    Summary

    “Just a cold,” is what Robby keeps saying about his condition. Just a cold when he’s coughing into his fist, just a cold when he’s coughing into his elbow, just a cold when he’s showing no other symptoms of a cold whatsoever. Just a cold when he starts carrying tissues in his pocket to cough into whenever he needs it, which is often.

    And the kicker is that he thinks Jack doesn’t notice.

    or

    robby has hanahaki, and he won't tell jack who it is.

    Summary

    Robby has spent years filing his feelings for Jack away under safer guises— friendship, companionship, collegial affection— because those nomenclatures demanded nothing of him, required no explanation, threatened no irreversible shift in the careful architecture of their relationship, both inside and out of the hospital.

    The term he kept coming back to, though, was brother.

    Summary

    "Dude," Shen said, handing him his half-finished coffee "you look like you fought a bar and lost."

    Jack took the coffee without a word. His head was pounding. His shirt still smelled faintly of someone else's cologne and sweat. And all he could do was thank whoever was watching over him, God, the universe, sheer dumb luck, Jack didn't care who to credit. The important part was that Professor Robinavitch hadn't arrived yet.

    Because if there was one class he couldn't afford to mess up, it was this one.

    Summary

    The mom didn’t back off.

    “Come on,” she nudged, “tell me you’re not single. A man like you shouldn’t be.”

    “Well…” Robby said, exhaling softly, “actually, you see that blonde nurse outside? That’s my girlfriend.”

    Jack froze.

    Ms. Campbell seemed as caught off guard as Jack himself, the smile on her face faltering as the words sank in.

    It made sense. Of course it made sense.

    Robby and Dana.

    Or, Robby and Dana use each other as pretend significant others whenever a patient doesn’t take no for an answer. Jack, being new, has no idea about the arrangement.
