    Summary

    He’d taken a bad fall. 

    He was fine. 

    He’d be fine. At home. In his own bed. Alone. 

    But as always, the universe had no problems mocking him when he was down. 

    Tommy had glanced up when he heard the scuff of boots at the door, his jaw clenching as the move made the nausea churn in his gut at the same time the throbbing ache in his spine pulsed in time with his heartbeat. The same heartbeat that skipped at the sight of him. 

    “Hey!” Tommy croaked because apparently that was what his voice did now. 

    Evan looked good.

    “Hi,” Evan said, quiet and simple. 

    Tommy has a near death experience and nothing says healing quite like being taken care of by your ex you never got over.

    Summary

    “You know, I never saw these,” Buck says, trying to sound light.

    “You've been missing out,” Tommy says, blinking and turning a little in his seat so he's facing Buck more directly. “How—”

    “I didn't know you'd be here,” Buck admits. “Is it okay?”

    Tommy nods slowly, sliding his phone into his pocket. “Yeah, of course. How've you been?”

    Buck winces and throws a couple of kernals of popcorn into his mouth. “Okay, I guess? Actually not. I don't know, it's—I’m fine.”

    “Uh-huh,” Tommy says slowly, clearly not believing him. “Why don't you get back to me about that in a few hours?”

    “Okay,” Buck says, holding the popcorn bucket toward him. “We can share.”

    “Okay,” Tommy agrees, grabbing a couple pieces.

    --

    Buck decides to go to the movies and sees Tommy there.

    Summary

    “Thanks,” Tommy says softly, taking the records. “Sorry.”

    “You keep saying that, but I don't know why,” Buck says, aiming for teasing and just sounding as concerned as he feels.

    Tommy's lips press together, and he blinks right before his eyes get shiny. “My father died last week.”

    Buck remembers the shocked, numb feeling that followed him for days after Bobby died. Weeks, really. But he knows Tommy had a complicated relationship with his dad, even though he rarely talked about it. Just like they rarely talked about anything.

    “I'm sorry,” he says, even though it feels insufficient. “Did you eat today?”

    --

    Buck runs into Tommy and helps him navigate the complications of grief and final arrangements.

    Summary

    Ravi's eyes flutter closed again, but he didn't tell him to go away, so Buck keeps talking. "I, uh, went viral."

    That does the trick, Ravi's eyes opening again, this time sparkling with curiosity. "Viral?"

    Buck hums. "On Reddit. I made a fake account and uh…" His hand comes up to scratch at his neck, that humiliation making a hasty return. It's not his finest moment. He winces, blurting his crime out. "Posted on relationship advice."

    Ravi's mouth drops open, and he sits up, his precious sleep long forgotten. "About Tommy?"

    "Yeah," Buck confirms grimly. "The last time I checked, there were almost fifteen hundred comments."

    —————
    or: the one where Buck asks Reddit for help, gets really into fish, and tries, fails, and tries some more to get over Tommy.
