Summary
Buck can’t look away. It's a sick joke, how unnatural, how horrible the sight is, but he can’t bring himself to look away. He thinks he pushes Harry out of the way, needing a better view. Shoves Ravi aside to stand in the front row. A barricade spot for death.
Buck almost laughs at the sight. He feels it bubbling up his throat, threatening to explode out of him. He wants to laugh in some weird, delirious relief because that can’t be Eddie. Not his Eddie. This is… whoever this is, is not Eddie. Eddie is full of life. Eddie is warmth and sunlight and tanned skin. Eddie is flushed cheeks, a small blush working its way across his face at any compliment. Eddie is sparkling, shining eyes, crinkling around the corners, watching Buck inevitably make a fool of himself.
That is Eddie.
Or, what if the elevator opened and Eddie didn't wake up? Sort of 9x18 fix it (depends on what you define as fixing) for Buck’s reaction and the aftermath.
