Rated T | 1,597 words | Missing Scene from s08e16: The Last Alarm, airport pickup, Eddie's stubble, pre-Buddie

Of course Eddie's been imagining his reunion with Buck. In his imagination, they're out front of 4995 South Bedford Street, and Christopher is standing between them. Buck greets Chris first, makes eye contact with Eddie while wrapping Chris in his arms, and they look at each other and grin. Eventually Buck pulls Eddie in for a hug, and it lasts so long he gets lost in it, and — "The airport police have sorta been on my case," Buck murmurs into Eddie's hair, interrupting his recurring fantasy. "I've been idling here for a while."

Buck picks Eddie up at LAX. A missing scene.
