the thing about buddie "versus" bucktommy is that this all follows the classic, seasons long, will-they-won't-they plot structure that we've seen with straight couples in tv procedurals and sitcoms for years

our romantic leads have a deep bond and unresolved sexual tension and maybe even come close to a kiss (👀) but it's always the wrong time and "they're with someone else and i want them to be happy" all while the audience desperately hopes they get together because they're so perfect for each other and clearly in love

there's a blueprint for this and there's nothing to say that buck having one queer relationship with someone that isn't eddie means that's all we're going to get

of course there's always the chance that the writers won't take the show the way it seems to be leading cough supernatural cough or that it won't go exactly as the fans hope (see every show ever since the history of time) but i think so far there's plenty of reasons to believe that buddie is still the eventual end goal

both buck and eddie have had several relationships with women over the past five seasons and that didn't stop us rooting for them to get together. it's actually a really cool and still pretty rare thing to get an unplanned sexuality realisation and canon queer relationship during a season of a show that's been renewed for another season and not right at the end because there was nothing left to lose (see legend of korra)

plus the show has had queer characters from the very beginning (hen, karen, michael) and introduced more over time (david, josh) who have all been shown to date more than one person so there's no reason to think they'd suddenly be worried about rationing the number of queer relationships a character can have
