Just over here thinking about just how much trust is implied in the way Eddie let loose at the bachelor party. And I know this isn't news, that Eddie trusts Buck implicitly, but there's just something so beautiful in the idea that Eddie Diaz—master of control and compartmentalization and putting everyone else first—was not only willing, but eager to let loose with Buck. Even after the safety of the rest of their group was gone, even after Buck had invited dozens of strangers into their space, Eddie didn't hesitate for a moment to let go with Buck because of course Buck is safe and of course he can trust Buck to let go right beside him without judgment.
And there's just something really beautiful in that.
buck asking: where's the fire?? when tommy says he has to leave bc he doesn't immediately think there's an actual fire tommy has to get to despite knowing he's on call. it breaks my heart that buck's reflex is to think tommy is leaving bc he has other plans or maybe he's just tired or whatever non-emergency could take him away from buck's company. oh, sweet bi boy: that man is tired and he's on call but he is here for you (and howie) bc he could be, he chose to be, he wants to be. the last he thing he wants is to have to leave you (and this party for their friend). and then buck learns that there is an actual fire calling tommy away and it feels like the universe is going against him bc everyone else just bailed too - but he's resigned to it.
and then. tommy makes it to the wedding! (almost) he strolls in like a wet dream, he shows up for buck (and howie) bc he wanted to, he chose to, and yeh ok he does look like a kissable beast but i think part of buck's excitement over seeing tommy is that he's there at all. he showed up! he shows buck that he (and howie) is important, a priority, and buck has never had that in a relationship before, a partner making such an effort to put buck first even when life gets in the way, to be there for him, to show buck they care.
