    Summary

    "Hey, you made it."

    Buck turns toward the voice, already saying "sorry, he's got a lot of energy, he's—" and then he gets a look at the swim instructor, and the rest of the sentence walks off a cliff.

    Because the swim instructor is shirtless.

    Obviously he's shirtless, he's a swim instructor, that's the dress code, Buck understands this intellectually. What Buck did not account for is that the swim instructor would look like that — like someone took every good idea the human body has ever had and put them all in one place and then made him relaxed about it on top of everything, loose, smiling at Buck like Buck isn't a sweating disaster clutching a four-year-old by the swim shirt.

    "I'm Eddie," the swim instructor says, and sticks out a hand.

    "Buck," Buck says, eventually. He shakes the hand. The hand is tan, and big, and — no. He's not doing this. There's a child present. Several children.

    "And this must be Theo."

    Or,
    Buck falls for Theo's swim instructor, literally.

    Summary

    Alex has spent too much of his life talking, talking, talking, not to know the signs when someone doesn’t want to hear him anymore. He's used to it. Watches out for the signs carefully. Stops himself before it gets too much ... before he gets too much.

    It throws him completely when Henry shows none of those signs.

    or: the one where lover boy Henry makes sure Alex knows he's never too much
