Summary
Eddie shakes his head again, and the breath he lets out sounds closer to a sob than anything else. "You don't want a life like that with me, no one would-"
He’s not letting it go there. He refuses to let it go there. Eddie doesn’t deserve that. Buck doesn’t deserve that.
"Eddie." He says, firm and unmoving, loud enough that it seems to quiet everything around them. In one breath, rushed, like he’s running out of time, "I will stand with you between heaven and the earth. I will tell you where you are. Do you love me?"

Summary
He feels Buck’s head just drop onto his shoulder.
And Eddie thinks it must say something that Ravi doesn’t even blink, he just continues his conversation with Buck, and it probably says something that Eddie himself doesn’t even flinch, just takes Buck weight, lets the amusement of the idea of Buck, a 6’2” man leaning over to tuck himself against Eddie’s side.

Summary
Eddie moves to get their duffle bags but stops with his hands around the straps. He looks up at Buck and says his name without really thinking about it.
"Are you okay?" He questions, trying to gauge Buck's facial expressions. "You didn't seem that tired when we left the station."
Buck opens his mouth and hesitates, eyes searching Eddie's own for a second before his expression becomes soft, and he nods. "Yeah, I just got bored waiting in the traffic."
or Buck keeps falling asleep around Eddie and he can't figure out why.

Summary
Buck shrugs, and Eddie brushes their fingers together again. “Nothing,” he looks up at the sky and then back down to the kids running across the park, their parents trailing close behind. “Just people,” and isn’t it always? “It wasn’t horrible,” Buck adds, “just meh, y’know. It's pretty much always just meh without you there.”
“Well,” he mumbles, purposely bumping their shoulder, “I’m here now.”
Buck smiles and looks at the sidewalk, “Yeah, you are.”

Now I feel it like a hurricane (And it's so hard to stop the rain) by Distressed_Ladybug15

Summary
“Buck,” and Eddie’s reaching out, not physically, but the sound of his own name on Eddie’s lips feels like a sort of prompt. “Can we talk about it?”
He taps his fingers against his arms, two of his fingers looping into the edge of his t-shirt sleeve. “Eddie, it’s fine,” he points at himself, “I’m fine, okay, I’m over it.” It sounds like a lie, and it hurts.
“That,” Eddie moves one of his hands to point at the living room, “was not you being ‘over it.’” It’s not an accusation, rather an honest, painful observation.
Or two years later they finally talk about the shooting.

Summary
Buck shrugs like he's not one of the best things that have ever happened to Eddie. "Yeah," he mumbles, "I knew we needed more Ibuprofen, plus Christopher wanted to make those little cookies with the pictures of Santa on them, and I needed stuff for dinner for the next couple of days-"
Eddie feels like he's floating, just a little bit.
"I love you," he murmurs, and Buck's fingers flex on his waist.
"Oh," Buck breathes.

Summary
Eddie watches him for a moment longer before reaching for something next to him on the bathtub, and Buck watches him, but he lets his vision blur, so he’s not actually watching him.
He only finally blinks and focuses on Eddie when Eddie says his name. "Are you up for socks right now?" Eddie asks, holding up two mismatched soft-looking socks, and those are the socks that they never found the missing match for, but Eddie had insisted on keeping them for some inexplicable reason.
And Buck loves him.
He loves Eddie. For keeping the socks and for getting the socks in the fucking first place, for asking Buck without a hint of annoyance.

Summary
And he also apparently really loves the feeling of Buck's strong, nimble fingers interlocked with his own.
Buck is smiling at him, warm and bright and really fucking giddy, and it causes something to stir in Eddie’s heart.or
Five times Buck and Eddie hold hands platonically (sort of), plus one time it’s more than that.

Summary
He wants to count the freckles across the tops of Buck’s sun-kissed shoulders, but he has to be honest. There are too many. So he settles for finally reaching out all the way, pressing his fingertips to Buck’s skin as gently as he can.
And he lays there, listening to the whooshing of the fan and focusing on the heat he can feel on Buck’s skin as he traces it. He outlines scars, and freckles, connecting one to another. He spells words too. He counts the notches in Buck’s spine, then traces the word ‘Beautiful’ just below the T-8 vertebrae.

Summary
Buck raises his eyebrows in that attractive ‘you wanna tell me something’ way and of course, with the added effects of the glasses, Eddie's brain just fucking loops and the first thing he finally blurts is, "Since when do you wear glasses?” And then he blinks at Buck.
or
Buck wears glasses and Eddie malfunctions.

Summary
Buck stops scrubbing, still holding the dish and shaking his head, “No, you have school tomorrow.”
Chris looks at Buck with pure indignation, and maybe Buck doesn’t realize it, but that look comes straight from him. “But-” He tires again.
Eddie looks up from his bowl, “Listen to your father, Mijo,” and his tone leaves no room for discussion.

Summary
"What happened?"
"Nothing."
"Well, there has to be something."
Eddie considers Buck for a moment, “Just people, I guess, sometimes the things they do are just….”
Yawning again, Buck leans forward, resting the side of his face against Eddie’s right shoulder blade. “I know,” he mumbles, letting his eyes close, “but, we do good, you do good, Eds.”

Summary
“Uh-huh,” Buck laughs quietly and Eddie pokes him in the forehead, and when Buck laughs more Eddie flattens his hand on Buck’s face and covers the top half of it. “This is abuse, Eddie,” he mumbles, bringing his hand up to Eddie’s upper arm.
Eddie drags his hand up Buck’s face and into his hair, looping his fingers in the curly strands, “I don’t-” and he’s interrupted by a yawn that takes several seconds, “think so.”

Summary
“Hey,” Eddie murmurs, tipping his head to meet Buck’s downward gaze.
Buck looks back up and Eddie is close enough that their noses almost touch. “Hi,” he replies, “Dance with me,” and it’s half a demand and half a question.
Eddie’s smile is small and soft and reserved for very few people. “I suppose I can do that.”

Summary
For a second they just stand there, staring into Chris’ room, then Buck tips his head back and to the side so he can meet Eddie’s eyes. “Hi,” he mumbles, voice hoarse and overused from work.
“Hey,” Eddie mumbles back, voice slightly better than Buck’s but not by much. “You doing okay?”
Buck nods, but he lets out another shuddering breath that makes his shoulders shake. “I just want to go to sleep,” he pauses, staring down at the space between their feet, “please.”

Summary
Eddie shakes his head, “Nothing.”
“No,” Buck draws. “Not nothing, you’re staring into my soul, I should be allowed to know why.”
“Maybe-” Eddie parrots, moving closer by an inch or so. “Maybe, I just like looking at you.”

Summary
“You were in the car,” Eddie says finally, breathing hard, and his lungs hurt again.
Buck scrunched his nose up and sighed for what felt like the millionth time in the last ten minutes, “I’m fine.”
Eddie scoffed, “No you’re not.”
Buck raised an eyebrow, “I’m better than you. Eddie, you barely even remembered I was there.”
And something in Buck’s voice gets Eddie to remember the car ride before the collision.

Summary
Eddie lets out a small sigh, “I’m sorry,” he finally says, pulling at the cuffs of his sweatshirt.
He watches Buck’s eyes flit across the street to Eddie for a fraction of a second. He huffs and smiles, it’s a little bitter, “No, you’re not.”
“I am,” Eddie rushes to amend, “for scaring you.”

Summary
Steve almost seems ethereal. The way he has his head tilted towards the sky, letting the light warm his skin and brighten his features, and the way he balances gracefully, moves like he’s weightless. Eddie thinks he looks at him like he's the most beautiful thing Eddie's ever seen.
He could be.
Possibly.
Probably.
