Summary
Buck navegates life at the 118 the best he can all things considered, like the way Eddie is acting weird and giving him the cold shoulder, again. His relationship with his boyfriend is the least of his worries. Then things get nasty real fast and he's left reeling with the realization of what Tommy is capable of when all his bottons have been pressed.
“Should I remind you who your actual boyfriend is, Evan?”
“Now what’s that supposed to mean?” Buck gestures wildly with his hands, outraged. He goes to stand up and Tommy follows suit, and now both are looking at each other with different levels of ferocity. Buck’s got to say Tommy is winning this one though, he looks one step away from bursting the vein on his neck.
“Don’t play dumb. You’re obsessed with the guy, with playing happy family with him. You even facetime his kid a couple of times a week. It’s fucking creepy.”

Summary
Black spots dotted his vision. Dying here wouldn’t be so bad— Maddie and Daniel would be sad, would probably avenge his death but he knew that his father would sooner whip him for getting caught in the first place— he had nothing to live for.
Except.
Chris was gripping the back of his shirt like his life depended on it and Buck just couldn’t stomach the thought of the boy dying in his arms. So, he kept going, kept running until his legs felt like jelly and his arms felt like they were falling out of their sockets.
Perhaps Buck's fate was doomed the moment he decided to rescue Christopher Diaz from his cruel brother-in-law, had been decided the moment Eddie Diaz's gaze fell onto him-- caught in the man's webs. Grateful for the blond’s part in saving his son, Diaz offered the Buckley’s a deal they couldn’t afford to refuse— he would protect Evan Buckley from an untimely death in the hands of Doug Kendall.
The catch? None, of course.
Eddie wasn’t the type to limit himself when he wanted something, or in this case, one particular someone.

Summary
Evan Buckley was out, and proud. He has his first boyfriend, Tommy Kinard. He couldn’t have been more happy. Or at least, that should’ve been the case.
Eddie Diaz has always been able to read his best friend like an open book. Not that Buck made it obvious; Eddie just knew him on a level no one else understood. So when Buck starts changing after getting together with Tommy, Eddie is immediately suspicious. But no one else seems to notice; so what if he’s just making it all up? Maybe he was. or maybe, he just wanted Buck for himself.
But Eddie swears that there is definitely something wrong there.
And he is determined to find out what it is.

Summary
Later—after he has drifted in and out of consciousness over and over, like rising out of a churning sea, first to the park ranger, who cannot stop crying, then in the back of the ambulance, and finally at the hospital, where the nurses speak to him in gentle voices that make him want to rip his own hair out at the roots and he finally stays awake, the pain too intense to allow him to drift back to the bottom of that warm dark water—Buck’s first clear thought will be, But it was all going so well.
***
Buck is attacked on his day off. In the aftermath of everything that's happened - from Maddie's leaving to Eddie's breakdown - he decides the best way to deal with it is to hide it.
