Summary
"you were too far away," eddie says, smiling, too smug and proud of himself for making buck jump; his stomach rolls, and it's not from sea-sickness; he doesn't know what face he's making, but he's sure it's deranged; he gets flashes of neon lights and oil and rain slick parking lots, and the feeling of being pushed away, and the pancakes start threatening to make a reappearance.
"i was leaving space for jesus," he shoots back, only barely keeping his composure; at least it makes eddie laugh again, even though his heart is beating in his throat, being this close; he wants to be better than this; he feels like the type of person they crack all of those jokes about when he's just brave enough to go to the gsa meetings that are rather ironically held in the chapel on campus; he moves his chair away again, only to get promptly dragged back, the feet of the chair scraping against the metal surface of the deck.
ana coughs, and tommy stares at both of them like he's putting something together that buck would rather he didn't; it's embarrassing enough that maddie knows; if tommy puts it together, he might actually end himself.
