    Summary

    “Tilt your head back,” Eddie says, his voice barely audible over the running water. 

    Buck does as he was told, tilting his head back and closing his eyes to the spray of water dripping onto his face. Eddie’s hands go to Buck’s hair, lightly scratching and massaging his scalp. The familiar smell of his shampoo fills the shower. 

    He relaxes into Eddie’s touch, a small hum escaping his lips as Eddie works the shampoo into his curls with slow, methodical movement. Given the chance, Buck would fall asleep in the shower just from the sensation of Eddie’s fingertips against his head. The touch is light, delicate, intimate in a way he hadn’t expected. The butterflies continue to flutter in his stomach.

    “Enjoying yourself?” 

    “Uh-huh,” Buck says, all other words failing him.

    “Good.” Eddie laughs, moving to wash the shampoo out of Buck’s curls. “You just relax, I’ve got you.”

    Summary

    “How did you get home from the hospital?”

    “Took an uber.”

    “Does Maddie know?” Silence. “Does anyone?” More silence. More of Buck refusing to meet his gaze, staring at the door like he thought he could entice Eddie to leave by the power of suggestion. Well, good fucking luck, Eddie thought. Wild horses, and all that. “Why didn’t you call anyone?” he demanded. “Why didn’t you call me?”

    “I did!” Buck snarled. The momentum of his indignation carried him into a sitting position, and Eddie could see him flinch with the pain of it. His unnaturally stoic front was gone, and something raw and wrenching took its place; it occurred to Eddie that he’d never heard Buck raise his voice before. “I did call you, Eddie! As I was bleeding out on my kitchen floor. You. Didn’t. Answer.”

    The squatter in Buck's attic has a knife. Buck has a bit of a breakdown. Eddie has a plan to make everything right.

    Summary

    "Did you know that pineapple has bromelian in it? It's a protein-digesting enzyme," Buck continues. "That's why your tongue gets itchy and swollen when you eat it. It's technically eating you back."

    "Swollen?"

    or, Buck's allergic to pineapple

    Summary

    Opening his front door to find Buck covered in blood was definitely not how Eddie wanted to start his day. 

    Eddie frowned, “Buck. Tell me you didn’t go shopping on Black Friday.”

    “I didn’t go shopping on Black Friday,” Buck parroted back, still grinning. 

    or, Buck does a nice thing and Eddie feels gooey about it
