Buck and Eddie

"What's up, bud?"

He's nibbling on his nail and Eddie gently pushes his hand down. God, this kid was all Buck.

"Will you help me?"

"With what?" Eddie asks.

"I wanna make Buck a father's day gift..."

Eddie's heart melts.

"Of course I will." Eddie stands and Theo holds up his arms to be picked up.

"We need to get a card, and candy... lots of candy," Theo says as Eddie picks him up.

Eddie chuckles. "Is the candy for you?"

"No," he says, voice guilty. "For Buck!"

"Okay, Theo, we can get a lot of candy."

I'm not over Eddie being willing to kill for Buck. Eddie 'Soldiersilverstarneverdidanythingillegal' Diaz, ready to commit double murder to get to Buck. Holding a woman at gun point like a human shield. Hoarse voiced screaming his name.

This is my Roman Empire.

I will never ever ever be over that. It's my will to survive.

That whole episode was everything to me. Like top episode ever for 9-1-1 for me.

If they can beat that next season, props to them.

The finale actually disappointment so hard because I got my hopes up after seeing episode 13.

He couldn't leave his baby again so he talked to his son.

Also Buck calling Eddie 'jerk' just cracked me up.

and Eddie saying "I heard some dick was being mean to you." acknowledging that he knew he hurt Buck 🥺

Buck's immediate smile seeing Christopher and looking at Eddie like that.

Eddie literally brought his family to make him feel better and apologize. God, imagine they were actually dating and had this fight. It would've hit so different 😭

His face when he sees herrrr. I really need Buck interacting with Eddie's family more. Or just casually texting Eddie's sisters when hes mad at Eddie and wants ammo.

ALSO I know so many people were mad at Eddie for the way he spoke to Buck but he actually had a valid point, hate me if you want, and he never yelled. Never raised his voice. He was hurting too and Buck implying that everyone's distancing themselves and not seemingly not caring that Bobby was gone was a little much just because they weren't grieving the way Buck wanted them to.

Eddie:

Because he always assumed if it was anyone else, his best friend would be the one to call him.

So when he hears it’s Bobby, a part of him is relieved. Relieved that Buck is okay. Relieved that he still has a chance to confess these new feelings that had been swirling in his gut since he got to Texas and spent everyday talking to him on FaceTime, sometimes even multiple times a day.

Then when he hangs up the guilt crashes into him. He sits there on the ground crying his eyes out trying not to wake his son in the other room. Because how could he even have thought that? Being relieved it was Bobby? That man was everything to him. His inspiration. His guide. His father figure. And he was glad it was him?

As long as it’s not Buck, his mind kept repeating.

“Fuck!” He hisses into the darkness.

Because he could lose Bobby. He could handle it. But he couldn’t lose Buck. That he couldn’t handle. He’d spiral. Christopher can’t lose Buck. Christopher can’t lose another parental figure.

He never tells a soul his thoughts. He carries that guilt with him for almost a year. He doesn’t admit his feelings for Buck. Carries those feelings with him for almost a year as well.

Until, Buck gets kidnapped. The dam breaks and when he finally finds him and gets him to the hospital, he admits everything. He pours his heart out to Buck, about Bobby, about his feelings for him, about everything that ran through his mind that night and how it all almost became true again and he still hadn’t admitted his feelings because he was being a coward.

Buck reaches for him. Squeezes his hand and admits that he felt the same way. Admits that he was glad that Eddie and Christopher were nowhere near LA when all of that had happened. That they were safe even if the rest of the 118 wasn’t.

Lmfao, not Buck calling him old. CALL HIM PAPÍ!

Also I don't think we saw them hangout this much when they were in the same city, now they just constantly FaceTime. Not even phone calls.

How much you want a bed they fall asleep on FaceTime together.

That's like full boyfriend vibes.
