concern for colors of a violet

If Buck knew him a little less, he probably wouldn’t think anything of it; they haven’t been dating very long, but he still knew Eddie inside and out before that. He straightens his shoulders as he asks, “What’s up?”Eddie glances over at him for barely a second. “Nothing’s up.”Buck isn’t taking the bait. “You’re doing that thing where you’re talking without actually talking and not looking at me either. What’s going on? Did something happen at the appointment?”Eddie spares another small glance at him before not-so-subtly blurting out, "Chris needs another surgery."It’s a good thing he’s still standing over the sink because Buck nearly drops the glass in his hand. He hopes he’s not making the deer in headlights look like he thinks he is. "What?"ORChristopher has a procedure, Eddie worries, and Buck helps where he can.
