I agree with all of this, "hope this helps" 🤣🤣. It would not be cheating at all and even if it was cheating I still wouldn't care 😅. Where do you sit on this topic?

Q. Let me start by saying I desperately want Buddie together but I have a growing suspicion that they're going to insinuate or outright show that they kissed at the bachelor party and that would taint them from go for me because putting them together through cheating, especially on a character the show established had turned into a really good guy, is so unnecessary and disgusting and ruins them right off the bat.

A. I wasn't going to reply to this ask but I have several similar asks currently sitting in my inbox so I'm going to respond even though this person is clearly a tommy trying to pretend to be a Buddie. How are you all still so bad at all of this nearly a year on? Your ask is a completely disingenuous take. If having them kiss at the bachelor party ruins them from the start for you then you don't 'desperately' want them together. You don't want them together at all and I don't know why you feel the need to pretend that you do. When the bachelor party takes place Buck and Tommy had been on ONE very bad date. Yes, they had a conversation where Buck said he wanted to try again but they were not a couple. You can't cheat on someone you've had one date with. Furthermore the show definitely didn't establish that Tommy had become some stand up remarkable human being, that is laughable. He was a sexist racist when they needed him the first time around for Chim and Hen, and he was a gay man the second time around when they needed someone for the coming out storyline. That's it. The show didn't care to establish anything else about him. The fact he left Buck standing on a curb after he understandably panicked a bit during their first date and then told Buck Abby went crazy when he dumped her pretty much illustrates though that he wasn't a great guy.

Forcing real life moral codes onto fictional characters is always a recipe for pain though. You can't do that. The very nature of the media they exist in doesn't allow for real life moral rules to always be followed. Real life people don't always do the right thing. Expecting fictional character to do so is ridiculous. Drama comes from their mistakes so television shows will always have them screw up and make bad decisions every now and again. I don't want them to have kissed at the bachelor party because I don't want their first kiss to be a flashback, but I won't be terribly bothered if that is the route they take because it's not that big of a leap to make. They made a point of making both of them drunk, Oliver mentioned in an interview while talking about filming the karaoke scene that everyone needs a little liquid courage now and then. They made a point of releasing the deleted scene with Eddie telling Chris about how he met Shannon and what he liked so much about her when they first met. The show then intentionally had the bachelor party mirror that story with Buck talking all night long and showing how close and intertwined they both were all night long. The karaoke song even fit the callback of that story from Eddie. We also cannot ignore the fact that Eddie basically blew up his life following the bachelor party so going back and showing that something did indeed happen between the two of them that night would not be some astronomical story leap. I have said from the beginning they filmed way too much content and spent way too much money for those scenes to just never come up again or be shown. I don't think we're getting the actual karaoke scene but I do think we might get some of the other scenes in a flashback of some kind but we don't know that for sure. That New Year's Day post was definitely an intentional choice and it was certainly an interesting choice, but it doesn't necessarily indicate anything bachelor party related is coming. It could just be one more thing to add to the growing belief that Buddie is very much coming though.

Lastly, even if Buck and tommy had been in a full blown years long relationship and the show had Buck and Eddie get together by cheating on him I still wouldn't care or be angry. They could murder him, chop him up and dispose of the body and I would call it the most romantic thing ever. I genuinely don't care about him at all. Hope this helps ☺️

Thank you Nonny! 🤗

As for where I stand on this topic?

Listen, I grew up on soap operas where everyone cheated on everyone.😋 It never bothered me. In fact, it brought some extra tension and I love that in a show. So I don't really care one way or the other.

But also, Tommy wasn't his boyfriend at that time. They were trying things out and so far Tommy had proven himself to be a bit of an ass. So no, if we find out that Buck and Eddie kissed or made out during that bachelor's party? I will cheer.🙌🙌🙌

I've been here since te beginning. They need to get this show on the road and if this is the way they have chosen to go? I'm fine with it.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I just want to point out this part of the article in TVLine about 8x05. Everyone is still very much wondering what caused the boils in Buck's face and Tim's answer here seems clear: It truly was a curse.

Which should not be surprising. We have seen in Lone Star 2x03 that ghosts are real and while that could be explained by Owen and Hen hallucinating when they were running out of air, it was reinforced when Tommy Vega worked through her grief for Charles in season 3. So, there is some kind of supernatural theme to the whole show, for some reason. EDIT: And we had that ghost call 9-1-1 at one point in the OG series, too. The guy who had falle off a cliff in season 2!

So, in short, Tim sees this as Buck truly being cursed and breaking the curse at the end.

(That also might explain why no one aside from Tommy and Eddie really reacted to the boils in Buck's face except for the nurse in the hospital later. There was no question about Buck being able to work with a potentially infectious skin reaction by anyone. I guess Hen, Chim, and Bobby (who have been shown to believe in curses in the past) probably believed Buck about the curse and didn't send him back to the hospital for that reason.)

Pain goes by when you just don't think about it.

When Buck was a kid, he used to love thunderstorms. He used play out in the rain, his clothes weighing him but never slowing him down. The puddles erupting beneath his feet, Maddie at the door, shaking her head with a fresh set of clothes and a dry towel in her arms waiting for him. The warm cuddles with his sisters were his favorite part though.

The love for rain somehow never left Buck, even if his sister did. Or more like stayed back. Each time he got caught in a rainstorm, it was as if a piece of his childhood was hitting him, one cold shard at a time.

[A/N: Ok, context. This is actually a flipped POV of my fic and it kinda needs context. Okay, needs a lot of context but it's most just Evan pining over Tommy. I'm gonna leave a link below if you wanna read.]

A sharp pain radiating from his leg derailed Buck's train of thoughts. Ever since his leg got messed up and he basically died, all of the joy in rain turned into a bone deep fear of thunder. All the pleasant dreams turned into chilling nightmares. Typical.

When his leg first acted up with Tommy, it was, for the lack of a better word, bad. Poor Tommy had frozen like a deer in headlights. They had a bit of a learning curve regarding Evan's injury but once Tommy got the hang of it, as soon as Buck showed even a slight bit of discomfort or pain, he was all over him. Medicine, hot water bottles and Evan's favourite, cuddles and kisses. He needed cuddles and kisses right now.

Too bad Tommy was in the other room. As soon as Evan had shown up on Tommy's doorstep, he knew that this was a bad idea. I mean, who goes to their ex when they have a problem. Evan Buckley, that's who. But Tommy. Tommy who hugged him, Tommy who brought him inside the house, dressed in new clothes so that Buck didn't get cold. Tommy who dried his hair, oh so gently, it reminded him of his sister, making his eyes well up again. Tommy who brought him cocoa. Peak heartbreak drink, Evan, Tommy once told him. Tommy was that kind of person.

Also the kind of person that made Evan want to spill his guts out to. Tommy could ask him about his social security, his bank details and Buck would give them to him without hesitation.

Within literal minutes of Tommy hearing about Maddie, he had already hired a private detective, or technically called in a favour. The speed at which the detective was able to deduce his identity was terrifying and made Buck feel really unsafe.

Obviously within 5 minutes on learning about Buck's situation, he was already making solutions. Buck was almost feeling better about Maddie. Almost. Okay, he really wasn't.

He really appreciated Tommy's help but it was time to leave. Seeing Tommy brought back all kinds of emotions and Evan couldn't even bake without intruding Tommy's space. And clearly Tommy didn't feel the same way. Friend? Ew.

Each step was heavier than the last when Tommy's voice called out. He tried to extinguish the small glimmer of hope that had bloomed in his chest as he reluctantly accepted Tommy's offer to stay at his house. He made some really great points, okay?

