    Summary

    Darnell nodded, glancing over Robby like he was trying to place him in the hierarchy of important to ignorable and it could go either way. "What's this?"

    "MSF FNG," Jack shot back. Whatever that meant, he sounded amused.

    Darnell scoffed and looked to Robby, expression going decidedly unimpressed. "Oh, yeah? You here to find yourself? Have an adventure? Do something hard?" he asked, each question more mocking than the last.

    And there was that question again, like it was haunting Robby. He stifled his instinct to bite back and kept it simple: "I'm here to help."

    Summary

    When Robby ambled in a little early for his shift, central was a hive of activity, Walsh calling back to Jack as she accompanied a gurney out of Trauma 2: "Learn from the master, soldier boy."

    "When you find one, be sure to let me know, princess," he shot right back, but the note of fondness in his tone made Robby freeze. That wasn't their usual back-and-forth. That held warmth to it. An undercurrent of knowing. A joke shared between two people who'd seen each other naked. More than once.

    Robby clocked Jack watching Walsh go—what the fuck—and then he went back into Trauma 2, debriefing with the team. It was the tiniest moment, nothing—

    And yet Robby's whole understanding had just realigned. Jack and Walsh. What the fuck.

    Summary

    If they were still together, Robby would be pulling Jack into his chest, quietly singing in Russian until he calmed down.

     

    Except that they weren’t together. Not anymore.

     

    Fuck. How did it still hurt this much after more than a decade?

     

    After a messy breakup and an even worse deployment, Jack moves to Pittsburgh and gets a job working at PTMC. Unfortunately, guess who already works there?

    His ex. Michael Robinavitch.

    Summary

    "The long and short of it is, they want me over there for a couple months to teach a seminar.”

    The kitchen is suddenly too quiet.

    In the pan behind him mushrooms and onions sizzle, in the living room Santana plays softly over the speaker set they invested in, but all Robby can hear is the beat of his own heart between his ears.

    Jack would be gone for months.

    He hasn’t spent more than a handful of days without Jack in years.

    (Or: Jack teaches in Germany for 120 days; Robby's totally fine about it.)
