hucklerobby but it’s that one tweet:
BOSS: Know why I called you in here?
ME: Because I accidentally sent you a dick pic
BOSS [stops pouring 2 glasses of wine]
no because what if dennis went out with trinity and got actually WASTED. he's used to low point beer you can buy from a grocery store or sneaking seltzers from coolers at parties. and even then he'll only have two at the most.
so when trinity takes him out and buys him a long island ice tea, he is not prepared for the way proper liquor hits you. trinity buys him two more, of course. he's being funny and talking way more than he has in the past three weeks they've lived together. in fact, he's been acting scared of her this whole time until tonight so she loves drunk dennis.
and dennis had this old hook up. not even really a hook up, they never actually met in person. they got off the app a couple weeks ago and then the guy asked for a dick pic and dennis just never got around to sending one.
and, well, robert and robby are right next to each other in the contact list.
he doesn't realize until he checks his phone the morning after. he nearly hurls when he sees what he's done. he totally sent an illicit picture to his definitely straight, gen X boss. he's only a student and this could get him kicked out of his program. he's like actually fucked.
robby just thinks the kid got a little impulsive while drunk and finally did something about their obvious flirting. he's been grabbing the man for weeks and something had to give. robby wasn't going to make the first move until after he turned in his evaluations but if dennis felt so strongly about it...
he texts him to come over for brunch.
dennis is shitting bricks. his boss isn't even going to let him come in tomorrow to be fired. he thinks robby doesn't want him to darken the doors of PTMC.
but robby is pleasant when he opens the door. polite when he invites him in. has mimosas ready? this was a fucking odd way to fire someone that sexually harassed you.
the older man figures some hair of the dog might help with dennis's inevitable hang over. robby sat down after pouring some presecco into his flute with orange juice. "so, you know why i called you here?" not really a question, more of a statement.
dennis looks at the pastries his attending must've picked up this morning. he ruined this nice old mans day off with his terrible decision making. he couldn't even look up as he replied, "because i accidentally sent you a dick pic."
robby stopped pouring dennis's portion of champagne. "accidentally?"
