    Summary

    He realizes it right before everything goes to shit. He’s just standing there in the loft and Eddie’s handing him Christopher’s backpack and talking about “he’s not that fast” and “order pizza” and Buck sort of stares at him—partly in shock, partly in reverence—and he thinks "I love you." He shoves it down immediately, of course, as far down as it’ll go, but the fact of the matter is, it’s there somewhere, floating around inside of him. He can’t get rid of it now.

    Not that it matters all that much, though, because there’s the whole quitting thing and the lawsuit thing and the argument in the grocery store and by the time he’s given his (re)start date he knows; he well and truly fucked up.

     
    or: another classic post-lawsuit fic. Angst, hurt, some comfort, more angst, more comfort.

    Summary

    Eddie blinks up at him, another moan of pain breaking free as Buck shifts his grip. The blood is pooling on the ground underneath them, spilling out around Eddie’s head like a gruesome halo. It’s spreading down to stain both of their shirts, painting everything it touches with a reminder of violence. Pressure is not working, he has to try something else.

    Summary

    “I’m not leaving you, Buck.” Eddie says with a tired sigh, like he’s struggling with the weight of the world and Buck’s the one who put it there. “Just switching jobs, that’s all.”

    That’s all?, Buck wants to scream, because every relationship he has is tied to the job in some way, and first Maddie left, and then it was Chimney, and now it’s Eddie. But he doesn’t scream, because that would be a little bit too tragic, even for him, and nods instead. Bites his tongue. Pretends that he isn't falling apart where he's stood.

    ***

    Or, set post season 5A, where Buck is alone, and angry, and exhausted, but mostly terrified that everyone he loves is slowly slipping away from him.

    **rated mature for heavy themes**

    Summary

    It's the smoke that wakes him, seeping into his apartment not ten minutes after he finally knocks off.

    He's off the couch in half a second, heart pounding with adrenaline, at the kitchen counter before he even realizes that the familiar smell in his nose is burning insulation.

    There isn't any alarm going, no sprinklers on, no neighbors screaming or doors banging open, but Buck knows.

    "9-1-1," says a vaguely familiar voice on the other end of the phone once he punches in the numbers. "What's your emergency?"

    Summary

    “How’re you really feeling?” Eddie asks.

    Buck sighs, tips his head back against the pillow. “Sore. Shitty. Kind of hungry.”

    “They have mediocre applesauce. I’ll get you some.”

    Buck’s hand clamps around Eddie’s wrist so fast Eddie doesn’t see it move. “Don’t leave.” His voice is small, tight, and it burrows between Eddie’s ribs.
