neeed there to be a scene where eddie is offered the firefighter job with the el paso department and he knows that if he takes it he can’t come back to LA, since he swore to morales he wouldn’t leave like that other firefighter did. at this point things are better with chris and he’s missing buck terribly. buck knows that if he takes the job then eddie really isn’t coming back but he’s still quietly supportive despite how much it hurts. and then eddie shows back up to LA at buck’s doorstep with chris and is like “i didn’t take the job.”

(and morales sighs because another great firefighter left for somewhere else because of their partner)

buddie are actually so javajunkie coded and i’m tired of no one talking about it…eddie and lorelai both being teen parents raising a kid alone with a fraught relationship with their parents who think they know how to raise their kid better than them, buck and luke both loving chris and rory so much and helping out with them to the point where they’re almost like a second father to them. being best friends for several years before they become lovers. lorelai saying “i don’t think i ever really loved anyone until luke” and “once luke is in your life he’s in your life forever” and luke telling lorelai “i just like to see you happy” after making a big gesture for her (ala ‘and now you don’t have to worry’ after buck got rid of his loft and decided to sublet eddie’s house).
