Eddie stayed silent for a moment, putting his hand on Bucks cheek, "I'll be fine, Athena's going up with me, Bobby's gonna stay with you," Buck only nodded, leaning his head against the window, shutting his eyes.

What felt like forever, 10 minutes later, Eddie opened the door, tossing a duffel bag and a pink hello kitty back pack on the floorboard.

-

They've been at Eddie's house for a couple of hours, it being around 10 pm, the kids were asleep in Christopher's room seeing as Eddie needed to clear out the guest room.

He was sitting on the floor of the living room playing videos games with Hen and Chim, trying to distract himself. Buck was curled up in a ball on the couch asleep.

"how's he doing," Hen said in com-set.

Eddie sighed, looking at his best friend. "i have no clue. I only know what the doctors told me. he told me that the guy who did this to him threatened me and Chris and that was that," Eddie said, hearing slight whimpering from behind him and stirring.

"i gotta go, he's waking up," Eddie said, clicking off.

Bucks breathing was heavy, "get off," he cried. "don't fucking hurt them, please," he begged. "no," he yelled.

"Evanitos, it's just a nightmare," Eddie whispered. Eddie sat next to him, shaking him slightly, causing him to jump up and scoot away from Eddie. his body was sweaty and tears fled his eyes.

"hey, hey, mi querido, it's just me," Eddie said softly.

Buck immediately attached himself to Eddie, holding him tight as he cried.

"sh, sh, it's okay, let it out," Eddie put his hand on Bucks back accidentally touching a bruise, causing Buck to flinch.

"lo lamento," Eddie whispered, placing a kiss to Evans head. Bucks body relaxed onto Eddie's as his breathing slowed.

"what happened, mi querido," Eddie asked, rubbing circles on his back. Buck only shook his head, sitting up from Eddie's chest.

"You already know," Buck whispered.

"I only know whatever the doctors told me. I need to hear things from you, Evan," Eddie told the still crying boy softly.

"not yet, i'm not ready to talk about it, i don't want you dealing with my mess," Evan replied, only making Eddie scoff.

"i'm you're best friend, deja que te ayude," Eddie told him, putting his hand on Bucks cheek. Evan leaned into his best friends touch as he nodded.

"just not right now," he whispered. Eddie nodded his head with a sigh.

"The kids are asleep in Chris' room. I'll work more on the guest room for Julianna tomorrow. You better get some more sleep," Eddie said, patting Bucks knee, getting up.

Buck went to go lay back, "What're you doing," he asked Buck with a raised eyebrow.

"Going to bed, you said your guest room wasn't ready," Buck replied. Eddie laughed softly.

"you're sleeping in mine," Eddie told him. But Buck wasn't having it. he was already intruding the man's house, now his bed?

But Eddie insisted, dragging Buck to his room.

He let Buck change in the bathroom and he changed in the bedroom. He could see through the cracked door, Eddie's shirtless and pant-less body and he immediately looked away, quietly closing the bathroom door. He shook the thoughts out of his head and looked down at his arm, the bandage feeling tight. He took the Bandage off, seeing slightly open cuts that spelt out faggot.

Bucks eyes started burning with tears and he walked out seeing Eddie was just finishing up. Eddie looked at him and sighed, pulling him in for a hug, "i told you not to look, Evan," he whispered softly.

they stood like that for just a few minutes, "He violated me in every way, Eddie." Buck stated, holding his best friend tighter. Eddie bit his lip, "i know, Ev." Eddie whispered. They stood their, in each others arms but then they pulled away and Buck plopped on the bed, "goodnight, Evan," Eddie smiled as he went to go walk out.

Buck grabbed his wrist, "stay with me, just for tonight," he asked. Except it wouldn't be just for that night and Eddie couldn't say no.

"Por supuesto, mi querido," Eddie smiled at the boy, causing Buck to blush slightly.

Buck knew quite a bit of spanish, he took it in high school and he living in Mexico for a year helped as well.

he got in bed next to Buck, then just staring at each other. Somehow, they managed to slowly inch their way towards each other until Buck was buried into his arms.

"Sleep well," Eddie whispered, kissing his head. Buck smiled and blushed against his bare chest. They were broken out of the silence when two kids walked in the room.

Julianna was crying. "hey, baby what's wrong," Buck said shooting up and looking at her, pulling her into his lap.

"i had a nightmare, can i sleep with you," the five year old whimpered. "Of course, baby," he replied.

"And did you need something, Chris?," Eddie asked Chris. Christ shook his head no.

"I just wanted to walk her in here, she was really upset," Chris smiled at his dad, who only nodded. "that was very kind of you, Chris," Buck and Eddie smiled.

Eddie smiled, giving Chris a hug and kiss goodnight, Buck giving him a hug. "Goodnight, buddy," They both said, Eddie getting up and walking Chris to his room. A few minutes later, he came back in to see Julianna curled up against Bucks side, who was texting someone in his phone.

"She asleep?" Eddie asked, putting a shirt on. Buck nodded, looking at Eddie. He frowned seeing him covered, making Eddie chuckle.

"There's a five year old in bed now, i'm wearing my clothes," he winked, getting on his side. Buck grabbed his shirt, pulling him in close.

Eddie let out a shocked breath, looking from Bucks eyes to his lips with a smile. "Well, hello," Eddie smiled. Buck looked at his lips and then his eyes. he restrained himself from anything he was thinking, letting Eddie go.

"Later," he smiled back at Eddie.
