Eddie’s thumb hovers over the location dropdown in the weather app, just like every day. And just like all those other days he allows himself to click it. The list unfolds as he huffs a humorless chuckle at how much it’s grown.
When he got his first cell, the only place he ever needed was current location. Technically, it’s still the only one he needs. Regardless he’s continued adding to it through the years. Hershey, Virginia Beach, a couple random towns in the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida. Fucking Sundance, Wyoming. All because he gave up pretending he doesn’t need to know.
It’s sunny, mid-50s today. A nice break for the time of year. Eddie scrolls through the upcoming week, noting a heavy snowstorm hitting in a few days. His nose wrinkles and he begins to worry his bottom lip between his teeth. Another thing born out of pure habit.
Not for the first time he types out a few messages before deleting them again. Eddie doesn’t even know if he’s got the right number. It’s been nearly three years since they exchanged anything at all. Not since Eddie could have manned up and told Shannon he could be a father, but not a husband. Not her husband, anyway.
He could have just been honest and said what he wanted when she finally decided to show up in her second trimester. He and Evan could have continued building a life together. But Eddie’s never claimed to be smart. Especially when it comes to all the bullshit his own dad drilled into his head about responsibility and honor and god knows what the fuck else. In the end it was too sticky to let go, trapping him like a spider web.
He can’t even say it was worth it because she loves him and they’re making it work for the sake of Christopher. Because why would that have happened? Instead all he got was a tour in Afghanistan, divorce papers (not that he’s surprised or blames her at all) and coming back to an empty house. Well, not totally empty. He’s got a son he’s still getting to know outside of a screen and shitty internet connection. A son he could have been raising with the love of his life this whole time.
Hope your coat’s warm enough, cowboy he types.
“Daddy!” Chris babbles from the floor, using Eddie’s pant leg to pull himself to standing. His toothy smile is on full display while he looks up at Eddie like he hung the goddamn moon and stars.
“Hey there little man.” Eddie tosses his phone to the side in favor of picking up his son and arranging him on his lap. Chris snatches up the yellow car from the next couch cushion, choosing to run it in a small loop over Eddie’s forearm, shoulder and chest. “Where are you off to today? Big race?”
Chris shakes his head vigorously. “Outer space,” he says as though that should have been obvious.
Eddie chuckles to himself. “Of course. How long until liftoff?”
There’s no answer as plastic wheels continue zooming along until Chris decides he’d rather be on the floor again. Eddie loosely assists as his son climbs back down. Some days are more difficult than others, but he tries to follow the physical therapist’s advice to let Chris do as much as he can by himself. She says it won’t do either of them any good in the long run. Eddie can certainly see the wisdom in that even if he’s constantly itching to roll Chris in layers of bubble wrap.
He blindly grabs for his phone, buzzing from the coffee table. “Hello?”
At first there’s complete silence and he winces thinking it’s yet another telemarketer. Before he can check he hears rustling, like someone’s covering the mouthpiece.
“Hello?” He asks again, more insistent this time.
“Uh, sorry. Didn’t think you’d actually pick up.”
Eddie thinks he might drop the phone. Or throw up. Maybe both? Probably both.
“Evan?”

Love that scene where Eddie is like “Chris is hanging out with his Buck today”
HIS BUCK???
HIS??? BUCK???
Not uncle, not just Buck, but his Buck
What even is that definition??
I’m so fucking obsessed with it
We don’t need any other explanation for it
Buck is Christopher’s Buck
And Buck is Eddie’s Buck
It’s literally just his name but he’s their Buck
This has been a rant, thank yewww

Buck thinks if the cars didn’t crash against eachother in the parking lot of the grocery store fight that Eddie would’ve punched him but the truth is that step closer was actually Eddie was gonna kiss him with tongue in the cat laxative aisle (coworkers be dammed) but y’all aren’t ready for that conversation

Eddie being mad at Buck during the lawsuit era was kinda insane because:
• He didn't really even have anything to be mad about.
• The lawyer bought up personal stuff about others (Bobby's addiction, Hen's past job, Chimney's stabbing) but the only personal thing about Eddie that was talked about was his wife's death & only in the context of Bobby letting him back to work so soon after that.
• It can be argued that Eddie was mad on behalf of Bobby, but he never once reprimanded Buck for suing Bobby.
• So, the only reason left for Eddie's anger is not being able to talk to Buck.
• This was right after he told him he trusted Buck with his son the most in the world. And then Buck didn't give it a second thought that he won't be able to talk to Eddie.
• And that drives Eddie crazy with anger because how dare Buck not think about him even once before deciding that he's okay with not talking to him.
• Also, it's not entirely Buck's fault because the whole thing was supposed to be temporary anyways. Whether he won or lost, once the case was over, he was allowed to talk to them.
• But Eddie cannot even digest that, because he has come to rely on Buck for everything.
• And that makes him mad at himself too, because how dare he assume Buck would stay for him and his son when Christopher's own mother didn't.
• Thus, he blames himself for again relying on someone when the world has proven to him again and again that he and Christopher only have each other.
• And that makes him so angry that he joins a fucking fight club.
Bonus: When Buck comes back, Eddie forgives him in an instant. Something he couldn't bring himself to do for Shannon, who was supposed to be the love of his life.

just thinking about eddie in the grocery store saying, “you know how much christopher misses you?”
so do you think chris just kept on mentioning buck, asking for buck and “dad, why can’t buck go with us today?” and “dad, buck can watch me right? why not?” and “buck makes better pancakes” and “buck will like this” and “why isnt he around anymore, dad?”
my precious precious boy 🥹

do you think sometimes Eddie just drops Chris off at Buck’s loft like they’re a divorced couple and it’s his weekend with Chris or ???

a scene I think about way too much is buck asking for forgiveness and eddie cutting him off saying "ugh I forgive you" like he's annoyed that buck would even think he had to beg for it or that their friendship couldn't survive this... buck was ready to do anything to get him back and eddie made it clear he never lost him in the first place 🥺
