Can you please do a hurt/comfort Eddie + Tommy friendship with Bucktommy - Tommy gets hurt in some way (mentally/physically/sick/etc) and Eddie helps him until Buck can get there
you gave me a reason to finish the fic I started earlier today! thank you!
His teeth were chattering. Had been since he woke up after hitting the ground.
He didn't hurt anywhere, which was never a good sign.
He laid there, surrounded by trees. Cold, wet leaves underneath his body. He could hear crickets and frogs all around him. Could smell smoke somewhere nearby.
There were distinct sounds of metal creaking mixed in with nature.
Slowly, he moved his head to the right, then to the left.
Fire.
It was about fifty yards away. Thankfully, due to the recent rain, the fire was contained to the helicopter that had so gracefully fallen out of the sky.
He wasn't sure how he ended up so far from it. Had no memory of being ejected or jumping or whatever happened that made it so he wasn't inside those flames.
He lifted his hands to his face, could barely see them as the sun set below the trees. He was sure there was blood. Dirt, mud, leaves, and blood.
They shook so fiercely he wasn't sure how he had any control over them at all.
His breathing was labored, heart beating rapidly. No matter what he tried, he couldn't seem to calm himself down.
Suddenly, in the distance, he heard something.
People talking.
Not just people, familiar people.
Family.
โH- Here,โ he barely managed to get out, figuring they'd be running toward the fire instead of him. He cleared his throat, tried again. โHere! I'm here!โ
The talking stopped, then there was running.
He could feel the pounding of the footsteps as they approached.
โHey, we gotcha, Buddy!โ
โHowie?โ
โYeah, it's me. Saving your ass, once again.โ
Hands were on him now. Lights shining in his eyes, causing him to squint. He could hear others talking. Hen, Eddie, Bobby. Couldn't quite make out what they were saying.
Chimney had him focus on him. โCan you tell me your name?โ he asked.
โT- Tommy,โ he answered. God, he wished he could stop shaking. He couldn't barely get out a word.
โYear?โ
โ2024.โ
โBest paramedic you know?โ
โHen,โ Tommy replied, choking out a laugh.
โHey now!โ Chimney exclaimed, mocking offense.
โI knew I liked you,โ Hen said with a smile. She patted him on the shoulder before getting back to work.
Chimney chomped on his gum a couple times before asking his next question. โCan you wiggle your toes for me, Tommy?โ
Tommy shook his head. He lifted his arm, tried to pull Chimney closer to him so he could whisper. โI c- can't feel anything,โ he paused, sucked in a shaky breath, โb- below my waist.โ He knew what this meant, and he also knew he was in shock. The adrenaline pumping through him was the only thing keeping him remotely alert.
Chimney nodded, sharing a glance with Hen. โCervical collar for our dashing pilot here, please, Hen.โ
โAlready on it.โ
โHo- Howie?โ
โYeah, Buddy?โ
โEv- Evan?โ
โBuck went home early today,โ Eddie answered, moving into Chimney's place so he could do whatever work needed to be done. โChief is cracking down on overtime, so he had to be sent home.โ
โWe've... We've been sa- saving f- for the wedding,โ he explained, although he wasn't sure why. Everyone there already knew that.
Eddie took Tommy's hand and wrapped it up in his own. โYou were probably already up in the air when Buck sent you the text complaining about being sent home.โ
โHe'd say... He'd say th- the chief didn't want us t- to have the good hors d'oeuvres.โ
Eddie nodded, tried putting on a smile. โHe did mention that on his way out.โ
Tommy squeezed Eddie's hand. โWe m- might have to re... reschedule.โ His lip trembled at the thought, tears welling in his eyes. Evan was so excited for the wedding. Had been working diligently and meticulously on every detail since they got engaged in October. He wanted a winter wedding, and didn't want to wait another whole year, so February it would be. With it being December now, Tommy didn't see any way he'd be able to fully recover by then.
If he did at all.
โLet's not worry about that right now, alright, Man? I don't think Buck will care when the wedding is, as long as there is one. Let's focus on that, okay?โ
Tommy nodded. Blinked a few times to rid himself of the tears.
A few fell anyway.
