Summary
When Buck, a Paralympic sprinter, agrees to go on Dancing With the Stars, he wonders if he's just made the worst decision of his life. But his love life is dead, his social life even more dead, and he doesn't know what to do with his life in the aftermath of the Paralympics, so why not jump headfirst into this opportunity?
Eddie has been a professional dancer on the show for years, but after a recent divorce and a disappointing showmance, he's fallen out of love with his job, with dancing, with himself. He has no hope for the next season, until he meets one Buck Buckley.
The pair feel an instant connection, but will it be enough to see them through the trials and tribulations of the next eleven weeks?

Summary
“You don’t have to,” Buck says quickly. “You could just leave it. Don’t look.”
Eddie glances up at him, and they both know without saying it that he isn’t going to let this go.
There’s no way he can look away now, not after seeing the way Buck reacted.
“Or maybe just not now,” Buck says softly, stepping closer, his hand settling gently over the screen like he can shield Eddie from what’s on it. “Maybe leave it for now. You’re not… Eddie, you’re not doing well right now. I’ve been so worried about you and this—” his voice catches, “—you… Eddie, please don’t. Just leave it.”
It stings to hear the worry out loud, even if he knew it was there.
He wants to do what Buck says, he wants to trust his friend and give him what he’s asking.
Buck never asks for anything.
Eddie moves Buck’s hand aside gently, giving it a brief squeeze. “Can’t do that, Buck.”
Or; After Christopher leaves for El Paso, Buck decides that he and Eddie should trace their family trees to keep Eddie’s mind occupied elsewhere. The results lead Eddie to face a family secret.

Summary
Eddie felt like he was losing his grip on reality.
“Why are you suddenly doing this?”
“Doing what?”
“I think Dad's talking about how you’re acting like the football coach at my school,” Chris supplied helpfully.
Buck ducked his head.
“Well, you know, I just don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.”
“For the record, you saying “no homo” about getting takeout is making me very uncomfortable,” Eddie said.
_____
Buck's protecting his heart by putting distance between them. Eddie won't stand for it.
