LIZ??? ur tags (re: novel) under my post who gave u the RIGHT wtf. i need Boyfriends Buck and Eddie like yesterday actually bc yeah buck would be so sweet and so gushy and he’s such a glass-closet hopeless romantic (like ppl probably know or assume a little in theory but nobody really gets the full extent) but eddie would probably definitely pull him in and kiss him senseless. its funny bc i think buck wants to “do it right” with eddie by taking him out and showing him how much he’s loved but eddie i think also wants to “do it right” by giving it his all and finally finally getting to love and be loved by buck after years of pining i just think eddie’s definition of showing buck how much he’s loved may or may not involve christopher being out of the house💀
I'M SORRY I'M A LITTLE UNHINGED TODAY but YEAH EXACTLY like.............. it's always my headcanon that buck's been with guys before but eddie hasn't. so like? buck has this (possibly misplaced) sense that yeah! he has to do right by eddie! he's gonna woo the fuck out of him and make it perfect because they've been wanting this for so long and he needs to do it right!
but eddie has been chasing that dream of perfection his whole life (trying to make a family work with shannon, trying to make a relationship work with ana) that he just....... wants buck. he doesn't want to think about it (overthink about it). he just wants. and yeah he appreciates how fucking sweet his boyfriend is but also he is a 34 year old man, buck, kiss me like you mean it.
and yeah ok it could get a little angsty or! it couldn't! because all it takes is a little nudge to get buck and eddie on the same page and assurance from eddie that it doesn't matter if buck, quote, "does it right" because it will ALWAYS be right with buck, because it's buck.
and, yeah. buck gets with the program prettyyyy quick. (and gives abuela thank you flowers for watching chris overnight the next time he sees her.
eddie: it's literally just sunday dinner. why did you bring flowers. you're here every week and you're already helping her cook.
buck: just because you don't want romance doesn't mean no one else in my life deserves to be wooed!
eddie: please don't talk about wooing my grandma
buck: ;))
