Summary
"Alright, message received," Jack says. His grin is sharklike. "Dennis is all yours, Robby."
Dennis's blush intensifies, and Robby's hand falls from his back to scratch his own beard instead. His cheeks look a little red, too, now that Dennis looks closely. Maybe he didn't take Jack's comment as the joke that it clearly was. He's uncomfortable, Dennis realizes. He's uncomfortable with someone joking about me being his.
"I'll leave you guys to it," Dennis blurts out.
"Oh," Robby starts, but Dennis is already walking away, pissed at Jack for making such a dumb joke and pissed at himself for not laughing at it.
Professionally, Dennis's life is going great. He nails his residency interview at PTMC and—with Robby's help, of course—is on track to getting a fellowship position in Emergency Pediatrics someday.
Romantically, not so good. He's still harboring a crush on his boss, who's just trying to be a good mentor by doing things like buying him snacks, chauffeuring him to and from work, taking him out to dinner... just normal mentor things.
