    Summary

    Buck feels raw when he wakes up. His face hurts and he’s got a pounding headache. He’s overwarm and not alone. Something moves on his arm—

    He slaps at it blindly.

    “Ow, fuck! What the hell, man?” Eddie whisper-shouts, startled but still endearingly mindful of the quiet sanctity of the bunk room.

    “I thought you were a bug,” Buck croaks.

      Buck is just trying to do what Bobby told him to do. It might require an extended bug metaphor to get there.

    Summary

    If you asked Eddie Diaz what grief felt like, he’d tell you it was a smoke alarm that never turned off.

    If you asked him what denial felt like, he’d say it was standing in a strip club surrounded by objectively gorgeous women while his eyes—traitors—tracked one man through the crowd like a compass needle finding north.

    Summary

    “I met a lady on the call the other day, the one I pulled out of the other unit… she said she was psychic and then started talking about granting wishes. It all sounded so ridiculous, but I-I think she did something to me. I know I sound crazy, but I think I have to do whatever people tell me to.”

    Buck jerks back, stands to his full height, and Eddie sees the last twenty-four hours playing through his eyes in perfect clarity, without one second of doubt. Buck believes him, instantly, wholly, without question, and Eddie suffocates the sob in his throat.

    “Oh, Eddie, you’re…” Buck says, “wait, is that why you were giving that guy your number?”

    “That’s your question?” He gasps through a laugh, and it’s wet and dangerous.

    “Yes,” Buck says, without an ounce of remorse.

    OR

    Eddie gets the Ella Enchanted treatment.

    Summary

    Sometimes Eddie's brain ran on autopilot, and sometimes that ended with his best friend's finger in his mouth.

    Summary

    “You didn’t tell me your agent’s name was Dick,” Eddie says, halfway to a laugh.

    Buck tries to force a smile onto his face, but it won’t come. “Yeah, he didn’t mention that before. Apparently, that was info he only wanted to share with you.”

    “Oh, weird,” Eddie says, like it’s not worth thinking about. “Still funny, though.”

    “Hilarious,” Buck says as he pulls into the street and Eddie types in the next address.

    OR

    The problem isn't that Buck's real estate agent is into Eddie or that Eddie seems to like it; it's a matter of professionalism.
