    Summary

    "D'you know Eddie?" Buck asks. His eyes are huge and earnest. It's not often these days that Eddie gets to see him this unguarded. Just needed to get him stoned out of his mind on painkillers, apparently. He's probably got a prescription in that stack of papers Eddie took. Maybe Eddie can run out and fill it for him while he sleeps. "He's my best—my best friend."

    Eddie's heart does something traitorously squishy that he hopes doesn't show on his face. "Feeling's mutual, bud. Come on, lie down, sleep it off for a little bit, okay?"

    -

    Or: Buck confesses something he doesn't mean to while on painkillers. Eddie spirals about it.

    Summary

    There had to be a way to make it work. Christopher was busy all the time these days with his friends and activities, and the thought of an increasingly empty house was unbearable. Sure, it wasn't like Eddie didn't have hobbies, but at the end of the day he was a nester. He nested.

    Summary

    “My, uh. My dad’s had a heart attack,” he says, sort of like it hasn’t sunk in yet, “He’s still in the hospital, it was. It was pretty bad, I think.”

    “I’m sorry, Buck,” says Chris, “Is he going to be okay?”

    “I don’t know,” says Buck, “She wasn't. It wasn’t clear, it was, she was. She wants me to go.”

    “Do you want to?” Eddie asks, quiet, and Buck’s eyes snap back to him.

    “Eddie,” he says, wretched, “She wants me to help. She wants me. She wants me.”
    ----

    Or, Philip Buckley has a heart attack, and Buck, Eddie, and Chris all fly to Hershey. What else are best friends for?
