Anyone saying that Tommy is just convenient, he’s just a stepping stone, or Buck is confused and projecting his feelings for Eddie onto Tommy. Denial is not a river in Africa.
Buck didn’t just roll out of bed one morning and decide “I am declaring myself to be bisexual! And starting today, I’m looking for a guy”
Buck has ALWAYS been bisexual. So the whole time we have known Evan Buckley, he has been attracted to men.
However, it’s very likely had never really sat with and processed what to do about that attraction prior to meeting Tommy. Never acted on it prior to Tommy. Never made it as obvious to anyone before Tommy.
In retrospect, the signs were definitely there, before Tommy.
The catalyst for the change? Is Tommy.
He made the conscious decision to go see Tommy when he had no damn reason to. He wasn’t thinking of leaving the 118, he just wanted a reason to see him again. I don’t think Buck actively processing “I want to date this man” he just wanted “something” and Tommy was part of that something. But he had no damn idea how to get his brain wrapped around what exactly he was planning to do with those feelings “Huh, this is more…what do I do now?” Hence the basketball game.
And I don’t know if it was before Tommy came over or if seeing Tommy standing there in his apartment made those pieces finally click into place for Buck.
(Personally I’m leaning toward that “Well not at the same time” response to teaching him Muay Thai. Because there was no mistaking THAT look that Tommy gave him)
Because if you have ever been into someone and are even the tiniest bit queer, you saw that dance for exactly what it was.
The subtle signs, the shifting in atmosphere, the carefully chosen words, way their bodies started mirroring each other as they moved closer.
Tommy having more experience with this dance, started getting the inkling this may be going SOMEWHERE...So he took that chance and dropped the “Well probably not at the same time”with THAT look. That look was a whole sentence.
Now Buck’s awakening bisexuality, understood that look. And those butterflies starting flying and he stepped right up and said “I have been trying to get your attention”
He decided THIS man. Right here. Is the one that I want enough- choose to just lay it all out for.
Now for any baby bi THAT is a big damn leap. Because you think you know..But you don’t have the experience to know if you’re reading the signs right.
Brass Tacks my lovelies is..
Buck wanted Tommy..he wasn’t entirely sure for what. But he knew it was Tommy specifically.
And if you think he’s projecting his feelings about Eddie onto Tommy. Go back and look at that first episode Eddie shows up at the 118 in.
Buck wanted to be in that firefighter calendar, and he saw Eddie as competition to getting that which he wanted. Eddie was his competition. Did he recognize that he was competition because he also looked hot af?
Yep.
So when Tommy catches Bucks interest, once again Buck finds himself in competition against Eddie for the thing he wants, which this time is Tommy’s attention. And because Eddie is his best friend, and he knows Eddie is awesome. In Bucks head, Eddie is worthy competition for Tommy’s attention. It doesn’t matter that Eddie isn’t interested in Tommy the same way Buck is.
If it were Eddie that Buck really wanted, why tf hadn’t he asked Eddie to teach him Muay Thai? They’ve been friends for years. Why had Buck not been interested in the basketball game prior to Tommy’s appearance??
Buck is bi. And it was the hot dish casserole that is Tommy Kinard that made all those little “huh” moments click into “well that’s makes sense” place.
So stop playing at being flat earthers.

I am thoroughly enjoying For the Forgotten Ones by Im_Sorry_Buddy on Ao3 - it is a phenomenal read, and literally has me hooked for more at the end of every chapter.
To show my love for this amazing fic that is being given to us for free! I wanted to make some fanart for it. Spoilers below the readmore for Chapter 37:
Ignited Dream is such an incredible concept. I did my best to depict him, but sorry if I got anything wrong with his design. I especially wanted to draw this idea of him backlit in the sky, staring down like some angel of toxic positivity.
There is so much phenomenal fan-content for this incredible fic! Hats off to every single one of them!
Dream and Dreamtale belong to Jokublog
Ignited Dream belongs to Im_Sorry_Buddy

FOR THE FORGOTTEN ONES SPOILERSS!
Chapter 37: Ignited
🔥
I finally finished this! This is fanart for the most recent chapter of "For The Forgotten Ones" by Im_Sorry_Buddy on ao3
You should definitely read their story because its good. Chapter 37 is a rollercoaster of a chapter and is by far my most favorite. The appearance of Ignited Dream caught me so off guard that I needed to stop and lay down. I know in the fic Dream's face cannot be seen anymore, only his mouth. But I just cant figure out a way to do it without making it look like a toddler spilled orange paint and stepped on it. Even though this isn't biblically accurate, I'm happy how this turned out (and i hope y'all like it too)

FOR THE FORGOTTEN ONES CHAPTER 37 SPOILER UP AHEAD WEEWOO WEEWOO
If that other chapter left me in shambles I don't even know the feeling to describe what this last chapter did to me
Dream belongs to Jokublog
I was gonna set his clothes completely on fire but that would just be too much fire that I do not want to draw (and might be too much fire to even comprehend what's happening)
