#eddie: i'm really sad about the idea of buck going on dates with people who aren't me that's probably normal right

[glorious-spoon]

@wildlife4life tagged me for Tidbit Tuesday - thank you! Since the Accidental Dating fic won yesterday's poll, have a bit of Eddie totally not pining over his best friend.

-

"Good thing," Buck agrees. He's grinning, teasing and soft, as he leans forward to clink his beer bottle against Eddie's. "Should have just asked you in the first place. I always have more fun with you anyway."

It's startlingly close to what Eddie was thinking earlier. There's a strange anxiety to the thought when he pokes at it: what's going to happen when one of Buck's romantic attempts does inevitably stick. It didn't work out with Natalia, but eventually it will. Buck is in a better place now; he's not going to settle for a woman who isn't right for him, but he wants a partner. He wants someone to build a family of his own with. And eventually someone's going to see him, all his bright warmth and everything he has to offer, and step right into the spot that has always been Eddie's by default.

And Eddie will be happy for him. Really, he will. Buck deserves to have that. But it'll mean no more nights like this, or at least a lot less of them. He'll have to take a step back and leave space for a new relationship to grow, and he's not sure he knows how to do that anymore.

He'll figure it out, though. 

"I wouldn't have stood you up, anyway," he says, and takes another pull on his beer.

"Oh, okay, thanks a lot," Buck retorts, but he's laughing.

I'm not sure who's done this yet, so if you have something you'd like to share, consider yourself tagged!

- ONLY TIME IVE LOVED THE BYSTANDERS 🤣🤣🤣🤣 them fucking cheering when the woman parted the robe, AmAzing

- and the fucking husband is on the road, I'm. I'm obsessed.

- AND she has a gun

- Athena and Cap doubting Buck but doing nothing to stop him is a Delight

- Norman kinda looks like a Guy Fieri and Santa Clause fusion. Which is too bad for Lola cause that's a look I immediately give credit to lol

- HELL YEAH NORMAN PLAY THAT SONG!!!

- this is such a stupid and wild scenario, so glad to have it and having the spectators cheering. She's gotta be charged with. Something. But what a time.

- DUXK YEAH ITS MICHAEL'S BOYFRIEND TIME

- jfdhsdhdh HES LIVING ON CHIM'S COUCH 🤣🤣🤣 Chim truly is my favorite

- he's just Such A Himbo, I love him So Much

- BUCK DOESNT KNOW HIS SISTER IS DATING TBE GUY WHOS COUCH HES SURFING

- ah, so this episodes theme is awkward relationship convos. Makes me nervous for Eddie's bit, if there is one

- Athena is pressing the assault charge because she likes and is protective of Buck. He's like a puppy.

- damn there's. Just no good topic for this dinner.

- Michael has consistently good taste, Glenn is Amazing

- CHIMNEY DOING FUCKING KARAOKE WITH MADDIE IM OBSESSED

- fuck I can't tell with the lighting, please tell me that wasn't the news reporter

- FUCK it is

- man I hope this doesn't pull Buck back to Buck 1.0. I genuinely really enjoyed his glow up from dating Abby

- this cashier is amazing, can Buck date her instead??? I think she deserves a hot boyfriend

- well at least she's finding love or at least affection. But my point stands.

- I don't like reporter lady but I do respect her chasing what she wants

- Buck learning about major problems and disasters during his personal time never doesn't crack me up

- you know, for some reason I always thought the jaws of life were a saw? No idea why, glad to learn about it

- hell yeah, another "just bring the whole situation to the hospital and let Them figure it out"

- oh NVM, the tow truck was just used to loosen shit up

- lol okay sure wedding vows inspo. As if Buck wasn't yanking stuff apart on the airplane wreckage with tows.

- the Chim & Maddie & Buck comedy shows is spectacular

- Buckette 1.0 is all I'm calling reporter lady now XD

- lolllll everyone telling Buck he's single and then Buck telling them they're dating. This is the only dynamic forever.

- please don't make me sad about these old gays 🥺 please don't hurt them 911 writers 🥺

- okay they made me sad but in a like. They're so good way 🥺

- FUCK MY INTERNET FOR GOING OUT MID MONTAGE

- oh jeez I don't want to unpause and watch this Jeep roll over this old man

- how does Buck always end up talking to the people? I like it and think he does alright but Cap and other clearly don't have full confidence so how does it keep happening?

