I would absolutely love to know more about the father's day one 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
so basically @gayeddieagenda said this and i started running with it in my google doc and now it is 1.2k words with flashbacks to eddie's first fathers day as a "father" (<- eddies thoughts not mine), eddies first fathers day with chris, their first one in LA, allusions to a little mini fic i wrote like 2 years ago where for fathers day in 2019 buck helps chris get eddie a "worlds best dad" mug (i wish i could find the link), and it ends on a bittersweet phone call in present day <3 here's a bit of the interstitial present day stuff
His phone buzzes on the counter, the hope that lived in his chest flickering brighter. Evan said he would play basketball today if you want. From Tommy. I guess maybe that’s not as reassuring given what happened last time. Maybe time with the punching bag? Buck had texted even before he had woken up, let me know if you want to do anything today. And if Eddie was honest with himself, he didn’t want to do anything. Going to the park to play a pick up game where they might see fathers and their kids doing countless activities made him slightly nauseous. Pummeling a bag felt useless, he had done it enough. And he wasn’t angry. It was too much energy to be angry. He had already tried to be put on shift for today, but it had really been no use. Getting something you wanted was an impossible task at this point, even if it was to do something nice. So Eddie had decided to lock the doors and close the blinds and pretend the rest of the world didn’t exist for today.
