hucklerobby actually gets SO much crazier when you remember that dennis really hasn't spent much time in the ER at all, and yet robby is still acting like this towards him.
like, post season 1, dennis spends at maximum six more weeks there with robby since he's only doing his ER roatation. he hasn't matched yet and he's still a med student. sure, we can assume that after s1 dennis keeps making a good impression on robby, and that robby picks him as a favourite very fast, but that doesn't change the fact that he spends a relatively small amount of time there.
then, before s2, dennis hasn't seen robby in at least EIGHT MONTHS. he's been doing the rest of his rotations, exams, and finally getting matched in the ER. season 2 is one of his first days back there after the majority of a year away (i can't remember if it's his second day or fourth day) during which he's not worked under robby at all or had any contact with him.
despite this, not only is robby incredibly deeply invested in dennis, what dennis is doing, how he's teaching new students, AND his personal life, he also invites dennis into his house for the next three months. he gives his housekey to a man he hasn't seen in nearly a year. he also goes on to describe dennis, who's been a resident less than a week, as "one of my best residents" to one of his best friends.
like. this is INSANE. this isn't a nearly a year long relationship between them, this is less than two months total, and robby still clearly fucking adores him. if THIS is how they act when they still barely know one another, and robby is this touchy and this possessive and this delighted by dennis, and dennis is this giddy from robby's praise, where the fuck do we go from here?? how obsessed with each other will they be of in close contact for longer??
