You know, my whole thing with believing Eddie fell first and Buck will inevitably fall harder comes back a lot to the way I think people misuse the trope. A fell first/B fell harder for me was never about the actual intensity of the feeling but more about how the characters handle it. A has been feeling it for longer so they know how to contain it better than B, because usually B is hit with it in a way they can't hide it, which I personally think is the most fun interpretation of it all. You can play with canon and say Eddie has been aware of something as early as the tsunami, even if I believe he named the feeling during the shooting, so it's really easy to make Eddie look like he's been coming to terms with his feelings for a while. You can very easily put intent behind Eddie's feelings going back as far as stuck. To be the one who fell first you need a level of awareness of your own feelings that Buck just simply does not have. Sure you can play with the idea of Buck feeling some form of attraction for Eddie since they met, but Buck is bad at identifying feelings, so you can't really give him the "I'm at peace with my feelings" thing as easily as you can with Eddie. Because, personally, I think Buck took what was definitely a crush and labeled it as admiration and never looked at it again, because Buck is scared of defining things because he exists in fear of being abandoned. If he doesn't look at it, he can't want it, if he doesn't want it, it can't be taken away. He has a very specific way of looking at love that will make him never look too closely at what he and Eddie have. But that also means that if he ever does catch up, it will be bursting out of him in a way he can't control. Because Buck never dealt with big feelings, so that would hit him hard. And also because Buck feels things in a big way, so it would take over. If Buck knew, it's not the type of thing you can miss. But Eddie is really good at pretending things aren't there which makes it easier for him to act as if the romantic side of his feelings for Buck won't matter in the grand scheme of things. I don't really think Eddie is at peace with his feelings, mostly because I don't think Eddie has ever felt at peace about anything ever, but also because I think the cemetery made him think no amount of waiting is gonna get Buck on the same page as him and he doesn't want to ask for it and risk being wrong, so the easiest route is to pretend it's not there, even more considering he thinks he's watching Buck fall in love with someone else, so he needs to find peace with whatever he can get. So Eddie doesn't think Buck can feel the same, leading him to not ask for what he wants, and Buck just doesn't know how to name it.
Anyway you should read my Eddie fell first essay.

I soooo wish I still had a copy so I could show you guys the best thing I've ever read in my life but I'll never for as long as I live forget the first sentence "There are many oppressed minorities in America: Blacks, Mexicans, Asians, Emos, Goths, Gays, and most of all, Juggalos."

I've literally never interacted with anyone on here (heavy social anxiety turned me into a lurker before I could even post) but I went through what you're going through with your mom right now with my dad as a kid and it sucks. So. Much. I know there's probably nothing I can say that'll help or make you feel better, but for what it's worth, I'm sorry, and you're not alone. I'd say I'd pray for you guys but I don't want to overstep any religious boundries, so I'll just say good luck. ❤
Thank you for the kind words, Nonny, I'm sorry to hear about your dad and hope things are a little better/easier now. It has definitely been a Week™ (or week+ at this point) on this side of things, and I appreciate the support ♥
The situation seems to be an ever evolving beast, but at least as of this moment I'm writing things seem to be back on an upswing? It's definitely one of those situations that has to be taken one day/one moment at a time because it gets to be a little much otherwise.
