    Summary

    Eddie reached out and gently lifted Buck’s chin to make sure their eyes met as he asked, “Buck, what were you dreaming about?”

    At first, Buck stayed completely still. Eddie could see him working through how much he wanted to reveal. “Please,” Eddie pleaded quietly. “Please tell me.”

    After letting out a deep sigh, Buck shifted and sat up next to Eddie, their arms and thighs touching. “They had me tied up in that shed, and I…” Buck shook his head. “You were looking for me. I could hear you calling, and Bonnie… They were going to hurt you. I couldn’t let them hurt you.”

    Eddie froze, trying to process what Buck was saying. “You… you were going to stay? For me?”

    Buck’s voice came out thick with emotion as he responded in a whisper, “For you. For Chris.” He took in a long, shaky breath. “I remember thinking that would be the last time I’d ever hear your voice.”

    __

    Eddie discovers more about what happened during Buck's captivity, leading to them finally becoming what they were always meant to be.

    Summary

    “His shirt’s on inside out,” Josh commented to Linda. Eddie opened the door to the breakroom and tried to let it close behind him, but that did not deter either of his colleagues. “Is this a walk of shame?”

    “Well, I am walking,” Eddie confirmed, rounding the counter and beelining to the empty coffee pot. “And full of shame.”

    “What happened?”

    “I stood him up,” he answered, shortly.

    After what was probably a very involved silent conversation between Linda and Josh, Josh said, “Eddie, if you aren’t ready, I’m sure he’d understand.”

    “I am ready,” he said, detaching the water reservoir with more force than necessary. “I didn’t do it on purpose.”

    Summary

    It’s such a small act, but it’s got Buck’s heart racing. The way Eddie thinks of him when he isn’t even here, the way he knows all of Buck’s favourites without even having to ask.

    Buck swallows the lump in his throat and it tastes a lot like I love you.

     

    (Or, five silent acts of love, and one very, very loud one.)

    Summary

    “It’s weird,” Harry said.

    May turned to look at him from her spot on their mom’s couch and took the offered bowl of popcorn.

    “What is?”

    “Just, the 118. Like, okay, that first week when Chim was putting more bubble wrap around me than even mom, I didn’t really notice it. Buck kept trying to include me in stuff and show me things and I just didn’t realize that no one else was actually helping him with those things. Or even…well, paying attention to him. And Chim…he’s like constantly making comments about Buck.”

    -

    Or, Harry joins the 118 and it is very aparent that things are a little weird with Buck.
