   Summary

   Dennis Whitaker has had a crush on Jack Abbot since the first time he saw him. Jack? Well, the kid is nothing if not at least reliable. But his opinion changes during Robby's absence - his best friend may be onto something.

   Or-

   Robby inadvertently fumbles Dennis and Jack gets to be made a priority, a first choice, the center of a young mans endless attention.

    

   This is my first fic playing with HTML and adding text bubbles in. Hopefully it all looks good!

   More chapters to be added at a later date. Can currently be read alone.
