i love these headcanons where maddie is consistently sending pics of buck to eddie to keep him up to date (see: how he got his phone background). it reminds me of when a student goes away to college, and their parent sends them daily pics of the house pet saying "your baby misses you." it would be even funnier if that is the ONLY way they communicate. just silent drops of buck's hobby of the day or week. and eddie save EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

I just think that when eddie's in el paso him and buck should be facetiming literally every free moment they have. buck cooking dinner at the station with eddie jammed into the spice rack. eddie watching tv with buck propped up on the arm rest reading a book, not even talking most of the time, just eddie occasionally commenting on this episode of hotshots and buck sharing cool parts from whatever he's reading. the 118 get into the habit of just calling out 'hey eddie' around buck because half the time eddie's there. eddie's new team in el paso get used to buck waving at them (and assume he's eddie's husband). sometimes if it gets late they'll brush their teeth and go to bed together with their phones propped on their bedside tables and just keep chatting until they're nodding off, and buck mumbles 'this is nice. we should have been doing this all the time' and eddie whispers 'yeah'
