Buddie: Return of "The Couch Theory"

Buddie shippers HEARD AND SAW "The Couch Theory" in action last season only for F*X (yeah, I'm blaming them) to have the show end the season by trying to make the audience feel like we were seeing, hearing and/or making things up.

But the truth is it was REAL!

IYKYK the theory started way back in season 2 (linked here) but it was actually mentioned with regards to Buck's relationships in season 6.

Last season, the theory started in 6x1 when Chris said, "Buck, you don't even have a couch" (family, relationship; but he did have one with Eddie and Chris and they were sitting right in front of him) and it continued until 6x18 when it all went to $hit 🙄 after Natalia was shoehorned in as Buck's LI and he asked her to help him find a new one.

Anyway, all three members of the Buckley-Diaz family slept on it in different episodes.

Eddie slept on it in 6x9.

Buck slept on it in 6x12.

Chris slept on it in 6x15.

Please note, they were all in different spots while they were sleeping (Eddie was lying down but his head was on the right side [when someone's facing it], Chris was in the middle and Buck was on the left).

Regardless of what will be said, the return of "The Couch Theory" will be interesting and hopefully with the way everything else has been explained or alluded to in OS's interviews over the last several days, only time will tell if what we already know is validated like the shooting, Buck's first impression of Eddie was and the other gazillion things we've all known were true since the beginning but once again F*X probably prevented it from being included in the episodes.

Now, only the interviewer and OS know what's included in the interview that will be published tomorrow but I'm posting this to prove "The Couch Theory" was/is real, we all saw it and interpreted it the way it was presented.

Couch theory was a season 6 thing 🤷‍♀️!

OS said he's aware of the theory but he thought it was a season 6 thing.

IMO, it seems like TM moved on from it. Reminder, they were still with F*X then and after OS's earlier interviews both last week and this week, we all learned what happened with the shooting and how OS believes Buck first viewed Eddie in 2x1.

Apparently, TM moved on from the theory just like he did Buck’s relationship with Natalia, so he can focus on the end result which is Buddie CANON. If one were to look at all the care TM is putting into Buck’s and Eddie’s relationship by making sure he's hitting the "coupling" (his word from a pre-season interview) in every episode then it's evident where his focus remains.

He's been building their (Buck's and Eddie’s) relationship for 6 years and they have the history to continue to build on and I don't believe he'll just drop it for Buck and Eddie to end up in relationships with 2.0 versions of their seasons 4 and 5 love interests. That would be redundant. Eddie and Maris*l and Buck and T*mmy don't have any substance or history just like BuckTaylor and EddieAna didn't, so there's that.

But that's my interpretation and observation of the tone included in all the OS interviews that have been released. (He can't just say BT bones the same way he couldn't say it about Buck and Taylor because if he does, then it will spoil everything TM, OS and RG are working on).

Everyone has their own interpretation along with their own opinion so this post isn't trying to convince anyone of anything.

People can ship whoever they want but I always have and I always will ship BUDDIE!

I ONLY SHIP BUDDIE!

There’s just something about Chris telling Buck of all people that ladies “just end up leaving anyway” that has me thinking things. His mother left Christopher when he was younger so it was always just him and his father. Then she came back only to leave permanently when she died. Afterwards his father dated his old teacher and he got close to her, only for Eddie to tell her to go home. She left Christopher as well. Now that his father is dating Marisol, maybe Chris isn’t going to put in effort to get to know her or get attached because he thinks she will leave as well. And I think it’s important for all of them if Marisol leaves as well because it opens up the avenue of Buck being the one person who’s always stayed since he came into the Diaz boys lives. Chris is already thinking that all the ladies in his life leave him but you know who hasn’t left him? The man he’s opening up to and being vulnerable and transparent with. Maybe Marisol leaving is what opens up Eddie’s eyes to the prospect of having a partner and coparent who has stepped up and been by his side since the start. Who’s been there for his son and never ever left him. Maybe that’s why it hurt Eddie so much when Buck wasn’t around. Because Chris and Eddie were so used to Buck being the one steady presence in their lives. And no one, and unfortunately no lady at this point in their lives, will come close to who Buck is to them.

