Life's Short. Talk Fast.

Eddie goes out one night, gets hit on by a cute guy and totally panics and turns the guy down saying he’s not his type, but then he can’t stop thinking about it!

So then he decides to change his preferences on dating profile and goes on a date with a guy, and has his revelation. Eventually starts a semi-serious relationship with a guy (bonus if the guy is just a little too much like Buck), and then he comes out to everyone. Everyone is super happy for him - apart from Buck who is jealous.

Buck and Eddie fight, and Buck says “I thought if you were going to date guys I’d be in the running. I thought I didn’t have a chance cause I’m a guy, but you just view as a mess like everyone else.”

(Buck is totally Bi and dated guys in his pre-118 days - fight me on this! Even pre-Eddie season 1 Buck gives me Bi energy!)

Obviously starting at season 2 cause that’s when Eddie, Chris and Maddie joined.

Someone talk me out of it, or into it?!

As someone who watches a lot of tv shows with will-they-won’t-they relationships, here is my theories for the finale and the beginning of next season.

Season Finale:

- Ana and Eddie break up

- Eddie and Buck have a discussion about their friendship and how much their relationship means to each other. The conversation is approaching romantic but not necessarily there, but they agree to revisit it at some point.

- Eddie has to take a break from work cause of his injury, and the season ends with him, Buck and Chris making holiday plans. Maybe a road trip to Texas or something.

Next season:

- First few episodes we get extra Buddie stuff; nothing out of the norm - they together on calls, movie nights, etc - nothing obviously romantic.

- Before mid season, something happens on a call that upsets one of them (in my head it’s Buck). The rest of the episode Buck refuses to talk to anyone and Eddie is clearly upset. Eddie has a talk with Bobby about Buck and then goes to visit Buck. Eddie finds Buck sitting upset in his room, Eddie sits next to him..

Buck says something about being alone and is crying. Eddie says he’s not alone, he has his friends, his sister, and him and Chris. Eddie says “I love you” super casually and kisses Buck on the head, Buck says “I love you too” and then they properly kiss. The camera zooms out to show a picture of Buddie in Bucks room which is clearly romantic. Indicating they’ve been together awhile.

- Next Episode is called Buddie Begins.

Shows flashbacks to the two of them from throughout the show. Buck meeting Chris, various missing moments after injury etc, Texas scenes after that TK thing in the crossover, one of them coming out to the other (I think at least one of them came out as Bi in High School), Buck meeting Ana and visibly disliking her... so on so fort.

We find out they got together between season 4 and 5, but decided to keep it a secret due to work.

Castle Season 3 final, ended with Beckett getting shot - Castle tackles her too late. While he is covering her while other people look for the snippet he confesses his love for her and that’s how the season ends.