He felt terrible for intruding Tommy's space, especially when both of them were 'healing'. Buck wasn't doing very good at that. Cooking had become kind of therapeutic for him so offering was for purely selfish reasons. Seeing Tommy blush was one of them.

No. Bad Evan. What did he need to do again? Oh right, cook. Tommy's kitchen had literally everything. Some sort of fancy oven with lots of buttons. A fancy kettle. Polished granite countertops. And the fact that Tommy had done almost all of it himself.

The first time Evan had seen the kitchen, he had fell in love with it. He knew where everything was by heart. He could even say he could navigate the kitchen better than Tommy.

Tommy's usually stocked pantry was bare. It look really neglected. Evan felt horrible. Maybe he could send Eddie to check up on Tommy. No, he's already got a lot on his plate. Maybe Chim, after his sister is safely found and accounted for.

He didn't know what Tommy was doing, but there were a lot of rustling sounds and him moving around. Finally, he caught Tommy in the living room, staring at him. The pain and sorrow in his eyes made Evan want to hug him and never let go.

Evan had cooked plain spaghetti with alfredo sauce. It was all he could pull up at such a short notice with limited supplies but Tommy devoured it like it was his last meal on Earth.

As much as Buck wanted to talk, having the same easy conversation with Tommy as he usually had was much more difficult now, so he remained silent. Despite living away for so long, they moved in tandem. Tommy washing, Evan drying. The distance between them had shrunk, and silence between them had grown a bit comfortable.

Tommy walked him to the bedroom, for some reason. Seeing Tommy take him on at his most desperate, without ever voicing a single discomfort, pulled something out of Buck.

"Thanks for all this. For dealing with me." Evan did not know what possessed him to say this, but he meant it. He knew he could be exhausting and he knew sometimes it was better kicking him to the curb.

"Evan, you aren't too much. Just, I, I don't know,-" Tommy was frustrated, Evan could see it on his face.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Evan cut the conversation short because he knew whatever sentence would come out of Tommy's mouth, it would ruin Evan.

So this is where he was now. Clutching his leg in pain because of how bad it was. He wanted to call Tommy, maybe ask him for some pain meds. He reached for his phone when he almost knocked over a glass.

Confused, he turned on the flashlight, turning it towards the nightstand. A small smile crept onto his face, despite the pain. Of course, Tommy was thoughtful enough to leave him some pain meds. The thought brought a tear to his eye, which may have just the pain.

Evan gulped down the medication, flushing it down with some water. It didn't show it's effect immediately but at least he'd be able to sleep now.

"Evan. I know your leg acts up sometimes when it's cold. If you need me to get a hot compress or a hot water bottle, I can do that. There's meds on the table too." Tommy's soothing voice called out from behind the door.

Evan froze, not knowing what to do. Part of him wanted to open the door, let Tommy in. Realistically he knew he shouldn't. He was the dumbass who went to his ex in the first place.

He silently crawled out of the bed, limping towards the door. This would mess up his leg in the morning.

He slid down the door, tucked a pillow under his leg and leaned against the door. He really really wished Tommy was against him right now. His mind wandered towards the times he'd massage Evan's leg whenever it got bad. Good thoughts and meds made him drowsy really fast and he fell asleep, leaning against Tommy on the other side of the door.

Just Let Me Adore You (BuckTommy) - 6/9

Summary: What if…instead of Chimney taking the role of interim Captain of the 118, Tommy is asked to take on the role.

Or, what happens when Buck meets Tommy in S2

Words: 4.3k

Notes: Title from Adore You by Harry Styles

Read on Ao3

Part One - Part Two - Part Three

Part Four - Part Five

Part Six

Had someone bothered to tell him that Tommy was coming over, Buck would have cleaned himself up some. At least he’d managed a shower the night before — and boy had that been an effort that took way longer than Buck had expected it to — so he didn’t smell horrible, but he would have made some effort to not look a total mess. Tommy, of course, had to look incredible.

Unlike everyone else, Tommy didn’t rush through the visit. Buck understood that everyone was busy and that they had work and other things, but aside from Maddie and Bobby — when he arrived with ingredients to make Buck lunch or dinner and on one memorable morning breakfast — everyone else stayed an hour or so and then they were gone with promises to return soon. He didn’t blame them, but being on his own really was starting to feel lonely.

After the initial inquiries, Tommy didn’t even bring up his leg or ask about what the doctors had said, maybe even aware that for Buck the topic was a bit sensitive. He didn’t even press Buck to take more pain meds when he caught him wincing. He did get up to get Buck into a more comfortable position and his hands kinda just lingered over the cast afterwards and Buck wished that he could actually feel his touch.

Tommy told him about going back to the 217 and about a few of the calls he’d been on since. It was nice to hear Tommy’s voice and to hear about air support. As curious as he was, Buck didn’t want to bring down the mood by asking about why Tommy had been kept from flying for a time.

When Buck’s stomach growled, Tommy even took it upon himself to order them some food and he ate with Buck right on the couch. He even insisted on cleaning up afterwards including any other clutter in Buck’s kitchen despite Buck arguing for him to leave it.

Tommy was also the first to offer to rearrange Buck’s apartment so he could get around easier and so he could have his bed down on the first floor. Buck had thought about it, but it seemed like such a hassle and he had almost convinced himself that he was fine on the couch. It was starting to not be fine, but Buck could still manage, even if it did leave him with sore shoulders and an aching back whenever he managed to sleep for more than an hour or two.

“Look, I can tell you don’t want me to bother, but you can’t recover on a couch,” Tommy said. “Not when it will be weeks before the cast comes off and even then you’ll probably still be on crutches or capable of going up or down those stairs. One day, you’re going to be tempted to go up there and it will not end well.”

Maddie had said the same, but she’d wanted him to go stay with her, so she hadn’t tried to offer to make Buck more comfortable in his own apartment. She was probably even banking on Buck getting sick of the couch and asking to stay at her place. Buck was not going to do that.

So, then Tommy had made a call and thirty minutes later Eddie and Chim arrived and between the three of them Buck’s entire apartment was rearranged. The bed took the place of the couch and because it would be too cluttered otherwise, the couch was moved upstairs. Tommy even rearranged where his table sat so he had more space to move around with the crutches and so that Buck could actually use it too.

“Honestly, you should have asked one of us to help you with this days ago, Buck,” Chim said.

“Maybe someone should have offered,” Tommy muttered and Buck figured it wasn’t meant to be heard. Something about it sent a thrill through him.

Tommy was just that considerate and that concerned about Buck and Buck didn’t think that anyone had ever really shown such a level of care as Tommy did. At least, not someone that wasn’t Maddie.

“Now, this looks a lot better,” Tommy said when they were done.

Chim went out to pick up food for the four of them, so he found himself sitting on his bed with Tommy at the foot of it and Eddie in the armchair.

“It was a good idea,” Eddie said.

“Thank you,” Buck said, aiming it at Tommy.

“So, how are you feeling about your probationary period coming to an end?” Tommy asked.

“Pretty great,” Eddie said. “I think I finally made my parents understand I’m not going with them back to Texas.”

“Was that on the table?” Buck asked.

“According to them,” Eddie said with a shrug. “It’s like they can’t acknowledge that I’m an adult or that Chris and I can be happy here.”

“Will you be there?” Buck asked Tommy. “At the ceremony, I mean?”

“If I’m not on shift.”

When Chim arrived, they moved to Buck’s table and Tommy helped Buck sit, placing another chair for his cast to sit on.

“Thanks,” Buck said and received a smile in return.

A few days later, Tommy came back. This time with bags of Chinese food and the intent that they continue their movie education. He didn’t even care that he’d need to sit on Buck’s bed to watch the movie. Buck kinda liked it, wanted it to be because of different circumstances.

