#so i guess slight spoilers for eddie's second best man speech

[chronicowboy]

the more i think about it eddie's "dating someone you rescued? that never ends well" might be a justification. not for his jealousy, but for his silence. every time he's rescued buck and every time buck has rescued him, the deep intimacy that comes from that life and death connection, not wanting to risk something so goddamn sacred. every time he's had to feel what it'd be like to lose buck for good whispering in his ear and telling him not to lose him to something as impermanent as a relationship. every time they've rescued each other and the possibility of maybe their biased love keeping them from rescuing each other on the job ever again. maybe it wasn't only about natalia.
