Buck watched as his alpha went straight to the couch, holding the pillows, and crying.
The omega could scent the saltiness and he came forward toward his alpha.
No words exchanged as Buck cuddled his alpha closer, ignoring the damped pillow, giving the alpha shoulder to cry on.
Eddie holds Buck, couldn't find the words, but was glad that the omega cuddled with him and was there where he needed him the most.
Buck comforts his alpha, soothing him as much as he could, knowing that sometimes getting the tears out helps.
"Do you want to talk about what happened?"
"Not at the moment."
"You up for fudge cookies?" Buck asked, wiping the alpha's eyes.
"Not now, maybe later."
"Hen told us," Buck said, and added quickly, "she was right, you know."
Eddie nodded.
"Where's Christopher?" Eddie asked, not hearing his son's voice in the background.
"He is staying at a friend's house for the night; he told me that you are going to need me more than ever."
Eddie felt overwhelmed. The alpha knew that once Christopher is back at home, he will make sure to tell his son how much he loves him and is proud of him.
"Our son is grown so fast."
"Yes, he did. I remembered the time when he went to kindergarten." Buck mumbled.
Eddie cuddled with his omega, sniffing the sea scent of Buck.
"I love you, Buck." Eddie said and kissed his omega.
Buck enjoying the tenderness of the kiss and the warmth.
Knowing that Eddie will talk when he is ready.
