    Summary

    There's an insistent tapping on Buck's face, and Buck's eyes drift open back up towards-

    "Eddie," he says, maybe slurring through his name. It doesn't feel right, as if the words are buffering somewhere between his brain and mouth. 

    "Eyes on me," Eddie says, except it splits somewhere down the middle. 

    He has a determined look on his face, the one he wears when he's trying to make sense of a bad call, mouth set and ticked down at the corner. Buck knows that look as surely as he knows how to breathe, the same way his heart knows how to beat. Eddie is gravity, the pull at the center of Buck's world, and even now, when Buck can't find his footing, he can't help but be drawn toward him. 

    Behind Eddie's eyes, Buck sees fear. 

    -

    On the way to a routine call, the 118 engine is involved in a major lateral impact collision. It's confronting for Buck and Eddie, in more ways than one.

    Summary

    Buck swipes his tongue over his blood-splattered lips, the metallic taste lingering on his tongue. Something sharp pinches the back of his hand, and he waits for the familiar, almost comforting sensation of pain medication to begin to flood through his veins.

    The pain begins to recede to a more welcoming ache, though it continues to ripple across his pelvis in small waves. Buck’s body slumps against the rubble as the last of the adrenaline begins to leave his body. His vision swims in and out of focus, but one constant thought manages to break through the fog.

    Eddie.

    He needs them to know.

    OR Buck gets hurt when Eddie's in Texas and makes everyone promise not to tell him.

    Summary

    Evan Buckley was out, and proud. He has his first boyfriend, Tommy Kinard. He couldn’t have been more happy. Or at least, that should’ve been the case.

    Eddie Diaz has always been able to read his best friend like an open book. Not that Buck made it obvious; Eddie just knew him on a level no one else understood. So when Buck starts changing after getting together with Tommy, Eddie is immediately suspicious. But no one else seems to notice; so what if he’s just making it all up? Maybe he was. or maybe, he just wanted Buck for himself.

    But Eddie swears that there is definitely something wrong there.

    And he is determined to find out what it is.
