some things fall when they're meant to fall

11k (so far) | rated T | read on ao3 Eddie’s gaze drop to Buck’s lips—pink, like his birthmark. Eddie wants to taste those lips, and he wants it with a fierceness so sudden it shocks him. “I’m, uh,” Buck stammers. “Last night. When you saw me and Tommy…we—we were on a date.” Everything inside Eddie goes still. If his heart is a kite, then this is the moment it plummets back to earth.

or, Buck tells Eddie some news. Eddie has a realization and breaks up with his girlfriend. Not necessarily in that order.

Chapter 2/4 now up on ao3

Eddie is happy for Buck. Obviously. It goes without saying that he’s happy for him.

And look, it’s not like it’s hard. Not when Buck’s been walking around like the LA sun shines specifically for him. He’s got this shimmering halo of excitement around him these days, and beneath that, a kind of deep relief. Like some of the heavy weight he’s dragged around with him his entire life has been lifted.

More than anyone Eddie’s ever known, Buck has spent his life searching for something. And finally, he’s found it.

Not Tommy—although Buck does get a particular blushing grin on his face whenever he talks about him. What Buck has found is something bigger than that. A truth about himself. An answer to a question he never knew to ask.

So yeah, Eddie’s happy for him. How could he not be? This whole year, when he hasn’t been worrying about Chris, he’s been worried about Buck and how he’s been dealing with the aftermath of the lightning strike.

He’s not worried anymore.

And as for Eddie’s own revelation…the realization that for him, all roads lead to Buck, well…

He’s not thinking about it. He’s doing everything in his power to act like nothing’s changed, to act the way the Eddie Diaz of two weeks ago would act. The Eddie Diaz whose brain hadn’t yet caught up to his heart on the matter of Evan Buckley.

“So, there’s a Dodgers game this evening,” Eddie says, jiggling his car keys nervously while he waits for Buck to finish changing after their shift. He rests his gaze somewhere to the left of Buck's bare chest. “I was thinking about inviting Tommy over to watch. And I know you’re watching Jee so Chim and Maddie can work on wedding stuff—”

“Eddie,” Buck tugs his shirt over his head and looks at Eddie quizzically. “We’ve already been over this. I was never actually mad that you were hanging out with Tommy without me. I mean yeah, I guess I felt slightly excluded, but it was more about—”

“Yeah, yeah I know, the giant crush you had on the guy,” Eddie says with a fond eye-roll. There. That’s something two-weeks-ago Eddie would’ve said, right?

if the song buddie sing at karaoke is you're my best friend from queen i will kiss the writers in the mouth because these morons would think it's about just being best friends when it actuality it's a love letter john deacon dedicated to his wife, his best friend, the love of his life.

Hey nonnie’s three!!

I love that song , it’s a fabulous song and it really is a great buddie song.

That being said - in my opinion it’s not the one the show would choose to go with for this, for a number of reasons. I genuinely don’t think they’d go that obvious in relation to buddie for this moment - because that’s what they’d be saying g with this song choice and I personally think it’s going to be more of a song hinting at figuring out your queer rather than in love with you best friend - we’ve not got to that point yet.

Secondly I don’t think the tempo of your my best friend fits with the vibe they seem to be going for with this bachelor party - it’s too slow and on one level for karaoke when they’ve gone all out on drunkenness and lights etc.

And thirdly - it’s a really hard song to sing - it’s in a slightly weird key which makes it difficult to sing, plus the lack of modulation in it also makes it harder to perform (unless you’re Freddie mercury who could do incredible things with his voice) And based on Oliver’s comments about it being a song within his range, I don’t feel like ymbf can be the right song

So yeah, while it’s the perfect buddie song I just don’t feel like it’s the right song for this moment. But if I’m wrong please feel free to come back and say I told you so after 7x06 has aired 😎💜💜💜

Something something about bachelor party buck and Eddie and alcohol lowering inhibitions and therefore allowing them to display the closeness they can’t normally display with one another

Something something about Eddie saying g ‘this changes nothing between us’ only for us to then be shown them behaving very different when inhibitions are not inhibiting - when the truth of how things are changed/changing between them is allowed to exist for a period of time

[stagefoureddiediaz]

that shot with the champagne dripping off eddie’s hands is crazy they did that on purpose

Hey Nonnie

Yup they really did!!!

The cast and crew are just out there going for the highest level of chaos they can, and we’re just sitting here letting them and thanking them for doing so!!!

Subtly went out the window a long time ago on this show!!

[stagefoureddiediaz]

ooooh they're insane for this

[stagefoureddiediaz]

That short glimpse of Buck with his arm draped all over Eddie's shoulders and chest has me so weak in the knees you don't even understand

[stagefoureddiediaz]

no cause the queen under pressure of it all the eddie letting go and his upcoming queer arc and both of them having these feelings under the surface and there are so many pieces that leads me to believe that this HAS to be it

[stagefoureddiediaz]

every new clip and episode from this season so far has had me like “wow what could they do to top this?” and abc goes “drunk buddie with drag queens and madney wedding chaos my liege?” and i explode

[stagefoureddiediaz]

The Eddie having an orgasm at his naïveté being stripped away (the pink) is truly a thing of beauty - costume and writers I salute you 🫡🫡🫡

[stagefoureddiediaz]

Now I have the idea of Eddie inadvertently hooking up with a drag queen in my head and I am cackling

Like - he’s all drunk and opening up about his feelings and how he’s in the closet to this queen and the bam he’s laying one on her - it would be hilarious!!!

[stagefoureddiediaz]

if you told silly little me watching 5b that evan buckley would be openly, proudly bisexual and dating a man and that eddie diaz would be happy and they’d be hugging again and that they’d both be djing and basically in eachother’s laps drunk partying with drag queens i’d have had an absolute stroke idk what to tell you

[stagefoureddiediaz]

What if it's all a fakeout, and the legs are in fact Tommy trying to rescue him? :D

Hey!!!!

I mean this is my most likely scenario of all of them to be honest - it really does seem like a fake out - but I am enjoying the idea that Jonah escaped and is out for revenge because it amuses me!!

but yes - quite how chimney gets into the situation he’s in I cannot wait to see, but most likely answer is that’s Tommy rescuing Chim to deliver him to Maddie!!

[stagefoureddiediaz]

Watch it be tatianas husband behind chimney for shits and giggles

(This is a joke btw)

🤣🤣🤣 that would be hilarious!!!!

[stagefoureddiediaz]

The more I stare at those legs behind chimney the more convinced I am it’s Jonah!!!

[stagefoureddiediaz]

Why are they pulling off Eddie’s shirt - I have so many questions
