    Summary

    Eddie’s been in Texas for about two and a half months when Buck answers an incoming video call with a grin on his face, one that quickly falls when he sees the look on Eddie’s.

    His eyebrows are scrunched together, lips pursed as he chews on the inside of his cheek. He looks anxious – scared, almost, and Buck’s internal Eddie Alarms are screaming.

    “Hey, Eds, everything okay?” He asks immediately, leaning forward in the kitchen seat where he’d sat to prop his tablet up.

    “Huh? Yeah, yeah, no, everything’s fine, everybody’s alright, just-” He pauses, shrugging his shoulders, but it doesn’t ease any of the tension from his frame.

    “Just?” Buck prompts when Eddie doesn’t continue.

    “I think- there might-” He trails off again with a groan, rubbing his eyes roughly with his fingertips.

    “Okay, you’re starting to scare me, Eddie.” Buck is already mentally calculating how to fit a plane ticket into his budget for this week, committed to cutting down on his takeout budget and maybe cancelling a few subscriptions, but Eddie shakes his head.

     

    Or: A few months after Eddie moves to Texas, he and Buck share a revelatory phone call.

    Summary

    As the wave recedes, Buck staggers through knee-deep water searching for Christopher.
    Across town, Eddie helps the 118 with search and rescue, and tries to convince himself that his son and the love of his life his best friend are perfectly safe.

     

    Buck makes a phone call. Eddie answers.

    (What would have happened if Buck had called Eddie instead of Maddie once he reached the field hospital, post-tsunami.)

    Summary

    Somehow, Eddie’s heartbeat rises up even faster and he takes notice of the way his fingers are shaking only once he’s holding the piece of paper between them.

    Eddie

    He’d recognize this writing anywhere. Eddie opens the paper.

    Gone for the summer, please look after my stuff at the door. I’ll get them when I come back.
    Need some time off, please don’t come looking for me. I’m safe. I’ll be back before school starts.

    love you.
    buck

    It’s not good enough for him. Eddie picks up his phone

     

    OR : buck can't cope with Bobby's death and run away. Eddie, of course, runs after him.

    Summary

    Eddie has always been drawn to Buck’s hands. There’s something magnetic about them. Strong but gentle, like they could protect you, and hold you at the same time. Eddie finds himself watching them sometimes, like when Buck’s fiddling with a tool or tying a knot. They seem so capable, so sure of what they're doing. It’s like his hands have their own language, one that Eddie doesn’t always understand but is drawn to.

    or:

    Summary: 5 times Eddie holds Buck’s hands and 1 last time he does.
