    Summary

    They eat. They talk. They laugh. It’s all the same, but the picture they assemble out of the pieces this time turns out different.
    Eddie smiles around a mouthful of his burger, his eyes not leaving Buck’s face for a second. Buck’s knee is pressed warm between his own, while his other leg, the one that never really forgot the crushing weight of the ladder truck, is stretched out under the table, claiming space, unapologetic.
    Buck catches a drop of sauce sliding down his chin and licks it off his finger, not breaking eye contact. 
    Eddie has that sudden, vivid urge to grab Buck’s wrist, pull his hand to his mouth, clean it for him instead – and the thought itself isn’t what surprises him. It’s the fact that for the first time in his life it doesn’t send him scrambling for cover. It just… sits there. Simple. Allowed.


    Or,
    Life finally hands you everything you ever wanted – start looking for a catch.