season 7 should include some version of the following

Someone (maybe Bobby?) at a firefam cookout: I heard you and your Uncle Buck went to the zoo yesterday. Chris, with all the sass of a 13 year old: Buck isn't my uncle. Bobby: I know he isn't technically your uncle, but - Chris: Buck's like my dad, not my uncle. Everyone except Hen and Karen: *Shock* Hen and Karen: *exchange a knowing look* Buck, through tears: Did he just say I'm like his dad? Eddie, also crying: Because you are.

2x01 

Buck and Eddie diffuse a bomb together, becoming inseparable, and fully engrained in each others lives.

7x01

Buck and Eddie diffuse a bomb(?) together, Buck acts as a dad to Christopher, and Eddie loves Buck to the core.

Anyways, Buddie is going to happen.

The fact that we got confirmation that Shannon was not only the first girl Eddie dated but also slept with is simultaneously unsurprising but surprising that we got confirmation of in canon.

Like, in the same episode, we got Eddie confirming that and saying he has a gift for making women unaroused is either Buddie confirmation or the writers trolling us. Regardless, I'm gonna be here like 🤡🎈

so let the words slip out of your mouth

buck & eddie || rated: g || wc: 1.7k || read on ao3

Buck wasn’t trying to hide from Eddie. Really, he wasn’t. It’s just….every time Buck tried to get the words out he clammed up. He was pretty sure that Eddie thought there was something wrong with him, he’d been giving Buck increasingly worried looks over the last couple weeks.

Eddie had overheard Hen telling him that she would add him to the queer LAFD group chat— not she had said what the group chat was for at the time— and he’d given Buck a weird look, as he knew how much Buck hated group chats. Buck was also sure that Eddie had noticed the look on Bobby’s face when he looked at Buck sometimes, like he was proud of him, happy for him. It never failed to warm Buck from head to toe but he knew it made Eddie curious. The worst was probably Chimney, who, after a few too many weird goodbyes, had stopped saying bye altogether and had taken to saying adios.

So Eddie definitely knew something was up with Buck, but Buck was pretty sure he didn’t know what.

Buck was sitting at his table, staring into space as he contemplated how to tell Eddie. Tommy had just left— they’d had a nice romantic date before Tommy had to leave due to an early shift the next morning and Buck was still giddy over their date. Things were good between him and Tommy. Solid. They’d only been dating for a few weeks but Buck was over the moon and he was really excited to see where things were going to go between them.

A soft knock sounded at his door, breaking him out of his thoughts.

Buck went to answer it, figuring it was Tommy. “You forget something?” He asked as he opened the door.

Only it wasn’t Tommy, it was Eddie. “Hey, Buck. Can we talk?”

“Y-yeah, of course,” Buck stumbled over his words, moving to the side so Eddie could come in. Buck swallowed roughly as he shut the door behind him. Looks like they’d be having this conversation whether he was ready or not. “What do you want to talk about?”

Eddie just gave him a look. “You know what.”

Buck sighed. “I wasn’t trying to hide it from you, Eds. I just didn’t know how to tell you.”

“Tell me what?” Eddie pressed, shoving his hands in his pockets. “If I’m being honest, Buck, I don’t really know what’s going on. I just know that everyone at work is acting weird, like they’re in on this secret and I’m not, and I’ve tried to figure it out, trust me. But I can’t. What could be so bad that you can’t tell me?”

“It’s not bad, I promise,” Buck said earnestly. “There’s nothing wrong, I’ve just…figured some things out.”

“Okay…” Eddie trailed off, looking at Buck when he didn’t elaborate. “What things?”

“It’s that— I’m—” Buck tried, swallowing against the lump in his throat. His heart was beating so fast, just like it had the first time he came out. You’d think all the practice he’d had would have made it easier but something about coming out to Eddie made everything feel so much more.

