Tagged by @watchyourbuck @rewritetheending and @daffi-990 for several sentence Sunday! I don’t really have much new stuff to share so here’s a bit I cut/reworked from buck sees death pt 2
“I just mean… The tsunami and everything happened ages ago,” he shrugs. “Everything else happened to other people.”
Eddie gives him an even harder look. “Even if trauma had a time limit, seeing something happen to other people can be traumatic, too.”
“But-“
“Do you know how hard it was, to see you trapped under that truck?” Eddie sighs, reaches out to put a hand on Buck like he needs to reassure one of them that he’s there. “Shannon had just- it was weeks later and I just- I kept thinking not again.”
Buck puts his hand on Eddie’s. “That long ago?”
Eddie looks at him, half a smile offsetting his frowning brows. “Are you asking me if I was in love with you then?” Buck nods, though he’s not sure if it was an actual question, and Eddie sighs. “I’m not sure. Maybe. The… I think the foundations were there.”
Too late to run, too late to run, too late to run. “Me too, I think. For what it’s worth.”
Things are… better, and worse. He supposes his anxiety now lives somewhere to the left of him, not so overwhelming at every moment. It feels almost silly to work on his past with Dr. Copeland when he has so little future left, but he does, and he comes home wrung out like a ratty dishcloth and Eddie holds him and loves him and tells him he’s proud.
Eddie. Eddie is gentle and supportive and there, there for him no matter what, no matter how bad the day has been, and there and happy along with him on good days, too. This is worse, Eddie taking such good care of him is worse. Eddie loves him like they have time, and Buck can’t tell him they don’t. It’s worse, having this and knowing he’ll have to leave it behind.

Reading comics is constantly like "Here is one of the most fascinating concepts you've ever seen in a piece of media. No we will not elaborate on it and you will never see it reach its full potential. Here is an interesting, new character. Oh now they're dead/rewritten to be less interesting/trapped in a different version of earth to be only mentioned off hand and never seen again. Here is your favorite legacy character: they're currently being written by a misogynist." And then once in a blue moon there's a comic that blows your tits clean off it's executed so well. But it's a limited run.
