Summary
He barely hears what the doctor says after he answers. Everything after strong donor candidate and positive match gets drowned out by the ringing in his ears.

Summary
Buck goes missing, and Eddie goes crazy.
-----
Eddie came home expecting to step right into Buck’s open arms, to hear the soft gravel of his laugh, to finally fucking breathe for the first time since Chris walked out the front door and Buck held Eddie up with a hand on his shoulder. He expected to show up at Bobby and Athena’s new house tomorrow night for a welcome back party he wasn’t supposed to know of but had already heard about from Buck, Ravi (by accident, since he assumed Buck had already told Eddie), and Denny via Chris (he wanted to ask Chris what games he should bring over). He expected life to go back to normal, to how it used to be.
Instead, all he has is a pit in his stomach and a lump in his throat and a heart beating too fast, even while he’s standing still. He doesn’t panic, but for Buck, he might take up the habit.
“He’ll be okay, Eddie,” Bobby says, and when Eddie just hums noncommittally, he adds, “When have you ever not known him to be fine?”
“You want a list?” Eddie jokes, though he actually does have one, and each bullet point carries an addendum that says Eddie wasn’t there to keep him safe.

Summary
“I’m sorry, Buck. I just can’t.” Eddie looked at Natalia. “Buck thinks you can solve his questions about death because of what you do. He wants someone who understands, to help it make sense. He doesn’t need a groupie, he doesn’t need someone trying to hit a payday from his trauma. If you respect or care for him, you’ll think about that when you’re mining him for research.” He turned to look at Buck. “He may not find anyone who has experienced exactly what he has. But he has people who understand him, and who love him. We want to make sure he doesn’t get hurt again.”
Buck and Eddie go on a double date with Natalia and Marisol. Tempers flare, words are said, a bottle of Patron is consumed, and confessions are made.
