#911 cursed

[deluweil]

Something I keep noticing, when Buck talks about former dates he had, he rarely specify the gender.

We can see it in several places over the years, but the one most noticeable is here,

Eddie is trying to get a hold of Felisa Valdez to give her her bracelet back, but keeps hitting a wall.

Bobby asks him if he didn't say he'd call her agent, and Eddie replied:

Then Buck goes:

He doesn't specify the gender of the agent or says anything that hints on a personal note, not she, or he, not she/he told me.

They - as in there is something I am not willing to talk about.

They never call back - called me back, told me they don't call back, I observed that this is their pattern of behavior.

It's not specified. It's not personal. It was lightly teasing and a way to make Eddie feel comforted in this frustrating situation.

It's also careful, because as past experience shows, Eddie is never thrilled talking about Buck's love life that doesn't involve him.

They rarely talked about Abby, the never talked about Ali, Eddie hated Taylor at first sight, and he was barely attentive when Buck complained about Veronica for the 0.2 seconds they were seeing each other.

Consciously or unconsciously, Buck is aware of it and keeps it light and helpful and I love him for it.

Eddie's response to Buck’s retort is interesting, too.

There's a dissatisfied nod, whether it's about his situation or the reminder of Eddie not being Buck’s first (😉). It's a face we've seen before, almost always when Buck’s former gfs come up in conversation.

In season 1, in the full moon episode, there is always a follow up question to Buck’s knowledge of certain things, mostly from Bobby, like how did he know a certain pose in yoga, or how did he know about the tape warm.

Even then, Buck's reply to the yoga pose question was that he dated like 100 yoga instructors, lol. Still, there was no specification of gender. But Bobby's question was always out of morbid curiosity met with amusement, Hen too.

Not Eddie, he doesn't ask, and never likes it when the subject of Buck’s exes comes up.

I find it incredibly cute and amusing to no end. 🤗🤗

This has been driving me crazy! What was he going to ask? Did he . . . WHAT !?!

Literally the ONLY way I’ll accept Buck’s final scene in Cursed is that he goes into the room and is about to jerk, but he is so exhausted from running he just passes out in the chair and never gets it done.

"Wait, wait, stop," Buck says, and the very pleasant feeling of Tommy's mouth on his neck vanishes.

"You okay?" Tommy's got his Look of Concern plastered on his face. Good thing, because if Buck is right, this is concerning.

"Yeah, it's just - did you hear that?"

Tommy raises his eyebrows. "I heard you moaning."

"Tommy, that's the thing - it wasn't me." The Look of Concern has morphed into the Look of Are-You-Sure-You're-Not-Having-Me-On? It's mostly used whenever Buck regales Tommy with tales of one of the 118's emergencies ("Nothing like that ever happened while I was there, Evan"), but he's seen it in other contexts (explaining the entire Kim situation).

"At this point, I think I know what you sound like in bed." Tommy's mouth is still nicely red. And maybe he's right, it was nothing, and it would be easy to fall back into him. Buck waits a beat, ears perked, but there's nothing - so he does press his lips into Tommy's, Tommy's body relaxing against him.

Tommy rubs his side like Buck's an anxious horse. The hair on Buck's arms slowly flattens, goosebumps leaving his skin. He loses himself in the slide of their kisses, until -

He breaks free of Tommy and looks around wildly, Tommy woah'ing.

"Sweetheart," Tommy says, reaching out again. "Seriously, you okay? Because you're giving Ghost Whisperer."

Buck snaps his fingers at Tommy. "Exactly. My apartment is haunted."

"Evan." The word is a drier desert than Antarctica.

"There was a moan again! And it wasn't me. And when Chimney and Mara and Jee were over here helping set up, they left the balcony door open. It's October. And now there is something living here."

"Last time I checked, Casper wasn't considered alive," Tommy says, and the look on his face tells Buck everything: he really is a skeptic. Falling asleep during Buck's thoughts on Area 51 wasn't just because he found Buck's voice soothing.

