Summary
Robby lies back and looks up at the sky, big and black as a beetle. Full of stars the way it never is closer to civilization. He looks for constellations, eyes tracing over shapes. Big Dipper, Little Dipper, Casseopeia. North Star.

Summary
Jack hummed, as his attention drifted back to the little gaggle of amateur ballroom dancers and their instructor. A warm smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he watched Robby coach, a little adjustment here, some gentle encouragement there, a prod to a certain intern’s sense of pride and competition to keep up momentum every now and then. Just Robby in his element, teaching, laughing, unburdened for one fleeting moment.
A quiet laugh beside him drew his attention away from the scene.
“So this is what Jack Abbot looks like when he’s in love?” Dana drawled, nudging Jack’s arm teasingly when he turned back to look at her. “I’ve always wondered.”
“You’re not going to get as good a reaction out of me as you do Robby, you know?” he retorted, smirking gamely back at her.
(Or, Whitaker needs to learn how to waltz, Robby has a particular set of skills, and Dana and Jack have a heart to heart)

Summary
Robby follows him as Jack starts working on the coffee, taking a seat at the peninsula that divides the kitchen from the rest of the apartment.
“You still like it burned or have you gotten better taste since last time?” he teases, throwing a quick glance at Robby, who makes a face at him.
They don’t do this often, crashing at each others’ places. Jack honestly can’t remember when exactly that last time was. Close to a year, he thinks, a Pirates game with a rain delay that then went into extra innings. It’s not that they don’t hang out when their schedules allow for it, it’s just that there’s always been more of a distance in their relationship outside work, like somehow the halls (and roof) of PTMC allow for more vulnerability than the halls of their own homes.
“At this point I'll take whatever you give me and I'll like it,” Robby says, definitely with a grimace this time.
