Summary
"Open your mouth," Robby says.
It's always simple. Dennis opens his mouth.
His eyes stay on Robby's. They don't waver, and they don't look away. They don't do anything except remain. He brings the full attending quality, the whole-body presence, and the decided quality that Dennis brings to everything he's decided when he finally has.
"I'm going to spit in it. So you know what my words taste like when I say them with you on my mind."
Dennis lets out a breath. Not a reactive or theatrical gasp. Nothing like that. He lets out a breath, steady and short, like something released that has been held for a while. Like a dam being broken. Like relief, palpable and clean.
"Yes, sir."

Doctor Michael Robinavitch dreads staying in one place for too long. Seeking a more pastoral experience, he sets up a private practice in the flat, private fields of Nebraska. Upon hearing of a new doctor's arrival near town, a bright and eager young man with an aptitude for medicine and peculiar scars begins to show up at his doorstep. First for treatment, then for training. All kinds of training.

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. -