- also just. Bruh he really fucking died bro 😭

- ARE YOU SHITTING ME, Buck literally says he wish he could find love like this gay couple??? WILD

- are they really gonna have Thomas go out with his husband?? OOF

-.....also who's gonna inherit their shit cause these guys were Super Rich

- also also they better donate that scrap book, that's a super cool timeline of queer history

- deadass who is Buck meeting for coffee???? I do not recognize her, though I'm bad at recognizing most people

- OHHHH it's the architect who got sexually harassed by her employer. How'd she get Buck's number?

- and my required narration lament. You know, they're written annoyingly but also I don't like Maddie's delivery that much either. Which is funny cause I really liked her singing voice.

911 S2 E6 let's goooo:

- the Buckley family constant of not getting Chim's references. It fills my heart lol

- HELL YEAH MADDIE, DATE CHIMNEY HES GREAT!!

- oof dang she like. Really maybe should've stayed with Buck longer. Or at least had him stay the night

- okay Buck fanning over the news chick is adorable!!

- oh noooo sad bobby 🥺

- also I really hope we get more personal stuff about this priest one day.

- hey uhhh why is Taylor at the firehouse

- lolllll are Eddie and Buck really about to both go after this girl?

- HIS NAME IS HOWIE!!

- what the FUCK happened with the chimney???

- ma'am why would a firefighter want to be famous

- I fucking hate the camera overlay effect they're using for the news filming

At this point I got busy for 1.5 weeks and am just now resuming the episode.

- oh nooooo I don't want them to nag Cap about why he's a fire fighter

- I know it's a show and that's why the film crew is at this scene but still hate them being at this scene

- another "and everyone clapped scene"

- I FUCKING HATE THIS BUG EATTING CONTEST BRUH WHAT THE FUCK

- oh nooooooo Bobby's gonna have weird kid feelings isn't he 😭

- sometimes I think Bobby's face is too flat/emotionless but also it just fits the character really well so whatever

- are we gonna get back to Buck's sister and her living alone anxiety? That's one of the first cold opens I've been super invested in, where's the follow up

- how are there no cars in that parking lot

- okay okay charley horse and his name being Charlie did make me laugh

- thank you Cap and Eddie for escorting the camera crew away

- BUCK PLEASE DONT GET WITH THE NEWS LADY AND PLEASE DONT TELL HER ANYTHING ABOUT BOBBY

- awww okay Buck loves his dad 🥺

- "we're just here to make sure no story ends before it should" is a great line

- I just asked to get back to the sister (I totally forgot her name in the week of not watching oops) and AAAA the flashes between her past and the call are stressing me out!

- oh noooo she's so stressed!!!!

- it Always cracks me up how Maddie wears her trainee shirt to show more tits than any of the background characters

- kinda wish Maddie had been given a friend or was talking about this to Buck or that we'd met this woman before. But tv shows and all that.

- DO NOT GO INTERROGATE CAP NASH WHILE HES ALONE AND EMOTIONAL

- nevermind Bobby has embraced a zen and dad like philosophical bullshit this is amazing

- HOLY FUCK ARE YOU SHITTING ME, WEED FUDGE??? TO THE FIRE STATION?????

- GIRL FUCKING CALL THE ON CALL TRUCK, GET YOUR PRIORITIES IN ORDER

- can't do the third all caps in a row but the stilleto through face is WILD

- BITXH DONT YOU DARE WHOS BROOK HIM

- why would handcuffing them with police like metal cuffs be a good idea to prevent self damage? Cause I know those things can be really abrasive and bruising

- Athena and Hen's sunglasses are So Cool I want them So Much

- where the fuck did the spectators at the fire station come from???

- how many fire stations are in LA?

- okay it's actually super cool that they interviewed the people that were helped but also if the lizard lady doses the brownies/fudge that's Fucking Hilarious

- YALL CANNOT BE INVESTIGATING IN CIVVIES, PLEASE

- I wanna pet that kitty 🥺 Also this business is so far from ethical and maybe legal, it isn't even funny

- yesssss I deadass really hope Chimney gets with Maddie, they're my two favs rn

- HOLY SHIT SHE WANTED TO USE THE DOSED FOOTAGE?? BUCK GET OUT OF THERE, HER ETHICS DONT MEASURE UP TO YOURS

- oh camera operator they don't need a room cause it's never gonna happen

- lol we got real photos for my prom and it took so long to actually get the photos to the devices I owned so good luck team

- one day they will have to bring back Athena's ex's boyfriend (yes I forgot his name I'm bad at names aaa)
