    Summary

    Eddie has finally relaxed, finally convinced himself that this is all just a funny coincidence, when the man looks up and locks eyes with Eddie.
    No.
    Fuck.
    No, no, no.
    This cannot be happening.

    Summary

    “Why are you so mad?”

    “Because that bullet was supposed to hit me!” Eddie looks startled by his own words, but he barrels on. “You jumped in front of me, Buck. Why the fuck would you do that?”

    “Why the fuck wouldn’t I?” Buck asks, as if the answer is obvious. Because even if he can’t remember right this second, he doesn’t doubt it’s something he would have done. “After you got shot by that sniper I swore I’d never let anything like that happen again if there was anything I could do to stop it.”

    “Yeah, well, jokes on you,” Eddie says, taking a sip of his beer. “Bullet went through both of us anyway, didn’t it?”

    (Buck takes a bullet for Eddie. Eddie's not happy about it.)
