Yes, I don't really think Buck and Eddie are in a state of mind to enter a romantic relationship with each other. I could see why some people may think so because Eddie had a near-death experience and that can change things, and also because of his quote "Tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, if you love her, tell her."... But, he also has gone through a trauma and I think he still would be terrified of the idea of falling in love with his best friend. I think he'd first realize that he does not see a future with Ana and he hasn't been following his heart. He maybe could have a realization about Buck, but he also is traumatized so he needs to process what happened to him first. For Buck it was also traumatizing, and maybe it could make him realize how much Eddie means to him, but he'd also be terrified of losing him.
Yep. I can see either or both of them realizing how they really feel as a result of this, but the flipside to that is neither of them wanting to risk losing the other by asking for more in their relationship right now. They are both going to be extremely raw and fragile and are going to need each other and need stability and I don't see "hey, what if we jumped headfirst into a brand new phase in our relationship, especially when neither one of us has necessarily been with another man before" being at all a realistic choice from either of them. They need to heal and they need to heal together and Eddie especially needs to live through this/work through the process of once again being in crisis, only this time he's going to have someone stay when he's vulnerable. He needs the experience of realizing that the rug isn't going to be yanked out from under him if he trusts someone like that again and I, frankly, want to see that growth.
