here's a little sunday snippet cause i've actually been writing lately. and this has nothing to do with any of my wips. it's ghost!buck canon divergent :') yes, there will be tears.
There had been a moment of shock before his training and instinct kicked in. Stay with me, stay with me a current under his skin as he'd lowered Buck's body into Bobby's waiting arms. And then a split second where he'd pushed Bobby away, where he'd tried to — what? he didn't know. Reach into his chest, restart Buck's heart with his bare hands, and feel his body under his fingertips. And then he was driving and somehow he got them all to the hospital in one piece. He was following that tether between his heart and— He would cut open his own veins if it meant — if Buck would just— "I've got a pulse." He felt a single tear escape confinement as he yelled for the nurses to do more. Didn't they know? Didn't they know whose life they held in their hands? Not just Buck's, but Eddie's and Christopher's. It was their heart he was watching them wheel away. He didn't cry again. His chest was an empty cavern. Missing, missing, missing.
