Buck comes back to the 118 prepared for anger, awkwardness, and cold shoulders.
He isn’t prepared for the silence.

He’ll show up. He’ll do the work.
Nothing more.

Summary
"There is a flower growing inside of him. It should frighten him perhaps, the feeling of its leaves unfurling against his throat. But it isn't just a flower. It's his love for Eddie, manifested in the softness of its petals, the elegance of its being. How could he look at it, all bloody and blooming, and see it as anything but beautiful."

Summary
"Have you heard of the 'Grey Rock Response?'" Dr. Copeland had asked him during one of his solo sessions. When he'd shaken his head, she'd explained a little more. "It's not a long-term solution in a relationship, but it is a tool you can use in specific situations."
Buck feels like his whole life right now might be one of those situations.
