Summary
Buck is pliant, both of Eddie’s hands on his neck now. His pulse thrums with every gush of blood. It’s so warm and Eddie feels so nauseous, suddenly.
But Buck is just looking at him. Just looking. “Eddie,” he says. “It’s— I think I’m okay.”
or: the malfunctioning robot cuts buck with a scalpel, but eddie is the one to spiral about it.

Summary
“I feel fucking explosive, Buck. Like I’m about to go off at any second. I don’t want you caught in my mess.”
His eyes sting. At the very least, Buck contains the sound of it in his voice. “Eddie, I don’t know if you’ve noticed,” he replies, “but I already am.”
Eddie self-implodes. Christopher, seeking refuge, flees to Buck—whose priorities amount to, in varying order: take in the kid, get Eddie to talk to him, and keep the three of them afloat in the process. (Oh, and Tommy’s there too. He thinks.)

Summary
“Tommy didn’t give you that hickey?”
“It was,” Buck doesn’t understand why it is so surprising to her. This is not something uncommon, people give other people hickeys all the time. “Eddie.”
“Are you and Eddie together?”
“What? No, Eddie’s my best friend.” And why would Maddie think that?
Or: Buck and Eddie's friendship is a little different than "normal".
