THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!! WOOO! So that means, NFL Buck will not be going on a break lol. Also that Taylor and Travis post game PDA. OMG. Anywho, here is a short snippet from NFL Buck in Christopher's POV once again, post lash out. (All previous NFL Buck posts can be found here)

Christopher barely hears the three light taps to his door and the panic that had been a subtle thrum since being sent to his room, sky rockets. The consequences of his earlier outburst we're finally here and he is scared of what is to come. "Hey buddy, can I come in?" Buck's gentle voice takes Christopher completely by surprise. "Buck?" Chris asks for confirmation because he was expecting his dad and Buck is supposed to be at a dinner with some team mates for bonding. Being home early meant Chris's dad called him, which Eddie only did when he is truly upset.

Well, now Christopher felt like an even bigger jerk. "Yea kid its just me." Buck answers. He doesn't sound angry, but then again, he's never gotten angry with Chris. "Safe for me to enter?" Chris hesitates for a moment, trying to figure out if Buck was sent by his dad or if this is the quarterback's own doing. Either way, he would much rather face an over concerned Buck first than his upset father. "Its okay." he finally answers, sitting up on his bed. Buck pushes open the door then shuts it behind him once he's inside the younger Diaz's room. Dressed in jeans, a nice green button up, and the baby yoda socks Chris gifted him for his birthday, Buck makes his way over to the queen sized bed and plops down next to Christopher. Wrapping a muscled arm around his shoulder, Buck pulls Chris to his side in a tight hug. "You up for talking?" the older man asks. Christopher can't help but lean into his warm embrace, but is scared to meet his gaze, "Did dad send you?" Buck squeezes him tighter, "Yes and no. He called me and I'm not telling you this to make you feel bad or anything, but he was upset and asked for back up. Gave me the gist of what went down and I told him I would talk to you. Thought you could use a sounding board and a little more time and space from your dad."

Don't worry. Eddie and Chris will be talking too. Hope you all enjoyed!

We've still got each other, which means we're gonna be okay.

THE EDDIE SERIES → dad eddie

[headless-horsegirl]

i wonder how long buck and tommy stayed there after the video call and if eddie, as soon as he was alone again, just broke down crying

[makorragal-312]

Honestly, I'm just waiting the Eddiesol relationship to be the breaking point for Chris and he goes off on Eddie about all his past relationships and how annoyed and tired he is of his current one:

Eddie: Chris, why are you so adamant on not getting to know Marisol?

Chris: Why are YOU so adamant on trying to find me a new mom?!

I love getting spammed with notifications of people going through and liking all my cemetery boys posts

"Hello?"

"Baby..."

Buck coming out of his coma with amnesia, and staying with Eddie and Chris. Only he doesn’t remember them both. He goes by Evan, and calls Eddie ‘Ed’. And it’s jarring for Eddie and Chris.

But sometimes he’s in the kitchen humming a song that Eddie recognises as one he would dance around with Chris to, or he makes breakfast for the Diaz boys because he’s restless one morning and up early only for it to be Christopher’s favourite. Chris comes out with some fact and Buck beams at him and calls him, “Buddy” and both Chris and Eddie are have lumps in their throats. He puts on the TV at a specific time one night because he felt he had to and it’s when Eddie’s favourite telenovela would be on air.

All these small things that make Buck, Buck to his Diaz boys.

Even when he can’t remember them, he still instinctually remembers, in his actions and words.

I'm so crazy about buddie because I've just had a dream where anytime Eddie mentioned something about his dates or were trying to go on a date Buck just sat on his laps and fall asleep like that immediately. Like Eddie's personal cat, but also really jealous bestie (who don't understand he is in love)

And yes Eddie were surprised, a little annoyed, but were sitting like that until Buck woke up

[oldsouldreamer85]

Don’t mind me. I’m just sitting over here swinging back and forth between anger, sadness and joy. Mmm, it’s so much fun working through past relationship trauma that I’ve repressed until now and have finally begun to process and heal from. I’m just grateful I’ve got two himbos and their “I’m so done with this idiot” (affectionate) husbands to keep me in my happy place.

