ok whatever you do don't think about tommy coming to pick up buck from a shift, with plans for them to have a lazy day (mostly in bed). he's walking into the station, and he's greeted by members of Shift B who remember him. buck's still getting washed up from their last call, and getting changed. hen & chim are already halfway out of the door, and all buck can hear is chimney excitedly yelling tommy's name, and the three talking happily about something, nothing. buck glances out of the window to see his boyfriend chatting easily with his friends, and he feels... relief. because not once has he had this with his previous partners, there was an awkwardness around abby (due to him still being somewhat buck 1.0) and then he never really merged his other girlfriends into the fam. eddie comes up beside him, putting his hand on the shoulder. "you okay?" and buck grins, it's his tommy grin. "yeah, everything's great." then he walks out to see his boyfriend, who goes all doe-eyed at the tired golden retriever he's dating. soft greetings are exchanged, and buck plants a chaste kiss to tommy's lips, just because. cause he can. cause he wants to. and of course, chimney, eddie and hen are teasing him - but it's different from before. they're happy for him. and it's just BLISS. don't mind me, i'm just HAPPY that buck is HAPPY

Buck is about to learn what it's like to be the physically smaller person in a relationship for the first time ever.

He's about to learn why his exes liked to borrow his shirts, jackets, hoodies, etc because now he can borrow these from Tommy. He's about to experience the sheer joy of being cuddled by someone bigger than him. He's going to experience having to tilt UP for a kiss instead of down (only by like an inch but still). He is going to find out how it feels to hold a hand that is bigger than his own.

And that just makes me.... mentally unstable.

THIS EDIT HAS ME IN A DAMN CHOKEHOLD

This scene was everything to me

Maddie: Wait, you like men??? You like TOMMY??? Buck: Maddie pls that was like 5 seconds ago catch up what's important is I need relationship help-

Prompt up for grabs:

I have yet to see a fanfiction where during the Jonah arc:

Instead of Hen and Chim, I can’t imagine the madness if it was hen and buck.

I know there’s one of Buck and Eddie, I remember seeing that one. But I have yet to see a fanfic of Hen and Buck with Jonah or even worse; Chim and Buck.

BECAUSE IMAGINE THE CHAOS THAT THE SCENE WOULD BE BECAUSE JONAH HAS BUCK ON THE TABLE AND CHIM IS WATCHING.

JONAH BRINGS UP THIS LINE:

“I’m doing you a favor here Chim, didn’t you punch him out when you went to go look for his sister, even though she wanted you to respect her wishes, but you didn’t do that instead, you punched out her brother. You can say it was an a bit of anger all you want… that’s what you told Maddie, right? She’s probably used to hearing it though, after all this makes you no different from her ex-husband.”

Damn someone please write this now. This got away from me.

if you really know Eddie Diaz. . . .

they held hands.... but BUCK'S THUMB STROKE????!!

BUCK COMING OUT TO EDDIE ❤️

the way you can see the weight lift off buck’s shoulders 🥹

- and the buddie hug. my heart. this is everything i needed.

Sure

SURE....

Buck needed that reassurance so bad in that moment

Wait, Tommy's gay?

i am so ill about everything that's just happened

THEY HELD HANDS IM WEAK

i'm sorry but i love them so much it's crazy

What do you mean we’ve only gotta four hugs!?

Buck & Eddie + hugs 2x18 / 3x01 / 3x06 / 7x05

I'm still annoyed we didn't see Buck apologize to Eddie for hurting him. However their hug was so cute, I'll give the writers a pass.

Actually scratch that because why did the writers try to compare a traumatized little girl to a damn dog? Wtf were they thinking?

They are in my brain. Help.

Whoever is running the 911onABC TIKTOK needs a RAISE

I hope whoever did the one on Fox got that raise.

"But Buck was trying to get Eddie's attention."

Well I have some thoughts on that! I think Buck does like Tommy, and there's no confusion for him about that. His feelings for both people can coexist!

My interpretation of last night's events for our chaotic bisexual kind of played out as him trying to get both Tommy's and Eddie's attention at different times. And not really knowing why. I think he was having feelings he couldn't really process because he didn't have the right context for those feelings and hasn't really felt them before.

So call me a clown but my thoughts are that he was definitely feeling jealous of both of them. With Eddie, he's primarily been close with only women outside of the 118, not other guys. Buck's subconscious feelings (not known to him at the time or even fully now) may have been along the lines of "Eddie likes women, I have no competition" and then in swoops Tommy (someone Buck already thinks is really cool and wanted to get to know even if he didn't quite know why yet) and his brain goes "I have competition" about both Eddie taking his new interest's attention and Tommy taking his long time interest's attention.

But then Tommy comes back into focus and clearly shows interest in Buck, so it clicks! This was that feeling! Part of the puzzle has been solved— it's just the rest that isn't as obvious to him yet.

Because without understanding his sexuality, Buck has likely only ever viewed Eddie as a friend even if along the way he has felt things that friends don't typically feel. So what we have right now is an opportunity for Buck to explore his bisexuality as a completely separate thing from Eddie, and then come to understand what he has also been feeling for Eddie without realizing before.

Or I'm completely wrong but only time will tell.
