Summary
"Buck, just come stay with us,” Eddie said again.
Buck looked at him like he was crazy. “Where would I sleep?”
“Where are you sleeping here?” Eddie asked, not missing Buck’s guilty glance at the pillows and sheets piled on his couch that answered his question. “I guarantee you my couch is just as comfortable.”
Buck seemed to really consider it for the first time, jaw twitching as he weighed Eddie’s offer but then he shook his head sadly.
“You just feel bad for me, laid up and staying here alone.”
Eddie shrugged. “Is that a bad thing? Caring about you?”
OR
After the ladder truck explosion Buck moves in with Eddie and they both help each other heal in different ways.

Summary
“I’m not there anymore Buck. I’m … I’m in a way better place now, really. But sometimes I think … I never did finish that homework from Frank. And maybe that means I never fully processed what happened over there … and things could get bad again. Then we met Tommy and he said he was an army pilot and I thought hey, this guy might get it. Maybe … maybe I can talk to him.”
Buck’s jaw hung open for a moment.
“You wanted to hang out with Tommy alone to help work through your army trauma,” Buck said eventually, his voice quiet. Eddie nodded in agreement and Buck dropped his face into his hands. “God I’m such an asshole.”

Summary
Eddie turned to Buck, knowing he had played his second trump card of the night. If it was the choice between Eddie and an entire family, it was obvious what choice he was going to make.
Michaels walked away and Eddie strapped on the vest, never hesitating, never questioning whether he should walk into a building full of armed criminals. Not caring that Buck couldn’t go with him. That he might have to stand outside and watch Eddie get shot. Again. That Buck might have to watch him die.
Buck grit his teeth. “I hate you a little for doing this.”
Eddie stopped and hung his head. “Buck, is that really the last thing you want to say to me before I go in there?”