“Is it that you’re hanging out with Tommy? I saw him leave. You guys don’t have to hide it,” Eddie said, his brow furrowed. “It’s not like I’d be upset. A little bummed that I’m not invited but not upset,” Eddie chuckled, although his laughter trailed off when Buck just stood there.

“Tommy and I…” Buck started, clearing his throat. “We are hanging out but we’re not friends.”

“How does that work?” Eddie looked adorably confused.

“Eds, we’re dating.”

“Oh,” Eddie said, his eyebrows raising in surprise. “Oh.”

“Yeah,” Buck said, rubbing the back of his neck in a nervous gesture. “So I’m…the news is that I’m bisexual. That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.”

Eddie was quiet for a moment, digesting the new information while Buck fidgeted in front of him. “So…when we ran into you at the pizza place…you guys were on a date, weren’t you?”

“Yeah, it was our first,” Buck mumbled, unable to keep a small smile from gracing his lips. The date had been a little tense and a whole lot awkward when Eddie and Marisol interrupted but then Tommy had walked him back to his door and kissed him and Buck had melted, throwing himself into the kiss. They’d found their footing and it hadn’t been awkward since.

“Shit, Buck, I’m so sorry, we totally interrupted,” Eddie looked dismayed.

“It’s okay, you didn’t know,” Buck reassured.

“I’m still sorry,” Eddie said quietly. “And I’m sorry for storming over here and basically forcing you to tell me. You clearly didn’t want to and I made you and I’m just, I’m sorry.”

“Hey, hey, no,” Buck said, his brow furrowing as he took a step closer to Eddie. “You didn’t make me do anything, I was always going to tell you, I was just having a hard time finding the words.”

Eddie let out a sigh of relief and closed the distance between them, pulling Buck into a bear hug. Buck hugged back just as tightly, letting out a shuddering breath when Eddie whispered, “I’m proud of you, Buck. Thanks for telling me.”

“You’re welcome,” Buck mumbled back. A quick fleeting thought dashed across his mind that Eddie’s arms felt so good around him, something he’d always known but now it was at the forefront of his mind. It felt different now and Buck felt a tendril of confusion. Why did hugging his best friend feel different now? Why did it feel better? Like something was slotting together? Buck shook his head as he pulled away from the hug, trying to physically shake away the thoughts. He wasn’t ready to think about that. “I’m surprised you’re here so late, where’s Chris?”

“Ah,” Eddie looked sheepish. “We had a bit of a fight and he wanted space so Tia Pepa said she’d take him for the night.”

“Oh? About what?” Buck was confused, the amount of times Eddie and Christopher had fought was a very small number.

Eddie sighed. “It’s dumb, you probably don’t want to hear it,” He tried to brush it off. “Let’s talk about more important things: so, you and Tommy?”

Buck ducked his head, blushing. “Yeah, me and Tommy.”

“That’s great, Buck, I’m really happy for you,” Eddie said. A quick expression flitted across his face, too quick for Buck to decipher it, before Eddie gave him a genuine smile.

“Thanks, Eds,” Buck murmured, a pleased glow lighting up his face. “I’ll tell you anything you want to know but first, talk to me about Chris. What did you fight about, is he okay?” Buck was concerned for his favourite Diaz.

“He’s not Marisol’s biggest fan,” Eddie sighed, scrubbing his jaw. “He doesn’t like that she’s been babysitting him so much— which is on me, I’ve been going out a lot with Tommy, especially that first couple of weeks and now, I just— I guess I have to figure that out.”

“Shit, Eddie, I’m sorry,” Buck said, his voice soft with sympathy. “You want a beer?”

“God, yes please,” Eddie blew out a breath, coming to sit down at the island in Buck’s kitchen. Buck placed an opened beer in front of him and then opened one for himself. “Thanks, Buck.” Eddie said gratefully, taking a hearty sip.

“So, what are you going to do?”

