    Summary

    “Hey!” Tommy answers, bright and chipper. “Didn’t expect to hear from you so soon. How’s the shift going?”

    “Tommy…” Eddie gasps. Even though it’s only one word, he can hear how wretched his voice sounds.

    There’s a sharp inhale on the other end of the line. All the cheer is gone from Tommy’s voice when he asks, “What happened?”

    Eddie takes a breath, forcing himself to choke down the lump in his throat and speak clearly. “You need to come to First Presbyterian. Buck’s been in an accident.”

    Summary

    There’s mud on his hands. There’s mud on his hands and he has to dig deeper, quicker, because Eddie is forty feet beneath him and surely he can’t breathe because the well is gone and Eddie is gone and Buck can’t follow him.

    “Eddie,” his throat feels raw, the words wrong to his ears, “Eddie.”

    “Yeah,” Eddie says, holding onto him, “I'm right here, Buck, I’m right here.”

    “I can’t—” Buck breaks off, his trembling, dirty hand in the air and Eddie must understand because he takes Buck's hand without question and pulls it to his chest, right over his heart.

    Summary

    "So do you ever think you'll try it?" Buck asks.

    "Sleeping with a woman?" Ravi asks, raising his eyebrows. "I haven't seriously considered it before, to be honest." An idea occurs to him, probably buoyed by the alcohol, and he looks up through his lashes when he adds, "But if I do ever decide to try it, maybe you can teach me some things."

    They're standing close enough that Ravi can hear the little catch in Buck's breath at that. A clamoring rush of thoughts cascades through him: oh my god, and yes, and really?, and I can't believe that worked. "And you know. Learning by doing is the best way to learn something," Ravi says. His heart is pounding so hard he can feel the veins in his neck. "Maybe you could show me. How to--how to treat a woman."

    Summary

    “You were at the bar,” Eddie adds, confused and cold and not altogether convinced that this isn’t some sort of twisted mirage. Maybe he fell over on the way here, and is currently passed out in a random alleyway in downtown Nashville while Buck fucks a beautiful woman in a bar bathroom.

    He wants to sink down to the floor with Buck, lean against the door with him until their bodies are pressed together from shoulder to foot, knock his boots against Buck’s just so he laughs and pokes at Eddie’s middle with gentle, teasing fingertips.

    “I left,” Buck explains, unhelpfully.

    Summary

    It’s so intimate that Buck is dizzy with it. Evan. No one calls him Evan. He didn’t think he wanted anyone to call him Evan anymore until the first time he heard the name fall from Tommy’s lips; effortlessly, delicately, with no baggage or scolding or expectations. From Tommy, his name sounds light; weightless. Just Evan, like it’s that simple. Just Evan, like it’s a nice thing to call someone.
