Summary
"You're a real asshole, you know that? Taking a page right out of Shannon's book when you knew how much that messed me up. But at least then I knew why she left; I knew it was my fault. You didn't even give me a chance to either know what I did wrong or even try to fight for us. And I want to be angry. I want to hate you just a little bit. But I can't. I think I love you too much to ever truly hate you." Eddie's voice cracked, eyes burning with unshed tears. He laughed bitterly, hoping it would hide some of the agony he was feeling. "Fuck you for making the first time I say those words aloud be to a recording that I already know you won't listen to."

Buck and Eddie had a good thing going. Sure, no one in their family knew they were together aside from Bobby. And sure, Eddie was still legally married to his wife despite dating Buck. But it was fine! They were separated and haven't seen each other in years. So when Shannon walked into the firehouse, Buck felt like everything he'd been holding onto was going to be ripped from him. The only solution? Tossing it before it can be taken. -

Summary
He didn't care if he got hurt. He was an adult, as long as it wasn't life threatening, he'd grit his teeth and bear the pain. But Theo, sweet precious little Theo, he didn't deserve to feel any pain. And if Eddie had to use his own body as a shield to ensure this piece of Buck's heart got home unscathed, he would do it over and over again.
Just let him be okay. Keep him safe, don't worry about me. It was the last thing Eddie thought before the ground fully fell away beneath them.

Summary
Buck's shaking his head before he can think about it. "Don't say that."
"Why not?"
"Because he's not yours," Buck finally snapped. It was a low blow. Such a low blow, especially after his own relationship with Chris for the last few years. "He's not yours, so you can't love him."
Eddie's expression rapidly shifted across a spectrum of emotions. From the previously crazed look, to shocked, pained, distraught, angry, before finally landing back on the same cold expression he wore on shift.
"That never stopped you from loving Christopher. Or did that change when you got your own child? What? You only loved him because you thought you'd never actually get to have a child of your own?" -

Summary
"I just need to know that one thing didn't slip through the cracks." It was the longest sentence Eddie had spoken continuously since the call started. Buck couldn't pretend that didn't make his stomach turn. "And Chris—"
"No, we're not talking about Chris. Because you talking about Chris means that you don't think you'll make it."
"Evan," Eddie said sternly, or as sternly as he could while slowly bleeding out. "I need to know that he'll be okay."
"You already know the answer to that. You knew it five years ago, the last time we were in this position. He'll be even more okay when you make it out of here."
