something like that—it’s cute. Chris deserves something like that, something to remind him that he is loved.

    Buck makes the decision then and there: any day he makes Chris’ lunch, he’s going to put a fun fact in there for him.

    Summary

    “My, uh. My dad’s had a heart attack,” he says, sort of like it hasn’t sunk in yet, “He’s still in the hospital, it was. It was pretty bad, I think.”

    “I’m sorry, Buck,” says Chris, “Is he going to be okay?”

    “I don’t know,” says Buck, “She wasn't. It wasn’t clear, it was, she was. She wants me to go.”

    “Do you want to?” Eddie asks, quiet, and Buck’s eyes snap back to him.

    “Eddie,” he says, wretched, “She wants me to help. She wants me. She wants me.”

    Or, Philip Buckley has a heart attack, and Buck, Eddie, and Chris all fly to Hershey. What else are best friends for?

    Summary

    “Is it possible,” Chimney says, breaking the silence. Buck looks up from his phone and sees him sip from a mug, eyes glinting. “For two people to get even closer after one of them moves away?”

    Buck flushes. He locks his screen, the text thread between him and Eddie fading, but it just lights up again with a notification.

    ...or, Eddie moves, Buck pines, and they are both very normal about it.

    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.
