    Summary

    “I distinctly recall extending an invite that you turned down.”

    “I’m your attending.” Robby says in lieu of anything else.

    The invite for drinks was for more than just drinks, then. Robby had suspected that, but he didn’t have any evidence to confirm it. Abbot looks about as straight as they come, military background and all, gruff and corn-fed. His lingering eyes defied that in ways Robby could never put a finger on, in ways he wouldn’t let himself.

    Abbot shrugs, watching Robby closely, “I’m a consenting adult.”

    Robby pulls in a deep breath, reading between the lines of those words isn’t hard, “I don’t have drinks with my residents.”

    Summary

    Jack closes his locker and turns to lean against it, watching Dr. Robby as Greg’s protests disappear into the background. His posture is easy and relaxed, even as he’s aware of the risk he’s taking. But his resident year only has a few months left on it and if he fucks this up too bad, he can hit the road. “You know, Robby, we were gonna head over to a bar on Liberty Avenue, it’s not too far. You should come with us.”

    Robby clears his throat and any sign of a flush has disappeared when he meets Jack’s eyes. “Thank you for the invitation, but I don’t make a habit of getting drunk with my residents.”

    So… not “no” to Liberty Avenue. Not “no” to what would be obviously a gay bar. Not “no” to Jack, not really. No to a resident.

    Summary

    “You’ll never guess who I saw at work today.”

    “I’m sure I never will, you should probably tell me.”

    “Jack! That nice coworker of yours, the veteran - ”

    “Dr. Abbot? Wait, are you allowed to tell me this?” Perlah says, leaning back so she can look up at her husband with surprised eyes.

    “I mean, I don’t exactly have any PHI for you, and he literally said, ‘oh hey Kareem, tell Perlah I said hi!’, so I think he was fine with it. His partner did not look as excited, but - ”

    Perlah blinks up at Kareem, tilting her head at that word. “Partner?”

    (or, what Perlah sees. 5+1. casually part of MOW but can be read totally standalone.)

    Summary

    Jack grabs for Robby’s wrist, stopping him mid-sentence, staring up at him. “Mike. You gotta tell me what the fuck is going on here.”

    Robby finally stops moving, stops talking, stops fussing, stops fixing, and sinks down onto the bed next to Jack with a soft sigh. His hands come to rest on his knees, and Jack can see the moment he allows his shoulders to relax, facing forward, pointedly not looking at Jack.

    “You wanted to get on the same page. I… I want that too. I don’t fully know what that looks like, or what it’ll mean, or how things will change, but I know how to do this, this part, I’m good at this part.”

    Summary

    How mad is he allowed to be, really, when he accepted these terms? He’s half responsible for this fucked-up in-between they live in, where they work together as responsible adults and professional colleagues, go back to one of their apartments, drink two beers each, and stick their tongues down each other’s throats. And he’s fine with it, it’s fine, so fine, so good bro, except when it’s not and he wishes Robby would stay.

    Summary

    "We're… we're going to fuck it up, and then we'll try to un-fuck it, and we'll just do that over and over again until we can't fucking stand it anymore, and then I'll probably drag us to a couples therapist so we can do it for even longer after that, okay?”

    or, robby and jack's worlds brush up against each other and overlap for years before they collide.

    Summary

    When did it become a duty? When did the sex stop mattering, when did it start getting boring? When did she start wanting to shove him off a tall building?

    Probably the day her agency told her she had to marry him.