Buck hadn’t forgotten about his attraction to Tommy, or even about what he’d been researching before the bombing. Having Tommy around put that right at the forefront. It hadn’t helped matters that during Eddie’s ceremony, Tommy had arrived a little late but in his formal uniform and Buck had almost toppled out of his chair because of it.

It was bad how much he wanted Tommy around, how every time Tommy left he wanted him to come back and couldn’t wait until the next time it was Tommy knocking on his door. He was actually genuinely disappointed when he opened his door to anyone that wasn’t Tommy and that…well, he’d had to really think that through.

It went on that way for weeks. Tommy was over at least twice weekly always with food or snacks and another movie. A few times they did play board games for a change of pace. Tommy was really good at Scrabble, as it turned out. Twice on movie nights Buck fell asleep right on his shoulder and Tommy didn’t seem too bothered going by how Buck always woke up with his head still secured to Tommy’s shoulder and sometimes Tommy’s arm supporting him so he didn’t slip down.

Buck didn’t know what to make of it, other than to love the level of comfort that he received from Tommy. He just made Buck feel better even when he was having a bad day. It helped that Tommy kept things light. He talked about work a bit, filled him in on his renovations, and when he knew that Buck had gone for a doctor’s visit he asked about it casually and Buck found himself telling him everything about it and the choices that Buck was given about what to do next. With Tommy there was no reason to be scared of judgment.

Another surgery or waiting it out. Buck was impatient and he wanted the surgery and how it might speed everything along. Maddie had been trying to convince him not to rush things.

“I just want to get back to the 118,” Buck told Tommy. “If another surgery means that can happen sooner then that’s what I want to do.”

“Look, I get that. I get wanting to get back to doing the job, but an injury like yours,” Tommy paused and looked down at Buck’s leg. “How about you don’t rush it? Give your body the time it needs to heal. You’ll be right back at the 118 before you know it.”

It was the first time that Buck actually believed it. After Ali not understanding why he would never quit being a firefighter he’d had Maddie hinting that maybe he should try doing something else. The single time his parents had called it had been to tell him he should consider another career, granted Buck didn’t think they had ever agreed with any of his choices. His father had even gone on to email him a list of things he could look into and information on how he could still go back to school. Buck hadn’t deemed that it needed a response. None of them understood how much being a firefighter meant to Buck and how much it defined him.

“You think so?” Buck asked.

“Unless you’ve been lying about what your doctor has said, you’ll be back to walking and then back to work once your leg is back at normal strength. Just gotta be patient.”

“I’m not great at that,” Buck admitted.

Tommy laughed and nudged his shoulder. “Yeah. But you also don’t know that the surgeries won’t lengthen the time you need for recovery. And, hey, that also means you can catch up on all the movies you haven’t watched.”

“Only if you watch them with me,” Buck said.

“That’s a given,” Tommy said. “Someone needs to pick the movies for you.”

When Tommy smiled at him, Buck felt himself melting. He liked the way that Tommy talked to him, not just like he understood where Buck was coming from, but like he was expressing an opinion rather than pushing Buck in any specific direction.

“And what are we watching tonight?” Buck asked.

“Tonight, I treat you with The Princess Bride.”

“Sounds interesting,” Buck said.

“I have a feeling you’re going to love it, Evan.”

“Oh. And is this your favorite movie?”

Tommy rolled his eyes, eyes crinkling in a smile. “Nope,” he said.

“Why won’t you tell me what it is? Is it something really weird or embarrassing?”

It had become a bit of a game. Buck had asked if they could watch Tommy’s favorite movie, but Tommy had refused and then refused to even tell Buck what it was. It was driving him crazy even if it was fun to sometimes just list a bunch of movies to see if Tommy had a reaction to them. He never gave anything away.

“It’s not. A lot of people like it.”

“So, then why—”

“Because it’s so much fun to keep you guessing,” Tommy said.

“Oh, is that all,” Buck said and he knew he was pouting.

Tommy nudged him. “We’ll watch it. I promise. It’s not time for it yet, but we’ll watch it when it is and I think you’ll appreciate it just as much as I do.”

“But you’ll tell me if I guess it correctly before then?”

“Yes. Now, put that pout away, Buttercup.”

—

Tommy was charmed by Evan. He’d been infatuated before, but the more time he spent with him, the more that that infatuation grew into something more. Something bigger. Something dangerous. It didn’t help that Evan was always flirting with him. Tommy wasn’t even sure if Evan was aware of the flirting, or how much Tommy was allowing himself to flirt back. He’d also caught Evan checking him out, and yet Evan never said anything. Then again, Tommy didn’t bring it up either. On the nights when mid-movie Evan fell asleep right on his shoulder, Tommy lost himself in watching him sometimes. He really was in trouble.

Tommy had his reasons. Mostly, the fact that Evan had been recently broken up with, the fact that Evan had more things to focus on like his recovery, and how Tommy didn’t want to tear apart the friendship they’d built if bringing in his feelings went the wrong way.

Not that it made any of it easier in any way. Evan was still Evan and Tommy didn’t think he would ever find someone that made him feel the way that Evan did. With all the time that he was spending with Evan, it wasn’t like Tommy even had the time to find anyone to date or hook up with even if he’d wanted to.

A few days after Evan’s cast finally came off, Tommy arrived at Evan’s house just in time to run into Maddie as he got off the elevator.

“Oh,” she said. “Hi. I don’t know if he told you, but I think he has a date? I know you were keeping him company a lot so maybe it’s not a good night.”

Tommy didn’t know her too well. He’d only seen her a few times, but never for long. Somehow, they had managed to not cross paths too often even though Tommy was over at Evan’s any chance that he got.

He and Evan had agreed that they could go out for dinner as soon as the cast was off to celebrate and have a change of scenery, but maybe Evan had forgotten. Maybe he’d gotten a better offer.

“Maybe he double booked himself. Got excited about getting out of the cast?” Tommy asked.

He felt like his heart had dropped into his stomach, that it might make it all the way down to his feet and out of his body. Tommy had just…he’d been excited about going out to eat with Evan.

“Maybe,” she said, but looked dubious.

“I’ll go see him, anyway,” Tommy said. “Even if just for a few minutes.”

“Okay,” Maddie said. “Oh, and Tommy, I’ve wanted to say thank you. You’ve really kept his spirits up and made all of this easier for him.”

Tommy knew his cheeks were heated. He ducked his head. “It’s nothing.”

“No,” she said. “It means a lot.”

When he knocked on Evan’s door, Evan opened it almost immediately. He looked good. He was wearing pants for once and he’d put on a blue shirt that brought out his eyes. Evan looked like he’d even bothered to shave and put on cologne, definitely date behavior. So, maybe his sister wasn’t wrong. If he had gone and broken his own heart over this boy then Tommy really only had himself to blame.

Evan smiled as soon as he saw Tommy. He held himself up by leaning on the doorframe, but both his feet were on the ground.

“Hi,” Evan said. “Come in. Come in.”

“I ran into your sister,” Tommy said as he stepped in.

Evan wasn’t using his crutches, though Tommy knew he was supposed to be. Instead he kinda moved gingerly across the room to where his shoes sat.

“Yeah…she stopped by for a bit,” Evan said. “Anyway, where did you say we were going?”

Evan sat down on a chair and started putting his shoes on. He looked up and when their eyes caught, he smiled. He didn’t have a date like his sister had assumed. All of this…the way that Evan looked, it was because he was having dinner with Tommy. Or maybe, it was because he’d gotten his cast off and was going out to eat for the first time in while. Either way, there was no denying how he was filled with warmth because of it.

“Italian place,” Tommy said. “Has really good pizza.”

