Comment on a strong hand and a sound mind

  1. "He needs to– he should– there’s got to be a way he can–" < Season 3 Buck, my beloved! This is a perfect description of his internal monologue!

    " but– there’s also a rectangle of card stock in his pocket screaming at him to pick up the phone." < Buck... do not my man, it snot worth it!

    "He’d gotten off to new things and then followed it up with a pretty embarrassing take down of his ‘straightness’ in a Reddit thread." < SKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSK, not a Reddit thread!😭😭😭😭

    "Buck doesn’t look at his leg much now that it’s healed. Jeans go on quickly, he lounges around in sweats not shorts, and he lets himself stare at the tiles instead of his own body when showering." < Oh this is just so sad how he can't look at himself without something being there to remind him of what happened to him...

    "His mother had gotten a pinched face the first time he’d accidentally let her see the bars on his arm, “you know tattoos are forever, Evan.”" mutters something about hating the buckley parents

    "There’s the pause again, like Eddie’s considering how much to talk about himself, and Buck waits to see what he’ll let out. “There’s courses, but I knew most of it from being a medic.” " < oooooo, revealing a big part of yourself already, Eddie?

    "Buck wants to ask for more. He wants to ask question after question, learn everything about the man tracing a slow steady line of blue across his skin, but he doesn’t. Hen told him over too many drinks once that she hadn’t liked him at first but he’d really grown on her. He’d begged her to tell him why to explain how he could be better and in the end all she said was that he got a little overeager sometimes, that he should let people come to him instead of always crowding into their space." < Buck's like a golden retriever sometimes, I swear, so this tracks so well! And it being Hen just makes it all the more better!

    "Eddie’s laugh shows off his sharp canines and makes Buck feel ten feet tall. " < jhdhfhfrg A GOOD WAY TO END THE CHAPTER!

    1. This is the most golden retriever energy Buck I’ve ever written. He doesn’t have an Eddie helping to settle him!!
