this is from—something that’s not either of the wips i should be working on…i have no excuses so enjoy this shamelessness 😌
Dad, we’re gonna see the sea turtles today!”
Eddie ruffled Chris’ curls, leaning down to pull his son into his arms.
“Where’s Buck? He said he was gonna get me up early so we could go over the map.”
Eddie had to smile at that, squeezing Chris once more.
“I don’t think he’s feeling well buddy. He might not be able to go today.”
There was an instant pout on Chris’ face, one Eddie wished he could wipe away.
“Why don’t you get ready, and then we can go check on him, ok?”
Chris brightened a little at that, Eddie leaving him to it.
Buck looked much the same when he returned to the living room, Eddie’s heart aching a little for it. He took his place on the coffee table, reaching into Buck’s nest to find the mans face. Eddie didn’t have to get too close to feel that he was still burning up.
Lightly, he rubbed at Buck’s chest, trying to stir him awake.
“Buck, baby, wake up for me. You need to take more meds.”
Buck grumbled, rolling into his touch. Eddie wanted to pull him into his arms and hold him tightly.
“Hey, c’mon sweetheart. Let’s get you back to the bed so you’ll be more comfortable.”
Buck mumbled some more. “M’have-have to-get, go to m’trip.”
His words were adorably sad, Eddie hating that he was going to have to break the bad news. “Buck, you’re sick. You need to stay home and rest.”
Blue eyes finally cracked open to meet him, a nasty coughing fit following, Eddie helping Buck to sit up, patting and rubbing at his back to help soothe him.
Eddie eyed him keenly, Buck promptly going into another coughing fit.
“Wanna try that again bud?”