“Great,” Evan said with a grin. “It’ll be nice to get out of here for once. Let me just grab my crutches and then we can head out.”

“Or, I can grab them before you get hurt again,” Tommy said and did just that.

—

He regretted telling Maddie to help him pick out an outfit. It was just that his time recovering had kept him from being too active to the point where he had definitely lost some weight. A lot of his clothes still fit, just a bit looser than Buck was used to and he still wasn’t supposed to go up or down stairs so he’d needed Maddie to bring him down some clothes that weren’t sweatpants, shorts, or t-shirts. He really should have just asked Eddie.

She’d been needling him about his reason for wanting to dress nicely since she arrived and had tried to get him to admit to a date. God, did he wish it was for a date. Maybe that’s why he didn’t bother to correct her and tell her it was actually Tommy.

Tommy who had asked if he could take Buck out to celebrate not needing the cast anymore. Tommy who had made the time with the cast bearable and who had talked Buck out of a second operation without even knowing he had. Tommy who Buck definitely had a crush on.

By the time that Tommy arrived looking way too good in a henley and dark wash jeans, Buck knew he couldn’t hold it in any longer. He couldn’t look at him and not want to literally jump him, though Buck thought that physically it might hurt a bit if he tried. His leg wouldn’t be back to normal for a while yet, but he’d already started doing some of the exercises the doctor had told him to try on his own. If he had thought that getting to the point of not having the cast was the end of his recovery, he would have been wrong. He still had a ways to go.

Tommy helped him into his car even though Buck could have done it on his own. With anyone else, Buck would have hated it. Tommy was…he was different and his hands were big and strong and Buck wanted him to touch him so badly that he’d take any touch even it was just Tommy supporting him as he got into the car. He was glad for the moment he had to take a breath before Tommy was climbing into the driver’s seat.

“So, it all went well?” Tommy asked.

“What?”

“The cast removal?”

“Oh. Yeah. Perfect. I start PT in a few days. Get my strength and movement back.”

Tommy shot him a smile. “Well, if I’m free I’m happy to drive you to any appointments.”

“Oh. I — thanks.”

“Of course,” Tommy said.

The restaurant was casual but also intimate and they were led to a table right by a window that looked out onto the street. For all the time they’d spent together they had mostly eaten any shared meals side by side on Buck’s couch or on his bed. Buck had never sat across from him. He found that it was even harder to look away when Tommy was right in his line of sight.

“Any fun calls lately?” Buck asked.

“Rescued a couple of hikers the other day,” Tommy said. “They had a fight and they got stuck together on a ledge for almost a whole day. Both were fine, just dehydrated. One sprained ankle. We only got called in because it was the only way to reach them, but we got to listen to them bicker the whole way to the hospital.”

“That sounds the opposite of fun,” Buck said.

Tommy shrugged. “No, it was…it was sweet in a way. Kinda romantic, I think.”

Buck squinted at him. “That doesn’t make any sense.”

“It was like an old couple that can’t help but pick at each other but it all came from love,” Tommy said. “I guess it’s the type of love that makes me believe it does still exist out there.”

“Any luck with that?”

“No, Evan,” Tommy said with a chuckle. “I deleted all the apps and I’ve been spending all my free time remodeling or, well, with you. I haven’t…there is only one person that’s had my attention lately.”

Buck didn’t know why hearing that left him weirdly hopeful. It didn’t help that Tommy held eye contact, only looking away when their waitress arrived, smiling, her eyes lingering on Tommy. And, wait, did she just try to pull her shirt down a bit to show off her boobs? Buck watched as she leaned down to wipe at the table, a spot just beyond Tommy. Watching it happen, Buck hated her a little.

“Can I get you anything to get started?” she asked when she straightened up again, back straight and chest pushed out.

“Uh, just give us a few minutes,” Tommy said and did she even notice that Tommy wasn’t even looking at her?

“Oh. Sure thing. I’ll be right back.” She touched Tommy’s shoulder and giggled.

“The pizza here is great, unless you want something else,” Tommy said.

“I’m good with pizza,” Buck said. “And maybe we share a pitcher of beer?”

Tommy eyed him. “Are you even allowed to drink beer right now?”

Buck rolled his eyes. “I’m really only taking acetaminophen right now. And, we’re celebrating that my leg is cast free.”

“Yeah, alright,” Tommy said.

When the waitress returned, she didn’t even look at Buck. She made a point of complimenting Tommy’s shirt and mentioned how blue it made his eyes look. She wasn’t wrong, but it was weird for her to say it. When Tommy put in their order she didn’t even write it down.

“Oh,” she said, just as she was turning to go.

“Yes?” Tommy asked.

She reached down with a hand headed to Tommy’s cheek. He flinched back.

“You have an eyelash,” she informed him. “I can just—”

“No,” Tommy said. “Thank you for letting me know.”

Her cheeks went pink, but she kept smiling as she dropped her hand.

“Wow,” Buck said as soon as she’d walked off. “So, tell the truth, how often does that happen to you?”

“My eyelashes falling off?”

Buck rolled his eyes. “We lose between one to five lashes a day,” Buck informed him.

Tommy wiped at his cheek and Buck spotted the long dark eyelash left behind. “Missed,” he said. “Here, I’ll get it.”

Tommy held himself completely still as Buck reached over and brushed a finger over it to pick up the loose lash.

“Do you want to make a wish?” Buck asked, extending Tommy’s own eyelash towards him.

“Hmmm, how about you take it,” Tommy said, lips lifting into a smile.

“Don’t know if it works if you’re not using your own eyelash,” Buck said.

“But I’m giving you permission,” Tommy said.

“This is starting to sound a lot like witchcraft,” Buck said. “What if I wish for something and then you face the repercussions because I used your eyelash and not mine?”

Tommy’s laugh was infectious and Buck found himself grinning and laughing along, finger still held aloft with Tommy’s eyelash sitting on it.

“Like, if I made a wish over your birthday cake candles.”

“This is assuming that all wishes come true,” Tommy said. “So what would you wish for?”

“That would negate the whole thing,” Buck pointed out, trying and failing to keep a straight face.

“So then I have to make a wish and not tell you what it is,” Tommy said. “That’s what you’re getting at?”

Buck shook his head. “Finders keepers, and no take backsies, you already gave me the wish.”

“But you say it won’t actually work if you use it.”

“We don’t know that,” Buck said.

“Evan,” Tommy said, “make a wish.”

“I think I will,” Buck said and he tore his eyes from staring at Tommy to look at the eyelash on his finger.

He could make a wish about his leg for faster healing or to already be back at work. Instead, he made a wish for something else. Something he didn’t know that would be attainable. He wished that he and Tommy weren’t out as friends, but that it was a date.

Buck gently blew on his finger. Tommy’s eyelash disappeared a moment later.

“So?” Tommy asked.

“I’ll let you know,” Buck said.

The waitress reappeared then, back with their beer and two glasses, setting them down and immediately turning to ask Tommy if he needed anything else.

“We’re good,” Buck said.

The waitress glanced at him and then turned back to Tommy as if Buck hadn’t spoken at all.

“I do have to ask, are you some kind of trainer? Your arms are really impressive.”

“Firefighter,” Tommy said.

“Oh, that’s really cool.”

Luckily another table called her away.

“Okay, so how often does that happen?”

Tommy laughed. “Yeah, like you don’t have the same experience. She might actually have a chance with you, though.”

“I don’t exist for her,” Buck said. “Maybe you didn’t notice with how she was twirling her hair at you.”

Tommy laughed. “So maybe not.”

“Definitely not.” He braced himself, watching Tommy as he poured them both beer. “I, uh, I think I’m a little bit caught up in liking someone too.”

