Summary
“Why can’t you stay?” Eddie asked, looking sad and confused and maybe a little panicked. “It’s my last night, Buck. Stay.”
“I can’t.” Buck admitted, the words bursting out before he could stop them. He had to pause and take a breath so he wouldn’t shout or anything. He wasn’t mad at Eddie, just frustrated with the whole … situation. “Sorry. I’m sorry for snapping. I can’t, though. I … look, we don’t process emotional shit the same. We never have. You run from emotions, I bury myself in people so I can slow my brain down enough I understand what’s going on.”
“You’re seriously leaving to get laid?” Eddie asked in confusion.
“Sex isn’t the same for you.” Buck shook his head. “For you, sure, it was probably alright, a good stress relief, but you … sex is different for me. The chemicals that are released in my brain allow me to think more clearly and actually process what the fuck is going on and what I’m feeling about everything else. I know it’s a shitty coping mechanism. I get that. But I need that right now. That close, physical connection to another person, even if I never see them again.”
“What can I do to get you to stay?” Eddie asked, looking on the verge of some sort of breakdown.
