    Summary

    “It was almost you,” He finds himself saying, eyes still closed, mind caught on a frozen image. A still frame of Eddie’s eyes on him, a line of blood running between his eyes.

    He hears Eddie’s surprised inhale and turns his head lazily, blinking at him. Watching the weight of the words sink into him.

    Eddie frowns, shuffling to turn towards him fully. “What?”

    The corners of Buck’s mouth rise, wry and bittersweet and trembling. “You were standing next to him,” he offers, voice cracking. “It was almost you.” He pauses, turns his gaze back to the ceiling and exhales slowly. “Again.”

    Eddie goes still, body tensed and frozen, and Buck closes his eyes again.

    --

    Or, the call with the space debris triggers the memory of Eddie getting shot.
