#anyone else would be Sooooooo mad at buck for acting like a dick and rightfully so

[buckley-diaztruther]

sometimes I read fics where buck gets hurt/does something reckless and eddie gets so mad at him and tear him a new asshole. and while I don't hate these scenes every time I do think it's really important to note that eddie has never once, in canon, yelled/gotten mad at buck the way everyone else has over his recklessness. dismayed, sure (like when buck took off on the bicycle to save chim), but never angry. closest we've seen is him telling buck about the will and he wasn't even like. mad. or if he was, he didn't let it show to buck as anger.

it kind of circles back to the invincible vs expendable thing. everyone else sees bucks behavior as cock recklessness. but eddie KNOWS where buck is coming from every time and tends to lean towards strong but gentle reminders that 'yes, I know you and I know this is who you are and your heart is one of the reasons we love you. but you also matter regardless, you have things to live for as well. reasons to prioritize yourself.'

and while there is something so juicy about eddie completely losing his cool I also just would love to see more of this quiet, graceful understanding and support
