summary: robby overhears something he isnât supposed to and takes it as a challenge rather than an insult.
a/n: random thought I had before bed last night
Though no one will say it out loud, the day shift at PTMC is in a bit of lull and everyone is greatful for it-nowâs the best time for you to catch up on charting, and the best time for Trinity to approach you with a devious look in her eyes. She leans her forearms against the counter, a smirk playing at her lips. Dennis, who is setting next to you in the other free chair, groans.
âNo, Santos,â you mutter.
âI didnât even say anything,â she protests, raising her hands in mock offense.
âYou didnât have to, youâre acting suspicious,â Dennis offers.
âShut up, Huckleberry.â She turns to you, âCanât a girl just come talk to her friend during some downtime?â
You donât look up from your computer as you respond, âis that what we are?â
Trinity huffs at your dry response, âand I thought I was the bitchiest one here.â
âThatâs obviously Robby,â you retort, your lips barely tugging into a smile.
Santosâ eyes sparkle with amusement as she leans closer to you and Dennis, âspeaking of Dr. RobbyâŠâ
You pause your typing, the cursor blinking at you mockingly as you fight between your desire to finish your charts and indulge your friend.
âWho do you think is hotter, him or Dr. Abbot,â Trinity asks teasingly.
Whitaker lets out a strangled gasp, eyes widening as he looks around thr floor, hoping no one has heard, âTrinity?!â
You, on the other hand, only smile, biting your lower lip in thought, âdepends on what youâre into. If youâre into the whole mysterious, silver fox thing, then Abbot. But if you like the grumpy, dad bod vibe, you go for Robby.â
Trinity shrugs, ignoring her roommate, âsure. But what do you think.â
âGuys, I really donât think-â
âRobby,â you answer calmly, turning back to your computer.
Dennisâ eyes widen impossibly larger and Trinity outright laughs, drawing the attention of Perlah and Dana. The latter cocks her eyebrow at the three of you, indicating you need to wrap up your conversation in honor of being productive.
âYouâd really date Robby over Abbot?â Whitaker mutters harshly, cheeks a little pink.
âWoah, woah, woah,â you say, holding your hand up, âslow down, farm boy, I never said anything about dating. The question was about whoâs hotter.â
âLook, I might think Dr. Robby is more attractive, but Abbot would be a better boyfriend by far. Despite the occassional emotional constipation and reckless hobby, heâs sweet. And, clearly, doesnât have issues with commitment. Robby though- everyone knows about his seven week itches, and, like I said, heâs a bitch.â
Michael Robinavitch isnât often in a good mood at work these days, but to hear his (secretly) favorite coworker call him a bitch, even behind his back, is a bit of a rude awakening. Michael knows heâs been snippy, and he really should give Jackâs therapist a call sometime, but a bitch? He feels thatâs a bit drastic.
The chief attending knows he really shouldnât care. Heâs fifty fucking years old for Christâs sake- too old to be caring about what other people think of him. Yet, your words linger in his mind. Where is this coming from anyways? He thought today had been better than some in awhile, but clearly heâs still done something to piss someone off⊠piss you off.
Subtly, Robby moves closer to your conversation without being detected, iPad shoved closer to his face.
âWell, you know, heâs not always a-â Dennis protests, the fight flickering out of him when Trinity gives a look.
âSurely Robby has something to offer with all the women who are always falling all over him?â he offers instead.
Trinity snickers, âyeah, money. And maybe a big d-â
âOkay!â you say loudly, standing from your chair rather abruptly, âI think thatâs about enough of that, Trin. Donât you have charting to do?â
âBut teasing you about your attraction to Robby is wayyyy more fun!â she replies as you walk away, ignoring her.
Michael feels heat rush to his cheeks. You think heâs attractive? But you also think heâs a bitchâŠ.
He watches as you walk away, figure showing just slightly through your scrubs.
Perhaps he needs to prove you wrong.
