#they’ve literally seen Evan try to eat Tommy’s face

I had a whole thing written and it disappeared. So.

I was commenting on how it’s entertaining to me how there are people who are in the other ship that have this idea that if Buck and Tommy split, it’ll be this dry, no feelings, no harm no foul break.

Have you been paying attention?

Both of these men regard each others feelings above themselves. Tommy with “you okay?”, Evan with “I need to apologize for my behavior the other night”. They care about doing anything the could affect how the other feels. Evan knows he put himself above Tommy on their first date and felt bad. We can extrapolate this further to his apology in 704 when he stated that he behaved badly during the basketball game because he was jealous of the bond between Eddie and Tommy. He cares about the feelings of those he loves. He also cared that Tommy felt out of place in the helicopter with his jealousy of the team.

And then you have Tommy showing time and time again that how Evan feels matters to him. “So that was okay?”; “I’ll try my damnedest to make it to the wedding”; “I didn’t want to pressure you”; “you okay?” (Again). Even in the face of his former captain (someone he probably also regards as a friend) nearly dying, his primary concern is his boyfriend and his mental health.

Which is why I struggle to find understanding in this attitude if they split, there would be this easy break. In what world? We already know they both have abandonment issues. We know that Tommy has struggled with being alone and letting people in, and he’s let Evan in. And then you have Buck being more secure in a relationship than he’s been in a long time, feels safe to truly be himself, regardless. He’s not hiding this person from his loved ones.

So…make it make sense. Tell me how two people that are that invested in one another already, are just going to go “ok nope, never mind.” Like, we passed the casual phase when the wedding happened and he brought Tommy to meet his family. We can infer that they’re sleeping together based on 710. We know that they’re having sleepovers. The point at which we’re at does not at all reflect this discourse.
