Summary
Chris remembers, suddenly, the days after his mom died, the feeling of dread that lingered under his skin. The way it slowly bubbled up, over the years, until he couldn’t be this kid anymore, this kid who could look at the world and not see danger in every corner. He wishes that Theo will never be like that. He knows, living with a first responder, that the odds of him turning out any other way are against him.
“Hey, Theo,” he says suddenly, the words spilling from his lips without permission. “Do you think Buck is your dad?”
Christopher isn't sure how he feels about Theo, or what he means for him and Buck. When they're caught up in a disaster alone, he has plenty of time to figure it out.

Summary
The problem was Buck would take up the cross of Eddie’s guilt and hurt in a heartbeat if he knew–he’d shoulder the weight himself and squirrel away like he always did, determined to face it alone. Eddie couldn’t let that happen, so he tried to keep his feelings locked up at an arm’s length, to be what Buck needed in the moment. It had been easier before, around everyone else. Now, though, alone in the bedroom, Buck tight-lipped as ever, Eddie felt like a raw nerve.

Summary
Something between them is changing, Eddie realizes. Maybe they won’t be able to talk about it for a while, especially now. They both need to heal. But in the light of all this, it doesn’t seem to matter so much.
What might have scared Eddie a week ago, a few days ago, feels wildly insignificant now. If anything, the inevitability is a sudden, silverlined comfort.
