Summary
“I’m still mad at you,” Buck says, when they’re finally forced together in the line. He’s standing so close to Eddie, breath a warm whisper in Eddie’s ear. Eddie shivers. “I’m—I’m so fucking mad, but. I—I can’t let you go back there alone. Either of you. I—I can’t lose you both to Texas again. I won’t.”
Oh. Oh.
Eddie’s eyes burn. He leans back, his shoulders brushing Buck’s chest—needing Buck’s touch something fierce. “You’re not,” Eddie promises, voice cracking. Christopher’s lost in his phone, but Eddie still keeps his voice soft—a secret, all for them. “Buck. You’re not. I was always going to come back home.”
To you, goes unsaid but Eddie feels it all the same. Buck feels it too, inhaling sharply.
“Okay,” Buck whispers. “Okay.”
or, eddie realises he hasn't been alone, not for the longest time.
