one of my favorite buddie tropes IS buck realizing he’s been a clingy lovesick freak weirdo towards eddie so he starts pulling back to appear Normal. because he’s So Normal. and he has Normal Emotions towards his best friend. and meanwhile eddie is just like you HATE me? you KICK eddie like you kick the football?

I’ve previously read about a character doing fencing for no other reason than the author clearly wanting to write a sport they understood. A character being given a hyperfixation on bugs just so the author can infodump themselves.
