    Summary

    The pings were all from Overse’s interface and routed from a transit ring called Trans-All, the kind of ping that was just are you in range – are you in range – are you in range. It was a call for help and it fucking terrified me, because I was answering it way, way too late.

    Summary

    Hen sighs. “Something had to be said before you idiots put us in mortal peril.”

    “I’d never do anything to jeopardize our safety on a job! You know that Hen.”

    “Maybe not on purpose,” Chim chimes in, “but, see, the thing is, when you flirt with our Buck, his brain turns off. He just bluescreens.”

    “You’re flustering the poor boy, Eddie,” Hen adds. “And it’s making him dumb.”

    “-er,” Chim adds.

    “Wha- Buck isn’t flustered.”

    Eddie is flustered. His face feels hot. He takes another sip of his coffee to give his hands something do to, but that only makes him feel warmer. Shit.

    Hen levels him with the most deadpan look. “Last week he walked into a stop sign after you called him ‘big boy’ on a call.”

    Eddie nearly spits out his coffee.

     

    Or: the one where Eddie subconsciously flirts with Buck without realizing and Buck is actively trying not to have a heart attack at work about it

    Summary

    "I don’t like oranges.”
    “Since when?” Eddie frowns. “You used to love oranges.”
    Christopher shrugs. “I don’t like them anymore.”
    And that’s fine, really. Tastes change. Christopher doesn’t have to like oranges.
    It’s just that he does. Christopher loves oranges. Christopher has loved oranges since the first time he tasted one, Eddie watching on over a shaky video call from the desert.

     

    Or, Eddie knows his kid, and his kid loves oranges. Buck knows both of them better than Eddie realized. He shows it in various citrus-based ways.
