Summary
“Go again.” He breathes.
“..what?”
“Start again.” Buck whispers, swallowing. “You say ‘there’s a weird rule in the South’, and then tell me about how the hat means love, and then I’m gonna turn around and say absolutely fucking nothing, okay?”
OR
Eddie tries to confess to Buck using the hat rule. Buck is oblivious. Based on the Bridget Jones proposal.

Summary
Except the firehouse doesn’t have a weighted blanket.
It does, however, have—
“Buck?” Eddie tilts his head back against the couch cushion, looking at Buck sitting at the dining table with the cap of his pen between his teeth.
“Hm?” He looks up from the crossword, glancing at Eddie.
“What’s up?”
“Can you come here for a second?”
“Okay, sure.”
Buck caps the pen and drops it on the table with a clatter. His chair scrapes against the floor of the loft with a sound that makes Eddie’s teeth ache. Each step Buck takes across the loft rattles Eddie’s bones to the point that a Jack and the Beanstalk joke sits on the tip of his tongue.

Summary
What mattered was getting Eddie to wear the stupid, shiny cowboy hat.
“Please?” Buck dragged out the word, not breaking eye contact.
He could swear he saw, and heard, Eddie’s breath hitch.
“Yeah- fuck, okay. Fine.”
Buck grinned, taking the hat off of his head at the same time Eddie took off his own, proudly holding it out for him, “M’lady.”
This time, Eddie’s breathing pattern definitely changed. Buck took a mental note of that, for… research purposes.
Or.
At the end of their Nashville trip, Buck and Eddie swap cowboy hats, dance together, and finally do something about their feelings.

“Okay, okay.” Maddie wiped at her eyes, still giggling slightly. “What’s the real reason you spent $2500 so you didn’t have to go on a date? Christopher adamant on not going to college and you have some spare funds?” She joked.
Eddie felt his stomach drop a little. “Oh God, that was a lot of money, wasn’t it?”
“You’re just realising that?” Maddie put her head in her hands. “Do I need to get the laundry out?”
“What?” Seriously, what?
Or.
Eddie tells Maddie why he paid her to be the highest bid at the auction, and she gives him the push he needs to finally speak to Buck about it. It's not Eddie's fault that the conversation was interrupted by a 'kiss the cook' apron.

Summary
The door beside him swings up, the hinges squealing, and the sounds of the crowd and pumping music slip through. Maddie and Chimney stumble through the doorway, holding onto each other and laughing. Maddie tucks a strand of hair behind her ears, her eyes widening when she spots Eddie standing nearby.
“There he is!” she says. “Looking forward to our future date?”
Eddie laughs, throwing his head back. “Definitely.”“Why did you get my wife to cheat for you?” Chimney asks, an eyebrow partially raised. “It wasn’t exactly in the spirit of the event.”
“I told you I wasn’t keen on the idea, and Maddie was the only other person there who I thought could help me. The charity is still getting the money, and I don’t have to go out on a date with anyone. Win-win.”
