    Summary

    He kissed Jack.

    And it can't happen again.

    He's straight. Jack is straight. He just caught Jack in a weak moment; that's all it was. Jack doesn't want him. They just need to pretend like it never happened.

    *******

    Somehow, a comforting hug between friends on the roof turns into a kiss. They don't want to ruin their friendship, but they can't ignore that something has changed between them.

    Jack and Robby explore what a romantic relationship between two supposedly straight best friends looks like. Sex included.

    Summary

    It had been one of those days - the kind that scraped you down to the cartilage and called it a good save. He’d woken up with the ghost of a dream under his skin, hours before his shift even started; one of those ones where he had to just lie there to remind himself the world was still spinning. Part of him had been tempted to call Jack. He would have picked up. Taken his shift - or better, offered to come over. Then they’d do that thing where Jack would put on some shitty Spaghetti Western and keep running commentary going until Robby felt like a person again.

    Instead, he’d gotten up, gone through the motions, and into work.

    ---

    Robby doesn't know how to keep going - he knows it's more than just exhaustion. He also doesn't know how to let himself love Jack. Lucky for him, Jack knows how to do both.

    Summary

    Jack looked from the intern picture to Robby again, rubbing a tired hand over his eyes. "Jesus, this is like a recipe." He gestured between the picture and Robby, young and old. "It's like twink plus seasoning equals daddy. Fuck," he said, a kind of helpless note to it. Then he walked out, like he hadn't just dropped a bomb on Robby's head.

    What did that mean?

    Summary

    Dana caught him dozing in the rocking chair, Baby Jane Doe still in his arms.

    “36 hours, max,” she said, which is how Robby ended up in an Uber with two bags of baby gear.
