Summary:
Buck is here, now, in the early morning light, right next to Eddie; warm and soft, blanket tucked up to his chin. Eddie rolls his head to the side and blinks his eyes open to watch him, peaceful as he is, face lax, mouth wide open to free rhythmic snores, which rumble through the sheets and steady something that has been teetering in Eddie’s chest. He’s perfect, exactly where he’s meant to be, beautiful and alive and within arms reach. Eddie is overcome with it, and he feels a sudden urge to cry. It’s not sadness—because what could he have to be sad about with his son down the hall from him again, safe and happy to be there, and his best friend next to him, sleeping like he doesn’t have a care in the world—no, he’s not sad. The tears that want to fall are the work of love, simple, overflowing, and trying to break free.
Eddie comes back from Texas, everything is beautiful and nothing hurts. They are in love.
