Summary
Buck’s vision was starting to blur at the edges, a dark vignette creeping in like smoke. His hand fumbled for Eddie’s sleeve but didn’t quite make contact. He slumped further down, back pressing against the base of the table, trying to stay quiet. Trying not to make this worse.
His fingers came away from his chest, soaked in red.
No one had seen it yet.
And Buck couldn’t find the air to call out.
OR
The 118 only meant to attend a gala—but by the end of the night, Buck was shot, and nothing was ever the same again.

Summary
“He told me he loved me.” Buck’s voice was quiet, fragile. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to block out the sting that came with the memory. “I didn’t say it back.”
He let out a shaky breath, rubbing his face with both hands, his chest heaving. The pain, the grief—it had never left him, but now it was raw, it was real, and it was breaking through everything he had tried to hold back.
“I didn’t say it, Eddie,” he whispered, voice cracking. “I didn’t… I didn’t even say it. And now he’s gone.”
OR
After a rescue mission ends in collapse, Buck and Eddie find themselves trapped with no radio, no way out, and too much unsaid between them. In the quiet between disasters, they’ll finally face what’s always been there. Post-8x17.

“Okay,” Buck mumbles sleepily, smushing his cheek into Eddie’s pillow. “Can I tell you a secret?”
“Always,” Eddie says, pulling the duvet up to his shoulders. “What is it?” He asks, flicking on the bedside light.

Summary
"Hey, sorry about that, I was just—Eddie?”
Eddie’s head shot up at the sight of Buck, frozen halfway towards his seat. “Buck?”
Buck let out an awkward chuckle and glanced around. “There must be a mix-up, I’ll go ask—”
“No!” Eddie practically yelled the word, and then he winced at the desperation in his own voice. Belatedly, he realized it was possible that people who were interested in men were supposed to be sitting there. But Buck was watching him with wide eyes, still paused leaning on his chair, so Eddie added, “I could use a six-minute break. You know, from finding out how many siblings every woman in this bar has.”
Buck’s eyes glinted in the dim bar lighting. He finally took the seat and asked, “oh, so you don’t care about how many siblings I have?”
——
Eddie and Buck finally go on a date. It just takes them three times to realize it.

Summary
Apparently everyone in New Mexico has a better gaydar than the rest of the continental United States combined, because Eddie's not sure so many people have ever clocked him in such a brief span of time ever. Let alone so cruelly.
There's a lot of things about himself that Eddie's sort of always known, but kept pushed away in a faraway corner of his mind. Somewhere safe, where it's out of reach. He could live a life entire pretending it isn't there, and if it rots away inside of him until it's ugly and broken, well. Even more reason to never look.
Unfortunately. His best friend in the whole world keeps making him look.
or: Buck and Eddie stop at a motel halfway through their ride back home. Eddie thinks a lot. Then he says a lot, too.
