Summary
“Anyway … love ya, man," Buck says in the recording. "You’re my best friend.”
Oh, god. Eddie pulls Buck’s shirt up over his face and focuses on breathing through the fabric. Why are his earlobes tingling?
“Okay. I’m gonna send this now. Thanks for listening. Miss you. Bye.” Buck says this all very quickly, like he’s sprinting to the end of the message.
There’s a little noise indicating that the message is over, but Eddie just … sits. Just frozen. They’ve said I love you before, right? He can’t think of when, but they must have.
All it takes to get Buck and Eddie to talk about their feelings is 800 miles between them, a stolen couch, a fake boyfriend and a bunch of audio messages.

Summary
“I thought being in a press conference with Diaz of all people would get the heat off me.”
Eddie Diaz, the reigning World Champion and the man who holds so many records in the sport it’s difficult to count them on both hands. Last year, he won nineteen of the 21 races, sweeping the competition and was crowned a three-time World Champion before they raced at his home circuit in Texas. “I should’ve purposefully lost,” Buck remembers Diaz saying to Jenson Button in Qatar, “Being crowned Champion in Texas would’ve been so special.”
Buck’s barely spoken to the guy, and he hates him.
or, Buck is Ferrari's newest driver. He really does not like Eddie Diaz, Red Bull's reigning World Champion and his biggest rival.

Summary
“Most babies are born as accidents,” She says suddenly, like she’s decided that Buck has passed, that she can trust him with this.
Buck doesn’t really have an answer because that question hits way to fucking close to home. A year or so ago he would have said, yes, I was an accident, so I know how that goes, but Buck knows better now. Knows that he would almost give anything for that answer to still be yes. Evie’s finger works under the seal to rip it open, a stack of important looking papers dumping out onto the table in front of her.
“Not me,” she says without looking up as she organizes them into a neat stack, “I was engineered.”
And.
And Buck’s pretty fucking sure a giant, cataclysmic hole has ripped right open, dragging him down to the earth’s core where he vaporizes into dust.

Summary
He completely pulls the charger from the wall as he fumbles to put in his passcode. He doesn’t know who to call first. Everyone is busy, carrying on with their lives and Buck is stuck here in the loft with the terrifying ghost of his childhood like an omen. Out of the corner of his eye he catches the Crooked Smiled Man now standing in the dark entrance way to his bathroom. He swallows around the taste of blood in his mouth, hands shaking, useless as his list of contacts blur beneath the burn of tears.
Eddie Eddie Eddie
He doesn’t know where the feeling comes from, but it’s sudden and sharp and excruciating. Eddie is the first name at the top of his list, his most recent calls and texts, and he doesn’t hesitate to hit the call button.

He's very real.
