    Summary

    He didn't care if he got hurt. He was an adult, as long as it wasn't life threatening, he'd grit his teeth and bear the pain. But Theo, sweet precious little Theo, he didn't deserve to feel any pain. And if Eddie had to use his own body as a shield to ensure this piece of Buck's heart got home unscathed, he would do it over and over again.

    Just let him be okay. Keep him safe, don't worry about me. It was the last thing Eddie thought before the ground fully fell away beneath them.

    Summary

    The bruises mottle Buck’s skin, like paint splattered clumsily on a canvas. Except—the artist behind this, whoever they are, clearly went about it with intent and precision. A curator of hickeys; Buck’s pale thighs like the walls of a gallery. A thriving one, at that. It’s… a lot of marks.

    Eddie wonders if it hurts. Well—he knows that part already, at least based on what Buck told him a few minutes ago. So instead, Eddie starts to wonder if it hurt. The procedure behind the photo; the act of being marked up so irrefutably.

    Buck reacts to Eddie’s thumbs up message with a thumbs down.

    Buck: I just accidentally sexted you dude
    Don’t 👍👍👍👍 me

    Or: Eddie receives an unintended photo. Then he bites some thighs about it.

    Summary

    Buck knows it’s not sustainable by the fourth night, when he wakes up sweating and unable to breathe, one hand clutching his ribs where she’d stuck him the first time with the cattle prod and the other reaching to turn on the lamp at his bedside.

    It’s been one week since he got back, so four sleepless nights puts him firmly in the "more bad than good" territory. What the hell is he supposed to do about all this shit? He alluded to therapy when he talked with Eddie at work the other day, but he’s not going to do that. Therapy is totally hit or miss for him. He’s been to two therapists, one was a miss, one a hit, which means he’s due for another miss.

    He’s sure as hell not going to talk to Maddie about it, because that’d be, like, super triggering or something. She just got over her own kidnapping a few years ago. And who else, Eddie? Eddie had a traumatic experience in New Mexico as well; he doesn’t need to be responsible for Buck’s too.

    But the fact of the matter is, something’s got to change. So, Buck decides to start self-medicating.

    Summary

    Eddie lets himself break a little, now that the only thing that can keep him upright is here, breathing heavy against his neck. His stomach coils tight, and the heat from Buck warms Eddie up from the inside out. His arms comes around to Buck's shoulders, and he tugs him a little closer.

    When he huffs a breath out against the top of Buck's shoulder, it comes out choked, and Buck whispers something against his neck before he repeats it, louder.

    "Hey, it's okay. We're gonna find him."

    Buck separates them, still holding both of his arms in a death grip, and Eddie looks into his eyes, seeing the fierce conviction behind them before he says it again.

    "We're going to find him."

    Eddie has to believe that. For himself. For his son.

    And for Buck.

    Summary

    “You should watch Heated Rivalry! It’s perfect for you guys,” Hen said brightly, rising from her chair and making her way toward the sink to dump out the rest of her coffee.

    Ravi’s accompanying nod was almost grave. “HBO Max.”

    ------

    Buck and Eddie watch Heated Rivalry together and get a little... heated, together.
