Summary
Eddie can smell the lime on Buck’s breath if he leans in close enough, and he lets himself wonder if Buck can smell it on his. He wonders if Buck would even notice such a thing.
Much more relevant to the matter at hand is that Eddie doesn’t have any reason to be leaning in close enough to smell the long-gone lime in the first place. He forcefully reminds himself of this fact and makes an effort to turn towards Karen on his other side, to actively listen to what she’s saying about the current question.
“Y’all would know Chappell if you heard her, I swear on my lesbian card.”
Eddie briefly wonders how one even acquires an official lesbian card, before realizing Karen is joking. Probably.
That tequila may have gone straight to his head.
or:
eddie’s been looking for answers without even realizing it. turns out, all it takes to find them is five rounds of pride trivia and a few increasingly fruity cocktails.

Summary
The last time Buck felt like Eddie was leaving him, he kissed a man about it.
And, see, Tommy leaving Buck was one thing. But Eddie leaving him? There’s not enough flour in the world.

or: it takes an attempted home purchase, a holiday trip to texas, and some sisterly meddling for these two idiots to have some realizations

Summary
“Are you okay? Do you wanna… talk about what happened?”
Buck sighs so hard that Eddie can almost feel it even though there’s easily half a couch cushion worth of space between them. “Yeah, just. I need to sit with it for a little bit longer.”
Eddie doesn’t point out the fact that they already sat in silence for easily five minutes before. Because even 300 seconds feels like a lot when your best friend is sitting next to you looking cryptically sad after showing up at your house with a six-pack and ignoring the fact that you’re pantsless, sweaty, and out of breath.
“Can you talk first? Maybe about the Tom Cruise thing?”

Summary
There was a correlation between how short Eddie’s responses were and the darkness of the bags under his eyes.
Frankly, Buck wouldn’t be sleeping either if his parents had swooped in and taken away the most important person in the world to him. Hell, he’s kinda been in fight/flight/freeze mode himself since Chris left, and Chris isn’t even technically his kid. In practice, of course, is different. But ultimately he doesn’t feel like he has the right to grieve the way Eddie is. And worse, he doesn’t know how to help and not risk making it worse.
Until he has the forced realization that it’s as bad as he can let it get without doing something, anything.
Said realization is forced by Eddie collapsing on the job.

or: eddie’s not sleeping and buck’s worried. after all, he’s supposed to be the one who fixes everything, isn’t he?

Summary
“It’s like there’s something wrong with me and— and it’s contagious and I hurt everyone around me with it. And then at the end of the day, I’m just supposed to go back to our house, our silent house, alone. And not obsess over what he’s doing, how he’s feeling, everything I’m missing.”
Buck’s heart absolutely breaks at that. He wants to help in some way, any way, and remembers Eddie begging him to just talk to Chris, comfort him, even if he can’t fix everything, after the Kim incident. He wishes he could be there for Chris right now.
And Buck wishes so hard he could be there for Eddie in a deeper way than being an occasional shoulder to cry on. He’d do anything to help him right now.

Summary
“Hey,” Shane said quickly, breathless. “It’s me.”
“...Hello, Hollander.” Rozanov’s voice was deep and solemn.
“Are you okay?”
A short laugh echoed down the phone. “What do you think?”
Shane cringed at himself. “Right, sorry. Stupid question.”
“Is fine.” Rozanov sighed. “I am okay, I suppose… I do not know.”
“I’m… I’m sorry.”
“Why? You are not the one who sold story.”
~~
The coach's son from Ilya's youth sells his story, and Ilya is left to pick up the pieces. Hollander helps more than he could have ever expected.

Summary
“What is there to talk about?”
“What’s there to talk about?!” Hollander scoffed, shaking his head. “You’re playing for my fucking team!”
“I know.”
“Why did you have to go and get traded?! You realise we’re going to have to see each other every day from now on, and play together, and-”
“Yes,” Ilya interrupted. He didn’t want to know how long Hollander’s list was. “I know.”
Hollander took a deep breath. “Okay, listen,” he said. “Just so we’re clear - we don’t know each other outside of playing against each other, right?”
“Right.”
“And we can’t- can’t hook up anymore.”
~
OR: Ilya gets traded to Montreal in October 2014. He's lonely, and angry, and he misses Boston. He doesn't know if it helps that Hollander is there or not.

What?
Another moment of quiet, then:

Shane didn’t talk like that.As Shane becomes more comfortable in his and Ilya’s relationship, he starts letting his guard down, bit by bit. Hayden is subject to some very confusing one-sided phone conversations.
