Summary
Blue eyes were the first thing he saw and his own hand came up, touching Buck’s cheek, fingertips right by his birthmark. Maybe God had finally taken pity on Eddie; given him this one last hallucination before the darkness took over again. Giving him Buck for just a brief moment of insanity to help him move on.
Buck’s hand came up over Eddie’s, “We’re gonna get you out, okay? Just have to wait a few more minutes.”
Even this fake Buck was still so optimistic. “Buck.” He had to say it, even to this false god. Buck met his gaze again, maybe hearing the intensity in which it was said. “Buck, I love you.”
There. Much better last words
or
Eddie Diaz is hurt and alone on the job and takes the time to reflect on all the mistakes he's made in his life, because what else would he do?

Summary
Years ago, almost a full decade, Shannon had asked him to move and Eddie refused because he was trying to build a life for himself again. Eddie knows if he asks Buck, he’ll get that same refusal. Worse, Buck could say yes and Eddie would be uprooting Buck from the very life he built for himself.
He doesn’t ask, and Buck doesn’t offer, and they pack up Eddie Diaz’s life in Los Angeles into cardboard boxes.
Eddie moves to Texas. Buck buys his house. There’s a love story somewhere in here.

Summary
It’s not even three minutes after he switches off the light that the door bangs open. Bangs open, not even an attempt at quietness.
“Eddie,” Buck stage-whispers, “you’re not asleep yet, right?”
“No,” Eddie grumbles, flicking on the light when Buck bumps heavily into something and swears. “But I could’ve been.”
“Eddie, Eddie,” Buck sings breathily, shucking his trousers and clambering onto the bed in just his boxers and a button-down shirt. “Why is there only one bed?”
“Um,” Eddie draws the comforter up to his chin, as if he can shield himself from the half-naked—oh, three-quarters naked, he’s pulling off his shirt now—Buck with just a duvet.
or, sharing a bed with your best friend is fine, usually, except for when your best friend is the particular combination of tipsy and stoned at his sister’s wedding that transforms him into 200 pounds of cuddlebug

Summary
“That’s not—” Eddie starts, but cuts himself off as he snaps his mouth shut. “It’s different, Buck.”
“How?” Buck asks, cheeks a heady pink. He steps into Eddie’s space, the anger nearly evaporating into something more quiet and devastating. “How is it different?”
And this. This is what breaks him.
“Because,” Eddie nearly yells, “you were able to save me from the line of fire, but I couldn’t pull you up the ladder!”
