Chapter Text
Ever since struck by lightning, Buck is afraid of storms. Well, maybe it's more the fear of waking up in his coma dream again. Scared of nothing being real and terrified of losing his family again and again.
He never told anyone just how scared he is. And when he hears thunder and scootches a bit closer to Hen on the couch, or when every time he sees lightning outside, he sends Bobby a text just to make sure he responds, then its Bucks thing; nobody needs to know that.
But Tommy notices... Not at first, but with time he notices Evan texting him a heart every time there is a storm outside. Or he hears him mumbling in his sleep when the night is spiked with thunder.
And when Tommy wakes up in a stormy night and cuddles a bit closer to Evan, stroking his hair until the mumbling turns into a relieved sight, or when he is making sure to call him a bit more often during a stormy shift, then it's Tommy's thing... Nobody has to know; Tommy is just glad he didn't lose Evan before he even got to love him.
