Maddie: *Handing him a mug of hot chocolate* Okay, spill. Why do you have that "My goldfish ran away from home" face on?

Buck: Me and Tommy have been on opposite shifts for like 3 weeks now. I just miss him and I'm trying to not act out about it. I actually considered driving to the LAFD Air Base and starting a trashcan fire in the parking lot. It's either that or sending him notes made with letters cut out of old magazines.

Maddie: You know, I’ve got a whole box of old positive pregnancy tests in my bathroom cabinet. If we hurry, we could get to FedEx before closing and have him in a panic by noon tomorrow.

He took Eddie to common interest spaces because they were the same person. Buck and Tommy were more opposites attract in that sense, atleast how theyre laid out narratively.

Also tommy did ask him out on a public date to start and it crashed and burned because Buck understandably needed a bit more time before his radical self acceptance activated. So yes, more lowkey "with one another only" dates for a bit make sense.

Also Buck "I booked a hot air balloon ride to woo Abby" Buckley also did not take Tommy on any significant dates that we know of.

Buck: *Loudly* Woah! What is that?!

Eddie: This is an aircraft hanger, Buck. You know that’s a helicopter.

Buck: *Regular Volume* I saw an Instagram Reel that said if you look confused enough in a cool place, hot and nerdy dudes will just flock to you like flies.

Eddie:

Buck: And I’m trying to land a hot pilot husband. I can’t keep being the only smoke show in the relationship!

Eddie: Is that really your priority, right now?

I wonder if the voice ever changed, Bobby's, Eddie's, maybe for a short while, Tommy's.

I wonder if he has anyone talking him through right now, or maybe its just 6 words over and over "They are gonna need you, kid."

Maybe thats all thats keeping him going, good big brother, good friend, good little brother, a shoulder to lean on.

Maybe there's no voice telling him to look at his own wounds at all anymore.

Eddie: Oh, no, I’ve just been busy with work and adjusting to raising a teenage Christopher and also with dating my dead wife that wasn’t dead anymore.

Tommy: Okay, what? That’s a lot to unpack. What do you mean your undead dead wife?

Eddie: Don’t worry about it, okay? Buck is so perfect for you and I'm so happy for you! You both deserve a win in this department.

Tommy: Do you actually mean that?

Hi Nonnie,

So, I do not think they cared about one another specifically when the relationship started. I think at the beginning Tommy cared for Eddie and Buck was a good thing that came along at a good time. At the Beginning, I think Buck liked Tommy for being his Bi awakening and Being Cool.

But they both did grow to care for one another. Do I think they were full on in capital L love? No. Not yet.
