    Summary

    The thing about Eddie and Hen bonding is that he might not want to admit it, but Buck’s jealous. He’s achingly and overwhelmingly jealous. He’s jealous of Eddie.

    He knows how it sounds, he knows what people think. He hasn’t even tried to raise it with Maddie, because she’d laugh at him and she wouldn’t believe him, and she’d ask if he was sure he wasn’t jealous of Hen. It really isn’t that.

    Hen is special. Hen’s always been there for him, always been a steady and constant support like no one else.

    The thing that no one seems to understand is that he lost Eddie months ago.

    Episode tag to 9x5 Día de los Muertos, in which Buck really truly is jealous of Eddie, not Hen.

    Summary

    Maddie peers further in the box. “You said something about videos?” She asks, taking some items out of the box.

    “Yeah!” Albert says, digging further in. “There are videos in here. We didn’t watch them that night, didn’t get that far in the box. Buck had an early shift the next day.” Albert pulls out a handful of disks. “I have no idea what’s on them.”

    “Sex tape.” Chimney and Hen say at the same time.

    “Ugh, why do you have to ruin this?”

    After a call leaves Buck presumed missing, the 118 gather in his loft to find comfort together. They didn't know that comfort would be in the form of a falling apart box, filled with videos of his time traveling the country, trying to find his home. A 'Buck Begins Again' no one asked for.

    Summary

    He wants to tell Eddie everything, he wants to tell him that he’s struggling, that he can’t sleep without being plagued with nightmare after nightmare. He wants to tell him that the worst ones are when Eddie’s lying on the road reaching out towards him and he’s just stuck watching, when he can taste Eddie’s blood on his tongue, feel it splattered across his face. He wants to tell him that when he wakes up the blood is still there, so he throws up in the toilet until the taste of copper is forced out of his mouth and he washes his face 10 times until he’s sure there’s not a drop of blood left.

    He just wants to tell him a random fact that he found out at 3 am when he went down the rabbit hole starting with the world's tallest skyscrapers and ending with the knowledge that most elevator close door buttons don’t actually work. But now he looks at Eddie and he just can’t help but think that he’s being a burden, that Eddie got shot and shouldn’t have to deal with him too.

    So instead, he runs.

     

    (Or Buck has years of unresolved trauma and can't sleep, so he tries to literally outrun his demons instead. Luckily Eddie is there to pick up the pieces when he finally breaks.)
