Work Text:
it was a slow day at the pitt but the day was soon coming to an end. Robby had just given a handoff to Jack, your boyfriend of 2 years. You could’ve gone home but you decided to linger and take your time.
“Girl” Trinity slides up beside you at the hub “have you seen that trend on tiktok where you make a comment about seeing someone you know on tinder and wait to see how long it takes your significant other to notice?”
You furrow your eyebrows as you think and then your eyes widen.
“Oh my god yes, that shit is funny as hell” you giggle, leaning your head on Trinity’s shoulder .
She shoves your arm playfully.
“Imagine how Abbot would react if you did that.”
“You mean my silently possessive, military conditioned, volunteer SWAT member boyfriend? Yes I guarantee he won’t have a cow about it at allllll.” the sarcasm is obvious through your laugh.
“Pssh c’monnn girl, does he even know what Tinder is?” she questions shaking your arm.
Your smile grows bigger “Maybe? Robby’s probably talked about it with him at some point.”
Trinity claps her hands loudly making you jump.
“That’s it! Say you saw Robby’s profile. It’s perfect!”
You shake your head in amusement.
“Okay but if he gets upset, I'm not making lasagna this weekend.”
“WHAT? Okay okay trust me it wont even come to that. Don’t threaten my favorite meal!” she begs.
You roll your eyes as you both wait for Jack to seek you out.

Not even an hour later and Jack makes his way to the nurses station in search of you. You see him come around the hall corner and scan the room until his eyes land on you.
He smiles wide as he walks over.
“Hey honey,” he kisses the side of your head “thought I missed ya leaving.”
You smile up at him from where you’re sitting.
“As if I would leave without saying goodbye.”
He chuckles as he pulls a chart and leans on the front of the desk and starts writing.
You look up and see Trinity make eye contact with you from the other end of the hub. She throws two thumbs up at you.
You grin a little before pulling out your phone.
“Oh my god that’s crazy.”
“What is?” Trinity asks to aid in the joke.
You look to her
“It’s Robby”
The name causes Jack to look up from the chart and at you.
“What? What about Robby, baby?”
You shake your head and raise your eyebrows.
“He’s on tinder. Didn’t know he was serious when he said he was looking for someone to break the seven week thing he has going on.”
“Oh yeah,” Jack says and looks back at the chart “said he was ‘serious’ this time. Love him but I don’t think he’ll stick with it right now.”
You furrow your eyebrows and look at Trinity. She shrugs, just as surprised as you.
She stands up and walks over to your side.
“Have you seen Mateo’s account yet?”
You shake your head playing along.
“No but if I do, I'm swiping left so fast. He’s like a brother to me.”
Jack doesn’t join in, clearly engrossed in the current chart he has.
You let out a dramatic huff.
“Hmm?” He looks towards you.
“Nothing baby” you sigh as you lean your head back against the chair.
Prank: failed.
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
Jack leaves you and Trinity at the hub to find Robby for clarification on a chart.
He finds him in an exam room with Mateo as they clean up and restock.
Robby quickly helps him with the chart so it’s correct.
Jack leans against the doorway.
“My girl told me you’re finally on Tinder. Proud of you for putting yourself out there brother.”
Robby and Mateo look up.
“Thanks man, I'm hoping it goes well. Not sure what will happen.”
Mateo still looks at Jack with raised eyebrows.
Jack stares back with a confused expression.
“Spit it out Diaz, what’s wrong?”
“You said your girlfriend saw Robby on Tinder?”
“Yeah?” Jack nods slowly.
Mateo laughs a bit.
“So, your girlfriend saw Robby’s Tinder account. A dating app where you have to have an account to see anyone else’s account.”
Jack stares at him and they notice the moment it clicks for him.
“Oh fuck no.”
He then takes off at a jog in search of you.
“Some social media prank I’m assuming?” Robby asks with a smirk as he continues restocking.
“Oh you know it.” Mateo laughs.

You’re sitting in the break room getting ready to leave in a few minutes when quick footsteps grab your attention.
Looking up you see Jack walk in.
“Give me your phone.”
You scrunch your eyebrows.
“Uh why?”
He gets closer and tries grabbing it from you but you move it out of his reach.
“Nuh uh, what are you doing J?”
He huffs and leans all in your space to grab the phone.
“You have a tinder.”
Then it clicks.
He finally got it.
You try and hold back a smile.
“Now who said I did?”
He crowds you against the table, chest pressed to yours.
“Mateo said you can only see Tinder accounts if you have one.”
You try and hold in your laugh but fail as your body shakes from the giggles.
“Oh my g-god. I-I can’t” you laugh with a massive smile.
He looks at you confused.
“What’s funny?”
“It’s just a prank baby” you lay a hand on his bicep.
His hand goes to your hip.
“So, no Tinder account?”
You shake your head “No Tinder account baby. Pinky promise.”
He leans his forehead against yours and lets out a quiet laugh.
“Thank god. You can’t leave me sweetheart.”
You bring your other hand to his face and pull back to look him in the eyes.
“Wouldn’t dream of it.”
He kisses you briefly.
“HA YOU FELL FOR THAT. PRANK WAS A SUCCESS” a voice yells from the hallway.
He looks towards the doorway and then back to you.
“Santos?”
You grin and nod.
“Santos.”
