TOMMY KINARD & EVAN BUCKLEY | "It wasn't about me maybe leaving the 118, Tommy. I just- I wanted to get to know you."

I have to talk about this scene once again because I feel like there is so much to say.

What Buck meant when he said it was "exhausting":

First he asked Tommy for a tour because he wanted to get to know him better (his words, not mine).

At the end of the tour Buck asked Tommy out but it didn't work out ( Eddie arrived and Tommy left with him).

Instead of asking him out on another day or calling him, Buck did the most Buck thing ever by trying to find roundabout ways of seeing him again.

First, he tried the easy way, by trying to join Trivia night when Eddie mentionned he was seeing Tommy again, but Eddie asked him to babysit Chris instead.

So he went for a different approach by trying to get Eddie to invite him to the basketball game.

When that didn't work out, he got Chimney to invite him.

That's why Buck said that trying to get Tommy's was "exhausting", because it was. He set up so many ploys to get to spend time with Tommy and none of them worked.

That's also why Tommy is surprised, because he didn't see all the nonsense Buck was pulling to get to see him. Tommy really thought this was about Eddie and Buck being afraid of losing his friend.

But if Buck had been trying to spend time with Eddie, all he had to do was ask.... they hang out all the time. The only times Buck is actively trying to join Eddie's plans is when he know Tommy will be joining.

Buck never behaved like he did when Eddie had plans with other people than Tommy.

I can't even blame Buck because this is exactly how I act when I have a crush😂

The truth is, I don’t know what I’m ready for, but I am ready for something. And I think maybe that something could be with you. 

Tommy isn’t Bucks bi training wheels. There isn’t going to be any tacky infidelity plot lines, especially for a character who just accepted himself as bisexual. Tommy isn’t Ghostface. There’s no secret murder/revenge plot. He’s also not going to leave Buck because he’s the new bi boy in town and doesn’t have his degree in the University of Bisexual arts.

They’re boyfriends who will kiss and hold hands and hug a lot and get physically/romantically close and they’re gonna go on dates and have intimate conversations and flirt a lot and kiss some more and probably have hot firefighter and pilot sex. That’s all.

Get on board or get out of the way!!!!

Another day, another thinking thoughts about Buck's stutter. How it gets worse when he's nervous. The first time Tommy clocks it is when they have their first 'not an argument but a misunderstanding' and Buck tries to explain himself but he keeps tripping over his words, barely forms a full sentence without his voice shaking, his breath quickens up and Tommy's heart breaks all over because it's not even a big deal— the thing they're discussing, but seeing Evan struggle with his words, seeing him this nervous that he can barely talk, it's painful so he cups Evan's face, looks him in the eye, smiles and says "hey, breathe. it's okay."

imagine tommy wearing an outfit like this and buck seeing him that suit...

You know what I think is absolutely precious about the kiss scene?

How when Tommy is opening up about being jealous, letting Buck into his insecurity, it’s the first time we’ve seen him falter since he came back. He scoffs and shakes his head when Buck tells him about how he was a part of the team, avoiding his eyes. He’s come so far, but there’ll always be that little part of him that wavers.

You know what it makes me think of?

Hen Begins.

And I’ll tell you why.

Remember asshole captain saying how Hen was a diversity hire?

Remember how Tommy had walked up to the railing with a big smile and it falling after the asshole spoke? Eyes going back and forth between them.

Remember him hugging himself during her speech?

In both cases, he was deeply unsure of his place. Hen was taking vitriol that could’ve been directed at him too and it wasn’t but he still felt its impact because it could’ve been. He was afraid and he was insecure.

In Buck’s loft, even though Tommy’s gotten a lot better and kinder with himself, he was openly admitting to feeling out of place and he’d never had someone accept him as easily into a family as Buck did in that moment.

Which makes his little surprised, “Yeah?” All that more special to me.

can't wait to see Buck talking about his hot pilot boyfriend with drag queens

the thing that gets me about buck and tommy is that they just genuinely like each other to the point where they can't help but a be a little bit nervous about it in the best kind of way and we see it in buck a lot because this is his first time he's conciously experiencing feeling this type of way about another man in general and about tommy specifically but we see it in tommy too both just before and after the kiss and then again at the café and it's just. it gets to me right because we get to see these two men who have both been searching and longing for something maybe their entire lives and somehow they ended up finding it in each other and it's new and they don't know where it'll take them or how long it will last but they like each other enough to at least give it a try and they're both so soft and tender and hopeful about it that it makes me believe in love again

tommy actually drinks tea but is a little gremlin who took a sip of the coffee just to make that little comment

weeks of buck trying to figure out his order and he only finds out when he stays overnight at tommy's for the first time and looks in his cupboards the next morning to find 13 different types of tea and not a drop of coffee

Hen: I just want to say I'm part of the LGBTQ+ community and this is one of my best friends, Evan Buckley, always an ally but now a little bit more involved in the cause. Talk Buck. Buck: Ally! Hen, whispering: You're dating Tommy, remember? Buck: Bisexual! Hen, staring at Eddie: I hope our other allies get as committed to the cause as our newest member.

Yes, uh, the pilot.
