    Summary

    Eddie realized dimly that his hand was still lifted, phone pressed to his ear, the call still live – Buck’s voice spilling through the speaker, thin and panicked and far too loud:

    “…Eddie, what is happening? Talk to me. Eddie.”

    He should have kissed him before leaving the house, Eddie thought, as his knees gave out.

    He should have kissed him more, period. Every chance he got. In the kitchen, from behind, hands wrapped around his waist. On the couch, during the quiet lull of a movie neither of them was watching. In the parking lot before a shift, just because he could. In the locker room as the bells went off – a good luck charm tucked just out of sight.

    He should have stopped acting like there’d always be another time.

    Or, 

    Eddie refuses to talk about his feelings until the universe literally shoots him about it.
