#everything going on with buck eddie and tommy feels very romcom already so lets fucking lean into it!

I've been saying I want Eddie to be the last to know, but honestly the more I think about it the more I change my mind. It's Buck's relationship with Eddie that will -potentially- be effected the most by Buck's new revelation but Eddie and Marisol crashing his first date with Tommy is probably going to expedite that conversation.

SO now I'm thinking: Chimney is the last to know.

I don't mean that he's 100% out of the loop- I'm convinced Buddie are something Madney discusses a lot. They're convinced that buddie will end up together long before it becomes a reality.

I mean that Chimney is the last to hear/see the verbal/physical confirmation.

Maddie will probably be the first and out of respect for her brother she would keep it to herself. She loves her brother enough to know this is something that needs to happen at his own pace and would try her very hardest not to bretray his confidence. She might gossip with her fellow dispatchers, but I think with the other members of 118 she wouldn't out him. Maddie can do exactly what Chimney always does with a secret - make not-so-vague references and literally run away when pressed leaving every one confused and amused.

I think it'd been even funnier if Buck just, like, forgets to tell Chim. Or maybe he just assumes Maddie blurted it out to him the moment she got home so he doesn’t think he needs too. Whatever it is, no one mentions to Chim the fact that Buck is dating a guy.

And so, Chimeny, oblivious as he is, doesn't put the pieces together until Buck is literally saying the words or maybe he sees Buck and Tommy be physical in some way, an intimate touch, a kiss, etc. And so Chimeny can have a comical freak out, as Kenny is so amazing at doing, and when he's done he should be like: "Wait, what about Eddie?"
