boyhood

Sometimes Buck would sit and look at the few pictures of his childhood that Maddie managed to scrounge up. He would catch himself looking at this little girl’s face, this small person with such a big personality who is still a part of every decision he makes. He used to mourn her, before he realized that she was all around him, protecting him the way she should have been protected. Buck could not help but think, as he looked through the meager stack of photos, that she deserved better. He deserves better.or, the Buckley parents pull a surprise visit after years of not seeing Buck, they proceed to have stupid opinions on his identity, and Buck decides he deserves better (with a side of established buddie fluff, and a buck who is going to be okay moment, as a treat)
