Summary
Tommy stepped off the training helicopter at the Coast Guard helipad in New York, his shoulders tense and his jaw clenched. The urban air rescue training would last two weeks; for anyone else, it would just be work. For him, it was a respite. A break from Los Angeles, from the 118, from the station where every corner still smelled of Buck.
They had broken up three months ago. Not with shouting or broken dishes. With a conversation on the loft balcony that lasted fifteen minutes and left Tommy feeling like the air had been ripped from his lungs. Buck had asked him to move in together, but fear paralyzed Tommy. He was afraid Buck wasn't truly "ready," that his bisexuality would make him doubt himself someday, that he himself (Tommy) wouldn't be enough after years of hiding and being hurt by the closet. That "you'd end up breaking my heart without meaning to" he'd said to Buck when they broke up still echoed in his head.
