Summary
“I’ll come by in the afternoon,” Eddie says. “And I’m sure everyone else will be visiting soon, too.”
Buck lets his head tip back against the pillow, staring up at the ceiling for a beat before shaking his head. “I can’t expect people to keep coming to see me while I just… sit around.” Buck mutters. Then his gaze flicks to Eddie, something weighted in the way he looks at him. “You don’t have to come see me, either.”
Eddie just stares at him, unimpressed.
The thing about Buck is, he gets in his own head too much. Thinks he’s a burden when he isn’t.
It’s a habit Eddie wishes he could break for him.
“Stop being a martyr,” he says and rolls his eyes. “I like spending time with you.”
Something shifts in Buck’s expression, subtle and unguarded. His eyes soften and turn glassy in the dim light, and for a second, Eddie forgets what he was even saying.
Then Buck exhales, small and quiet. “Okay.”
Or; Eddie visits Buck while he’s in the hospital.
