    Summary

    “Tell you what,” Robby calls out as Dennis is passing by, he does a quick turn with his foot and finds himself leaning on the counter across from the attending. It wasn’t even a thought, Robby called, Dennis came.

    “Yes, Dr. Robby?”

    So much for avoiding. Pathetic.

    “How about you and I make a bet?” He asks, glasses perched on his nose, his head tilted down as he levels Dennis with a stare from over the lenses.

    “A bet? Want me to add it to the pool in Ahmad’s office?” Dennis didn’t know Robby to be the betting kind, he rarely added to the wagers the staff so often held. Of course, Dennis didn’t either, but for very different reasons. Currently there were about three different predictions being bet on and someone was going to have a very happy new year out of it.

    Robby just offers a small smile and shakes his head. “Not this time. Just me and you.”

    Just me and you.

    Summary

    The first couple of dollars that the machine ate up without remorse were an annoyance, something that made Dennis sigh and unzip his wallet without thinking about it to try again. By the time that the vending machine had eaten seven whole dollars, in coins, and Dennis didn’t have anything to show for it, he was close to thumping his forehead against the cool glass and hoping he could derive some sort of enjoyment or nourishment from simply just looking at the colourful packages as they remained firmly in their coils.

    ~

    5 times + 1 that Robby buys something for Dennis and makes him feel like he's about to keel over, right there and then.

    Summary

    “It's embarrassing.”

    Robby glanced over. Whitaker was still facing the window, his hands twisted in the hem of his sweatshirt. 

    “If it’s got you this worked up, it must be important. I won't judge.” 

    Whitaker sighed. “I…I started dating someone. A guy. I met him on a dating app, and we’ve been together about a month.”

    Robby hummed in acknowledgement. He didn't speak yet, waiting for Whitaker to continue. 

    “The problem,” Whitaker muttered, “is that he’s…my first boyfriend. I'm 27 years old, and I've never kissed anyone before, let alone had sex. I've avoided the sex part this far—using work and being tired as excuses—but I'm seeing him this weekend and I can't…I know I can’t hold it off forever.”

     

    Whitaker is a virgin. Robby has a hard time saying no to his favorite resident. When Whitaker asks for help with his problem, what else is there for Robby to do?

    Summary

    “I haven’t really been to a wedding where I’ve, uh… let loose. But, hey,” Dennis shrugged, “maybe I’m doing it wrong.”

    “If I hadn’t already agreed to go to this conference, I’d offer to go with you,” Robby said casually. “Show you how it’s done. I’ve got a good track record as a plus-one, too.” Dennis had to say something. To interrupt. To shut this down. But what was he supposed to say? No, you can’t be my plus one, because I lied about my cousin, and there is no wedding, and it seems a little weird to bring a date to a fucking funeral– “Apparently parents love it when you bring home a doctor.”

    And just like that, the bubble popped.

    “I’m not gay,” Dennis snapped.

    He had never hated the sound of his own voice as much as he did right then.

    ---
    Or, Dennis is anxiously headed home for a "wedding" in Broken Bow, Nebraska, the details of which are increasingly fuzzy. Robby's got a medical conference in Omaha that same weekend. So they carpool. Seventeen hours both ways in an enclosed space with no way out except a tuck and roll. This'll go great.

    Two days off, a snow storm, and nowhere to go. Robby and Dennis have been hooking up for a few weeks…they’re only getting more obsessed.
