Moodboard Monday/Tidbit Tuesday 🍂
Heeeey. Happy Tuesday gang, just two more days until another banger episode before the break! For some reason, I felt like bringing this fic back for today, at least a little taste of it. (Also, I kinda forgot how much I used to enjoy making mood boards for my wips; a habit I shall get back into soon enough, I think.✨)
Buck was driving just on the edge of the speed limit as he listened to the loud rhythmic beeps of his phone as it tried to connect his call.
“Hey Buck, what’s up?” Eddie’s voice was filled with levity as it came through the speaker; the bliss of unknowing, Buck figured.
“Hey Eddie, I’m… fuck, I’m on my way to your place.” Buck huffed as he steered the Jeep into the other lane.
“What? Buck, did something happen?”
“I- no, yes. I need someone to talk to and I-I know I should’ve waited until I got there but I couldn’t, I can’t—”
“Okay, okay, breathe Buck, breathe. Tell me what’s going on.” Eddie’s tone took on that grounding softness he used with distressed victims on calls and Buck couldn’t quite decide if it was helping to recognize the comparison or not.
“I—” How do you even say something like this out loud? He tapped on the steering wheel nervously, searching for the right words, but all he could achieve was a deep frown and a sour pout twisting his lips downwards.
“Buck? You’re starting to scare me.”
“I’m, I—” Alright, let’s start with he facts. “I got a call from the hospital.”
“What? Is it Maddie? Is she okay? Why are you coming here instead of—”
“Ma-Maddie’s fine.” Buck cut him off. “It wasn’t her.”
“Buck, I’m trying to be patient here but you’re not helping.”
Buck smiled a little despite himself; he could so easily imagine Eddie pacing up and down in his living room, with the phone pressed to his ear, frowning and pushing his bottom lip out nervously.
“It w- it was Connor. And Kameron, I… there was an accident.”
“Okay.” Eddie said slowly and the picture of him in Buck’s mind started to frown deeper. “So, what does that have to do with you, why would the hospital call you?”
Buck couldn’t help a bitter laugh escape his lips as he turned down to his exit from the highway.
“A-apparently, you’re not the only one who wrote me into their will and forgot to mention it.”

Thanks
6: Now
7: It's starting!
Soon?
Yes!!
8: Uh... ah....
Pag 2
1: In this Inter High!!
With my own legs!!
2: How many times have I pictured this?
Ah.....
3: How many times have I imagined this?
Uh.....
Pag 3
1: Myself standing inside the course!!
2: I can't breath properly and my heart is pounding
3: Earlier, I wanted to drink but my hands were shaking and I couldn't open the bottle
4: I was about to give up
5: If.....
Pfuii.....
6: If it's a dream
If this is a dream
Pag 4
1: Please don't wake up
I've worked too hard for this!!
Pag 5
1: Five minutes until the start of the boys' Inter High's first day!!
Pag 6
1: In the front, last year's champion, Sohoku High School, is lined up!!
Sohokuu...!!
Sohoku!!
Red-head!!
Ah, there's the orange-haired guy again!!
2: Ah.....
3: Ah..... in the front......
4: Don't look around so restlessly
Ye-yessir, teh
5: O-no-da-kuun
He's so cuteee!! Look this way!!
6: Ah- those are Back-gate.... Onoda-san's!?
They're his die-hard fans
Waa, as expected!! As expected!!
Pag 7
1: But he's so nervous that he turned to completely “ignoring” them
Ohhh...!!
2: Huh!? I don't know why, but seeing Onoda-san so nervous, is naturally.... making me relax, teh
Ah!! That was his goal!?
3: No, that's just his pre-race ritual
Don't worry about it
Teh!?
4: Also lined up in the front are the members of the local team of Fukuoka, the Fukuoka Josei High School

Kumamotoo!!
The super express of Higo country!!

I'm looking forward to it.!!

Do you want to say a word?
Yes, uhm.... Higo
4: will work hard!!
We'll work hard!!
Pfuii
Pag 9
1: Wh... what are the conditions!?
2: Earlier you said “there are difficult conditions to meet in order to run”...!?
Yeah
3: It's simple.... but hard
4: Sugimoto, the fact that you're running in the Inter High
5: means that Sohoku now has seven members
6: Despite the rule that says that each team can only have up to six people, there is one that has seven
7: It's the same situation that would happen if, for example, you took a reserve from another team
During the race, they could do things like blocking the wind, or attack; the higher your number, the more at an advantage you are
They could even help preserve the ace
8: So, in order to maintain equality
Pag 10
1: during the race you cannot get close to “Sohoku”!!
2: It's better... if you avoid conversations with them too
You have to run like you're a member of the “selected team”
These are the conditions
3: It means that you have to break away from “Sohoku”!!
5: This is all I can help you with
Pag 11
3: Don't worry about Sohoku
They have Miki, and Sadatoki and Kinaka are reliable too
5: Are you Sohoku's Sugimoto-kun!?
Ah, ye-yes
Quick, wear this, and the number bib....
6: Thank you, Touji-san!!
7: Can you follow it? That rule
Pag 12
1: Yes!!
2: I'm a man who follow the rules, after all!!
Pag 13
2: From now on I'm not a Sohoku member... but I'll run as a member of the selected team!!
3: There wasn't much time but I remember
4: Iwatani-kun from Nishihori Hisch School in the Saga prefecture
Ah- yes
5: You.... you remember my name!?
As expected, Sohoku is amazing!!
I'm counting on you
Yessir!!
Pag 14
1: First year, Uchikawa-kun, from Matsushima Business school in the Miyagi Prefecture
Ah-woah
2: I've always done track and field, so I don't know much about road racing, but thank you!!
Yeah, do your best
3: Second year Kobayashi-kun from the same Matsushima business school
Yes!
4: Babagome-kun from Toyotsukita High School in the Aichi prefecture
I'm a second year!!
And the first year Shingi-kun from Izumobata High school in the Shimane prefecture
5: Hyoo, thank you so much!!
6: As expected from Sohoku, huh
That's why they're the two-times in a row champions!!
Pag 15
1: I'm a third year from Chiba, Sugimoto
2: I'll cheer for you from behind the scenes
3: Run without regrets
4: Yes!!
5: Sugimoto-san!!
We're counting on you, Sugimoto-san
Touji-san.....
6: And everyone.....
Pag 16
1: Thank you
2: Without realizing it, my shaking has calmed down
3: I'm prepared!!
4: Hydrate yourself frequently, and eat supplementary foods at fixed time
Once every forty minutes, remember it
Yessir
Yessir!
Ohh, such a precise advice
5: I'm glad, it's so reassuring! Who would have thought that there would be a member of Sohoku
When I heard that our coordinator, the third year Yamashita-san, was absent due to illness, I wondered “what do we do now”
I'm so glad!
Pag 17
1: Let's run!!
2: No matter how hard the road may be!! Without giving up!!
3: We'll fight, with all our strengths
But I'll tell you one thing first
4: Even if we give our everything, the probability that we'll lose is high!!
Huh
Huh
Prepare yourself
5: Because I know
6: The opponents we have to fight that are lined up before us....
Pag 18

Pag 19
2: And how much they long to win
