    Summary

    “Gay Michael’s coming over for dinner tonight,” Bobby says conversationally, sliding a bowl of olives over to Buck.

    Buck catches the bowl, and then freezes, eyes widening. “Gay… Michael? Since when do you call Michael Gay Michael?” 

    Ah. Well.

    “It just slipped out,” Bobby admits. “I don’t usually.”

    Buck’s eyebrows furrow, something like quiet devastation falling onto his face. “Cap, are— are you homophobic?”

    At this, Bobby startles. “What? No. Gay Michael is my best friend.” 

    Or: Bobby calls it as he sees it.

    Summary

    Buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “I’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. Really, he doesn’t. The 118 has too many good, kind people for that.

    But every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to Eddie or Bobby or Hen or Chim, he hears Eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.”

    —you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting—

    So each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence.

    Summary

    “I’m really sorry, Eddie,” Buck says, quiet in the stillness. “I really am. I don’t know—I didn’t mean—”

    Eddie holds up a hand to stop him. They’ve already gone over this, multiple times. Buck apologized to him again and again at the park, and sent a whole thread of apologies to Eddie via text while he was waiting at the hospital.

    Buck doesn’t seem to realize that Eddie is all carrot and no stick. He pulled a dick move and fucked up Eddie’s ankle, and all Eddie has wanted to do since getting carted off to the ER is rush to reassure him.

    A 7x04 alternate ending where Eddie goes to Buck’s loft instead of Tommy.
