Summary
Years later, Eddie would wonder exactly what the first sign was. If it was the cough or the fatigue. If it was the way that Buck always seemed to be just a little short of breath, or got dizzier than usual when standing up. He wondered if he had recognized the signs then, could he have changed things? Stopped the ticking of the clock, the slipping of the grains of sand into the bottom of the hourglass?
Years later, he would realize that once the symptoms started to show, it was likely already too late.
But that wasn’t what he had been paying attention to. No, Eddie had been focused on what had been simultaneously the easiest and (second) hardest thing he’d ever done: realizing he was in love with Evan Buckley.
Or, how Eddie realizes that Buck is hiding a secret from the 118—one that could fundamentally change everything forever. This is a story about hope and grief, about coming to terms with oneself and learning to accept love, and about what losing someone can look like. This is a story about love, loss, and all the messy things in between.

Summary
“I’m Bobby, by the way.” The man looked at him expectantly, waiting for Evan to answer. Bobby then raised an eyebrow, further trying to prompt an answer out of him. But instead of giving him his name Evan simply muttered “Doesn’t matter.”
“Of course it matters.” Bobby told him, smiling kindly before the pair started walking.
Evan shoved his hands in his pockets, “No, it really doesn’t.”
“Well, is there a nickname I could use instead?”
“Why do you care?” He huffed.
“I need to call you something.”
Evan frowned, no one had ever cared enough for that, but then again the only people he knew were his family and they didn’t care about him, at least not about him as a person. ‘Evan’ was the name of the thing they’d created to keep Daniel alive, and now ‘Evan’ wasn’t needed, he’d been discarded, so he might as well get rid of the name too.
He hesitated for a second before saying “Buck, you can call me Buck.”

Summary
“Yeah, well, we have—moved on.” Eddie’s expression didn’t soften. “You should too, Buck.”
The fight drained out of him.
For the first time since they met, Buck felt like he was staring at a stranger.
“Uh—yeah I get it,” he said finally. “And I really am sorry.”
Without another word, Eddie closed his locker with a soft click. Shouldering his duffle, he moved past Buck.
He watched Eddie’s retreating figure.
If he’d have just stayed quiet, maybe he could have kept pretending that one day, Eddie would forgive him. After that disaster of a conversation, he wasn’t sure he ever would.
Buck stood there, windows forgotten, feeling something he’d known his whole life shift into place.
He’d never thought Eddie would be the one to show him he was right.
