Summary
By the time Buck is thirty-one, he’s one of the most popular players in the entire NHL. He’s taken his team to the playoffs almost every year, and they’ve even made the Western Conference Finals a few times.
He knows he only has so many years left. He’s had some pretty rough injuries, and he’s had a string of failed relationships to go with them. He’s starting to come to terms with the fact that, actually, hockey isn’t just something he loves - it’s probably the love of his life. He’s trying to be fine with that fact.

Summary
There’s a soft sound coming from the living room, talking, or maybe the tv. It’s not Buck’s voice. The talking turns into something else, and Eddie forces himself to walk further into the house.
“Hey, Buck, I - “
Buck jumps out of his seat and fumbles with the remote to pause the television.
“Jesus Christ, Eddie. You scared the shit out of me.” Buck shakes his head. “What are you doing here?”
“Oh,” Eddie says. Maybe he was wrong about being welcome. “I was bored. I just thought I’d come see what you were doing. I guess I could have called first, but you said it’s fine to just - “
“No, no, of course it’s fine. It’s totally fine. What’s mine is yours’, right?” Buck says, a little too easily.
Eddie glances at the paused television and suddenly realizes why Buck was so scared when he came in. Naked men. There are naked men on the screen.
OR;
Buck and Eddie watch Heated Rivalry together. It makes some things click into place for Eddie.

What’s going on that he hasn’t told Buck about?

eddie's hiding something and buck is insane about it

Summary
“H-hey.” He frowns; he’s sure he remembers seeing Eddie on the calendar to work today’s shift. He longs for the days he would know without question because any time one of them took a day off they were in constant communication anyway. He doesn't remember the last time Eddie texted him. “Where’s Eddie?”
Hen and Chimney share a look. It makes Buck stiffen. Something’s wrong. He can tell something is wrong.
“Buck, Eddie didn’t tell you?”
“Tell me what?” They share another look. Hen frowns. Buck can feel the panic rising up in his belly. If he’d managed to eat his breakfast, he knows it would be coming up. “What’s wrong? Is Eddie okay? Is it Chris?”
OR;
the rift between buck and eddie keeps growing.

Summary
“Cas,” he says.
He says it to no one, a prayer that no one will hear. He knows that wherever Castiel is - the empty, not heaven, not hell, just nothing, wherever that is, Castiel hasn’t heard him in a long time. But Dean Winchester never prayed to God, won't pray to Jack.
He’s only ever prayed to Cas, and five years on, that hasn’t changed.
“I know you can’t hear me, man. I know that. But I’m so angry. I’m so fucking angry.”
or;
it's been five years since dean lost cas.

Summary
Chris continues to chatter in Eddie’s ear, and Eddie half listens as Buck goes up to Margaret and hands her the tape measurer he’d been holding. She stares at him with one tape measurer in each hand now, eyebrows drawn in confusion as he smiles and waves goodbye at her.
“See you later!” Buck calls as he exits the loft with Chris.
Eddie is only a few feet behind, but he looks at her, gives her a polite but fake smile, and says, “See you later, Maggie!” as he closes the door. He only catches the first half of her spluttering and protest of the name as the door shuts behind him.
--
Or, Eddie finds out Margaret Buckley wants to buy Buck a couch and thinks, fuck that.- Language:
