Several Sentences Sunday!

They head to the others and are greeted with boundless excitement. A couple basketballs are being dribbled for practice; about four of them are at the park, including Aaron. “Heyyyy,” Buck drawls, greeting them.
“Yo,” Aaron answers, pulling Buck in for a quick one-armed chest hug. “How’ve you been, man?” He turns to the others who start to encircle them. “Guys, this is the dude from the Academy I told you about. The one who was hit by lightning.”
“No way,” murmurs trickle across the group.
“Uh, y-yeah,” Buck chuckles warily. “That’s me.”
“Damn,” someone says.
Aaron shrugs. “Anyway,” he starts, extending a hand to Chimney. “I’m Aaron. Buck and I were in the Academy together. I’m with the 143.”
Chim takes his hand easily. “Nice to meet you, I’m Chimney.”
“Chimney?” The man is incredulous. “Sounds like a story behind that nickname.”
Buck snorts. “Maybe we’ll tell you about it when we win,” he winks.
“Oh, it’s like that,” Aaron taunts, everyone piling on at once animatedly. “Any more of you?”
“No, just us,” Buck answers.
“Actually,” Chimney interjects, “I invited Eddie.”
“You did?” Buck is taken aback.
He nods. “Yeah, they should be here any time.”
“They?”
As if summoned, Eddie’s voice can be heard laughing about something behind Buck as he approaches the group. 
I thought he was busy, he thinks to himself.
Nothing in the world could have prepared him both for what he sees when he turns around, and the feeling that flourishes in the pit of his stomach as he takes them in.
Tommy.
It’s a hundred different feelings wrapped in a fleeting moment as he sees them walking together. Closely, and the space between their shoulders as they walk rivaling his own closeness with Eddie.
Tommy says something to his friend that Buck can’t hear, and the way Eddie throws his head back as he laughs makes his heart beat too quickly and painfully. He said he was BUSY. 
No one pays attention to his spiraling and when they get to the group, Buck and Chimney are greeted familiarly. Tommy brings Chimney in for a pound hug and Buck is caught off guard when Eddie lighty nudges his arm with elbow. “What’s up?” he asks.
Buck stammers, panic sprouting in his features. “Uh, n-nothing. I thought you were busy today.” It comes out a little more accusatory than he means it to, but far less angry than he actually is.
Eddie is unphased. “Yeah, Tommy and I went for a ride in the chopper. We were talking about what it took to join Air Support.”
He says it so flippantly, so casual and easily, that Buck wonders if he could actually stab him with a sword just as carelessly.
