“I’m not gonna disappear, you know,” Eddie says, lowering his mug to meet Buck’s eyes.
“W-what?” Buck stammers, blinking away like he got caught doing something wrong.
“You keep staring,” Eddie says, carefully, “like I'm gonna vanish. Or go back to Texas without telling you or something. I'm not.”
It’s been hours since Buck met him at the airport, drove him home, made him tea. And Eddie’s felt the weight of his gaze the entire time. Buck hasn’t said much, which Eddie isn’t surprised by, honestly. He’s not really in the mood to talk himself. But there’s something quietly devastating about the way Buck is looking at him. Eddie’s not sure what to do with that.
“Sorry,” Buck says.
Eddie sighs. “Don't apologize, it’s not…I don't mind that you’re looking. Just—you know you can talk to me, right?“
“I know,” Buck says. He’s trying to sound casual but his voice comes out just a little unsteady. Enough for Eddie to catch it.
“It’s, uh, it’s not that,” Buck adds, after a beat.
“You mean this?” Eddie rubs at his chin self consciously.
Buck’s eyes flicker momentarily to Eddie’s face before his gaze drops again. He nods.
After Eddie got the call, he couldn’t help but blame himself. He should have been there. Maybe if he was, Bobby would still be here—with his team, with his family. Not for the first time, Eddie felt like he couldn’t bear the sight of his own reflection. He felt small, useless. He thought maybe it would get easier with time. It didn’t. And with each day, as the guilt grew, so did the stubble on his face—thicker, darker. An awful reminder of the time that passed since Bobby—
Eddie sets the mug down, afraid it’s gonna shatter in his grip.
“You don’t like it?” he asks, and the words taste like ash in his mouth.
“No it, uh, it looks good. You always look good. It’s just—god, it’s stupid.”
“Hey,” Eddie bumps Buck’s foot under the table, keeps it there. “Whatever you’re feeling, it’s not stupid.”
“I’m…” Buck exhales, “I’m not sure if you’re real.”
Eddie opens his mouth, then closes it.
Buck shrugs. “Told you it’s stupid.”
“No! No, um, I—what do you mean I’m not real?”
There’s a moment where Buck doesn’t say anything, just stares at his own hands on the table, fidgets with his fingers. Eddie waits. Doesn’t push.
Eventually Buck speaks.
“After the lightning strikes, after the uh—“ Buck clears his throat, “the coma. I had this thing I used to do every morning. A-a checklist. To make sure I wasn’t dreaming. That I was still me.” Buck’s eyes stay locked on his hands, and Eddie desperately wishes he’d look at him again. “Ever since he—“ Buck stops, swallows, sniffs. “I wake up and I pray for this to be a dream. An awful, terrible nightmare. I pray, Eddie. And it’s—“
Buck’s hands are shaking. Eddie reaches out, takes them in his own.
Buck finally looks up. His eyes are impossibly sad and impossibly blue, and Eddie is struck by how beautiful he is. It’s a weird thought to have at that moment, but it’s true nonetheless.
“Sorry, this is so embarrassing,” Buck says, a little wetly.
“Hey, it’s not embarrassing, okay? You’re dealing with it. We all are.”
“Look, I know you’re real. I know that. But also just—everything is so different, you know? Nothing makes sense anymore and you look different. And it’s like—like, how do I know I’m not dreaming?” Buck says. “Does that make sense?”
It doesn’t. But Eddie gets it anyway.
He wraps a hand around Buck’s wrist, lifts his hand up to his face.
“You feel that?”
Buck doesn’t say anything, just looks at him.
Eddie closes his eyes, presses his face into Buck’s hand a little more.
“I’m here, Buck.”
Buck’s hand starts moving on his face, careful fingers trace his cheeks, his jaw, his chin. Eddie’s breath catches when a thumb ghosts over his bottom lip.
“I know,” Eddie says, because what else is there to say?
Eddie’s eyes sting. He lets go of Buck’s wrist and places his hand on Buck’s shoulder, thumb gently grazing the base of his neck. He wishes he could press his lips to his temple, like he does with Christopher. He doesn’t. Instead, he pulls him in, presses their foreheads together.
They stay like that, breathing together, until their eyes are red and their cheeks are wet. Eventually Buck pulls away, wiping his eyes with the sleeve of his cardigan.
“Thanks,” Buck says.
“For what?”
“I don’t know. For—for being here, I guess.”
Eddie wants to tell him that he’s always going to be here. But that’s not true. He's leaving in a few days. He’s always leaving.
“Hey, you have a razor here somewhere, right?” is what he says instead.
“Come on, you don’t have to do that,” Buck protests, and Eddie is pretty sure he catches a small hint of a smile on his face.
also the realistic moment of trying to stop yourself from crying but physically being unable too?? how ryan was able to capture that in a five second scene?? insane.
ngl I have been refusing to read any fics that have Bobby being dead, but after *that* scene? ooof I just know there is going to be some angsty ones, I might have to give in.
