    Summary

    "Eddie, honestly, if you're uncomfortable, you don't have to," Buck whispers to him, big blue eyes like that of a kicked puppy's. "Theo's going to have to learn he can't always get what he wants, and—"

    "It's fine," Eddie cuts him off. "It's just a—a kiss, Buck. Not like it's anywhere scandalous, either, it's just your finger."

    Buck's Adam's apple bobs in his throat. "Right. Right, yeah, sorry, it's just—sorry."

    "What are you guys doing!" Theo yells, reaching up to tug the bottom of Eddie's shirt. "KISS HIM!"

    The one where Buck cuts his finger, Theo makes Eddie kiss the boo-boo, and love confessions are confessed.

    Summary

    Eddie ignores Buck’s protests. He finally finds a position that is somewhat comfortable in the armchair and closes his eyes. “Go to sleep, Buck,” he mumbles.

    Giving up the fight, Buck huffs. He turns around in the bed and faces his back to Eddie. Eddie can’t help but peek an eye open to watch how Buck’s shoulders move with every uneasy breath he takes. He’s still shaking slightly, despite the mountains of blankets upon him. Eddie’s stare is unwavering, fearing that if he looks away, Buck could disappear.

    The room settles into silence, only broken by the muffled sounds of their friends down the hallway and the harshness of Buck writhing in the bed. After what must be only a couple of minutes, Buck speaks again.

    “Can you…” he begins, but trails off. “Never mind.”

    “Buck, you can ask me for anything. You know that.”

    Buck hesitates, but eventually he turns over his shoulder to ask in a faint voice, “Can you hold me?”

    OR: Three times Eddie sat by Buck’s bedside, and the one time it was their bed.

    Summary

    No. Whatever it is, no. Eddie would like Buck to stop chasing whatever that thing is. Would like to grab the thought out of Buck’s concussed head and throw it out a window.

    Buck’s face drops into something serious, eyes wide. “You called me baby.”

    There it is. Out the window it did not go.

    “No, I didn’t,” Eddie says.

    Very smooth. Convincing.

    “You did.” Buck points at him, floppy and triumphant. “At the— the thing. With the— you said it. You called me baby.”

    “I didn’t say that.”

    “Eddie.” Buck is delighted. “I heard you. I was concussed, not deaf.”

    “I didn’t call you baby,” Eddie scoffs. “I called you a baby. Because you got a bump on the head and were crying about it.”

    “That’s not—” Buck starts.

    “You were being a baby,” Eddie continues, standing now, because a moving target is harder to hit. “I’m gonna go tell the others you’re awake.”

    “Eddie.”

    “Rest your head, bud.”

    Or,
    Eddie calls Buck baby by accident.

    Summary

    And as ludicrous as it sounds—if this is Buck’s dream, and he’s been here the whole time, and Eddie’s just been, what, popping in each time he’s fallen asleep since Buck was hit?—it really would explain all the random things Eddie’s remembered each time he’s woken up.

    “Okay, let’s pretend I’ve gone temporarily insane and I believe you, that I believe that I keep falling asleep into your dream ever since–ever since you—” Eddie shakes his head, clears his throat. Fuck.

    “I think I can prove it to you, actually,” Buck says.

    “How?”

    Or, the universe screams. Eddie just has to listen.

    Summary

    If you follow the sound of silence throughout this home of history, you will land in the kitchen. You will bear witness to a performance between two men. They are covered in bruises and cuts. One of them winces, and attempts to hide it, every time he moves his arms. The other is laser focused on him, while trying to pretend he’s not. They don’t speak. They barely breathe.

    It’s a dance, a jerky one. Performed nightly on fresh legs. It’s new and unsure, yet old as time itself. To anyone watching, it’s unsettling. To them, it's existing.

    Now lean in and watch. Watch them. See what’s unsaid.

    or

    A quiet dance between Buck and Eddie
