ok guys i need you to imagine this with me for a second:
eddie and chris are back from texas. it’s been a few weeks since their return. they’re living in their house with buck. buck has dealt with and accepted with the fact that he’s in love with and living with his straight (lol) best friend. the only person who he’s explicitly told is maddie. but apart from that, he’s taking this to his grave.
buddie are about to go for their usual grocery run together. they’re heading towards the car. buck sees that maddie’s calling him, so he falls behind and waves eddie to go ahead.
buck and maddie have their usual slightly insane buckley sibling small talk, whilst eddie starts up the car. but maddie, being the older sister that she is, needs to ask that question. “are you going to tell eddie that you’re in love with him?”
no response. “hello buck? you there?”
meanwhile buck got cut off from maddie before she even asked the question. he looks down at his phone frowning. but he sees the that it reads connected to [car]’s bluetooth.
he looks up and sees eddie staring at him from the car like: 👁️👄👁️
buck, no idea what secrets have just been spilled, but his favourite guy is staring at him: 😊👋
