Summary
Eddie left, and Buck had to learn how to live with it. With an empty house, with quiet nights, with the aching space Eddie used to fill.
So he moved on. Or at least, he tried. He found new distractions, new hands to hold him down, new lips to whisper his name.
But then Eddie came back. And suddenly, none of it feels like enough.

Summary
“I’ll do whatever you want, just, please.” Buck sobs out the last word, eyes burning with unshed tears.
“A vow.” The man leans uncomfortably close to Buck. The knife brushes against his neck, lightly scratching across the top layer of Buck’s skin. The man’s cold blue eyes hold Buck’s full attention. “That’s what I require. Sell me your allegiance.”
Buck stares back at the killer, unable to fully process what is being asked of him. He sees a flash of anger dance in the stranger’s gaze. He's impatient. Unpredictable. Fear pours into Buck's chest as he realizes he might not get a second chance at this. He has to make this count. “I vow to give you complete control over the remainder of my life. My body is yours to destroy—so long as you let my sister live and return safely to her family.”
__
Or, After Eddie leaves for Texas, Buck goes to seek comfort from his sister and walks in on her kidnapping. In order to save Maddie's life, Buck offers up his instead. Unintentionally agreeing to something worse than death.

Summary
“Some of us don’t need lighting to look good,” he spat, immediately defensive.
That got a proper laugh of Eddie. Buck straightened to his full height, chest puffing up like he was preparing to get socked, but Eddie simply rolled his short sleeves up, stepping underneath the overhead light before casually stretching his arms in a way that he knew made them look all tight and veiny. He smiled, full of innocent malice, then flexing once to watch Buck short circuit.
“What, like this?” he asked.
A soft, involuntary noise—something between a yelp and a whimper—drew his attention away from his own arms and when he looked up properly, he was treated to the sight of Buck, wide eyed and rosy cheeked, his pink petal mouth parting to gape at Eddie’s biceps.
Eddie quirked an eyebrow. Up close, he could see the way Buck’s pupils had dilated.
Oh.
So that’s what this was.
Buck hadn’t been trying to compete. He’d been trying to impress Eddie.
S1 Probie Buck, jealous of S8 Eddie's competence, tried to start a one sided rivalry with him. Meanwhile, Eddie thought Buck had a big fat crush on him.
