I would actually be really interested in a version of events where Christopher is unwilling to return to L.A. and Eddie decides to follow him to Texas in an effort to build bridges. So Buck watches yet another of the most important people in his life leave him (and blames himself just a little because of course Eddie is going to do whatever it takes for Chris but if Buck had just been able to convince him to stay then he wouldn't be loosing both of them).
Except Eddie texts and calls and still reads the L.A. news so he can find out about upcoming events Buck might be interested in and very much is absolutely not gone from Buck's life despite not being there physically.
Other parts of his life might have to take priority but that doesn't mean Buck is getting dropped it means Eddie puts in extra effort. Instead of Eddie not being able to be there physically meaning Buck is left feeling abandoned once again, instead it becomes an opportunity for Eddie to prove that he will keep choosing Buck even when he isn't convenient in the slightest.

I always have a soft spot for characters who have a protective streak for another out of gratitude for their kindness towards them, but Charles’ protectiveness towards Edwin really hits a particular way because it’s so so apparent that it’s specifically about wanting Edwin to feel as safe and as comfortable around him as Edwin made Charles feel in his dying moments. I’m going to shatter like glass.

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.
