buck is like a proud army wife. eddie is no longer in the army and buck did not actually know him when he was but that’s not important. he is eddie’s proud army wife. my husband was in the army. he has a silver star
ALSO a little thing that delighted me was eddie reacting to buck coming back from the loos with a guy’s number (and having charmed the guy so much he bought drinks for buck AND ALL HIS FRIENDS) with a faux-exasperated ‘that’s buck’
because of course he doesn’t mean 'oh that’s buck, the incorrigible flirt’ or 'that’s buck, who can’t keep it in his pants’, because that isn’t buck and hasn’t been for years and years, since before eddie knew him. he means 'that’s buck, a guy who can’t queue for the toilets without charming someone’s socks off’
even when eddie’s pretending to be annoyed about it, he thinks buck is the most charming funniest specialiest little guy in the world
buck calling out that eddie hides behind christopher when it comes to relationships is so funny when you remember eddie asking buck ‘you did this for me?’ and buck saying 'and for christopher!’ as quickly as possible. yeah, maybe eddie hides behinds christopher when it comes to relationships, but you aren’t so innocent yourself, mr. buckley
