    Summary

    “But Denny says that doesn’t matter because he was adopted and Hen and Karen are still his moms.” Chris shoots back.

    While Eddie is incredibly proud of the kid he’s raising, it’s making it a lot harder to have this conversation. “You’re right, you don’t have to be blood-related to be family,” he concedes because he definitely doesn’t want to teach Chris the opposite when most of his own family isn’t even blood-related. This whole conversation is just making his head spin.

    “So then why can’t Buck be my dad?”

    And really, Eddie doesn’t have an answer to that, because there’s not a single reason he can’t be. If he wants to be, that is.

    Summary

    Sighing, Eddie checks the desk again, about to abandon the cause when sees something wedged in the back. Trying to get a hold of the paper stuck behind a book, Eddie tugs at it forcefully and steps back with a yelp. He looks down and sees his finger’s got a fine line of blood emerging, and he sucks it into his mouth as he opens up the paper.

    “Chris? Is this what you’re looking for?” He hands the paper over, and Chris snatches it while he reads it over, squinting, before gasping and shoving it into his bag.

    “Yes! Let’s go, I’m late!” He grabs his crutches and speeds out of there, and Eddie slumps his shoulders before chasing after him with a curse as he glances at his watch.

    That’s how his day starts. It only goes downhill from there.

    ***

    The Diaz boys are having a rough day. Lucky for them, they meet a firefighter at the 118 who's determined to do anything he can to make them smile. It works, it really, really works.

    Summary

    “Well, tattoos can look like almost anything.” Buck lifts his other arm to show Christopher the null sign on his inner elbow. “Your dad’s is script– uh, words, like this one–” he twists to display the quote on the outside of his forearm. “But I have some that are just shapes.”

    Chris nods at this thoughtfully. “Can you color them?”

    Buck grins. “You can get them in color, yeah. But all of mine are black.”

    Chris glances at his markers, then back at Buck’s arm. “Can I color them?”

    And, well. They’re just Crayolas.

    ~

    For the 9-1-1 Actions Gotcha for Gaza prompt "Chris likes using markers to color in Buck's tattoos and as he gets older, he starts designing them."

    Summary

    “So what does your dad do again?” the unnamed kid asked. (Buck didn’t know all the chess team members. He was trying though)

    “My dads are firefighters,” Chris said without hesitation. That caused Buck to stop where he was standing. Chris had just started his freshman year of highschool. He hadn't seemed to have adjusted to being home, the new school or the idea of Buck and Eddie being a couple yet. They haven’t even broached the subject of him moving in yet. (despite him spending most of his time there and sleeping in the same bed as Eddie… and having alot of his stuff there already… they really needed to talk about Buck moving in) yet… dads?
    ____

    or Buckley-Diaz family fluff and Eddie and Chris want to show just how important buck is to them
