I Am A WHORE For The Love Is Requited, Theyre Both Just Idiots

I am a WHORE for “the love is requited, they’re both just idiots”

Firefighter boyfriends my beloved

How much time do we think Eddie and Shannon were actually together — under the same roof — after Christopher was born? Not much, right?

Eddie was home not even a week when Chris was born. Then he re-enlisted after Chris's diagnosis. He got shot, was honorably discharged, and it seems like Shannon left not too long after he came back home for good. Then, she came back when Eddie had moved to LA, but was in both their lives — as Chris's mother and something to Eddie — for maybe a few months (?) before she died.

Shannon raised Chris alone for much of his young life, and then she was gone. And all three of them were together for maybe a handful of months, in total. Chris never had two active parents, for any meaningful length of time.

It's just hitting me that Eddie never actually had a co-parent or a partner before Buck. A role Buck has now been playing for years.

Because this?

And this?

And fucking this?

Is goddamn profound.

I mean, we all have known the facts for a while. But it's just now hitting me how little time Shannon was in both their lives. That Eddie has never before come anywhere near to having what he now has with Buck. That the two of them really have built a family with Christopher — a family that none of them have ever had before.

What a love story.

important question for the buddie fandom: who do you think would make the first move?

It may just be because I’ve read too many Buddie fanfics but I love sweet, soft, casual but loving intimacy between buck and Eddie.

Things like hugging, bumping shoulders, hand holding (hand squeezing), forehead touching, forehead kissing, hand kissing, etc.

Just that casual soft intimacy between two people.
