    Summary

    “I’m alive,” Eddie whispers, pulling Buck in closer by his waist, all of them touching. Pulling Buck out of his head, pulling him closer to him. “We’re alive. It’s okay. We’re gonna be okay.” 

    “I thought you were dead,” Buck’s voice cracks in so many places it’s barely legible, but Eddie hears it anyway. Hears him anyway. 

    “I know,” he whispers, and he sounds broken. Severed clean in two, a gaping, bleeding wound. “I know, baby. So did I.” 

    —a tiny motel room and the confessions that come with almost losing the love of your life.

    a 9x13 coda.

    Summary

    Tired of his mom's nagging, Eddie tells a lie that spirals wildly out of control.

    -

    "He has someone else he can go to," Eddie said automatically, Buck's smiling face flashing into his mind.

    "Your friend Buck doesn't count," she said dismissively, and Eddie felt his hackles rising defensively. "I'm talking about a partner, Eddie. Someone who will commit to being with you and Christopher for the rest of your lives."

    "Buck is committed," Eddie said before he could think about what he was saying. "He's not going anywhere."

    There was a pause on the other end of the line.

    "When you say committed…" she asked hesitantly, voice trailing off.

    Summary

    He needed to breathe.

    He’d been in enough pain in his life to know that.

    So, Buck, taking all the experience of growing up alone and seeking the attention even if came at the price of a broken arm or a skinned knee did what he knew would help.

    He exhaled slowly and melted into the table.

    “Good boy,” Eddie said and all of Buck’s thoughts went silent as the buzzing that had been under his skin stopped.

    Everything stopped.

    Everything went still.

    And Buck felt real for the first time in such a long time.

    Summary

    Later, when people ask Eddie how he did it, he won’t have an answer.
    He just knows he feels the metal give, and then he has his arms around Buck, kicking his way back up to the surface.
    He doesn’t stop to consider the mechanics of what’s happening until after he drags them to the shore.
    The problem is that Buck is still not breathing.

    or
    Buck drowns.

    Summary

    The morning after Buck and Eddie share a bed for the first time.

    -----

    “I liked it,” Eddie says, pulling his thumb back just a little to coast back over Buck’s bottom lip, spreading the spit to make it shiny. “I like it.”

    Buck audibly swallows. “What?” he asks, but not like he didn’t hear. Like he wants it more than he thinks he’s allowed, and so he asks, to make sure Eddie is certain.

    “I missed it,” Eddie continues. “Sharing a bed with someone. Not being alone.”