[wildlife4life]

Tbh my theory atm cause no new stills or promo is that probably Eddie gonna spiral like Maddie because of the call ya know and we did get stills of him and Chris so I’m like maybe is not physically hurt more like mentally hurt also insider says the episode have a cute Buddie moment that not necessarily the focus also not Tommy so I take it a win is a win

Hmmm... they've already done the whole mental health spiral with Eddie, so honestly I don't see that happening per se. Maybe some new revelations that pertain either to his own sexuality, feelings towards Buck, or shannon. Or all three. I don't want Eddie to be physically hurt, but I think we are in for one last big hurt between buddie and considering buck died last season...yea sorry Diaz you're up.

Less Tommy focus delays what is to come and will probably further show how incompatible bucktommy is, especially with the cute buddie scene. I can't wait.

[theclaravoyant]

real glad Eddie didn’t give Christopher the medallion so he stays safe and comes back to him coz I think that may have broken me

It's a somber mood in the car as Buck drives home with his boyfriend. They'd been in high spirits too, helping Eddie set up the decorations and encouraging him when he was feeling a little uncertain about the surprise.

Now Buck wishes he hadn't been there to see the way Chris blew off his dad. The pain in Eddie's entire being was broadcast loudly, even if Eddie merely shut the video call down and then grabbed himself a beer afterwards. Tommy went after Eddie and Buck saw them talking in low voices for a bit, and he hopes that Tommy helped, because Buck was - still is - at a loss of words.

It's hard not to feel protective of Eddie, but it's also difficult because it's Christopher inflicting this hurt, and Buck isn't sure how to feel.

"Hey. We tried. Eddie tried. It just wasn't time yet," Tommy ventures, reaching across the console to pat Buck's knee.

Buck sighs. "It's just... It's Chris. Ball of sunshine, always positive, a complete sweetheart Christopher Diaz. I think about that kid and I think about the boy on the screen just now and. They're not the same person."

"Or maybe," Tommy says gently, his big hand still on Buck's thigh, "he's a teenager who is going through a very difficult emotional time and also some challenging physical changes."

"That what you told Eddie?"

"No, I told him that even if Chris isn't receptive now, he'll remember that Eddie tried, and when Chris is feeling less resentful and more forgiving, this will be an important moment." Tommy exhales slowly. "I mean, what I would have given if my father tried half as much as Eddie does to be a good dad."

Buck keeps his eyes on the road. Tommy's wistful tone reminds him that, of the three of them, Tommy is the only one who goes no-contact with his father. Buck hasn't pried. He wants Tommy to share of his own volition.

"I'm glad you were there for Eddie just now," he says instead, because it's true.

Tommy squeezes Buck's thigh gently. "He's my friend too. You know, he can have more than one friend."

"Yeah, some dork with terrible fake mouth static told me that once."

"Medal-worthy fake mouth static, thank you very much."

Buck has to chuckle at that. At the next red light, he picks up Tommy's hand and kisses the knuckles, before looking at his boyfriend straight in the eyes. "You're the best boyfriend."

"Baby, I'm your first boyfriend," Tommy says, eyes crinkling in the corners. "No competition."

Buck is going to retort when the car behind them blasts their horn. With a snort, Buck gets back to driving. "What, you want there to be competition? Not happy to be the first?"

Tommy is silent, but there's a quirk to his lips when Buck steals a glance at him.

"What?" Buck presses.

"Well, I was gonna say something like, no, I want to be the first and the last, but that might be too much." He sounds a little nervous.

There's a little flip in Buck's belly that tells him that, even if it is too much, he kinda likes it. He smiles and takes Tommy's hand, squeezes. "A bit much right now, yeah. But I'm... not opposed to the idea."

Tommy turns his hand over and intertwines their fingers. "Good. That's good."

queer implications of “you think your son being a cheerleader makes him weak?” aside, this is also coming from eddie, who has never once thought about his own son as weak, no matter what. eddie constantly takes inspiration from him, “that boy taught me more about being a man than war ever could” (paraphrased) and everything he’s ever done was to make sure chris himself never feels like he’s weak.

that talk about the skateboard is such a prime example of it, where eddie basically gives chris strength in accepting that there might be things he can’t do, and there are things he can do but differently from other people. accessible skateboard, for example. he’s never let chris feel weak, and i’m just so…

like yes, eddie does get overprotective at times, and he overcorrects, but at the end of the day, he and chris are continuously shown to be each other’s strength, and neither of them have that right now which is…so heartbreaking

i’m just really emotional about eddie having this conversation while laden with regret for allowing this distance between him and chris, and for allowing his grief to eclipse everything else, and yeah. eddie diaz. give him his kid back im so serious
