buck is not going to be pissed off at eddie here, that was made pretty clear with the kitchen scene in tonight's ep. pretty sure he's going to be overwhelmingly worried for them both, and even if he's taking care of chris for a bit (which we have no way of knowing will actually happen), even if he's understandably upset about chris seeing kim, he's going to be taking care of both of his diaz boys and trying to help them both. they clearly are both going to need his support and he loves them.
whenever people are like ‘who’s your favourite character in 911’, it’s like … babe. i don’t fuckin know. depends who i’m looking at at the time. the position of the sun. the wind chill. the precipitation prediction. i love them all. i love them all way too much.
By Eddie going off with Kim, he’ll be able to get closure from his relationship with Shannon. Making him realize that he doesn’t need to find someone to become a mother figure for Christopher…he’s enough for Chris.
if you told the me who sat through bucktaylor saying i love you to each other that a few years later oliver stark would be confirming that buck turning around and “whatta man” playing as he saw eddie for the first time was, in fact, buck being attracted to eddie and not knowing how to process that emotion i would’ve dropped dead like a victorian child after shotgunning an energy drink
christopher is old enough for regular sleepovers and late nights hanging out with his friends but he’s still happy to hang out with buck and that just. chris is past the age of making buck hand drawn cards calling them bffs but that’s still his buck. buck is the only other adult in christopher’s life who chooses him. he’s not eddie’s son to buck. he’s christopher. buck jumped into a tsunami trying to go after him. chris ran to buck when he was upset about eddie dating ana. they held each other when eddie got shot. they go to the zoo together. they bake together. they have nights just the two of them. there’s no way chris didn’t have someone’s house he could go to, but eddie said he was gonna take him to buck’s and christopher didn’t suggest an alternative because he loves him. it’s so special. he’s out of the arts n crafts phase, maybe, but pizza and movies and buck getting tagged on christopher’s insta story next to string of emojis buck doesn’t know how to decipher but that ends in two hearts, well. that’s pretty good, too.
Buck tries the orange peel theory on Eddie but ofc, Eddie is a dad so he takes the orange without even stopping his conversation and peels it for Buck and hands it back without missing a beat <3
