Summary
Buck knew this house by sound.
The creak in the hallway outside Christopher’s room. Theo’s uneven little footsteps running full speed through the living room. Eddie humming half-asleep in the kitchen before sunrise.
Buck listens to every sound in the house like he’s trying to memorize them before they disappear.

Summary
“Buck, I don’t want to upset you,” he said. “But can you feel this?” Eddie’s eyes gestured down at his arm. Buck followed along the bandages, expecting to see some sort of spot of red or maybe an odd-angled turn. Instead his heart rose and fell too fast as he realized that since they’d been talking, Eddie hadn’t just had his hand on his shoulder. His other was delicately wrapped in Buck’s exposed fingers, starkly white even against the bedding. Buck tried to move them, wanting so badly, even with all this and even as much as it could give him away, to curl back.
They didn’t move.
……
After a spiral, Buck attempts the unthinkable. Eddie helps him recover, but his lasting injuries present new challenges that jeopardize his career. Now he has to get his mental health in order, face potentially leaving the firehouse, and all while being completely and totally in love with his best friend.Series

Summary
He takes Buck's hand, like he has the right, and sees the evidence of Buck's devotion, a love letter written in blood, etched into every fingertip in a fit of desperation, and Eddie is overwhelmed with his love.
The dam that broke as he fought for air no longer exists, and he doesn't know how to exist without shouting wordlessly about his love for Buck with every fiber of his being, with every word he says, every touch, every look, every breath.
He knows he should be worried, he should try to hide it better, because he cannot risk it, cannot risk destroying what they have, but he is too tired, too woozy, too hurt.
So he holds Buck’s hand, and looks into his eyes, that hold all the light of his existence. It feels like standing in the light of his personal sun, wrapped in its warmth.

Summary
A deeply tired, ugly little part of Eddie wanted to know what would happen if he simply sat down on the apparatus floor and bled through his shirt. Would they notice then? Or would he have to actually pass out first?
He hated that thought as soon as he had it.
It wasn’t fair. They loved Buck because Buck was lovable, because he was family, because he had just been kidnapped and tortured and dragged through hell. Eddie loved him too. Maybe more than was good for him. Certainly more than was wise.
And if Eddie had made himself harder to care for, then that wasn’t on them.
Note:
Now that we’ve survived the finale, I’ve decided to change part of my story and shift the flow a little. So to my loyal readers — you may want to start rereading from Chapter 9 so everything connects better from there.Bookmarked by Banaz_29
