    Summary

    "You're experiencing some phantom pain so just take a few deep breaths with us and try to calm down alright?" The words didn't calm him any better coming from Hen. Weak anger flared in his heart. Hot white pain was encasing his leg, and they wanted him to calm down? How could it be phantom pain when he could feel his crushed leg bone deep?

    "No, I can feel it." Buck argued. "FUCK GET IT OFF."

    Or,

    Buck experiences phantom pain for the first time.

    Summary

    “Hey man,” Eddie says, sliding into the seat next to Buck and pulling him out of his thoughts. “You good? You’ve been staring at that wall for a while now.”

    Buck blinks as he raises his head, caught off guard by Eddie’s concern. Part of him wants to snap at Eddie—tell him to go ask Hen, since they’re so close now. Buck’s jealousy has always had teeth; a beast he doesn’t always know how to control, or how to keep from snapping its jaws at people.

    But right now, it’s overshadowed by the excitement of Eddie looking at him; seeing him. There’s a warmth spreading through his chest, one he hasn’t felt in a little while, and all he can think is more, more, more and look at me, look at me, look at me.

    Keep looking at me. Look at me forever, because when no one looks at me, I feel like a ghost.

    Or: Buck doesn't know how to handle the way everything is changing and it makes him fall back into old habits.

    Summary

    "Did you buy this?"

    "I'd like it to be known I'm feeling very attacked right now."

    "Eddie, I'm being serious. Did you buy this? I need to know where it came from."

    "It came from the store."

    "Dad, what Buck really wants to ask is...are you stealing things from the store?"

    “I’m not stealing anything. They’re giving it to me,” Eddie said, slumping in his chair as he unwrapped another popsicle. “There’s a difference. They give me whatever I want."

    "Who?"

    "My friends."

    “Cool, my dad’s part of a crime ring,” Chris giggled in excitement.

    “Please, Chris. Not right now. I’m worried that your sister is going to be born in prison.”

    Or: Eddie's developed certain cravings during pregnancy. Buck and Chris just wish he wasn't craving a lifestyle of crime.

    Summary

    "Buck turned as soon as he heard it, the unmistakable sound of Eddie losing his footing and tumbling. The firefighter from Boston was right there, elbow out and helmet in his hands, a smug expression painting his face. But Buck didn't have time to pay attention to that. Everything around home slowed and narrowed down to one simple thing. 

    Eddie."

     

    Or, when Eddie gets hurt at the firefighter competition and Buck has to take care of him, maybe they learn a little bit more about what they want...

    Summary

    “I had a nightmare,” Buck admits, shrugging like it’s nothing. “It’s fine. I’m used to it.”
    Eddie’s jaw tightens before he asks: “Why didn't you wake me?”
    Buck clings to his coffee and shakes his head immediately. “No. You were exhausted. We'd had that shift with back-to-back calls.”
    “And?” Eddie raises an eyebrow and sets his mug down. “So what?”
    Buck blinks at him. “So… you needed sleep.”
    Eddie leans forward, forearms on his knees, looking at him like he’s trying to make sure Buck really hears him. “If you have a nightmare, I want you to wake me up. Okay?”
    Buck huffs a soft laugh. “Eddie, it’s not a big-”
    “It is to me.” Eddie reaches out, curls his fingers around Buck’s hand and strokes over the back of it. “You don’t have to handle that alone. I want to be there, that’s kind of the whole point.”

    Buck has learned early to deal with nightmares by himself. Now that he's in a relationship with Eddie he sleeps next to someone who claims to want to be woken up for it. Buck is torn between his habits and hesitant trust.
