Summary
"She said they weren't bad people so I'm guessing they weren't abusive?"
It felt like a bucket of ice water had just been dumped on Buck's head. Chimney's question hit Buck harder than he ever thought it would. He hadn't thought about his parents in a decade, hadn't seen or talked to them in longer. He had stopped flinching away from the phantom hands long ago, stopped squirming when Bobby squeezed his shoulder or Chimney patted his back, learned that Hen's hugs were unconditional and loving, and absolutely thrived when any of them showed him affection. Most of all, he loved when Eddie pressed a knee into Buck's during meals at work, or when he sat far closer than necessary in the firetruck, he preened when the love of his life his best friend squeezed his bouncing knee or let his hands linger longer than normal for two "platonic best friends".
One mention of his parents though, and that world was falling apart.
