    Summary

    When Eddie moves to Los Angeles, it’s for three reasons: to be closer to the ocean (and further from his parents), because he’s gotten a divorce and full custody of his son, and because he’s come out. LA feels like the perfect place for him and Christopher to start over—and that’s exactly what they do.

    Or

    Probie Eddie meets his Captain’s son, Buck who’s a teacher at his son’s school and the story goes from there.

    Summary

    “Oh my god, did you want to help me beat that stupid record?” 

    No. Yes. Of course Eddie never cared about that stupid record he just— He just—

    “It is!” Buck exclaims gleefully, his voice a little loud for the hour and the number of patrons in the bar, that is, not many. “You were going to bid on me?” 

    Eddie buries his face in his hands, taking a deep breath. At least this is all fun for Buck. Just fun. Nothing else. Because, of course, Buck—

    “You’re such a good friend.” First gunshot. “But I really didn’t need that.” Second gunshot. “But if you had, we wouldn’t have had to go on a date, you know.” And there it is, and Eddie is lying dying on the floor, not for the first time, probably not for the last.

    Or: Post auction, Buck is concerned about how much Eddie spent, and Eddie has to confess he wanted to buy a lot more.
