    Summary

    Robby swallows hard, making Dennis shout. It’s too loud, it’s too much, Dennis readies an apology but Robby’s looking up at him with the opposite of a reprimand. If Dennis didn’t know better, it would almost look like begging. Robby grinds his nose against Dennis’ pubic bone and Dennis realizes he’s waiting for permission.

    “That’s good. Take—take a breath.” Robby does. Dennis didn’t expect the breath to sound so much like post-intubation. Relieved, desperate, terrified.

    Robby clears his throat. “This might have been something else I learned on sabbatical.”

    Summary

    That first day, Robby had decided that, for longer than Dennis probably wanted this to last, Robby would helplessly leave his door open—for him to come unannounced, to come every day, to roll in the sheets and to linger, to place his things among Robby’s and lose sight of them, to give Robby the joy of discovering one of his sweaters, or one of his books, or one of his handwritten notes when cleaning out his closet before Pesach: unadulterated, tangible proof of him. Proof that he was to come back, proof that he was to stay.

    Naturally, Robby told none of this to him.

    Robby goes home to Dennis after a bad shift.

    Summary

    He always looks nervous. Less so than he used to, definitely, but there is nothing Whitaker’s growing professional confidence can do for his face. He just looks like someone who is about to faint dead away with anxiety at all times, eyes huge and hair waving timidly over his pale forehead. When he smiles, he looks almost… he looks different, but he’s not smiling now. He’s staring at Robby as though he thinks one of them is about to explode.

    [In which Whitaker takes a risk, Robby is all over the place, and I deal only in happy endings]