Tommy took a sip of his beer. “Is that right?”

Maybe wishes were also a little bit like things someone could make come true on their own. He gathered up his courage.

“Yeah,” Buck said and he reached across the table, aiming for Tommy’s hand.

He felt brave, felt like he was taking a huge step. He also knew it was the right one because he couldn’t stop thinking about Tommy and because he couldn’t imagine not being around Tommy. Mostly, because he liked him and wanted him and Buck had never been afraid of going for what he wanted and this time he knew what it was and he was going to jump feet first even if one of his legs wouldn’t hold up his weight because Tommy would catch him and it wouldn’t wind up with him injured again.

Before his hand could make it across the table, the waitress was back. She was smiling and set down a glass container with pepper flakes even though they definitely already had one on the table. So, instead of grabbing Tommy’s hand, Buck grabbed the bottle on the table and shook it at her.

“Oh,” she said with faux surprise. “Sorry. I didn’t think I saw one before. But are you alright, can I get you anything else?”

Buck set down the pepper flakes maybe a little hard. “We’re fine,” he said and grabbed his glass, bringing it to his lips and taking a gulp.

“Good. Good,” she said cheerily. “Just wanted to check.”

HOLY HGCTSHFJCGS

I AM NOT OKAY.

So I'm watching 9-1-1. The wonderful, silly, light-hearted gay firefighter show. So silly. So light-hearted.

I just watched Season 6, Episode 10: In A Flash.

HOLY FREAKING GOD. WHY MUST THEY DO THIS TO ME.

THERE'S SO MUCH TO SAY

IT WAS SO FREAKING GOOD OMG

I'M GOING MAD SO I'M GOING TO RANT ABOUT ALL THE COOL THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE FINAL SCENE.

First things first, you should know that my favourite character is one Mr Evan Buck Buckley. So naturally this is the most invested I've been in an episode since Survivors.

I love the decision to make Buck take Chimney's place so much. The idea that Buck wasn't originally going to be there, but ended up in harm's way in another's place just makes so much sense. Plus, I'm really excited to see what this means for Chimney and any potential survivor's guilt he might face because of it.

I love how it had such a short build up directly before the incident, but still felt like it had been perfectly foreshadowed. It reminded me a little of Suspicion, but that could easily be because I love that episode so much. The space between Buck getting on the ladder and actually getting struck is quite short, but also gives you just enough warning that something is Very Wrong. It focuses on the banter between Buck and Chim, it gives shots of the sky and then the final indicator - Buck himself tells you that things are going south quickly.

Then there's the actual strike. It's so beautiful. It's over and done so quickly, which makes everything much more realistic. There's nothing that anyone could have done, no way for anyone to predict it or prevent it. It just comes all of a sudden, striking quickly then disappearing but leaving behind so much damage. I love that you see it from below, as if you're actually on the ground watching it happen. It's so shocking and you think "Oh my god - did that actually just happen!?" because it was over in the blink of an eye.

A really amazing cinematic moment is the mirroring. Two falls, both falling a similar distance. Buck and Eddie. Best friends. Two sides of the same coin. Two people that would absolutely fall apart without the other. Again, I am reminded of the ending of Suspicion, where Eddie gets shot and falls to the ground then Buck is shot at and saved by being thrown to the floor. Except this time the roles are reversed. Eddie is the one who is fine after the fall and Buck is the one whose life is in danger. Eddie is the one screaming his name and Buck is the one who cannot answer.

This might be my favourite bit of the entire scene: the hanging. Lightning cannot be seen for more than a second, but its aftereffects are so much longer. He's just hanging there. It was almost reminiscent of Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spiderman 2 (sorry if you haven't seen it, but it is a very old movie and a common pop culture reference), although the spinal curve was obviously less unnatural. It was so sickening and impactful, him not moving at all but his body still swaying slightly. It's a little bit gruesome, not because there's anything graphic shown, but because of the implications and where the mind goes.

Eddie's screaming there was freaking guttural. I have to give a massive amount of applause to Ryan Guzman because the acting there was phenomenal. You couldn't see his expression clearly because of the angles and lighting, but the emotion was still perfectly conveyed. I also have to mention Aisha Hinds, because even though most of the focus was on Eddie, her line and the tone in which she delivered it really set the scene and the panic that everyone was feeling. I also loved the different reactions - Eddie ran straight to Buck's side (or as close as he could get), which would tell anyone, even a first time viewer, that he is Buck's closest friend; Hen keeps the people moving, clears the scene and lets everyone work and removes all the potential obstacles she can; Chimney goes straight to work and lets Buck down, being the calm one because he knows that Eddie can't be and that he needs someone else to take on some responsibility; and finally Bobby, completely professional, calling ahead, doing his job first and organising everything possible but also showing how afraid he is and the care he has when he holds Buck as he reaches the ground, saying "Come here kid, I've got you". It's all beautifully written and acted, such an emotionally charged scene.

Another thing that I'm going crazy about is Eddie trying to physically pull Buck up with his bare hands. When he reaches the top of the ladder, he tries to pull Buck up by the rope himself, before telling Chimney to lower it. It's impossible, it's irrational and it's desperate. It wasn't something that anyone thinking logically would even bother to try. Eddie tends to be a clear headed character during emergencies, with Buck generally being the more reckless of the two. But this situation is so horrible panic-inducing that he forgets logic and acts completely on instinct - to get Buck close to him, to help him, to keep him safe. Their relationship is one of my favourite elements of the show, they have so much chemistry and I have been waiting for them to get together since the moment they laid eyes on each other (I'm being genuine here, I shipped it the second the jealousy hit).

And Oh. My. Goodness. Buck is actually dead. His heart literally stopped beating. I know he's not going to stay that way, but for now, as of the end of this episode, Buck is dead. He's in the back of the vehicle, surrounded by firefighters, with a stopped heart. It's madness. I cannot imagine how people watching it live must have felt, to have to wait an entire week before finding out what happened. Luckily for me, I will be watching the conclusion as soon as I post this, but it's such an evil, insane decision to make - and it's perfect.

The final, final thing I want to talk about is the very last image. The helmet. They decided to reveal that Buck's heart had stopped, drive away and then leave you with nothing but his fallen helmet, lying in the rain, with a flash of lightning illuminating the scene. Cinematically alone, it's an incredible shot. But speaking purely about its emotional impact on the viewer, it's such a powerful decision. It really drives the stake deeper into the heart. The person who directed and planned that shot is an evil genius and should be recognised as such.

This ended up being much longer than I intended, but I want to add on my final thoughts, even though I doubt anyone will read them.

I absolutely loved this. The episode before the ending had been good, but nothing special and I didn't exactly love the attempted redemption of the Han and Buckley parents (I despise them both for what they did to my beloved characters). But the ending sequence immediately shot it from a 7/10 episode to a 9/10. I enjoyed it so much, both as a fan of the show and as a fan of cinematography in general. I also mentioned before that Buck is my favourite character. Whenever Buck is in pain - whether physical, mental or emotional - it always has the greatest impact on me. So of course, the scenes where he is in pain are my favourites! That might be why I love Survivors so much, because it goes really in depth into his self worth issues and self sacrificial tendencies. So I will be needing many more episodes with scenes like this, please and thank you. Happening to literally any character.

I decided to give this image its own post so it wouldn't distract from the previous one. I want to touch lightly on this image for 8.5.

When they talked about Buck and things not going to plan, I was worried they would have his head stuck in the pumpkin. I'm glad they didn't have him do that. Sticking your head in a pumpkin is a doofus thing to do on purpose. I'm not in the mood for slapstick at Buck's expense. I'm feeling so protective of my two boys lately.

