  4. Summary

    These were all written as standalones, but as I got prompted to continue they ended up building on each other. Marking as a series so they're easier to find/follow (since they were not originally written in chronological order).

    Summary

    Because here’s the thing about Buck. The thing about Buck is that he likes simple sentences. Easy to follow instructions. When, where, what, how. Buck is smart, of course, and he can understand and infer and deduct from context clues and body language. Technically. Technically, he can do these things. But he prefers not to. He doesn’t like to guess. He doesn’t like to guess, because guessing makes him nervous. And Buck hates being nervous. Doesn’t everyone?

     

    But Buck hates it more than most. Buck likes reassurance, he likes knowing things for certain. Because if he doesn’t know for certain, he’ll stress and he’ll ruminate and he’ll twist himself inside out and backwards wondering and worrying and assuming the worst. And when Buck assumes the worst, he makes terrible decisions. So it’s just easier this way. It’s easier to cut the middle man and for Eddie to decide things for Buck.

    Summary

    It was all just too much. He’d gotten maybe three hours of sleep in the last 48 hours, his whole body hurt, and he was just so overwhelmed that he couldn’t think straight.

    “Good boy.”

    A thumb brushed softly across his bottom lip and Buck just—

    He closed his eyes, leaned forward, and sucked Eddie’s thumb gently into his mouth.

    or

    Buck has an oral fixation and lots of complicated feelings. Luckily, he also has Eddie.

    Summary

    “Are you homophobic?”

    “What?”

    “Will you be my boyfriend?”

    “Yes,” Eddie answered, automatically, even though his mind had volunteered several other pressing questions, like what are you talking about and what is happening and did I recently sustain brain damage.

    “Thanks,” said Buckley, and then he pushed Eddie back against the side of the firetruck and kissed him.

    Summary

    “I just—I don’t want you to be alone,” said Eddie, softly, like an admission.

    Join the fucking club, Buck thought. It was funny, but none of his laughs were coming out right tonight. “I am alone, Eddie.”

    “Buck, I—”

    “She wants my kidney.” There it went; Buck never could keep anything inside. Could never keep the feelings contained, could never stop them from spilling out over the people nearest him. “That’s what fucking happened, okay? My dad needs a kidney donor and they remembered why they bothered having me in the first place. Is that what you wanted to hear? That my parents finally found a use for me after all these years?”

    A request from his mom tears open old wounds for Buck. From 800 miles away, Eddie tries to stitch him back together.

    Summary

    Oh, fuck him, did he almost sleep with a serial killer? Distantly, he thought, Hen and Chim are never going to let me live this down. And then he thought, I might not live at all.

    -----

    Buck is having a hard time dealing with Eddie's impending move to El Paso and resorts to some Buck 1.0-style coping mechanisms. Unfortunately for everybody, this backfires in spectacular fashion.

    Especially for Eddie, who waited until now to realize he was in love with his best friend.

    OR: Buck and Maddie get kidnapped. Eddie spirals.
