Eddie turns to his clock it's 2:56 am he thought he slept the whole night but no. Que carajo (what the fuck) Eddie cursed in Spanish he had just spent the last 17 minutes thinking about Buck. Which was weird because he had no feelings for Buck or he thought...

The first song that came to his mind when he thought of Buck was to the "window to wall" which was weird because once again, Eddie had no sexual feelings for Buck.

Another long 6 hours passed by Eddie didn't realize until he heard Chris's alarm clock go off. He came and said good morning to Chris and asked his if he wanted pancakes. Of course Chris said yes, Eddie was off he got the pancake mix, eggs, sugar, and his Abuela secret recipe to make the PERFECT pancakes.

As Eddie was buttering up the pan his mind drifted off to a whole other world. He was thinking about Buck and what would his and Chris's life would be like if he was married to him. But his thought got cut short when Chris called him because he was out of toothpaste.

Eddie got the new tooth paste and went back to cooking the pancakes, by the time Eddie came back the pan was hot enough to cook. Nothing could be hotter than Buck, he thought to himself. As Eddie made the pancakes he kept on noticing that his mind would keep thinking about Buck. Edmundo Diaz was a STRAIGHT catholic man, why would he keep on thinking about his best friend that he has NO feelings for. He
shrugged them off and told himself it's just a phase.

Eddie didn't have a shift so after he made breakfast, got ready, and dropped Chris to school he had nothing to do he was alone with his thoughts, he didn't last five minutes, therefore, to distract himself, Eddie cleaned that whole house top to bottom changed the sheets, rearrange his room 4 times, washed all the dirty laundry in the house, and vacuumed and mopped the house.

Which had only taken him about 3 hours so he still had approximately 5 hours until he had to pick Chris up from school. Eddie needed to get some steam and energy out so he did what anything a "straight" man would do, BOXING!

Eddie went to the boxing gym. He got all his anger, steam, and confusion out on  punching bag. Why do I dream about him, why can't I keep a girlfriend, am I straight,WHY IS HE WITH TOMMY?! Eddie grunting between each word, punching the bag harder and harder until he couldn't feel his knuckles. He took his gloves off to check his hand. He bruised it pretty bad. SHIT Eddie said staring at his bruises.

A guy came up to him and said bruises? Yea Eddie said as he winced in pain. The guy gave him an ice pack
"Thanks," Eddie said softly.
"No problem you can get them over there by the weights, oh by the way my name is Alan, Eddie right?" the guy replied.

Eddie looked the man with confusion written all over his face.
"I know you from the news, you're a fire fighter, right?," Alan said, completely oblivious to Eddie's perplexed expression.
"Yeah," Eddie said, his eyes remaining fixed on his knuckles.

"I was watching you for a few minutes before I came over here," Alan said calmly, "I watched you put all your anger and stress into that bag. How about you do that for money, I run a boxing ring if you win you get a prize of 3 grand and if you don't, then your out," Alan handed Eddie a business card with his number and the address of the ring.
"Come, if you want it starts at 8:15. If you decide to show up I've got a spot for you. Have a good day," Alan said and Eddie thought he saw a mysterious glint and a twinkle in his eyes. Eddie remained confused, however now he was quite intrigued, as he took another look at the card, Alan had given him.

Eddie went home thinking about what Alan said back at the gym. He was debating whether he would like to go or not. As Eddie wrapped his knuckles and iced them he muttered a "screw it" to himself, before hastily pulling out his phone.

Eddie texted the number from the card and saying he'll be there.

He picked up Chris from school, greeting him with a "Hey buddy" as soon as the boy climbed into the car.
"Hey dad," Chris replied, his eyes immediately fell upon Eddie's bruised hand.
"What happened?" the boy asked, curiously.
Eddie thought quickly, replying with, "I hit my hand on the wall,"
He gave the kid a weak smile
"Okay," Chris replied.

"What do you want for dinner, kiddo?" Eddie asked.
"RASING CANES!" yelled Chris, looking up from his homework.
"You got it!" Eddie replied, enthusiastically.
As Eddie ordered it from the app and picked it up, he opted to call Carla and ask if she could watch Chris for the night because he had a lot of "errands" to run.
"I'd love to! I'll pick him up from your place," she had replied.
"Thank you so much Carla," Eddie had thanked her.

By 7 o clock, Chris was already at Carla's, as Eddie was getting himself ready to go to the boxing ring. Eddie looked at his bruised hand and wondered if he should even do this.
"Actually, screw it," he said.
