Summary
Buck looks at him like he’s the whole damn horizon, and it’s the kind of exposure Eddie’s spent a lifetime wanting and dodging in equal measure.
“Don’t stare,” he mutters, forearm thrown over his face, like that could hide the flush clawing up his cheeks.
Buck’s laughter is soft, delighted.
“Try and stop me.”His palms slide up Eddie’s thighs. The heat follows, tethered to every place he touches. He settles between Eddie’s legs like he owns the place, palms dragging up, up, up, until Eddie’s stomach jumps under the touch.
“You think I’m looking away from this? Not a chance.” Buck says, his voice warm, smug, boyish. “Gonna stare all I want. Gonna touch you. Kiss you.”
Eddie risks a peek down.
Realizes right away it’s a mistake.
Huge mistake.Or: Buck turns a simple hand job into an emotionally life-altering event and Eddie has no defenses prepared.

Summary
Buck swipes his tongue over his blood-splattered lips, the metallic taste lingering on his tongue. Something sharp pinches the back of his hand, and he waits for the familiar, almost comforting sensation of pain medication to begin to flood through his veins.
The pain begins to recede to a more welcoming ache, though it continues to ripple across his pelvis in small waves. Buck’s body slumps against the rubble as the last of the adrenaline begins to leave his body. His vision swims in and out of focus, but one constant thought manages to break through the fog.
Eddie.
He needs them to know.

Summary
Buck’s breath caught in his throat.
He tugged at the rope around his wrists, twisting and contorting himself in an attempt to wrench himself out of the restraints. The rope burned against his skin. Buck wasn’t sure if it was sweat or water running down his face, but he didn’t care. He needed to get out of the rope.
The more he struggled, the more the rope cut into his skin until the burning sensation on his wrists rivaled that of the throbbing in his head.
“That’s not going to work,” a soft, familiar voice said behind him.
Buck’s blood ran cold. “Chase?”
“Nice to see you, Buckley.” Footsteps echoed around him until Chase Mackey’s smug face appeared before him. “I have to say, you’ve looked better.”
“What’s going on?” Buck tugged against the restraints. “Where am I?”
“We’re going to play a game.” Mackey reached into the front pocket of his suit — did he only own suits? — and pulled something out.
Buck’s phone.

OR After Buck drops the lawsuit, Mackey comes looking for revenge.

Summary
Deep down, he knows he bears some responsibility. He knows the lawsuit was a step too far, but he didn’t know what else he was supposed to do. Bobby refused to let him back or at least hear him out, and no one else was willing to listen. His medical bills and rent were beginning to stack up, and his department disability pay had stopped when they declared him fit for active duty.
He needed his job, his family.
Now, he has neither.
He has an empty, cold apartment with sparse furniture, rusty, leaky pipes, and a singular window that struggles to keep out the cool night air. His neighbors blare music at all hours of the day. The cold aggravates his leg, the muscles tense beneath his skin, and the music stops him from sleeping — so do the nightmares. Buck’s fridge has been empty for days.
Despite the music that pulses through his apartment, the walls shaking, the silence all but swallows him. It consumes him, chokes him, and he lets it.
