    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

    Eddie lets himself break a little, now that the only thing that can keep him upright is here, breathing heavy against his neck. His stomach coils tight, and the heat from Buck warms Eddie up from the inside out. His arms comes around to Buck's shoulders, and he tugs him a little closer.

    When he huffs a breath out against the top of Buck's shoulder, it comes out choked, and Buck whispers something against his neck before he repeats it, louder.

    "Hey, it's okay. We're gonna find him."

    Buck separates them, still holding both of his arms in a death grip, and Eddie looks into his eyes, seeing the fierce conviction behind them before he says it again.

    "We're going to find him."

    Eddie has to believe that. For himself. For his son.

    And for Buck.

    Summary

    Mi media naranja. Half an orange, right? Like—two sides of the same coin, or something. A complementary coupla guys. A little silly, maybe, referring to a grown adult as a piece of fruit, but the sentiment is sweet enough.

    “Hey,” Buck asks the girl beside him. “Um, Alba. She called Rosie ‘mi media naranja’. Like—half an orange? Is that a common saying in Mexico?”

    “Oh, sure,” she nods. “It’s a pretty normal term of endearment. Cheesy as hell, but, well.” She gestures at where Eddie and the two women are sitting. Alba’s holding Rosie’s hand now. “When you’ve known each other that long and fit together that well… it’s just sweet.”

    My most best friend. That’s what Alba said. That’s—well, that’s who Eddie is to him, essentially. And if what Eddie’s missing is a little affection in a language that feels like home, well. Buck can give that to him.
     

    or, buck notices the lack of spanish terms of endearment in eddie’s life since his abuela died. so, he’s armed with what he’s been reliably informed is a totally normal thing to call your buddy. Operation Make My Best Friend Feel Cherished, as he’s named it on a trial basis in the privacy of his own head, is a-go

    Summary

    Eddie thought wearing a bulletproof vest would protect him.

    It’s designed to cover his chest, to prevent any real damage from happening to him. It completely shelters his heart, so no bullet can penetrate such a vital organ and shatter it into pieces. 

    At least, it’s supposed to.

    It doesn’t.

    A sharp crack, a violent whizzing sound, and suddenly Eddie’s ears are ringing.

    Time seems to slow down around him as he staggers backwards, almost as if he’s been shoved back by an unseen force.

    or; The 118 respond to the hostage situation at the grocery store, but this time someone gets hurt.