โEd- Eddie?โ
โYeah?โ
โDo I... Do I still have my legs?โ
โYou certainly do, Kinard,โ Bobby interrupted. Tommy wasn't sure how long the captain had been on his other side. Bobby gave his shoulder a light squeeze. โYou've got all your limbs right where they should be. You ready to move now, Kid?โ
Tommy could've laughed at the nickname. He'd been called that by Bobby a couple of times, many years ago. It'd been a long while since then.
He nodded. โReady.โ
Eddie didn't let go of his hand as they lifted him and began carrying him to the ambulance. Tommy was a bit surprised. He didn't remember ever being moved onto the spine board. Hadn't felt a thing.
A part of him had wondered if they'd even been working on him during that time. That maybe Eddie was the chosen distraction until he drifted off and his breathing stopped.
He was glad to know he was wrong.
*****
Bobby drove them to the hospital, with Eddie staying in the back beside him. It was a bit cramped with him, Eddie, Chimney, and Hen all back there together, but the fact he was surrounded by these people made him feel a bit more comforted.
Tommy looked over to where his and Eddie's hands were still tightly gripped together. He wasn't sure if Eddie was refusing to let him go, or if he was refusing to let Eddie go. Didn't really matter either way. He needed something to keep him tethered to reality.
He shook his wrist back and forth a few times to get Eddie's attention. โCan you... Can you call Evan? Please?โ
โOf course,โ Eddie replied, grabbing his phone out of his pocket with his free hand.
โYou've got some cuts on your arms, Tommy,โ Hen explained as Eddie pressed Buck's name. โWe're gonna work on those on the way to the hospital, so you might feel some stings, okay?โ
โYeah. That's okay.โ
Eddie put the phone on speaker and Buck answered on the third ring. โWhat's wrong?โ
โBuck-โ
โWho is it, Eddie? I just left work an hour ago. Is it Bobby? Hen? Chim?โ
Tommy took a deep breath. โB- Baby.โ
Silence.
Then.
โTommy? Is that you?โ
โHad a... a little accident.โ
โWhat hospital?โ
โThe usual,โ Eddie replied.
โI'm heading there now.โ
โEvan? Evan!โ Tommy exclaimed, wanting to get his attention before he got in the car and started to drive.
โI'm here, Tommy,โ he answered. โI'm gonna meet you at the hospital.โ
โI don't wanna... wanna scare you,โ Tommy said, and he could feel the tears burning his eyes again. โI can't. I can't feel my legs.โ
โHe's stabilized,โ Chimney added quickly, before Buck could ask. โLikely a lower spinal cord injury.โ
Another pause, followed by a quiet. โOkay. Okay.โ
โHe's doing well, Buck,โ Eddie reassured him. โWe're all right here with him. He won't shut up about you, like always.โ
Tommy smiled. He hoped Evan did as well.
โFeeling's mutual,โ Buck replied. His voice was softer now. Tommy knew the words were meant to keep him focused and thinking positively.
It worked.
โNeed you t- to be safe.โ
โI will, Baby. I'll drive safe and I'll be at the hospital as soon as I can, okay?โ
โOkay. L- Love you.โ
โI love you, too. So damn much, T- Tommy.โ
Tommy wasn't sure who hung up first, but he could tell by the way Evan's voice wavered at the end that he was probably close to falling apart.
โThank you,โ Tommy said as Eddie put his phone back into his pocket.
โWhatever you need, Bud, I'm here.โ
โJust... Just keep ho- holding my hand.โ
Eddie nodded, squeezed a little tighter. โI can do that.โ

Depriving children of education๐ฅน
โFor two years we have not been able to learn because of the war. We wish to go to school like the rest of the worldโs children.โ With these words, my son Muhammad summarizes the state of education in Gaza, as the second academic year arrives amidst the fierce war that is approaching the year.
Amir says, in a sad voice that carries within it the trace of psychological trauma, that the school that was our refuge was bombed by the occupation, which is Al-Rimal Primary School, and was severely damaged.
As for Abed, he continues, โAll day long, we stand in line to bake food, and I help my family. I am tired of this hard work.โ
My children are begging you to enroll in private educational centers, and this requires high costs (registration fees, transportation, stationery... Contribute to their education and protect them from danger and loss. You are the source of light and future for them.
The next goal for children's education is 90k by next Sunday.
Please contribute and pay attention.๐
