    Summary

    “He doesn’t sleep.” The sentence ripped out of Buck before he could stop it. Tears threatened to spill as he brought his hand up, waving it around like it could solve all his problems. Admitting to his failure made him feel like a monster. “We’ve tried melatonin, tea, extra bedtime stories, exercising— Nothing works. Nothing works and Eddie, I am so fucking tired.”

    Pathetic. He was pathetic. Almost every new parent went through a phase where their kid barely slept. Everyone else could handle it, including Maddie and Chim, so why couldn’t he? How did they push through feeling so beyond sick, that left and right and up and down all looked the same?

    Earlier, he swore he saw the version of Daniel he saw in his coma dream lurking behind him. Did they see ghosts too?

    A soft thumb ran over his cheek. Buck couldn’t stop himself from leaning into it.

    Baby,” Eddie whispered, soft and oh-so-concerned. In no universe did Buck deserve him. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

    Or the one where Theo has kept Buck awake for four days straight, and Eddie won't let him fall any further.

    Summary

    “You can’t be here,” Buck continued quietly. “Am I seeing things again?”

    Again? Eddie forced himself to push all of his anger to the side. It wasn’t what Buck needed. He took another look around, eyeing several empty syringes littering the ground. Given how tall and strong Buck was, drugs were probably the only way they could keep him restrained. Bile threatened to pass Eddie’s throat, but he was quick to swallow it down.

    Also, dead? Why did Buck think Eddie was dead? Did his kidnapper convince him? Was it because he was unconscious after the accident? He didn’t know if Buck had been awake at all, but he would’ve checked his pulse if he had been.

    Buck filled the silence between them. “I promise I’ve been fighting,” he murmured. “For Chris. I know he needs me. I’m trying to get home to him. I just needed some sleep, I think.”

    Or the one where Buck is kidnapped, and there is no world where Eddie Diaz doesn't find him. Set during 9x13.

    Summary

    “Why are you acting like this isn’t a big deal?” His voice was raised, but he wasn’t yelling. “Buck, you have been living out of a storage unit for weeks! You’re in pain, you’re hungry, and you’re— You’re homeless. You have no home."

    Eddie had such a way with words. You have no home. Very nice of him.

    “What do you want me to do, Eddie?” He put the measuring cup down with enough force that it bounced to the floor. “Breakdown and cry? Get on my knees and beg someone for a loan? I took what I could.”

    “No, you didn’t.” Eddie’s cursed index finger came up, pointing right at Buck’s chest. “Because you didn’t tell anyone! We would’ve helped you. I would’ve helped you.”

    “I don’t want anyone’s help,” Buck pressed. “I got myself into this situation, and I can get myself out. I always do.”

    Eddie held both his hands up, but they dropped as something dawned on him. Misery flooded his features. “You took over my lease.”

    The last thing Buck wanted to do was make Eddie feel guilty. His decisions put him where he was— Nobody else’s. Still, his head fell. “Yeah, Eddie. I did.”

    Or the one where Buck has no choice but to move into a storage unit, and Eddie finds out.

    Summary

    He’s staring at Bobby but not quite following the conversation. The tsunami was a couple of years ago, he’d thought he’d be over this by now. It was just a natural disaster. He hadn’t lost anyone, not seriously. Nobody close to him died in its ferocious waves. So why after all this time does it still bother him so much?

    Why, after all this time, does something as simple as a tsunami alert still make his heart pound and his hands shake?

    Or, Buck has an adverse reaction to the tsunami alert in 5x01.
