Summary
“Do none of you care about the children? It’s a bachelor auction, and you, my friend, are a bachelor. Abracadabra, put your name on the list.”
“I can’t,” Eddie repeats. He can’t. He cannot. “I’m not.”
“You’re not? Since when?” Chimney frowns. “Who?”
It’s not Eddie’s fault that, at that exact moment, Buck walks in. So it’s not his fault that he opens his mouth and says, “Buck.”
Or, Eddie trips and falls into a lightly fraudulent HR-disclosed "consensual romantic relationship" with his best friend. Really, if you think about it, it's a win-win.

Summary
When Eddie finally confesses his love for Buck, instead of bringing them together, it breaks them.
OR
Eddie turned off the engine of his truck and took a deep breath. He looked toward the house that held so much of his hope and just as much of his fear. He was still unsure if this was the right thing to do, but he knew this was now or never. He was going to tell Buck that he was in love with him. That could never be the wrong thing to say.
What made Eddie doubt himself wasn’t even the fear of rejection, although even thinking about it made his heart sink. What made Eddie second-guess himself was the fact that Buck had a girlfriend.Bookmarked by spacebugs

Summary
It’s one of the rare occasions where Buck has a day off work that Eddie doesn’t also take off, and Eddie is…. fine with that.
Totally fine.
Buck is spending the day with his boyfriend, allowing them to have a full seventy two hours off shared together, and frankly, Eddie has seen enough of the two of them as a couple. He doesn’t need to be there.
Only, a few hours into the shift, Eddie gets a call from Tommy.
Just Tommy.

Something’s wrong with Buck.

Summary
"So should we start blocking off time in our calendar for dance lessons with Coach Diaz?"
Eddie knows Karen means it as a joke, but the combination of the wine in his system and the joy in his gut make it feel serious, "Yes."
"Wait, really?" Hen asks.
"If she wants to dance, I'll teach her to dance. We had fun today," Eddie finishes his glass and notices he's probably at the point where he's drunk enough to talk about the Buck thing.
"You don't have to do that Eddie. I'm sure we could pay for lessons somewhere," Karen offers.
"Or we could pay you," Hen offers.
"I have an idea for that actually," alright, Eddie, be brave, "I give Mara dance lessons and you both give me gay lessons."
or
When Mara becomes obsessed with ballroom dance Eddie becomes her teacher. Along the way he realizes he's in love with Buck, starts receiving "gay lessons" from Hen and Karen, and forms a ragtag dance academy. What could possibly go wrong?
