    Summary

    Buck takes it to the grave.
    He doesn’t mean to. It’s just—with all that time he spent teasing death, all the motorcycles and factory fires and blood-coated grenades—death gets impatient, in the end. Right as he’s starting to take life seriously. After he puts his name on the lease, buys life a ring, like, I’m in this for the long haul. Death gets jealous, and Buck falls through a second-story floor onto a derelict wrought-iron stair rail, and his femoral artery begins the quick but methodical work of leaking out the next fifty or sixty years of his life onto the charred tile floor.

    Summary

    Buck doesn’t know what he’s going to say next. All he hears is the awful sound of splintering wood, a beam emancipating itself from above them. Without another thought, Buck lunges forward and pushes Eddie out of its path.

    When Buck falls through the unstable give of the floor, he feels a bone chilling terror. But it’s okay, because Eddie was knocked away. The beam missed him.

    Then, a terrible noise like thunder, a mammoth of sound, and Eddie is falling too. Why is Eddie falling too?

    Buck takes a great big tumble. Like always, Eddie is right behind him.

    Summary

    They’ve been getting fewer and farther between, Eddie’s nightmares. Buck still waits. Partially out of habit, partially because the sound of Eddie breathing will always beat his unseeing eyes on the hot pavement, staring straight at Buck until he bolts up on the couch. Morning comes and they don’t talk about it.

    On and on and on it goes.

    Summary

    "Cap?" Eddie's voice breaks them all out of a trance.
    He looks wretched, wrecked in much the same way they all do, but it's deeper, something much more hollowed out and ragged, a feeling that Bobby knows is mirrored on his own face.
    It's the haunted look of a father who'd almost lost his son.

     

    bobby's exhausted, and at first he thinks he's having another nightmare, the image of buck reaching out and covered in blood forever etched into his memory.
    it's not until a shivering buck's crashing into his arms that he realizes that this is actually very, very real.
