Hucklerobby Hyper-fixation Brain-rot
I've finished "The Pitt" season 1 and some of season 2 and Hucklerobby has infected my brain so much and is getting in the way of me writing my Secretary Hannigram fic.
SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING OF SEASON 1
I really want to write a fic that covers the year gap between season 1 and season 2 where instead of Santos finding Whitaker crashing in the hospital Robby does. His reason for letting him crash at his place is a bit selfish. He is really lonely and wouldn't mind having someone around almost like a pet he thinks to excuse himself from the idea of it being weird.
Of course he knows it a bit unethical for an attending to be living with a med student but Whitaker really has nowhere else to go. So he drives them back to his apartment and tells Whitaker to go take a shower since he knows he hasn't especially after a day of getting covered in multiple bodily fluids and otherwise.
After Whitaker gets out of the shower it could go one or two ways when Whitaker asks how he can pay Robby back for this. Robby says that he really doesn't have to, but Whitaker says theres no way he can just take advantage of him. Robby says in response "I'm sure you'll find a way to pay me back."
How Whitaker responds.
Option 1: Robby is sitting on the couch watching Tv and Whitaker takes this as he could pay him back sexually and gets on his knees, hands going for Robby's buckle and starts to undo his belt.
Robby freaks out and tells him that he really doesn't mean that kind of payment. which makes it alot more awkward and they become distant and work and at home but they eventually talk it out and why Whitaker thought that is what he meant.
Option 2: Whitaker starts working another job in addition to being at the ER where after The Pitt he goes to work at a LGBT bar (strip bar) as a bartender or otherwise. Robby barely sees him at home except for showering, sleeping, eating maybe.
Honestly, could combine the options above but…
Robby ends up following Whitaker after work to his job which Whitaker has been secretive about and maybe at the strip bar he is only a bartender but wears an interesting uniform.
Anyways, Whitaker ends up accumulating the money he thinks is good to pay Robby back and does eventually try to move out since he knows that if he keeps this up, he can rent a place of his own. Robby knows that this is killing Whitaker since he looks so tired all the time and is more clumsy.
Robby is also upset since he's grown fond of the company and even knows he has a sort of perverted crush on Whitaker. He is more protective of him and does keep more of an eye on him, which is noticed more by Dana who is able to interrogate it out of Robby that he and Whitaker are living together.
Maybe the way Santos and Whitaker become closer is that the strip bar he works at is a bar that Santos regulars at. So when Robby comes into the bar it complicates things, Santos being the only one who knows they live together and Santos over Whitaker's shifts keeps teasing him about the whole thing.
This somehow accumulates into Whitaker saying that he doesn't if he'll be able to stay with Robby anymore because he has developed feelings, and confesses while giving Robby the money he'd earned from his bar job in an envelope. Santos has also offered for him to stay at hers.
Robby trys to keep himself quiet but he just can't and tells Whitaker that he has developed an "inappropriate attachment" to the younger man, and that it would be extremely unethical for them to enter a relationship on multiple levels.
Their age gap being one of them since Whitaker is probably 27 or if we are going with Gerran Howell's age 34, and Robby is around his mid to late 50's and if we go with Noah Wyle's age 54. This is either a 20 year or 27 year age gap.
They both don't have self control and end up in bed one night, but they both agree that it would be better for Whitaker to go live with Santos to lower suspicion. They interact less at work and Whitaker uses the excuse of Amy to go over to Robby's sometimes, although there are alot of times he does go to Amy's to help on the farm.
I might write this fic in the future.