“I don’t even know,” Eddie said, picking at the beer bottle label. “If I’m being honest, I’m not…really feeling it? Like, it was exciting at first and she’s nice but that’s…that’s it. I don’t feel a spark with her, y’know? I don’t really feel anything for her. I guess that’s why I kind of blew up at Chris, because I felt guilty that I wasn’t actually upset that he didn’t like her.”

“If you want me to talk to him, just let me know,” Buck offered.

“That would be great, I’d really appreciate that.”

“No problem,” Buck smiled before he took a deep breath, steeling himself for his next question. “Speaking of Christopher, Eddie can I….can I tell him? About me?”

Eddie looked at him in surprise. “Buck, of course. You don’t even have to ask. Besides, he’s…” Eddie trailed off, looking at Buck with soft eyes. “He’s your kid too.”

Buck swallowed against the sudden lump in his throat, feeling tears sting his eyes. “Y-yeah?”

“Yeah, Buck,” Eddie grinned.

“You’ve never said that before,” Buck said shyly.

“To be honest I thought you knew,” Eddie’s voice was gentle. “You’re his guardian if anything happens to me.”

“Yeah, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s mine,” Buck countered, looking down at his hands.

“It does to me,” Eddie replied firmly, so there was so ifs, ands, or buts. “He’s ours.”

“Ours,” Buck tested the word out, liking the way it sounded. “Okay. Ours.”

Eddie’s smile could outshine the sun and Buck felt his heart skip a beat, just like it always did when Eddie smiled at him.

The two of them were quiet for a minute, basking in the comfortable silence while they sipped their beer, before Buck eventually spoke up. “How do you think I should tell him?”

“That you’re bi?” Eddie asked and Buck nodded. “I’d just say it straight.”

Buck laughed. “Well, I don’t know if I can say it straight.”

Eddie chuckled. “You’re going to be making all the puns now, aren’t you?” His voice was unbearably fond and Buck wanted to wrap himself around the glow it lit inside him. “You know what I meant. Just say it outright, you know he’ll support you. You may have to explain what bisexual means but honestly I think he’s going to be very casual about it. Plus, he likes Tommy so you know he’s going to be excited that you’re dating.”

“Okay, great,” Buck’s shoulders relaxed and he let out a huge sigh of relief. “Thank you, Eddie.”

“You don’t have to thank me, Buck,” Eddie said. “Now come on, let’s finish these while we watch a shitty movie.”

“Sounds good,” Buck said warmly, following Eddie to the couch. And it did— sound good. He felt better than he had in weeks now that Eddie knew and was okay with it— just like Buck had always known he would be, but that small part of him that worried was loud. As Buck leaned back against the couch while they flicked through the movie options, he felt complete. And very, very free.

[laserpaper118]

In 5x13, Chris called Buck when Eddie was destroying his own bedroom. I love how this shows some important things onscreen but also implies several things that had to happen offscreen:

Eddie recognizes that he is breaking down, recognizes that he cannot just switch off this rage at the moment, and he locks himself in to avoid harming Chris

Eddie has instilled within Chris to always be aware and alert, and not let his headphones and videogames stop him from noticing his surroundings

Eddie has trained Chris, perhaps several times and with various examples, about different kinds of emergencies and what to do during those times. When it comes to himself being unavailable, not responding, or present but making Chris frightened or upset, Chris should call Buck. Maybe also 911, but Buck first

Buck's first concern is if Chris is all right

As worried as Buck is, he remembers to introduce himself clearly, and announces himself before breaking the door down. Which means had Eddie denied him entry, Buck would've negotiated something and not barge in

Eddie has taken into consideration that he indeed can tell and show Buck the truth

The one exception was the fight club era, because of circumstances. But Eddie actually hates keeping things from Buck, resenting the fact that Buck wasn't the one he could call to bail him out of jail. After Eddie accepts Buck's apology, he gets right back to telling him the truth every single time

To tide me before season 7.
