    Summary

    Day twenty-three, change of tactics.

    I feel like you both are being dumb.

    Dad unfolds this one and reads it and stops and reads it again like he's hoping the words will rearrange themselves into something less insulting.

    "Excuse me?"

    "It's my feeling." Chris spears a dumpling with his chopsticks. "You can't argue with my feeling, that's not how therapy works."

    "I can ask for clarification on what you mean."

    "Clarification about what? It's very clear. You—" he points at Dad, "both—" he swings to point at Buck, "dumb. Three words. Simple sentence structure. I learned about that in English class."

    Or,
    Chris weaponizes his therapy homework to make his emotionally constipated dad admit he's in love with Buck.

    Summary

    After a while, he whispers it, barely louder than the rustle of his sheets.

    A wish, a prayer, maybe it’s a plea.

    I want to know everything.

    It spills out of him in the stillness that follows, not loud, not dramatic, just the quiet truth of it.

    “I wish you’d let me know you. I wish you trusted me with the parts you never show. The fears you don’t name. The secrets you keep buried so deep even you don’t look at them for long.

    I wish I’d known you before life made you flinch. Before war and heartbreak, before your smile got quieter. I wish I’d seen the kid you were, so I could understand how you became the man I’m—

    Buck pauses, the words catching in his throat.

    —the man I’ve fallen in love with, without a shred of logic or timing or self-preservation.

    I wish you’d let me know you.”

    Or; Buck makes a wish and it comes true. So he spends the following twenty four hours with Eddie aging up three years every time he falls asleep.

    Summary

    He’s fairly sure, in some faraway part of his brain, that Eddie doesn’t mean for him to climb onto the couch, slot his legs between Eddie’s, and collapse on top of him — Eddie’s chest his new favorite pillow.

    He does know that’s probably not what he meant. But it is what Buck does.

     

    Or, Buck's so, so tired. What's he supposed to do but take a nap on top of Eddie?

    Summary

    “Didn’t you save Tommy’s life once?” Eddie asks, narrowing his eyes at Chim. “Back when he worked at the 118?”

    Chim gives Hen a look that Eddie can’t read.

    “I did,” Chim responds eventually. “We were on a call, and there was a building with a gas leak. He’d passed out inside and I ran in to save him. I carried him out just as the building blew up.”

    Eddie considers it for a moment. “Why?”

    Chim stares at Eddie, a shocked look on his face.

    “Eddie!” Hen lightly smacks Eddie’s arm. “You’re a mean drunk.”

    “That’s also what we call an inside thought,” Chim adds, now looking vaguely amused.

    Eddie shrugs unapologetically. “Well it’s out there now.”

    Summary

    What was he supposed to say? Yes, Hollander. I have a soulmate. All I know is that he has played hockey in Canada before. Oh, that could apply to the entire league? Oh, that could apply to you? Oh, you are now having a panic attack in my bed?

    Yes. That would not have gone well.
