A/N: pleaseeeee don't hate me..it's been rough on ya girl these past few months ... but anyway ENJOYYY :)
Eddie's POV
The drive to my home was quiet to quiet. My mind was swirling with one thought only. The only thing that scared me shitless was where Buck and I stood. We never talked about wanting to be anything more than best friends. But there was always something in the back of my mind telling me that maybe there could be more to our relationship. The only problem was, if Buck felt the same way about me the way I feel about him.
'Are you kidding me, the man has litteraly taken a shower with you'
'But what if his feelings change when he's all better...what if he's just using me?'
I inhaled a sharp to rid these thoughts before I had a full blown panic attack in the car... with Buck sitting in the passenger right next to me.
"-ddie ...Eddie?"
Buck called.
"Huh, What?"
I said snapping out of my thoughts.
I looked over to see Buck looking at me with worry clear in his eyes. Since I was driving I couldn't look that long at him, except for quick glances every now and then.
he gave me a lopsided grin and said
"What you thinking about so hard over there?"
while shifting his body in the seat a little bit, still clearly exhausted.
Thankfully we were at a red light so I had time to formulate my answer. Apparently I didn't think quick enough because the light turned green and we started moving again, only to get stopped again when the entire blocks traffic lights started blinking.
With a sigh I muttered a quiet
"Great."
"Heard that."
Buck laughed.
clearing my throat I said
"I got to ask you something, and I really hope this doesn't effect the relationship we already had, I mean I don't think it will because it's us and -"
But my words fell dead on my lips whenever Bucks lips suddenly touched mine, and then boom...fireworks shot through me. Some parts more than others.
"You worry to much. I want this, but only if you want it."
Buck whispered against my lips after breaking the kiss reluctantly.
All I could do in response to his declaration was nod and lean in again for another kiss. The only reason we broke the kiss was because of a blaring horn from behind us. Laughing Buck leaned back into his seat with a sigh as I started driving again.
About halfway there I heard a groan coming from the passenger seat. Looking over I saw Buck lean his head back on head rest and shift down a little in his seat, as if he was pain.
*Flashback*
'Now remember Evan is on a pain killer, it won't make him loopy, maybe a little tired. But it only lasts for a couple of hours, so when he gets home give him an Advil or ibuprofen.'
Nurse Brandy lectured to me
'Wait, why can't I have any stronger meds for him?'
'Because the Doctor didn't prescribe any meds for him'.
She retorted back quickly
Nodding my head I left and went to get Buck settled in his wheelchair
*End of Flashback*
I knew the pain meds had worn off, just from the way that he was breathing. Not wanting to be bug him more than I already have with the same question I opted for just putting my hand on his thigh. Thankfully I felt him relax but only some.
Finally we arrived at my house and by that point he was practically shaking from pain or coldness I'll never know. Hopping out the car I ran around to Buck's side and opened the door for him. Luckily for him he wasn't laying against the door because he would've been on the ground. I leaned over Buck and unbuckled him, and began to move his legs towards me so he could step out of the vehicle.
"Eddie?"
Buck whispered.
Looking up sharply startled by the question behind my name, I saw a confused gaze looking around.
"Where are we? What's going on?"
He asked timidly.
Wanting so badly to ease his fear I stood up gripped both sides of checks and whispered
"We're at my home, and you're staying with me until further notice."
I said with a small smile, to which he blushed deeply and said
"Oh...right..."
and got out of the car minutely.
Walking up the driveway of my house I saw Carla's blue Nissan parked.
'Oh Crap! I forgot Carlas still here!'
Walking through the door I saw Carla and Christopher coloring a printed sheet of superman sheet with lab rats playing in the background.
"Hello, we're home!"
I shouted throughout the house, setting Buck down on the sofa right as I walked in.
Carla hollered a
"Hi Baby!"
Without turning around.
Christopher on the other hand, dropped his red crayon and bolted over to me, without his crutches...
'My big boy'
"Hi buddy, how you doing?"
I groaned squeezing him tightly in a hug.
"Good, is Bucky here, is he okay?"
He fired rapidly.
Chuckling I said
"Yeah he's right over there, but we still need to be really careful with him because he's still sore."
Chris nodded and went over to his Buck very slowly and tapped his shoulder. It took Buck a little bit longer to respond than normal due to him dozing off on the couch, with his head leaned back on the cushion. lifting his head slowly he came to the realization of who was rousing him from his nap.
"Hiya Christopher!"
He tried to exclaim, but all that came was a tired rasp.
"Are you okay?"
Chris said going in for a soft hug.
My heart exploded at the softness between Buck and Chris. The minute they touched I saw tension drain out of both of their shoulders.
My staring was cut short on account of Carla yelling out from the kitchen
"I'll stay here, while you go to the store for a much needed grocery run."
'Danm'
She's right after my shift a couple of days ago I was meaning to stop by and do a Walmart pick up. Ever since Walmarts done this it's been a lifesaver especially with how much Christoper and Buck eat.
I looked over back at the couch to see Chris talking quietly but passionately to his Buck, and his Buck listening just as curiously. Over time I could see it was getting harder to focus and show much interest. I took that as my cue to come over and help Buck.
"Okay, Chris, I think it's time that we put Buck to bed. He's a really rough day."
I said rubbing Bucks thigh.
Although clearly disappointed he nodded his head and kissed Buck goodnight even though it was merely 7:30 pm.
Sighing Buck looked at me with a disapproving look that said
'You didn't need to do that.'
I looked back with a soft expression that said
'Yes I did.'
"Come on."
I whispered just loud enough for Buck to hear and carefully hoisted him up, that was followed by a small moan.
Wrapping my arm around his waist and giving my other arm to hold on to, we minutely made our way to the other side of the house.
Once we were in the room, there were heavy deep breaths next to me. Gently placing him down on the bed he continued taking deep breaths.
"Can you breath?"
I asked stupidly.
He looked up and nodded.
Pointing to his head and breathed out
"Dizzy."
Kneeling down I nodded and placed my warm hand on his chilled cheek and planted a soft kiss on his. His response was instant as he leaned into the kiss more and more.
He broke the kiss this time as he inhaled deeply and caressed the back of neck affectionately.
"Better?"
I whispered.
He leaned forward once again and gave me a quick peck and whispered
"Very."
I chuckled softly.
I told him that I had to go to the store to get some essentials, after I tucked him into my bed and gave him a soft kiss on his cold forehead.
It took me about 10 minutes until I gotten to Walmart and grabbed a basket. I didn't make a list s I just went down each aisle and thought about what I last saw in the pantry and refrigerator.
I was going into my third aisle when I heard someone say my name. I looked around but couldn't see anyone, so I went back to thinking if we had run out of cinnamon toast crunch or not. Then I heard my name again, this time the voice sounded more familiar. I once again looked up and this time my eyes fell up on the one person I didn't expect it to be.
"Nurse Janet?"
A/N: Again soooo Soo sorry for such a late update, but Im getting back into it. You all know how life can be.
