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 had just stepped back onto the main floor when he clocked movement at the ambulance entrance, two guys hurrying in, the smaller one helping a guy with a sweatshirt covered in blood. But something was wrong, some unnamable instinct rising within Jack at the way they moved. It was too fluid, too controlled. Jack knew what the walking wounded looked like, had seen it for years, from war zones to bar fights. This wasn't the injured seeking help; this was men hunting.
Time slowed, Jack's heart rate spiking, the adrenaline dump casting everything in sharp relief—the full ED floor, patients plus shift change meaning twice the usual personnel were here.
Robby was here.
That thought got him moving, Jack approaching laterally. He got there right as the guns came out.

“Jack?”
He blinks up at her, his hazel eyes wide and his mouth slack.
“What do you need?”
He swallows and her eyes trace his throat, watching the way his Adam’s apple bobs.
“Can you just…” His hands flex at her hips. “I don’t want to think right now.”
