BUDDIE-
Gives nose/forehead kisses
buck loves to lean down, kiss the top of eddieâs head whenever eddieâs sleeping or dozing. eddie pretends it doesnât happen just so he can feign sleep. eddieâs desperate for the touch of someone else, for someone to take him in their arms and-
buck knows. buck always knows, and heâll lean in, brush a kiss to eddieâs nose, and eddie will look, see, and itâll be an easy step from there to a press of lips.
Gets jealous the most
eddie. that boy has ZERO chill when it comes to people moving up on buck. he fought hard for buck (even went to therapy) and heâll be damned if other people even THINK-
Picks the other up from the bar when theyâre too drunk to drive
@hearteyesforbuck and i have a headcanon (made today, yes we do eli) where eddie gets super drunk because itâs the only way he can suffer Feelings with buck so itâs usually buck picking him up. (buck gets drunk in the privacy of their own home where they can get handsy without their coworkers or the general public seeing them, eddie)
Takes care of on sick days
eddie. eddie, eddie, eddie. buck wouldnât even notice he was sick. eddie likes taking care of people; itâs how he shows his love. he makes soup (lol he gets abuela to make soup). he goes to the pharmacy. he makes sure buckâs warm/cool/whatever he needs. heâs also overbearing, but buck loves him anyway, and itâs honestly sweet how caring he can be and not even realize it.
Drags the other person out into the water on beach day
i mean, buck has issues with water. BUT, eddie takes buckâs hands, helps him breathe it out. tells him softly to close his eyes, that heâs got him, heâs not gonna let anything happen to buck. he ghosts a kiss over buckâs cheek and buck goes, sucks in a breath at the water, but eddieâs there, eddieâs holding him. he takes a step, another.Â
Gives unprompted massages
buck read somewhere theyâre supposed to help in the long term and honestly, eddieâs shoulders are - well. theyâre amazing. eddieâs got this way of going boneless under his hands, relaxing in ways buck doesnât often see. heâs a little addicted to the unprompted noises eddie makes, the way heâll be soft and ridiculous after, kissing buck with abandon, spreading out on the couch like thereâs nowhere else he wants to be than with buck.
Drives/rides shotgun
eddie doesnât drive if he doesnât have to. heâs probably gonna have to sell his damn truck, so he carpools with buck. on the days they donât share a shift, buck drives him in anyway, leaning across the center console to steal a kiss. eddieâs getting better with pda, leans into the touch and says, âthanks. see you at home.â
âyeah,â buck will reply. âhome.â
Brings the other lunch at work
i mean, bobby would KILL THEM if they tried to bring lunch to work. though lunch is probably the only thing eddie is allowed to make in the kitchen. (âI CAN HEAR YOU IN THOSE CUPBOARDS, EDMUNDO DIAZ.â âSHUT UP BUCK, IM MAKING A DAMN SANDWICH.â âOUT. OF THE KITCHEN.â) if one of them is working and the other isnât, they bring home leftovers and share them at the kitchen table over a catch up, grinning like lovesick fools and trading finger touches and kisses.Â
Has the better parental relationship
i think itâs safe to say they both suck. buck doesnât talk about his parents much, and eddie soothes whatever nightmares come. buck knows the history with eddieâs parents; he knows theyâre good people, but he hears tried to take christopher and makes a vow. eddieâll never have to lose chris, not while buckâs still got breath in his body.
Tries to start role-playing in bed
buckâs got ideas okay? itâs not his fault eddieâs BORING. (Iâm not boring, i just prefer not to have to dress up like a firefighter when i play one in real life, EVAN.) to be fair, eddieâs pretty willing to try whatever comes their way, but no, buck, he is not putting on that hat, stop it.Â
Embarrassingly drunk dancer
eddie is a grade a. disaster. he fails at life. thereâs immortalized video evidence of him dancing at the 118 new years eve party and heâs abysmal. buck likes to watch it from time to time just because eddie trying to roll his hips like that-
Still cries watching Titanic
itâs just that movie but theyâre both affected, and while they donât cry a lot, they do for this. buck canât handle rose being left alone, and frankly, eddie just canât deal with almost having lost his son and buck in a water-related incident. they donât watch it a lot; they learn not to.Â
Firmly believes in couples costumes
chris is Unhappy whenever eddie and buck try and get out of it, but they always cave. a well placed look and a plea in buckâs ear and he caves faster than - well, buck. chris only uses his power for good, like ice cream and couplesâ costumes.
Breaks the expensive gift rule during Christmas
buckâs never had someone (since abby anyway) to spend money on, and making eddie smile is forever in his list of top 100 things to do. eddie deserves everything. plus, buckâs buying for two and if he goes crazy on chris, he canât not buy something to light up eddieâs face like that.Â
Makes the other eat breakfast
eddieâs in a routine with chris and buck both, and buckâs a bottomless pit. if heâs not eating bobbyâs food, heâs eating heated up whatever-it-is abuelaâs cooked for eddieâs this week. his favourite are molotes, which abuela makes especially for him because sheâs always saying para mi dulcito and ignoring eddieâs pout. Â
Remembers anniversaries
buck takes note; he knows when chrisâ birthday is, when eddieâs birthday is, and he knows when he and eddie got together, but the dates easily blend. eddie marks it done, knows it to the minute. sometimes he canât believe he got so lucky and heâs so determined to keep a hold of buck, to not ruin it a second time, heâll remember everything if it means buck will stay.Â
Brings up having kids
THEY ALREADY HAVE A KID.
but buck wants more, wants a huge family. eddieâs not sure itâs fair, that they have the time until theyâre not working so much, in such dangerous jobs, but heâs willing to negotiate. he wants to make buck happy, but he also likes the idea of sharing more life with buck, of giving chris a brother or sister to love.