I also feel some kind of way about Buck being a doofus with Tommy who I do believe will be present in the Halloween episode. There has been a vibe with Tommy, I admit that it may be imagined, that seems to place him as older and wiser in a way that doesn't sit well with me. It's a power dynamic that takes the character of Buck and makes him less. (This was my only problem with Abby and Buck too, and I really liked Abby--until the moment she ghosted him.)

This is not intended as hate toward Tommy, but the way he was written in the Hen Begins and Chim Begins episodes is so problematic. He always had a superior air to him. He accepted Chim only after Chim saved him. He accepted Hen after she gave her speech about being seen. It was clear they had earned his respect, and that was good. However, it was his behavior that was racist. He was the one who needed to earn their respect. I think this is why I'm having a hard time accepting that he has changed, and I haven't seen anything that helps me adjust to him. His change was implied, but not shown with sufficient evidence. I think that is why when I see him with Buck, I keep feeling like he is with Buck because he is attracted and interested which is fine to a certain extent, but I also get that superior vibe too, like he's doing Buck a favor. The deleted scene would have helped with this because at least he admitted that Buck was the one running things. If things go the way some have predicted, I don't think Tommy will be sticking around so I guess it doesn't matter. I do know Tim wanted this relationship to be a positive one even if it isn't endgame. It's been too problematic to be positive. I think I still need a fix it.

If you stuck through the whole post, thanks. I didn't mean to go on so long. As for episode 8.4, I'm still processing it so more thoughts may follow. I do feel it was very good even though it wasn't as Eddie-heavy as many of us thought. It was great for the ensemble. I did expect the moment that would launch Eddie toward looking honestly at himself to be bigger than this episode gave us, but I could still see it, and I'm trusting Tim and the writers to deliver a good story. I'm not going to criticize before he's finished telling it. (Well, not much anyway. ;)

Oh, I'm still not so sure the lockdown for this episode was warranted. It was a good episode for sure, but from the way they were withholding on us, I was thinking something supermassive would happen. At most, I'm a little surprised they took out Ortiz this early, but I'm VERY happy with it.

hellooo, fellow bucktommy shipper (and casual b*ddie enjoyer, if it weren't for the horrors...) here! i really liked your take on b*ddie st*ns and how they are now making super wild assumptions based on some latest interviews.

you know one thing that irks me? somehow nobody seems to talk about is the fact that in canon, buck isn't written to be in love with eddie at all. like, can we please talk about this??? because I'm all for Death Of The Author. OS can talk about ships all he wants but in the end, only the canon narrative matters to me personally. i've watched long-form content with endgame couples being set up in the pilot episodes who become canon many seasons later (bones, castle, grey's anatomy, the mentalist, etc.), and the entire point of such couples is to establish that, yes, they have been having romantic feelings all this time since day one. they do so very very obviously. there is zero subtlety or room for questioning.

one of the most common tropes is to give one or both characters (of the endgame couple) another love interest so that the endgame couple can be full of jealousy and pettiness every time that other love interest is mentioned or shown. having another love interests always endangers the original closeness of the endgame couple, and then the breakup propels the endgame couple forward in their relationship. the love interest is always used for comparisons, to make it abundantly clear that everybody else is lacking in some way. at no point in 911 did they do so with buck and eddie??? these dudes go through various romantic relationships, and never ever has it been any issue to the b*ddie dynamic. never was it talked about. never were hints dropped that one of them is jealous. even now, with bucktommy, eddie shows not a single ounce of jealously. on the other side, look at how they showed us buck being obviously jealous because eddie monopolized tommy's time even though buck wanted tommy time himself! buck couldn't stand the jealousy even a little bit, and he ended up literally hurting his bestie because of it. but whenever eddie is involved romantically and sexually with someone, there are zero signs that buck is bothered or threatened or jealous. they both seem super chill? they do not question at any point that them dating other people might hurt their relationship? logically, that must mean buck's never wanted to be romantically or sexually involved with eddie (and vice versa). at it's core, b*ddie has been written as a friendship. to this day, we have no canon proof for anything else.

i would not hate b*ddie to happen or anything. i do enjoy b*ddie fics (those that aren't super misogynist ♥). and i think it could be a great couple if done well! but as you said, even when buck thought eddie was hot... well, so what? that's literally just an objective observation. RG is handsome based on societal standards. chim and hen also immediately acknowledged that eddie was hot in 2x01, and both of them are Not At All romantically or sexually attracted to eddie either. nobody is questioning chim's or hen's sexuality based on the comments they made about eddie being hot. because nothing about this equals real romantic feelings or the desire to be in a relationship. the fandom understands that logic just fine with chim and hen. why not with buck, though? also, we have yet to see a reversed moment for eddie staring at buck and finding him hot. they had no problem to show eddie Immediately having a crush on ana flores when he first met her. this shows that eddie feels sexual attraction just fine. he was, however, never shown in canon to feel it for buck.

also interesting: even though buck found eddie hot when they first met, it did not trigger buck to seriously question his sexuality at any point in the past like, 5 years or so. in all those years of canon b*ddie friendship, the show has never used the plethora of opportunities to propel b*ddie into romantic or sexual territory. the show could have! but the show never did, so i refuse to let b*ddie st*ns or OS retcon this. if it's not in the canon material, it isn't canon. with tommy, it took only a couple of weeks and a handful of interactions for buck to reach a point of clarity about his sexuality. the most logical deduction imo is that buck simply clocked that eddie's hot (like everybody else, duh, he isn't special in that regard), and it's never meant anything deep.

my only real probem with this entire situation is how hardcore b*ddie st*ns are now using this as a justification to harass others even more (especially bucktommy shippers). i'd love to enjoy canon bucktommy and fanon b*ddie in peace! but the hate that b*ddie st*ns are spreading everywhere again (like with every new season and newly introduced love interest) is so overwhelming.

sorry for the long ass rant btw oopsie. feel free to ignore this. i just wanted to let it out and it seemed like you would understand. anyway, thanks for reading in case you got this far!

I’d never ignore a sensible take, anon! (I feel bad that you had to go anon but I understand. We know the drill by now, some stans are scary lol)

But like, ALL OF THIS!!!

Discourse like this is what takes away the enjoyment of media for me. It sucks that fandom experience can have two very extreme opposing sides, specially when it comes to two “competing” ships. You can kinda tell by how bucktommy shippers behave (I’m not trying to flex at all because I am one. A good majority of us has zero problem with b*ddie endgame even though we prefer the other. We like what we are getting and are happy to see this storyline play out) compared to b*ddie shippers (of course not all of them, I’m talking about the entitled ones. That clog comment sections, bother actors, go to the other ships tag to complain about it and say how their preferred ship is better, etc).

Im not immune to bad takes and bad fan behavior. Ive surely acted like these stans in other fandoms and i do regret it, so i hate seeing it happen again and again, no matter where i go.

Not to quote mean girls, but I wish we could all get along…

All that being said, whichever ship “wins”, it’s no one’s call but the writers and producers of the show. Someone told me that Tim writes for himself and doesn’t take outside factors (at least to an extent cause it’s impossible to not know the fan reaction) into consideration when it comes to where he wants the story to go.

#don’t apologize anon #im not a popular blog so getting a nice ask is always fun to read and respond to :)#lety rambles #ask #911 #bucktommy #tevan #firefly #firepilot #911 abc

It was a only a kiss (how did it end up like this)

Just a silly ficlet based on this anon that @housewifebuck got 🖤

1.8k | Read on Ao3

One of the first things that Maddie had ever taught him when she taught him how to drive was the importance of wearing his seatbelt. Buck had been 16 years old and he had been traumatized by his sister showing him pictures of accidents where people weren’t wearing their seatbelts. Ever since, Buck would quickly put it on as soon as he was seated in any car.

