jack, like every other long time colleagues of robby, gives the man so much shit about whitaker following him around โlike a sad, wet, lost, little puppyโ. except jack, because heโs jack and he doesnโt do things by halves, took it so far that at some point, he just started referring to dennis as โthe puppyโ to robby.
โhey man, good shift? puppy saved the day again?โ
โbrother, iโm starting to think you need to bring some spare clothes to the pitt, just for the puppy. does he really spill things on himself that often?โ
as much as robby doesnโt hates it, he knows itโs pointless to tell jack to stop. if anything, telling the other man to quit it would give him an incentive to become even worse.
so robby just takes it, until one day it just slips. in front of the kid.
jack finally gets to see the dennis whitaker in action, and holy fuck if heโs not impressed. itโs been a pretty rough shift so far, and whitaker has been handling it way better than he would have at his age. now, heโs in the break room, resting his leg and talking with the kid when robby enters.
โyou were right, brother,โ he says in lieu of a greeting. โkid is goodโ. robby can see the kidโs ears going a little pink, but doesnโt call him out.
โyeah ?โ, he asks sitting on the empty sit next to whitaker. the kid sandwiched between them now, with jack to his left, and robby to his right.
โyeah. might trynna convince him to permanently switch to nightsโ jackโs laughing, but robby knows better. because whitaker is that good, and heโs not about to let jack steal his favourite MS4, no way. he needs dennis with him - for very professional reasons, of course.
โyou trynna steal the puppy from me, jack ?โ
any other day, it wouldโve gotten a hearty laugh from jack as he mocks robby for the slip up. but not today.
because today, dennis is here, between the two attendings. and if the kid was a little pink before, heโs as red as a tomato now. robby resolutely does not picture how far down the blush must go under the scrubs.
heโs about to apologise to whitaker for making him uncomfortable, but well, the way the kidโs firmly looking at the ground and pressing his legs together right now ? yeah, robby can tell itโs the good kind of uncomfortable.
something hot stirs in robbyโs stomach, and he finally stops trying to reign these feelings in after all these months, finally indulges himself fully.
he and jack share a look. the other manโs pupils are so dilated, robby has never seen his best friendโs pretty blue eyes look so dark.
when jackโs tongue comes out to wet his lips, robbyโs eyes track the movement. jack looks up and down dennis whitakerโs body, taking in the flustered, the nervous swallowing, and god, is the kid shaking ? after a bit, he finally speaks.
โwell, you donโt mind sharing, do you brother ?โ
