Eddie props his phone up against an empty mug on the coffee table, feeling Chris shift in anticipation at his side while the FaceTime dial tone rings out. They don’t have to wait long for Buck to pick up – he’s pretty sure Buck hasn’t let any phone call go beyond three rings since he got to Texas.
When the call connects there’s a moment where Eddie thinks Buck is frozen but then Chris exclaims a, “Hey Buck!” and Eddie watches what must’ve been shock on Buck’s face melt into something soft and familiar.
“God, it feels good to see the two of you next to each other again,” Buck says, exhaling a little laugh. “Hey, buddy. I missed you.”
The words make Eddie’s stomach clench and he can’t help tightening his hold around Chris, if only because he’s the only one of the two of them Eddie can actually reach for. He knows Buck has stayed in contact with Chris these past few months. It’s mostly been through stupid memes he sends into the groupchat the three of them have but they haven’t talked on the phone except for the few times Buck has been there when Eddie was FaceTiming Chris.
“Miss you too,” Chris says, leaning a little more into Eddie’s side so he can see the phone better. “How’s the house? What’s it look like with all your stuff in it?”
Buck grins, big and bright, and the camera jostles for a second as he clearly picks up his phone. “You want a tour?”
Buck takes them on a tour of their house, something he hasn’t actually done in all the times he and Eddie have been on FaceTime. Eddie can always tell what part of the house he’s in but usually the screen is taken up by Buck’s face. Now, he walks them from room to room while Chris makes fun of him for laying out the house the exact same way they did except with his own stuff instead.
“What can I say?” Buck shrugs when he turns the camera back to his face. “Your dad’s got an eye for interior decorating.”
Eddie looks at his current living room that’s not quite falling down around him anymore but still isn’t in the best shape and says, “Think you might be thinking a little too highly of me with that one, Buck.”

I think there's something very intentional about how integral Buck has been in reuniting Eddie and Chris. I generally agree with people who've said that fanon exaggerates how much of a coparent Buck has really been up until now, but I think in these last few episodes, the show is very purposefully giving Buck a big part in Eddie's Texas arc and in Eddie bringing Chris home, in part because they are trying to show us that Buck is ready for this role and he is part of this family. Eddie only is able to go to Texas because Buck puts aside his own feelings of abandonment to move into his house, for Eddie yes, but as Buck reminds him, for Christopher too. And every single time Eddie hits a bump in the road with Chris in Texas, he calls Buck, and Buck tells him exactly what he needs to hear in that moment in order to move forward and do the right thing. Ultimately it's Eddie whose dad instincts tell him Chris needs to come home, and it's Eddie's courage and confidence that get the job done, but Buck played the perfect supporting role every step of the way, and maybe Eddie could have done it without him, but it would have been a hell of a lot harder and would have taken much more time. The show did this on purpose. They put Buck into this arc on purpose. They could just as easily have had Eddie go to Bobby for advice (he's done it tons of times before) or Hen or Chim, characters who are actually parents, but no. He goes to Buck, and Buck is able to be his rock in this way, and all of this is for a reason and that reason is BUDDIE CANON