When Buck reaches for his phone on the bedside table, a chill runs down his arm and into his spine. "Okay." He's got Google, a helpful army of friends, and the ability to buy anything he needs. That ghost is history. "So first, we need to get -"

He's stopped by Tommy's hand on his wrist. "Baby, do we really need to figure out your ghost thing right now?"

"Do you want to fuck in front of a ghost, Thomas?"

"Is he a hot ghost?" Tommy waggles his eyebrows, then sighs. "Look, I get that this is important to you, but I was away for three weeks for that training camp and I missed you. Can we send The Flying Dutchman back to sea in a couple days? My place has a big bed and a distinct lack of the supernatural."

As they're closing the door to Buck's loft, another faint moan emanates from the air.

"It's the pipes," Tommy says, linking his arm into Buck's to guide them to his car.

(They find out three days later Tommy is technically correct when maintenance pulls a dead raccoon out of the walls of Buck's loft.

"Huh," Tommy says, frowning at his phone. "They really do make that noise."

"And they stink." Buck wrinkles his nose. "Your bed still open?"

By the time the landlord's finished the repairs, Buck's stuff, cleared out for the construction, is scattered over Tommy's house.

"It'd be a pain to pack it all up again," Tommy says. "Keep it here."

"You just want easy access to my hoodies," Buck accuses, feeling Tommy's laughter from underneath the fabric of the stolen blue hoodie he's wearing.

Two hours later, hoodie abandoned to the floor, Buck officially moves in.)

Buck: ¿Este enano pendejo cuando aprenderá? The entire 118 with shocked faces: … Buck: Ok listen- Ravi: Was that for real? Are you finally together? Chim, laughing: They are definitely having sex at least. Buck: What? No. We've been spending a lot of time together watching too many telenovelas, that's all! Bobby: It's ok Buck, we believe you. Buck: No really, I’ve been conditioned! I’ve been colonized! Hen: Yeah, I bet you've been very deep in his colon. Ravi, wheezing: COLON-

actually not ready for whatever profoundly devastating and romantic speech eddie is going to give buck to convince him he's not cursed. like imagine the fucking felisa scene but with six years of friendship and eddie's truly deranged talent for knowing the exact words to make buck fall a little more in love. all of this with his hand on buck's shoulder, thumb on his neck, by the way :)

[hyperfocusthusly]

Tommy Kinard took his cursed ™️ little boyfriend home, tucked him up in bed, told him everything will be okay, woke up in the morning hoping for better times, little boyfriend is covered in boils and pouting

[mythtakens]

I can’t stop thinking about how Eddie is the guy who repeatedly, vocally, does not even believe in curses. for years he’s scoffed at jinxes and ghosts and the like, made fun of and teased them all for their superstitions. he doesn’t hold a lot of belief in these sorts of things. but he believes in being there for the people he loves. actually while we’re on the subject, one of the few things he’s ever been shown to have unquestionable unshakeable faith in is Buck. like he is literally Guy Who Doesn’t Believe in Curses. but he believes in Buck. let’s all pass out.

[hunybody]

“eddie can climb out of his pit at any time” well actually ellen that’s not true!

1) in his initial grief he literally Could Not Legally reach out to buck for help

2) when he tries to express his anger toward his father his dad literally has a heart attack in front of him

3) when he tries to do big gestures with buck, like the will, buck just goes Oh Okay Cool!

4) when he tries to be special gay friends with a guy who is not buck but who is flying him out to vegas buck swoops in and starts dating him instead

5) when he tries to get rid of kim she comes back so he tries to express his feelings but then everyone sees that and it ends with his son being taken from him

have a little SYMPATHY he has been TRYING it is THE CURSE!!!!!

The way buck says “for the moment” like he’s trying to brace tommy for the terrible news that he’s dying from the devil’s curse

[rosetterer]

..... Is there a twist coming?

Tommy, I fucking love you so fucking much it can't be measured
