    Summary

    He's stuck. Pinned beneath a slab of concrete that feels like it weighs more than a truck. His radio is crushed somewhere under the wreckage—he can’t reach it, can’t even turn his head far enough to check. His chest rises in shallow, ragged gasps, each breath harder than the last. The air’s thick with dust, choking, dry. It scrapes at his throat like sandpaper, and he can feel the panic starting to creep in, tight and hot in his chest.

    ---
    Or, debris topples on top of Buck after saving Bobby. No one notices. Not for a few hours.

    Summary

    Day twenty-three, change of tactics.

    I feel like you both are being dumb.

    Dad unfolds this one and reads it and stops and reads it again like he's hoping the words will rearrange themselves into something less insulting.

    "Excuse me?"

    "It's my feeling." Chris spears a dumpling with his chopsticks. "You can't argue with my feeling, that's not how therapy works."

    "I can ask for clarification on what you mean."

    "Clarification about what? It's very clear. You—" he points at Dad, "both—" he swings to point at Buck, "dumb. Three words. Simple sentence structure. I learned about that in English class."

    Or,
    Chris weaponizes his therapy homework to make his emotionally constipated dad admit he's in love with Buck.

    Summary

    “It just—when we were at the club. You made it seem like maybe, there’s a reason you’re not dating… women.”

    Eddie freezes. Ravi had said it the other night, but Eddie had not been expecting him to so boldly repeat it after the previous unfavorable reaction.

    “And—I—I know that sometimes reasons for not dating women can be… um, you know, hard to process. Alone.”

    Oh good lord, he’s really going there.

    Summary

    "Please tell me you aren't seriously apologizing to me for crying right now."

    Buck swallows and ducks his head, suddenly sheepish. Half a moment later, a warm, solid weight materializes on his shoulder. Eddie's palm radiates heat through the thick fabric of Buck's sweater. It's instantly grounding.

    "You're allowed to cry, Buck," Eddie says quietly. "We've been through a lot today."

    "It's not fair when we're arguing," Buck mumbles, refusing to look up.

    Eddie sighs, his grip on Buck's shoulder tightens, his thumb pressing in against Buck's collarbone. "We're best friends. You never have to pretend with me."

    ~

    or, after the intervention and going to the hospital with Hen, Buck and Eddie return home to have a long overdue conversation.

    Summary

    “Would you fire me?” Eddie follows up, because now he’s burning with desire to know. “If you were captain and I pulled something like that?”

    “I would never fire you.”

    “Why not?” Eddie folds his arms and quirks an eyebrow. “What about the chain of comm—”

    “If you say chain of command, I will crash the car,” Buck interjects.

    908 coda. Eddie stops keeping some secrets of his own, he and Buck talk, and Eddie discovers that fear may very well be the thief of joy.
