#all my roommates are cooking fish and the smell has permeated the entire floor so i cant think straight

[chronicowboy]

buck dies. like doesn't almost die he dies completely, good and dead for the entire ambulance ride to the hospital then once again later on. he dies, we know this. so when he wakes up, it'd make sense for him to face his mortality because he didn't really do that with the truck bombing or the tsunami because he was so focused on getting back to firefighting/finding chris that he couldn't face up to the reality of it until it was already over. but this time, he's going to have to face it head on. not just because he died but because his entire family watched him die and sat vigil by his bedside. so he makes a bucket list of sorts not things he wants to do before he dies but things he wants to do to shake things up a bit like what the age of absolutely was supposed to be before connor and kameron showed up. and of course eddie is involved. whether buck asks him or eddie sees the list and is like "okay put me down for the casino but i'm crossing off axe throwing to save you from yourself". so buck and eddie start doing something weird and fun each episode with mixed results (and lots of flirting, eye fucking, intensely homoerotically charged moments, etc). and then eddie starts doing his trial and error dating schtick around the same time. so we get this contrast (bonus points for a point blank, slap in the face montage comparing the two) of these awkward, terribly constricting first dates and the easy, comfortable nights with buck. until eventually eddie's on one of these dates and someone mentions one of the things buck and eddie have done and he inevitably starts talking about buck and he's just like oh.
