Summary
“I got the call today,” he said finally, voice barely above a whisper. “They tested me. I’m a match.”
She straightened. “For Christopher?”
Buck nodded. “Yeah. They think a transplant could save him.”
Silence settled between them, heavy, familiar. She looked away, her eyes fixed on the photo of Daniel on the fridge.
“You know what this means, Buck,” she said quietly.
“I do,” he murmured. “I just keep thinking about him. About how it didn’t work. I was supposed to save him and I wasn’t enough”
Maddie’s voice softened. “You were a baby, Buck. You did everything you could. It wasn’t your fault.”
He shook his head. “What if it happens again? I-I mean, what if I fail him too?”Or

Summary
Deep down, he knows he bears some responsibility. He knows the lawsuit was a step too far, but he didn’t know what else he was supposed to do. Bobby refused to let him back or at least hear him out, and no one else was willing to listen. His medical bills and rent were beginning to stack up, and his department disability pay had stopped when they declared him fit for active duty.
He needed his job, his family.
Now, he has neither.
He has an empty, cold apartment with sparse furniture, rusty, leaky pipes, and a singular window that struggles to keep out the cool night air. His neighbors blare music at all hours of the day. The cold aggravates his leg, the muscles tense beneath his skin, and the music stops him from sleeping — so do the nightmares. Buck’s fridge has been empty for days.
Despite the music that pulses through his apartment, the walls shaking, the silence all but swallows him. It consumes him, chokes him, and he lets it.
****
OR, The fight at the grocery store has unintended consequences for both Buck and Eddie.

Summary
Buck has always been someone who loves physical affection, the reassuring feel of someone's weight against his own. It used to be grounding, and comforting.
Suddenly, now it is nauseating. It’s overwhelming and every touch makes him retreat into his mind.
He’s never been good company to himself.
