    Summary

    It was getting worse. It was getting worse, and he couldn’t tell anyone. It’s never been bad enough to affect his work, but it was still there. Looming, creeping in the background, threatening to ruin his life. Taunting him for something he had no control over. He couldn’t tell anyone. He loved the 118—his family—but that meant he knew them too well. They would treat him like he’s damaged.

    Summary

    When Tommy leaves Buck outside the restaurant after their first date, neither of them could have imagined what happened next. Neither could Eddie, still inside the restaurant and unaware that it was a date.

    Unfortunately for Buck, his introduction to the physical aspects of being bisexual is violently brutal rather than gentle and loving when he's assaulted in the dark lonely night.

    How will Eddie and Tommy react when they learn what happened - and will Buck be able to move forward from the experience?

    Summary

    Buck goes out drinking after a particularly tragic call and the night takes a turn for the worse when he's targeted and assaulted. Struggling in the aftermath and unsure how to handle it, Buck tries to distance himself from his friends and family, believing that with time he can simply move past it on his own. Eddie notices something is wrong with Buck and desperately tries to get through to his friend, fearing the worst.

    “I heard about what happened yesterday,” Eddie says softly. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there. And that I didn’t know. I should’ve gone out with you, or made you come over, or-”

    “Eddie,” Buck interrupts. “It’s- it’s okay. I just went out drinking. It’s fine.”

    “Drinking alone?”

    “Yeah,” he stammers. “Yeah, alone.”

    “Hey listen, why don’t you come over tonight? We can do a movie night. And… I have something to tell you.”

    “I’m sorry, Eddie,” Buck murmurs, feeling the tears welling up again. “I don’t think I can tonight.”

    “Hey, wait Buck-”

    “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

    Summary

    Buck breathes in. 

    Around him, police and paramedics are speaking in low tones, droning on as they buzz about, itching to get closer to him. To them. He swallows thickly, keeping his eyes locked onto the open front door. 

    Eddie's arms tighten around him. 

    He breathes out. 

     

    (Or, Buck is sexually assaulted. He's not okay, and neither is Eddie.)
