— baby MS1s omega!robby and alpha!jack are relatively close, disregarding the unrelenting invisible straight arm in the form of defensive scent that keeps jack just outside of arms reach
— jack respects it; tries to send out similar signals. he learns after a few beers that robby isn’t looking for anyone, doesn’t want anyone. he’s totally committed to matching into emergency medicine and it’s hard enough as it is with his designation, much less a mate in his ear telling him to settle down
— the last thing jack wants robby to do is settle down
— he admires his wit, his determination, …
— all the qualities about robby that strike a fire in his big brown eyes that jack totally doesn’t think about when he jerks off quickly in the shower
— jack’s able to redirect his unrequited crush into his school work
— and it goes well; so well that they earn a reputation for being totally untouchable
— robby, a beautiful if not a bit intimidating omega with a slender frame and elegant, well-bred neck
— jack, the jock alpha who may be wrestling with his sexuality, because who wouldn’t be so close to an omega like robby and not lock that down or at least tap it every waking moment
— they’re the perfect, sexless match to approach when an OB lab on campus is looking to produce a new documentary about mating rituals
— jack’s face burns so red his freckles disappear when he thinks about the kind of video he’s been asked to shoot
— he remembers having to watch something similar in sex ed
some nsfw under cut
— it was wholly unsexy; MRI shots of a knot forming inside an omega, the sterile sounds of exam table paper crinkling as the alpha actor thrust into the whimpering omega in stirrups
— the proposed goal of the lab was to create something more realistic; artificial nest, an actual claiming bite scene, less focus on rigidly reported fluid statistics and more on examining the subtleties of the interaction
— medicine had advanced such that a bite could be reversed 99.9% effectively within the first 10 minutes of skin puncture, a medical miracle that was integral in the porn jack watched, where blissed out, lithe omegas get bit and licked and whine out their allegiance to their new mate
— jack agrees hastily to the research project
— he knows robby was offered the omega roll and every day he spends considering accepting makes jack feel like he’s on fire
— until one day, there’s a leak in robby’s apartment
— and his textbooks are ruined, and he does need the money…
— jack and robby are in the library, jack’s leg bouncing while robby groans about what a pain it would be to take a heat inducer in the middle of a literal heat wave on campus
— and jack nods along dumbly, feeling like a knothead asshole for barely processing a single word robby is saying until
— robby says he’ll do it
— and jack heart aches when he says he wouldn’t do it with any other alpha
— because he believes robby doesn’t see him as an option
— he’s the safest alpha to film with because there’s absolutely no way they’ll be in the .1% that the bond blocker fails for, robby laughs and his eyes crinkle with an ambiguous emotion
— jack buries his primal sadness and it starts to dawn on him that he’s about to live every alpha on campus’s dream
— except he doesn’t want to trap robby down or claim him like a prize
— he’s determined to make him feel good
— but the small, evil thought persists that maybe he can make robby see the biological light and pair with him for good
passed a truck on the road this morning that had a bumper sticker that said “limpin’ and pimpin’” with a prosthetic leg on it and I just KNOW thats some shit Jack Abbot would put on the tailgate of his GMC Sierra
hc that robby smacks dennis's ass all the time- like, numerous times a day. usually when they're at home, but he'll manage at work too. any time he's behind dennis? he's smacking it. dennis has a nice, round, jiggly ass- it would be rude not to.
dennis in return decides to start smacking robby's ass. however, the first time he tries it, he realises that robby's ass is as flat as a plank. he's basically smacking bone, rather than plump flesh like he has. after a few shocked moments where the two men stare at each other and marvel at just how nonexistent robby's ass really is, dennis comes up with a solution.
the "my favorite character did nothing wrong" mindset is completely unappealing to me because i love thinking about all the things my favorite characters did wrong
