Summary
Eddie has lost nearly everything that matters. Nearly. He can't afford to let himself spiral or what is temporary might become permanent.
Buck should be happier than he's ever been. He has nearly everything he's ever wanted. Nearly.
So why does nothing feel right for either of them?

Summary
In 2037, a single father moves to Los Angeles in look for better job opportunities. Eddie Diaz, army veteran and newly firefighter, went to the 118 because it was the only station that didn't follow the normal 50% of personnel being androids.
It turns out the only android there ended up meaning to him more than he ever thought he would. BK-400, newest firefighter assistance model, named Buck by his coworkers, seemed to be more than just wires and blue blood.

Summary
Mr. Diaz’s eyes are so infuriatingly brown, a roasted chestnut that feels lodged in Buck's throat. In certain flickers of the candlelight, they appear hazel. Another flicker, another color. Caramel, then gold. Buck doesn’t think he’s seen eyes like his before.
“So, what do you recommend? I mean, to encourage affection,” Mr. Diaz hastily elaborates, his eyes briefly shooting over towards Mr. Han before returning to Buck, almost as if he's been caught doing something he shouldn't.
With a grin so wide his cheeks nearly hurt, Buck answers pleasantly, almost saccharinely. “Dancing. Even if one’s partner is barely tolerable.”
A flash bolts across Mr. Diaz’s face, as the recognition of his own words repeated back to him lands with a satisfying crash, his mouth parting slightly as his shoulders drop, like all air escapes him, all because of Buck.
***
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single father in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of partner.

Summary
Of all the things Eddie had ever expected Buck to ask him about, he absolutely hadn’t thought it would be his fake dating services.
“I... Yeah, I do. I do that. Why?”
“Well, um, I was wondering... And I know this sounds really weird, especially since I don’t think I’ve ever really talked to you before, which I’m sorry about, by the way, because I'm sure you’re a really cool guy, and I know I’ve seen you at some parties before, and we’ve been in this class together all semester, but—”
Finally, Eddie manages to pull himself together enough to hold up a hand to stop Buck’s rambling, and the boy immediately snaps his mouth shut, blue eyes wide and a little panicked.
“Buck, what exactly do you want?” he asks, brow furrowed with confusion, and Buck’s nervous shuffling increases tenfold, his smile completely gone now.
“Right. Um. I... I was wondering if maybe you’d be willing to, um... to fake date me.”
-or-
Eddie Diaz fake dates girls to make a little extra cash on the side. He's shocked when football star Evan "Buck" Buckley requests his services for the Christmas holiday.

Summary
"Maybe I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't have to listen to every rendition of Baby Shark for two hours straight!" Eddie says, jabbing his finger in Buck's face.
Buck glowers. "Like you can talk, how many times do you have to sing the multiplication song to not be off key?"
Ravi's groan is earth-shattering. "Can you guys please get out of my classroom?"

Or: in which Buck teaches elementary school, and the new second grade teacher is the last person he ever wanted to see.
