    Summary

    Maddie fiddles around on her phone for a moment. “March 29th is the Kings game?” she asks, and Eddie nods. “I can get you rinkside.”

    Eddie almost chokes on his drink. “And how much is that going to cost?” he asks, considering the cheapest ticket he’s seen is pushing $350 and even then they weren’t rinkside. Eddie feels faint at the thought of it.

    But Maddie giggles and says, “Nothing, they’d be free.”

    Eddie goes to argue, tries to tell Maddie he absolutely cannot take tickets worth probably $500 off her hands for nothing but she shakes her head some more. “My brother plays for the Leafs,” she explains, “the tickets are free for me to get, Eddie.”

    Or, Chris has really gotten into hockey lately. Good thing Maddie's brother plays for Chris's favourite team.

    Summary

    Think, Buckley, think, he scolded himself, trying to focus on figuring out what was wrong. Dizziness, headache, shortness of breath, chesty coughing, exhaustion. Someone had to know what was wrong. He glanced around but his vision was fuzzy, so he slowly grasped about for his phone until he was able to grab it from where he’d dropped it. Through blurry eyes he fumbled to unlock his phone and struggled to find his contacts. Eddie would know. Or Bobby. They’d know why Buck felt like he was drowning.
    …Drowning.
    Drowning.
    He was drowning.

    -----

    After the tsunami, Buck goes home alone when he shouldn't have and he starts to suffer from secondary drowning, an excess of water in the lungs. He stops breathing before Eddie finds him. Will he make it out unscathed?

    Summary

    Buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “I’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. Really, he doesn’t. The 118 has too many good, kind people for that.

    But every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to Eddie or Bobby or Hen or Chim, he hears Eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.”

    —you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting—

    So each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence.

    Buck develops a relationship with the ocean, avoids talking about the day Eddie was shot, realizes he might be in love, and drives.
