Summary
Buck scoots down and snuggles into the pillows, his lips still stretched in a tiny smile that makes Eddie’s heart flip for a whole different reason. “No, I’m okay. Thank you. But, uhm –”
“What is it?”
“Would you maybe sit with me for a little longer?”
Eddie makes a gentle sound in the back of his throat and immediately lowers his body into the chair he and Chim dragged into the bedroom a few days ago. “You don’t even have to ask, Buck. I’ll be here. You can go to sleep.”
“Thanks, Eds,” Buck says again, his voice breathy as his lashes flutter softly before he promptly falls asleep.
Sleep has been a rare occasion for Buck lately, the withdrawals making him sick and achy and despite the bone-deep exhaustion also restless and oftentimes too anxious to sleep. So, whenever he manages to get a few hours, Eddie and the others watch over him in sheer relief.
Or a 9x15 coda in which Eddie worries, watches over Buck, and stays the night.
