    Summary

    Buck's parents' words linger like ghosts: he's too much, too intense, and no one stays. But Eddie keeps proving him wrong —one quiet reassurance, one terrifying call, one perfect day at a time.

    OR

    Five times Buck was convinced his intensity would drive Eddie away —and the one time Eddie made sure he never had to wonder again.

    This story is inspired by "Porfa No Te Vayas" by Morat

    Summary

    “Is everything ok?” Chris asked.

    He tried to push back the panic that had settled in his chest. He couldn’t cry, he couldn’t have a panic attack. Not right now. Not when he has to be strong for Chris.

    Not when he has to be strong for Buck.

    “Dad, where’s Buck?”

    “He- He’s…” Eddie stammered, “He was supposed to be back an hour ago. I don’t… I don’t know where he is.”

    Summary

    The woman followed her gaze only to catch Eddie staring at Buck with his jaw slack completely distracted by the way Buck’s shoulders flexed under his gear as he leaned into the kitchen.

    Eddie blinked too late while yanking his eyes away with his cheeks heating.

    The old woman’s eyes widened knowingly. She whispered again softer this time.

    “Ohhh. Are they a couple? Because if not…”

    she gasped.

    “..that boy is so in love with him.”

    Hen slapped a hand over her mouth with her shoulders shaking with laughter.

    “What?”

    Eddie frowned with his cheeks coloring.

    “What’s so funny?”

    “Nothing”

    Hen croaked while trying not to lose it.
    Buck straightened while holding up the scorched microwave tray like it was a trophy.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry,” Eddie says, putting the glass of water down. He’s shaking, too, Buck can’t help but notice. Buck wants to reach out, but he literally cannot move, and he lets Eddie step away, walking back to his chair and he falls back on it. “Sorry,” he says again, his voice barely a breath.

    Buck shakes his head, opening his mouth to say something but nothing comes out. What can he say, really? Sorry, Eds, I thought you were my kidnapper standing over me! So he sighs, head going down to his chest and he winces, both from the pain and from bringing that hurt look on his best friend’s face. “I-I got startled,” he says, voice creaking as he speaks.

    Eddie waves him off, “It’s-It’s okay,” stutters, fidgeting with his fingers. “I got close,” he says, gesturing to him, the bed and the glass of water on the table. A moment of silence passes

    OR : Buck struggles with the aftermath of the kidnapping.

    Summary

    After Buck is kidnapped by a man who blames him for an old loss, he makes it out alive, but not unchanged. Recovery comes in fragments: sleepless nights, trembling hands, grief that never quite learned how to leave, and the unbearable humiliation of needing to be held together by someone else.

    So he goes where he can still breathe. He goes to Eddie.

    Under Eddie’s roof, in the quiet shape of domesticity and the shadow of everything they have already lost, Buck begins to understand that survival is only the first half of the story. The second half is softer, but more frightening. And maybe, at last, a kind of coming home.
