Summary
"I'm sorry. I don't mean to compare what you both went through, but I don't know what to do here. We haven't even talked about it yet, and he seemed fine on the drive back, but I know he's not, and I just...please. What helped you after...you know..."
"After I was kidnapped and tortured?"
Eddie abruptly stops walking and turns. "Shit. Maddie. I'm sorry, I shouldn't be asking you this. Forget I ever..."
Maddie interrupts him. "Don't. Don't ever apologize for caring for him. I don't mind talking about it if you think it can help. What do you need?"
He takes a deep breath and looks up towards the night sky. It's cloudy, and he can only make out a few stars, but he lets his eyes bounce between them a few times before they settle on the moon. The sight brings him back down to earth.
"How do I help him through this?"
Or, Eddie calls Maddie for advice in the middle of the night after he and Buck get back from New Mexico.

Summary
“Scared?” Buck asks, smiling, all harmless teasing.
Eddie opens his mouth to say something smart, except nothing comes out. Just a strangled sound that could be mistaken for a laugh if you’re generous.
Buck’s grin turns a little mischievous as he leans in closer, whispering. “Don’t worry. I’ll protect you if they get aggressive.”
And that—yeah, that shouldn’t do anything. It’s clearly a joke. But Eddie’s brain short-circuits anyway. Protect you.
He’s not twelve. He’s not flustered. He’s—
He’s definitely not flustered by a guy who works with fish.
He’s definitely not flustered by a guy, period.Buck dips his hand in the water, demonstrating, and the muscles in his forearm shift under tan skin. Eddie immediately looks away, staring at an informational sign and pretending it’s the most fascinating thing he’s ever seen.
“Cownose Rays—Did You Know?”
No. He did not know. He does not want to know. He wants to leave.
Or,
Eddie takes Chris to the aquarium on his day off where they meet Buck, an overenthusiastic employee.Series