When he was a probie he would always use the belts in the engine, until he realized that he was the only one doing it, and that it usually made him lag a few seconds behind everyone else, so he quickly stopped doing it. That had been years ago, and he didn’t think about it much now, it wasn’t that big of a deal, he had told himself then that he was saving lives and that meant he could be a little reckless with his own.

And, except for the bombing incident - that Buck would argue didn’t count - none of them had ever gotten hurt because they didn’t wear their seatbelts in the engine, so it wasn’t something that they’d ever talk about. It wasn’t that important.

Of all the accidents that Maddie had shown Buck all those years ago none of them had come near as bad as this one was.

It was a normal day, they were heading to a call and chatter around the engine was flowing, everyone was teasing Chim since he had been a little bit of a groomzilla with some arrangements for his wedding, Buck was sitting in his usual seat across from Eddie, Buck’s knees fitted in between Eddie’s, everyone was laughing at Chim’s expense when the truck came to a sudden stop.

In an universe where both Buck and Eddie had been wearing their seatbelts, nothing would’ve happened, Buck might’ve gotten his breath knocked out of him from the force he was pushed forwards, but nothing more than a bruise would’ve appeared on his skin.

Sadly, in this universe, Buck wasn’t wearing a seatbelt.

There were groans heard all over the cabin, Hen had fallen into the floor, and next to her Ravi had hit his head on Chim’s knee. Luckily for Buck and Eddie, they were all distracted dealing with their own pain to notice the position in which they had landed.

It was a very compromising position. The impulse had thrown Buck forward, making him slide to his knees right between Eddie’s legs, while the bounce back had made Eddie fall forward just as Buck was looking up to make sure that his friend was okay. If you’d ask him now, he wouldn’t be able to tell you how it was exactly that it happened, at least not the initial kiss.

Because as soon as Buck looked up, Eddie fell forward and their lips crashed, quite literally, together. The initial kiss was actually a little painful, Buck was sure he tasted a little blood from where his lip was trapped between Eddie’s and his teeth, both him and Eddie were just staring at each other with their eyes wide open in shock, and their lips still pressed together.

Then, Buck saw as Eddie’s eyelids shut close, and then the pressure from his lips was no longer painful, but more of a soft pressure, it took Buck a second to figure out that Eddie was actually kissing him now, his lips had moved to mold into Buck’s perfectly, and now they were begging Buck’s to wake up and kiss him back.

Which he did, for a second, before the groaning and complaining of their coworkers was loud enough to break them out of the spell they had fallen to; by the time Hen turned to them to ask them if they were okay, they were avoiding each other’s eyes, and blushing.

“Yeah, yeah we’re good” Eddie said quickly.

Buck groaned as he got up and sat back in his seat, “Yeah, say that to my knees” he mumbled, and then looked at the poor state of his uniform, completely covered in dirt, the place where he had landed on was a little scrapped but not enough to be noticeable enough that he’d have to get new slacks, so there was at least that.

“Yeah,” Eddie agreed, Buck looked up to him, and found him frowning at Buck’s slacks, “They look rough”

“How come you’re completely clean?” Chim asked Eddie, who shrugged in reply and said:

“Well, I mostly landed on Buck? I didn’t really landed on the floor a all”

“Of course you did”

“Sorry everyone,” Bobby said from the front, “Anyone hurt?”

Everyone replied that they were okay, and soon after they were on their way again, rushing off to save lives.

Buck should’ve stopped thinking about the kiss, he should’ve focus on the emergency in front of him and the people needing their help, but all that he could think about was the soft press of Eddie’s lips on his, and how Eddie could’ve pulled away much much sooner than he did, but instead he had decided to kiss Buck, and turned Buck’s world completely upside down.

It wasn’t like Buck hadn’t thought about it before, he’d had one or two dreams about being with Eddie through the years, but Buck had always thought it was just his brain latching to his very attractive best friend while he was going through a very long dry spell, but he had never actually wanted to do any of those things - Or maybe the thought had crossed his mind a long time ago, but he squashed it right down, telling himself that whatever feelings he might have, weren’t worth the risk of losing Eddie.

“Hey,” Eddie’s voice broke him out of his thoughts, he nearly jumped when one of his hands landed on Buck’s hip, but he soon relaxed into the touch, the same he always did when Eddie touched him, “Are you okay?”

“Yeah,” Buck assured him, taking a deep breath, “Just, oh, a lot in my mind”

Eddie smiled at him and nodded, “I can imagine what about” Buck considered his blush was answer enough “Maybe, huh, we can talk about it? Over lunch? After work?”

Buck stared at Eddie, he also had a nice blush lighting up his face, his eyes were gleaming, while he was smiling shyly, a smile that wasn’t all the way there, like he couldn’t fully smile until Buck agreed to go on a date with him.

Eddie had just asked him out on a date.

They had kissed not even two hours ago, and now Eddie was asking him on a date looking adorably nervous and Buck wanted to say yes, to a date, to forever, no anything that Eddie had to offer, and oh. Oh.Oh fuck.

“How long have I been in love with you?” He blurred out instead of saying yes to Eddie’s question.

Eddie blinked owlishly at him, before tilting his head, and finally letting that beautiful smile of his spread over his face.

“Well, I’m hoping as long as I have been in love with you, which is to say a few years now”

“Yeah?” Buck was sure that his heart was going to beat out of his chest.

“Yeah, Buck”

“Okay,” he smiled, “We should talk about, uh, everything I guess, over lunch, a lunch date, you and me”

Eddie rolled his eyes and squeezed Buck’s hip before letting go and turning around to put away the equipment they had used during the call.

“It’s a date!” He called over his shoulder, and Buck had to try very very hard to not giggle like a schoolgirl.

The rest of the shift was tortuously slow, not necessarily because there wasn’t any calls, overall it was a very normal shift; but every time they sat across each other in the engine and their knees brushed together Buck felt himself blush, and when they had down time at the station, Eddie kept himself close to Buck.

The rest of the crew seemed to notice that something had shifted, but no one said anything, at most Hen kept raising her eyebrows at how close Buck and Eddie seemed to be, Buck tried to ignore her knowing looks but the blush in his cheeks might’ve given him away.

By the time the shift ended, Buck couldn’t wait to get out of the station and get to his date with Eddie. His first date with Eddie.

“Ready to head out?” Eddie asked him.

“Yeah, yeah, let’s go, want me to drive?”

“Yeah, I was just thinking something low key? Like that sandwich place you really like?”

“Ok, yeah, that sounds perfect”

They stared at each other for a little bit too long, Buck still couldn’t believe that he was going on a date with Eddie, and for the look in Eddie’s face, he was also still processing.

“Okay, let’s go” Eddie said, breaking their trance.

They were halfway through the parking lot when Buck felt Eddie’s hand reach out for his and tangled their fingers together.

They had their second kiss against the jeep, Eddie pushed Buck against it, cradled his head in his hands and then kissed him slowly. This was what their first kiss should’ve been like, not an accidental bump, but Buck couldn’t bring himself to hate it or regret it, since it had led them to finally cross the line and get here.

“Maybe we can skip lunch?” Buck suggested, Eddie chuckled and kissed him again.

“Nope, I’m taking you out on a date, c’mon, we can make out after”

Buck laughed, but finally got into the truck. Their first date felt like any other outing they had done before, the staff wasn’t surprised that they had walked in holding hands or that they couldn’t seem to stop making heart eyes at each other, it made Buck wonder if they had all just assumed they had been together the entire time.

