    Summary

    It takes days for Buck to decide what he’s going to say.

    You didn’t even let me say goodbye.

    It takes two months for him to get a reply.

    I’m sorry.

    I hope you can still forgive me.

    Buck knows he can; it’s as simple as breathing, as inevitable as the beating of his heart. His body would lead him to it even without his permission. It’ll go on forever until it doesn’t and by then it won’t matter to him, because he’ll be dead.

    Eddie leaves. Buck visits him in El Paso.

    Summary

    The last time Eddie had seen Buck so squirrely and anxious had been around–and subsequently–The Date, when their worlds had shifted to accommodate Buck’s newly discovered bisexuality.

    “Should I be worried?” Eddie asks as he puts the water away before turning to look at Buck again. He watches closely as Buck’s face–as expressive as ever–goes through a complex series of emotions before he finally seems to settle on something that Eddie thinks is a little bit like resolve and a whole lot like he’s preparing himself for a battle he’s resigned to losing.

    OR, Buck goes to tell Eddie about his conversation with Christopher, and kinda bottles it.

    Summary

    Eddie huffs another unhappy laugh. "Sorry I don't want to listen to you give up on my son."

    Buck snarls. "You said no one would fight for him harder than me, but how do you expect me to fight this?"

    or, When a couch is not about a couch, but a will.

    Summary

    He wants to show Buck. To use his hands and his mouth to tell him the words he can barely speak even inside his own head. That he’s so grateful to Buck. Buck who is so kind and sweet and so, so good to him. Wants to mouth his thank you’s into the soft skin of Buck’s throat and whisper his apologies into the space between his thighs. Sorry for being such a mess, sorry for dragging him away from his boyfriend to sit and watch Eddie cry on his kitchen floor. Sorry for kissing him and kissing him and kissing him. Sorry for not feeling as bad about it as he should. Sorry for lying when he said nothing would change between them. Sorry for not figuring his shit out sooner. Sorry for everything, for all of it.
