I truly honestly adore the concept of buck being such a caretaker in his life. I think he spent so much of his childhood seeking to be cared for that it ignited this need to give all the love he wasn't given, and i believe it started to burn brighter when maddie came back into his life and she became somebody he could look after now that he was all grown up (!), but of course his job essentially lets him take care of people too, you see this a lot in how he is often asked to be the one to talk to the people to calm them down or distract them. And then there's the elephant in the room. He takes care of eddie (and chris!) like he's getting paid to do so. He cooks for everybody at the station but those real homemade meals he makes for eddie and chris are his specialty, he watches eddie like a hawk for any kind of difference he may notice in his behavior. Eddie looks tired today. Is he sleeping well? I should read up on how to improve your sleeping habits. I should start planning our meals for the week while i'm at it too! He loves taking care of his eddie :)
