Private message: Buck & Maddie
[7/1/25 – 7:34AM]
Maddie: EVAN MARIE BUCKLEY
Buck: that’s not my middle name?????
Maddie: What the fuck is your problem?
Buck: erm good morning to u too
Maddie: Imagine being me, finally getting a good night’s rest because Baby Robert Nash Han (name still pending) slept through the night
Only to wake up and see the screenshot you sent
Of you being the dumbest person alive
Buck: no maddie im the smartest person alive
i didn’t fall into his trap!
and i was (semi) honest with him about having feelings for him
so now we can be normal friends again
Maddie: Evan Marie
Buck: AGAIN, NOT MY MIDDLE NAME
Maddie: Did it ever occur to you that maybe he wasn’t testing you?
Buck: but that’s not possible cuz hes straight so why else would he be flirting with me
Maddie: What if he’s not straight? What if he’s actually into you?
Buck: well that’d be bad cuz i rejected the hell out of his advances
Maddie: Exactly
Buck: good thing that’s not the case then!
Groupchat: Hen, Karen & Eddie
[7/1/25 – 8:03AM]
Hen: OH NO
Karen: WE JUST SAW THIS
OH NO
Hen: Eddie are you okay??
Stay calm, we can come over with wine and cry it out together
Eddie: Cry? I’m on cloud fucking nine
Karen: Did we miss something??
Hen: You just told us that Buck is over you… so did something else happen?
Eddie: No he said he’s over me but that means he’s been into me before and if I turn up the charm, he’s bound to fall under me again
Karen: Okayyyyy Eddie 🔥
Hen: LOVE the confidence
Eddie: Oh yeah, I’m a real charmer 😏
Just you wait and see…

Eddie:
Buck: uh good morning?
Groupchat: Hen, Karen & Eddie
[7/1/25 – 8:13AM]
Eddie: Wait okay maybe I need some help
Hen: LMAO alright well
What started last night’s conversation in the first place?
Cuz whatever you did, it made him admit that he once had feelings for you.
Maybe you can charm him by picking back up with that
Eddie: Well
Uh
I sent him a picture of me laying in his bed
While he was spending the night at his hookup’s house
And told him I missed him
Karen: WOAH
Hen: Eddie Diaz you dirty dog
Eddie:
Unfortunately, he thought I was fucking with him
Actually he thought I was testing him
So in many ways it did backfire.
Hen: We can retcon this.
I think.
Karen: We definitely can
You just need to prove that it’s not a test and you ARE an option
Eddie: I may be in over my head though. Idk how to be smooth about it
My flirty side has lied dormant since
Well
Forever
The biggest downside of realizing you’re gay when ur pushing 40
Hen: The biggest downside?
Eddie: I GOT NO GAME
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IM FLIRTING WITH SOMEONE I ACTUALLY WANT
Karen: It’s salvageable I swear
Eddie: HOW
Karen: Literally just be honest
Be your true self
Eddie: My true self is a horny freak
Hen: That works.
Eddie: I really don’t think it does.

Buck: genuinely whats happening i already told u to stop testing me
I TOLD YOU IM OVER IT
Eddie: It’s not a test, I swear
Buck
Listen to what I’m saying
Buck: what ur saying is going to RUIN me
Eddie: Maybe that’s the point
(He says flirtatiously)
Buck: you are being a bad friend
targeting the LGBT community
you’re better than this
Eddie: Oh for the love of god
Groupchat: Hen, Karen & Eddie
[7/1/25 – 12:21PM]

Buck:
Hen: Buck go home
Buck: I CANT
Hen: Why not
Buck: because eddie just came out to me and i told him no
NO
THAT’S LIKE
THE WORST POSSIBLE THING I COULDVE SAID
Hen: Well it’s definitely not the best.
But just explain why you had that reaction and he’ll understand.
Buck: also cant do that either
Hen: Once again, why not…
Buck: because i’d have to explain it’s just because i love him and didn’t think he could ever be an option or love me back in the same way
Hen: Right
Buck: you knew?
Hen: Oh sorry I meant OH WHAT NO WAY
Buck: hen…
Hen: Okay yeah I knew.
Buck: does eddie know?
Hen: From what he’s told me, he only knows what you told him…
Which is that you used to have feelings for him but now you’re “over him”
Buck: did he say anything else about that? like was he sad? or relieved?
Hen: I am not playing a game of Telephone with y’all GO TALK TO HIM
Buck: smh my head

[7/1/25 – 8:33PM]
Chim: Please tell me I’m not hearing what I think I’m hearing on the baby monitor…
Maddie: If you are referring to Buck using our son as a therapist, unfortunately you’d be correct.
Chim: I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING HOME TO TALK TO EDDIE
NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT EDDIE
Maddie: A girl can dream…
But sadly our son cannot because his Uncle Buck won’t let him SLEEP
Chim: How can we get him to leave…
Maddie: Should we call in some reinforcements? Perhaps your paramedic partner?
Chim: Hmmmmmmmmmmm
I love my meddling wife ❤️

When he was little and he had bad nightmares or couldn’t sleep, I’d rub his back and sing him a song

However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you

Buck
You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be

I know you guys spent all day trying to talk to each other (fucking finally, might I add)
But never got the chance
Eddie: Yeah we talked when we got home
Hen: And??????
Eddie: We had a long long chat about how important our friendship is and how risky it’d be to try to be anything more, and at the end of the day, we decided it’d be best to stay friends to preserve that.

Really?

Kind of a bummer but ultimately for the best
Private message: Buck & Maddie

we just talked this morning about literally everything
i told him how much he matters to me and how important his friendship is
and how much i would hate to lose that
and he said the same
so we’re just staying friends to avoid any possible drama
Maddie: Aw Evan :( I’m sorry
Buck: no no it’s okay
i know where i stand with him and we both know how much we mean to each other
