I promise this started as a head canon, but now it’s just a 200-word ficlet

Before he comes around on Buck, Eddie has to go pick a sick Chris up at school one day while Bobby’s on a call at work, and there’s no option but to leave Ryan with Buck. He starts screaming as soon as Eddie is out of sight, but sobs himself into exhaustion before Eddie gets back from his Abuela’s house (so Chris doesn’t spread whatever illness he has to Ryan – he’ll pick him up for bedtime).

So Eddie gets home, and Ryan’s dropped into this mid-meltdown position where he fell asleep. There’s no way he’s comfortable, but Buck is standing in the doorway, refusing to touch his son for fear that he’ll wake up and remember that he hates Buck, and crying because his child won’t even be in the same roomwith him if Eddie or Bobby or Chim aren’t there.

Edde knows Buck wants to get closer to Ryan, so he hoists him into his arms and pulls Buck to sit on the couch with them. They watch the middle third of Pirates of the Carribean because it’s on TV until Ryan wakes up and insists on Daniel Tiger until dinnertime, and again until it’s time for bed.

“Truck beds aren’t as comfortable as movies make them out to be.” Ryan/Maddie

“Well, that was fun.” He rolls off of her, tucking himself back into his jeans and refastening his belt, but hesitates when Maddie doesn’t say anything. “Right?”

She’s staring at him, trying to remember what he’d said his name was right before he helped her up into the bed of his buddy’s truck. Bryan? Brad? Ryan? Ryan sounds right.

“Hmm? O-oh yeah, it was great.” As Madeline processes what she’s just done, she can feel the shame heating her face. She's not lying to probably-Ryan, it was great. Some of the best sex she’s ever had. But Madeline Bright doesn’t do one-night stands. And she certainly doesn’t do one-afternoon stands during the first quarter of the Harvard-Yale game. With someone from Yale.

But here she is, his blue sweatshirt balled up under her head, thinking through the last half hour of her life.

“You sure?” It’s sweet, she thinks, that he’s worried about her comfort level when they just met at the tailgate party.  

“Yeah. Um, truck beds aren’t as comfortable as movies make them out to be.” She sits up and shakes her hair out. “Here’s your hoodie back.”

“Keep it.” He jumps off the tailgate and grins at her. “Until we meet again.”

The first night Buck and Eddie take him home, it’s before he’s come around on anyone but Bobby. Buck leaves work a little early to go pick up a twin bedframe and mattress for him, and Bobby ends up having to come home with Eddie and Ryan after work. He stays for dinner (Ryan eats sitting on his lap) and goes with Buck to show him the room he’ll share with Christopher. When Eddie comes in and says it’s bedtime, he takes Bobby by the hand and pulls him over to the bed. Bobby tells him it’s a cool bed with awesome firetruck sheets and goes to leave, but Ryan runs over and drags him back. They get the memo that he doesn’t want to sleep by himself, and Buck offers to stay with him, but he starts screeching. Eddie says he’ll stay, and Ryan stops screaming but tucks himself behind Bobby’s legs.  

Poor guy is such a sucker for kids (and such a good surrogate grandpa right outta the gate) that he ends up cramming himself on a twin bed for a couple nights, and spending two more sitting in the doorway until Ryan’s asleep, because it’s the only way to get him to stop crying long enough not to make himself and actually let anyone in the house get any sleep

When he’s seven, his mom tries to come take him back. Because she never signed paperwork revoking custody, she tells LAPD that Eddie abducted her son and gets him arrested and brought down to the station. Athena gets wind of it and is able to get him out, but Ryan still spends three days in emergency foster placement and has to listen to this woman he hardly remembers argue to the judge that she’s a better parent than either of his dads. A paternity test later, and after testimony from the entire firefam, the judge grants Buck full custody, and a protection order against her, but a week later she tries to violate that and pick him up early from school. It takes like three months before she’s back out of their lives, and another seven after that before Ryan stops waking Eddie up with dreams about “the mean lady trying to take me away again”
