First, I did actually write most of this story in order, so by the time I got to that point in Ch. 7, I knew there was no possible way I could pitch Kirk & McCoy into bed together without dragging the story out for another 50K words, to give McCoy time to get used to the whole men thing. He's pretty sure at this moment that he's got feelings for Jamie that go a bit beyond gratitude and brotherhood, and it probably freaks him out less that he's in love with him than the fact that he's attracted to him, but he's still just plain freaked out about everything.
So the best resolution for them would be some sort of "Hey, give me time, but that's definitely not a no" from McCoy.
Jamie had been stuck dancing with a lot of young women he did not want to dance with for the entire story (well, he didn't mind dancing with Eve, but she wasn't his type, as we all know) so I figured it would be nice to let him dance with someone he actually wanted to dance with.
I think they're not wearing gloves here, which is okay since they're at home and not in public, but it also makes it that much racier. ;)
McCoy obviously had to make the first move, since the ball was in his court. And the bit about blue coats was just a riff on medical-blue. :)
