Summary
Except the firehouse doesn’t have a weighted blanket.
It does, however, have—
“Buck?” Eddie tilts his head back against the couch cushion, looking at Buck sitting at the dining table with the cap of his pen between his teeth.
“Hm?” He looks up from the crossword, glancing at Eddie.
“What’s up?”
“Can you come here for a second?”
“Okay, sure.”
Buck caps the pen and drops it on the table with a clatter. His chair scrapes against the floor of the loft with a sound that makes Eddie’s teeth ache. Each step Buck takes across the loft rattles Eddie’s bones to the point that a Jack and the Beanstalk joke sits on the tip of his tongue.
***********
OR Eddie turns Buck into his personal weighted blanket.

Summary
And it’s probably the wrong thing to say, but Christopher is just— he’s so angry, he’s so angry and he wants to lash out at someone.
“I wish you and Dad had never even met!” With that, Christopher actually goes into his room, and Buck doesn’t stop him, or say anything.
He lays down on his bed, burying his face in his pillow, and finally lets out the rest of the tears he’d been holding back.
--
or, Christopher makes a wish and the universe grants it

Summary
Eddie roves his eyes over Buck's form. The paleness of his skin, the starkness of his veins under. The way Buck's clothes are starting to hang a little loose on him, the way he never changes where anyone can see him anymore.
Buck just sighs and looks away, breathing measured. It makes Eddie all the more certain that he’s doing the right thing; if Buck really was okay, he would have had the energy to fight back.
It breaks something in Eddie. Almost as quickly as it rose, his anger burns away, leaving behind only pain and fear. He can't lose Buck. He can't.
Buck would do anything to protect Eddie. Even if it means keeping the truth hidden — right to an early grave.
