    Summary

    He just doesn’t understand.
    He supposes it’s been a long time since he and the team really talked – what was it, 10, 11 months now? – and even though things had felt like they were getting better, it’s still kind of hard to suddenly say “oh, yeah, I’m married by the way?” and harder still to add “also, I’m a Dad?”
    So it had kind of just lingered, time stretching further and further. But it wasn’t like he’d been hiding it either – that’s what he doesn’t understand.
    He’s talked enough about Jay and the twins – wasn’t that why Eddie had blown up at him in the first place? – has filed the paperwork, even changed the name on his turnout.
    Now he knows they just don’t look at him anymore, don’t listen, and… he gets it.
    He does.
    He knows he’s exhausting sometimes.

    Summary

    Post-Lawsuit. Bobby transfers Buck to a different shift under Captain Simmons. He tells himself that it’s for both of them. He’s still hurt, but he also knows that he can’t keep a clear head when it comes to Buck; that he cares about him too much. Only, for the rest of the team it further punctuates their own feelings, and widens the chasm between them and Buck. For Buck, seeing Bosko in his place hurts more than words can describe, yet a week off in Chicago with his brother gives him a lot more than he ever thought he deserved. When tragedy strikes, can apologies be made and rifts healed?

    Summary

    Buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “I’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. Really, he doesn’t. The 118 has too many good, kind people for that.

    But every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to Eddie or Bobby or Hen or Chim, he hears Eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.”

    —you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting—

    So each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence.