By the time they were done with their food, they wordlessly agreed to go back to Eddie’s house to maybe catch a nap before they needed to go pick up Chris from school, Buck noticed just truly how mixed together their lives already were, how Eddie’s house was already filled with Buck’s stuff, he even had two drawers full of his clothes.

“You okay?” Eddie asked him, when he noticed he had gone quiet while he picked up a t-shirt and some shorts.

“Yeah, just, why hadn’t we gotten together sooner?”

Eddie laughed, “Buck, you didn’t know you were in love with me until we accidentally kissed and I asked you out”

Buck blushed, “Yeah well, you knew, why didn’t you do anything?”

Eddie shook his head, “We weren’t ready, I don’t think, we got here when he needed to,” he shrugged, “that’s all that matters”

Buck kissed him, and couldn’t help but agree with him, he might’ve been a little slow on the update, but at least they had gotten here.

This is talking about the two clips that were released for episode six, "Confessions", so spoilers beware.

I love the Madney clip, I've been severely lacking in their content recently and I love that we're getting a little discussion about having more kids. And I think it will bring out a lot of great scenes between the two. Chimney would worry about Maddies PPD and Maddie would go into this pregnancy (if they go that route) knowing what happened in the last and be more prepared. It would be a nice little arc for them to discuss their options. I do have some hesitations about whether they will go the adoption route, just because of the possible conflict it would have between Hen and Chim's relationship, as it would probably go a lot easier than her and Karen's attempts at adoption. However, depending on how they deal with that, it could be a conflict between them that just shows the strength of their friendship, and we might get some Henren scenes that aren't purely about them dealing with their family falling apart.

And here's the big one, Eddie's confessional scene. I think there's a lot to be said that already has, so I won't go into it that deep. However, I will say what I hope to come out of this confession. The priest has been shown to have some pretty good advice in the past. He's helped Bobby through his grief a lot, and reassured him that moving on doesn't necessarily mean forgetting, or failing, those who have been lost. I think these are things that Eddie really needs to hear, and the priest can help him with. However, I'm not fully sold on getting gay Eddie in this episode. I still think it's happening, but I think this episode is going to be planting seeds more than reveals. Eddie's language was mostly surrounding Chris, and how Eddie's actions harmed him. And while that is something that Eddie needs to work through, he's ignoring how it was damaging to himself. Further explained in how Eddie says he put his desires over his son. He's focusing all on Chris and none on himself. I think the priest will help him realize that, and walk him through that.

Overall, I want two things to come from Eddie's confession storyline. One, that the priest can help him work through the grief of both losing Shannon and Christopher. And second, that it's ok to prioritize his happiness sometimes. I think with those two things, it can help Eddie finally start working on himself, healing himself, figuring out who he is (and that he's gay), and being able to bring his son home.

As much as I would love for 9-1-1 to continue on and on, at some point the show will end (😭)

I wonder if we’ll see each one of the 118’s career trajectory before it ends

We know at some point Bobby will retire and we know that Hen is on track to become Captain

What about the others?

I do think Chim, Buck, & Eddie could end up staying at the 118 under Hen’s captaincy if they chose for her to remain at the 118 as Captain as they could do a storyline where’s she’s offered a captaincy somewhere else

If she were to remain at 118 as Captain after Bobby I do believe the others would be happy under her captaincy just as they are Bobby’s

That is one way 9-1-1 could end with Bobby’s retirement and Hen taking over (if Peter stays on the entire duration of 9-1-1)

However that isn’t the only way they could end the story

Chim has acted as Captain before but he did have a difficult time figuring out his captaincy style and dealt with two major tragedies regarding his crew - Shannon’s Death & Freddie targeting the 118

This could have impacted his overall view of captaincy and make it so he’d rather just stay in his current position, I believe when Bobby was choosing an interim captain in S6(?) Chim even said absolutely not or something to that effect

He could also be Hen’s lieutenant (Just realized, unlike in Lonestar we don’t see anything about Lieutenants - so I looked up the rankings, apparently LAFD doesn’t have them and have Firefighter ranks 1, 2, & 3 instead? Interesting… so never mind on that idea lol)

Anyways, he’s shown no problems working under Hen, but he has shown discontent at the idea of Hen not being his partner (when Hen was starting her journey to become a Doctor) so while he may have no problems working for interim Captain Hen, it might be hard for him to lose her as a partner completely

Would that inspire him to become a captain himself? It would be a really good storyline for him to overcome any doubts he may have due to his previous experience as Captain

Or would be ultimately decide that he’d rather continue working with Hen even if they aren’t partners, that would also make a good storyline

I think one problem if they go that route is who becomes his partner? More on that later

For Buck, I do think he could continue as a firefighter and be happy but we have seen them start to sow the seeds for him also to pursue captaincy, such as him trying to be a good candidate when Bobby was looking for a interim captain as referenced above and at the end of season six we saw him take charge of an entire scene and save everyone

And even in this current season we’ve seen him use his smarts to solve a lot of problems

He would make an amazing captain- however he would then have to lose part of his 118 family - not entirely but partially if they’re no longer working together (if they are in fact continuing with Hen becoming a captain trajectory which I’m pretty sure they will)

So if Buck also goes down the captaincy route himself there’s several options

1) Hen becomes Captain of the 118 and he later becomes Captain of another house

2) Hen is offered Captaincy elsewhere and Chim becomes Captain of 118 and Buck becomes captain of another house

3) Both Hen and Chim become captains elsewhere and Buck becomes the 118 captain

That could be a good storyline for Buck, having to accept his family going down different career paths and choosing a career path that’s good for him and helps him grow as a person, not based on trying to keep everyone under the 118 roof and realizing they’ll always be a family even if they’re no longer working together

Eddie though, I don’t think he’s shown any interest in becoming a Captain

When Chim was searching for Maddie Eddie was partnered more with Hen, (and I believe we’ve seen Hen as interim Captain and Eddie helping Chim? might be misremembering that) and this season we’ve seen Eddie work with Hen and Chim

They have been emphasizing his skills as a medic this season as well

We could see Hen become Captain and Eddie become a paramedic and Chim’s partner

I think that would be hard for everyone involved, Chim not having Hen as a partner, and Eddie and Buck not working as partners anymore

If he doesn’t become a full time paramedic, he’d probably remain Buck’s partner as long as Buck remains a firefighter (if Buck does go the captaincy route)

Eddie has also stated the he enjoys the camaraderie of firefighting, not that the Captain can’t be apart of that, but they are held a bit apart from the rest, that’s just one of the effects of being a leader

He’s also shrugged off the idea of being even interim captain, like when he talked about it with Buck when Buck was frustrated to not being in the running

Unless they start sowing the seeds for him to be interested in captaincy as well, I just don’t see it happening based off his current trajectory/attitude

If he does become a captain then it’s a similar situation as Buck above

If Buck becomes captain and he doesn’t, I imagine he’d want to go with him or be a full time paramedic on his team unless #buddiecanon happens and and then they may have to be separated (as this is a show and not real life they may decide they can remain in the same house if one of them becomes Captain even if I’m not sure that would happen irl, idk)

But then if they are separated by the brass and Chim doesn’t become captain I’d imagine he’d stay with Hen & Chim and if both Hen and Chim become Captain then he’d stay with one of them if he couldn’t stay with Buck for any reason

There is another possibility of them all who become a captain remaining at the 118 and ending up as captains of different 118 shifts but I can’t really see any of them wanting to give up A shift or wanting to go have alternative shifts as the others as that would make spending time together as a family outside of the firehouse even harder and losing both firehouse time together and outside of firehouse time together would wreck all of them

I have no idea if the show will end with us knowing what future paths they follow career wise but I think it’s interesting to think about where they may take them if they do
