Summary
He wants the fish to be beautiful, something he can watch for hours, something that will take up space the way Eddie used to, without even trying. A creature that will grow comfortable in its new home, that will explore and settle and stay.
In the end, he chooses a betta with long, flowing fins, deep blue with streaks of red that catch the light like silk ribbons in water.
Buck loves him.
Loves the way he moves through the water, confident and unhurried. Loves the way he turns toward Buck when he leans in, like maybe he sees him too. Loves knowing that for all the loss and loneliness tangled up inside him, there’s something alive here, something he built a home for with his own hands.
Or; Eddie moves away and Buck spirals, buys a fish, joins the yummy mommies and loses his god damn mind.
