Buck: Honestly, Rav, I’m pretty sure Eddie’s mad at me. I mean he’s even wearing pants when he’s walking around at home.
Ravi: Dude, can you even hear yourself? That’s insane? Why would that matter.
MEANWHILE AT A TABLE NEARBY IN THE SAME BAR.
Eddie: No, I shouldn’t have to tell Buck that I’m upset. I mean, I even put on pants when I was walking around the house. He should KNOW I’m mad at him.
Hen: Eddie, honey, can you hear yourself? That’s kind of insane. How would anyone be able to pick up on that.
baran al-hashimi sleeps with her ex for the last time fifteen hours before she meets trinity santos. it’s stupid, heartbroken and a little drunken but it still means something. goodbye.
at a weak attempt to replicate it elsewhere, she finds sea-green eyes in the middle of some dance floor of a bar she doesn’t care to remember the name of. bright eyes, long fingers, a strong jaw.
when they’re done fucking in some dingy little bathroom stall, baran laughs when trinity pants against her neck, can I buy you a drink? she doesn’t even know her name yet. she lets her anyway.
trinity, surprisingly, is a chivalrous little thing. she helps her get home, holds her hair back the next morning, gets her breakfast when she can stomach it. she just sort of…never goes home.
baran does try and keep her at arm’s length, she knows trinity will lose interest in her soon enough. a recent divorcee with a kid? not exactly a thirty-year-old’s dream. if she can keep her back, it’s not going to hurt as much when she leaves.
she always feels a little nauseous around trinity. just a sinking, bubbly little feeling that sits at the pit of her stomach and threatens to boil over at any second. at first, she just puts it down to butterflies, nerves. trinity does make her nervous, hands always all over her, even when they’re in public.
they officially become girlfriends two months after baran signs her divorce papers. trinity jokes she’s the other woman constantly, which baran doesn’t find funny. she still expects her to leave.
the sickness stays. it’s not all the time but it’s definitely frequent. it’s when she’s constantly throwing up and trinity makes some off-handed joke that another thought ticks into her mind, that another theory comes into play and her doctor brain finally turns on. but it can’t be.
she does the tests herself, curses herself when it reveals what she should’ve figured out weeks ago, should’ve fucking expected after drunk fucking her ex three months ago. two lines. pregnant.
telling trinity she knew was going to be like a nail in a coffin. she might as well just wait and see if the other woman figures it out for herself. she debates telling mark, they’re already officially divorced it’s not like he’s going to take her back, which isn’t what she wants, but he deserves to know. but trinity-
mark doesn’t need to know right now. that can wait. trinity can’t.
she pulls her into her kitchen with a serious look on her face that makes trinity squirm, tells her with the utmost certainty that if she wants to leave she can and she won’t take it personally. she will but she’ll understand.
trinity’s pretty sure baran’s about to reveal she wants a threesome with her ex-husband or something.
what she does reveal makes trinity sit very still for a very long time.
baran explains herself like she’s got a gun to her head. that it was a one-night stand, when she was desperate and heartbroken, that it was before she met trinity, before she fell in love with her, there’s been nobody since her-
trinity takes her hand and kisses her knuckles. baran bursts into a sob and lets trinity hold her, soaks the shoulder of her jacket with her tears.
when she pulls back, she doesn’t run or shout or push her away. instead trinity only smiles and brushes her tears away with her thumb. baran sniffs.
If maekar had been the one to die then egg still would have been king bc there was no way baelor was gonna stay on this earth if his bad tempered baddie died because of him
Athena calling Tommy Buck's boyfriend makes sense because who in their right mind would call their ex to help them with commiting domestic terrorism and who in their right mind would come to help their ex with domestic terrorism?
Toxic couple Eddie and Buck--where Eddie gets insanely jealous, and Buck gets off on it.
They've been fighting, and Buck huffs when Eddie doesn't seem to care that Buck is going to the club with a few of his friends. He doesn't seem interested in going. Just shrugs and tells him to go ahead and have fun. He doesn't care.
Though Buck notices from his phone that Eddie is speeding down the highway, already following him. He sees Eddie's little icon and a racecar next to him. Man, he is GUNNING it. Buck smirks because really. this outfit? In these jeans? In this really tight shirt?
Buck barely makes it twenty minutes into the club, one drink down, and someone is already hitting on him when Eddie yanks Buck by the collar of his shirt and snarls at the guy that Buck is already taken.
He then takes Buck home, one hand firmly on Buck's thigh, until they get inside their house and into their room, where they have some angry make-up sex. It's possessive, it's downright toxic, but Buck wouldn't have it any other way.
obsessed with the idea of buck sitting alone in his apartment feeling bad and terrible and no good putting off calling eddie to say sorry because, well. fuck he's probably SO mad at me. what if i simply do not call him or see him ever again so i do not have to confront the fact that he definitely hates me now and i deserve it for being bad. maybe i should cut off my foot and give it to him. because, you know, he's insane. meanwhile, eddie was probably sat in the hospital with big sad eyes like. Man, i have ruined Everything. and tommy's like, "uh. you got injured? you're in the HOSPITAL" but eddie's also, you know, insane so he's just like, haha. well i deserved that actually on account of ruining everything. a necessary price to pay for my best friend and co-parent buck. do you think he's okay? what if he hates me? will you see if he's okay? i can't call him you see because i feel bad and he might hate me. and tommy is like, well now i feel bad so uh, sure i guess. and eddie's like Great, please tell him how bad i feel. and then next episode buck and tommy are dating and eddie's like. okay, what the fuck.
someone on tiktok said Eddie accidentally pavlov'd Buck (and i'm sure at least some of you have seen this because the video had 22k likes) but i literally cannot stop thinking about it because. he was RIGHT.
so many times when Buck does something that could hurt him or distance/damage his relationship with Eddie, Eddie does this thing where he initiates physical contact and then delivers a line that's something Buck has needed to hear since he was a child.
insane i'm going to be thinking about this for the rest of the week at LEAST
