#fun fact: this is literally titled 'crying lads' in my drafts

The silence is deafening.
It’s like all the life has been leached out of the world and Buck - Buck is numb. There’s something dripping down his face, Buck can feel it in the vague way he can also see the empty space in front of him where Eddie had been standing just moments before, but Buck is weightless.
There’s something happening around him, and he can’t, he can’t - Eddie. Where’s Eddie?
Then there’s someone tackling him to the ground, and he can feel the tarmac where he hits his head, and there is someone screaming somewhere in the distance, something about a firefighter being down, but all that is background noise.
Because - because Buck can see Eddie now. He’s just on the other side of the truck, lying on the street.
Why is he just lying there?
There’s something dark and liquid pooling around his head. He’s not moving, but no - no, Buck can see his hand move the tiniest bit, reaching out to him. To Buck.
Buck tries to go to him, but there’s something pinning him down. Buck tries to shake the weight off. Eddie needs him. Eddie needs him.
Buck will crawl through hell itself to get to his best friend.
