Summary
Sometimes, Eddie feels so guilty that he throws up. He doesn’t mean to, but it’s like all the guilt and shame in his stomach overflows until he can’t contain it anymore, and it spills out of him.
When he spends time with Buck, the guilt is there too.
It’s there when he avoids his touch, while he pretends not to see the hurt expression in Buck’s face. It’s there when he tells him that, really, he’s fine. It’s there when he asks Buck to play basketball or watch some football with him instead of letting himself just listen to him ramble for hours and hours.
It goes to sleep with him and wakes him up in the morning. It creeps itself into every corner of his body, and eventually settles under his skin like a second layer.
Or; AU where Buck and Eddie meet in middle school and quickly become best friends. But as they grow up alongside each other, their dynamic evolves more and more into something Eddie is not quite ready to face.
