I need a Buddie fanfic inspired in "Down Bad" by Taylor Swift's because that song screams Buddie.
Imagine this...
"Did you really make me up?
In a cloud of sparkling dust
Just to do experiments on
Tell me I was the chosen one
Show me that this world is bigger than us
Then I sent me back where I came from
For a moment I knew cosmic love"
Eddie already left Marisol because he realized that he actually likes men, but Buck is still with Tommy and Eddie realizes that everything he wants in a relationship he already had with his "best friend", but now not even that exists and they have to learn to live in this new world where Buck begins to spend less and less time with the Diaz boys.
"Now I'm down bad crying at the gym
Everything comes out teenage petulance
"What if I can't have him"
"I might just die, it would make no difference."
Down bad, waking up in blood
Staring at the sky, come back and pick me up
What if I can't have us.
I might just not get up
I might stay down bad
What if I can't have him
Down bad
What if I can't have him"
The only moments Eddie and Buck spend together now are in the gym between shifts, and as Buck trains, Eddie thinks about if this is all they're going to do now, if this is all he can have from the man he loves.
If the hands that saved him from bleeding to death in a street on LA would only touch him again just to heal some wound, but would never touch him because they really want to.
Buck will never touch him the way Eddie wants.
"Did you take all my old clothes?
Just to leave me here naked and alone
In a field in my same old town
That somehow seems so hollow now
They'll say I'm nuts if I talk about the existence of you
For a moment I was heaven struck
Like I lost my twin
What if I can't have him
Down bad
Down bad
Waving at the ship
What if I can't have him"
And Buck doesn't notice any of this.
On the rare occasions that he spends the night at the Diaz house, he continues to steal Eddie's sleeping clothes.
And Eddie always has to stop himself from shouting how much he loves him, finding relief only when he sends long messages to Hen, who tells him that it's crazy to suffer so much for Buck if he's not going to do something about it, but Eddie can't do anything.
The prospect of losing Buck feels like a piece of his soul being ripped away.
"Encounters closer and closer
All your indecent exposures
How dare you say that it's -
I'll build you a fort on some planet
Where they can all understand it
How dare you think it's romantic
Leaving me safe and stranded
Cause what if I was in love
What if I can't have us.
Cause what if I was in love"
And one whole day, it just...explodes, right in Eddie's face who has to listen (again) as Buck talks one night about Tommy, as he is the first person who, beyond seeing Buck for what he really es, he also loves him completely, unconditionally, and Eddie just can't stand it because it's not true.
It isn't true.
Because Eddie has loved Buck for everything he is for years and he's not going to stay silent again.
He refuses the idea of living in a world where Evan Buckley doesn't know that the first person who loved him with all his heart is Eddie Diaz.
(And we could have an chapter dedicated solely to Buck figuring out his life and returning a week later to his favorite couch because he's not willing to lose the love of Eddie Diaz.)
If anyone writes this, let me know so I can read it and put it on my fanfic masterlist!

I already love Tommy, he’s so nice and confident (which I also think is an amazing thing for Buck to receive first hand since he has issues with feeling like he’s not enough and having Tommy openly show him affection and making the first move will probably help him in their relationship so much)
BUT
I really hope that if Buck and Tommy do not work out, that Tommy and Josh date. Because Josh deserves a man who is not afraid of being gay or dating a man. Josh deserves someone who will confidently date him and show him love and I think Tommy would be perfect for him especially with how he was with Buck, making sure he has the vibe right and still being sure of himself and what he does. Josh has been single for basically the entire show, only having one date end up being a criminal that severely traumatized him and probably turned him away from dating, especially when it comes to strangers. Having Tommy and Josh date seems like it’s just obvious, even if it seems like pairing up the only 2 openly queer men on the show besides Buck (and Eddie?)

Buck throughout 07x4 was jealous of Tommy and Eddie, but every scene always has Eddie as the focal point of that jealousy and that's the biggest thing I feel like most are missing.
Buck likes Tommy, it helped him see that indeed he also feels a sexual attraction to men and he is going to enjoy this whole new side of his life with Tommy.
BUT-
He was jealous of Eddie, of how his best friend (the man he truly loves) was spending more and more time with a man who is not him.
Praising another man, laughing with another man, fighting with another man, being a team with another man.
And that was what bothered him.
Just like seeing how Chris, the only child he considers important in his life (besides his niece obviously), was happily talking about another man in his life was literally driving him crazy.
So yeah, Buck likes Tommy and is probably going to be very happy with him for a while, only to realize that something is missing.
Tommy is not Eddie.
Tommy is not his family.
He already has one.
(Also, I love Tommy because he's going to help Buck be more himself, I hope he doesn't get too hurt after this and finds his own Eddie!)
