Summary
The first feeling Buck registered upon returning to consciousness was the hand in his. He squeezed it gently, not knowing the extent of his injuries, and Maddie gasped as she squeezed back.
“Buck?”
“Don’t tell Eddie,” he choked out, eyes still closed and mouth dry.
“Buck-”
“Maddie. He’s fixing things with Chris, I don’t want to come between that. I know he’ll come here. ‘m probably fine,” he mumbled, words slurring.
“You shouldn’t even be awake right now.”
“Promise me you won’t tell Eddie.”
“I promise that I won’t tell Eddie,” she agreed.
Buck made a sound of assent before going back under.
“Did he forget I’m his emergency contact?,” Eddie asked once Buck was back asleep, voice clouded with disbelief while Chris poorly concealed his snicker.

Summary
"I want to not feel like this. I want to feel normal. I want to feel like I’m not built wrong.”
“You weren’t.”
“What?”
“Built wrong. You weren’t. Eddie, you’re my best friend. You’re the best guy I know.” Buck is being so sincere. Eddie doesn’t know why it feels like a punch to the gut. “Being … different, it’s okay. You’re allowed to be different. I like you how you are.”
Buck understands him so much, but he doesn’t get this. He sees Eddie on a level no one else ever has, but this thing, it’s hidden so deep Buck’s never even gotten the chance to glance at it, let alone know it.
“I don’t,” Eddie answers, hoping Buck doesn’t make him expand, while also hoping desperately that Buck makes him expand.
“What?”
“I don’t like myself how I am.”
“What-what would you change?” Buck is stepping carefully, like they’re surrounded by landmines, but Buck will always push. He knows it’s what Eddie needs, even if it’s what terrifies Eddie most.
Make me say it out loud, something inside of him says, please, God, at least once, make me say this out loud. Let it exist, even just for a second.

Summary
"You're serious?" Eddie manages, voice quieter than he intends. "I don't- I wouldn't even know what to do, man. Just- hold it there?"
He hears Buck's breath catch even through the crackly line. "Yeah. Or you can, like, roll your hips, grind against it. Or you can ... do little rotations with your wrist." A pause. A lengthy, pregnant pause that should indicate that Buck is about to say something insane that shatters Eddie's world, but Eddie's apparently naive enough to think this is still at least a semi-normal conversation until Buck says, "I could show you."
Eddie's stomach does a somersault, heart suddenly thundering so loud he can barely hear himself think. "What?" He croaks out.
"I could show you, it's - it's… not a big deal. It doesn't have to be." He's not sure which one of them Buck is trying to convince with that. "Just... a guy showing another guy how to get off."
or: Eddie is struggling to keep up with his sex drive after starting T. If only someone else could lend a helping hand.

Summary
"I am a soldier. Or I was, once."
The mermaid confesses it like he’s ashamed, his voice quiet in Buck’s brain, softer than it’s been so far.
“Not anymore?” He asks, because how could he not? He has so many questions, ones that he’s not sure he’ll even ever have the time to ask.
Eddie didn’t answer right away. He simply looked at Buck, eyes dark and unreadable behind the distorted glass. Then he raised one hand and pressed his fingers against the barrier between them, the tips of them ghosting over the surface like he was remembering how it felt to touch something real. He tapped once. Then again.
Tink, tink.
The sound was delicate, but it echoed like a bell in Buck’s head.

Summary
“And you’re gonna do that, where? At the 133?” Buck avoids his gaze. “Or you’re just transferring to a random station where nobody knows you and you can pretend you’re fine?”
“I’m going to the 217,” Buck finally says.
“You’re…” Eddie starts, then scrunches up his nose in confusion. “Why would you even want to–”
Oh no.
Oh hell no.
“Are you fucking serious right now?”
Buck doesn’t say anything, doesn’t even look at him.
“Buck.”
“What.”
Breathe, breathe, brea-
“No, no fucking what. You know exactly what.”
