Fics like Poor Substitutions

“Buck?” he said softer now, approaching him again and reaching his hands out as if he were approaching a cornered animal. “What happened?” he asked as one of his hands cupped the side of Buck’s face, a thumb swiping away the blood. Buck seemed to curl in on himself then, his entire body recoiling and his face taking on a look of shame. “I’m fine,” he said, voice cracking. “You’re not,” Eddie countered, removing his hand just because he couldn’t stand the look in Buck’s eyes in that moment. “Talk to me.” “It’s nothing,” he said too quickly, then pushed past him and headed toward the showers. “Buck, it’s not nothing,” Eddie said, following behind him at what he considered to be a safe distance. “It’s two in the morning and it’s your day off. You show up here looking like someone just killed your puppy and sucker-punched you. Will you please talk to me?” “Will you just let me take a shower?” Buck asked, stopping in place for a moment. “Please.”
