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.

Summary
When Buck's proposal plans get thwarted, he's frustrated and mad, and takes it out on the nearest target - Tommy. Buck knows he's fucking up, but he can't seem to stop.
Tommy's confused about Evan's avoidance and sour moods, and does what he can to make things better. When nothing seems to help, Tommy gets pissy too.
Spoiler alert, they work things out.

Summary
The drive back to the station was short, but much rougher than the ride out. Buck felt like his brain had been shaken loose and was rattling around in his skull. He leaned against the window to try to stop the pounding in his head. He didn’t deserve to feel this upset over Chris. He wasn’t Chris’ father. And anyway, Christopher was fine! Everyone was fine. Nothing had really happened, in the end, except a dead phone battery and a little good old-fashioned teenage rebellion.
The constant jostling was messing with his stomach, too. He could feel every bump and swerve in his gut, roiling and churning with mounting intensity. Cold sweat pricked at his skin.
Eddie definitely didn’t want Buck to come over, or he would have said so. Buck had gotten used to thinking of Eddie and Chris as his family, but they hadn’t been like that in months, had they? No, longer. Not since Chris left for Texas, really. It had been too long, it was too late. Bile rose in his throat and he choked it back down.
OR: Buck definitely does not have the flu, he’s just sad about Eddie and Chris
