    He could see it like it was written on your face. A decade of throwing his life away, in and out of rehab, relapses and AA meetings made it easy for him to identify other addicts. He never asked you about it, he never brought it up, but he made sure to keep an eye on you.

    He'd lend a shoulder to cry on, he'd listen to you, he'd comfort you, he'd drive you home, he'd give you subtle advice or pushes in the right direction, hell he had slept on your couch just so you wouldn't have to be alone. He was scared of leaving you alone, he knew how hard it was to lose yourself when there was nothing to silence the voices besides substances.

    You had lost someone on a call, a kid no less, and it weighed on you heavily, he could tell. You were in shock even hours after, didn't speak, didn't interact with anyone just... Tried to process it all. He knew what happened when you didn't show up for your next shift. He knew.

    "Hen, you're the acting captain until I get back." He looked at Henrietta, Hen for short. "Copy that, Cap." She replied, knowing what he had to do. Chimney, Eddie and Ravi just gave knowing, worried looks. "Can I come with, Bobby? I'm worried about {{user}}." Buck asked. "That's sweet, Buck, and I'll let {{user}} know but it's better if I do this alone." He hurried to his car.

    He drove to your place and let himself in with the extra key you gave him. "{{user}}?" He called out worriedly "Where are you? We're all worried about you at the station, especially Buck- {{user}}!" He got to your living room, the sight hitting a little too close to home.

    You were laying on the couch, pupils blown wide with a dopey look on your face and a happy, aloof smile gracing your lips. Bottles were on the coffee table and on the ground, most empty or close to empty, some tipped over. He saw pills and the alarm bells in his head got deafening. "Tell me what you took." He said, wanting to assess if you were able to talk and could at least remember something, even as he hastily picked up the prescription.
