Summary
He kissed Jack.
And it can't happen again.
He's straight. Jack is straight. He just caught Jack in a weak moment; that's all it was. Jack doesn't want him. They just need to pretend like it never happened.
*******
Somehow, a comforting hug between friends on the roof turns into a kiss. They don't want to ruin their friendship, but they can't ignore that something has changed between them.
Jack and Robby explore what a romantic relationship between two supposedly straight best friends looks like. Sex included.

Summary
“I’m- I can’t convince myself to commit to a longer stay,” Robby admits, frustrated by it. “It’d be better for actually getting somewhere with antidepressants, I know, but I feel like once I take away the work and the bike and everything else I do… there’s a clock on how long I can be naked like that. When it runs out, if I’m not back on the right side, I’ll get stuck as nothing, forever.” Robby drops his face into his hand. “Why does this sound like The Little Mermaid?” he moans.
“Is this the kind of place where they throw a black bag over your head and smash your SIM card, or can I still talk to you?” Jack asks.
~After a scare on his road trip, Robby does two weeks of inpatient care in Wisconsin... and you'll never guess who he uses his phone time on~

Summary
Robby hummed. "You didn't check the schedule, did you? Mohan volunteered to cover for Shen. She's been listed for a double since Thanksgiving." Robby raised his hands in defense at the look Jack gave him, "She insisted on the double, said with McKay and Shen both out for the holiday, we'd need coverage on both shifts and that she was the best option. Anyone else and I would have said no, but we both know she's right."

Summary
Robby follows him as Jack starts working on the coffee, taking a seat at the peninsula that divides the kitchen from the rest of the apartment.
“You still like it burned or have you gotten better taste since last time?” he teases, throwing a quick glance at Robby, who makes a face at him.
They don’t do this often, crashing at each others’ places. Jack honestly can’t remember when exactly that last time was. Close to a year, he thinks, a Pirates game with a rain delay that then went into extra innings. It’s not that they don’t hang out when their schedules allow for it, it’s just that there’s always been more of a distance in their relationship outside work, like somehow the halls (and roof) of PTMC allow for more vulnerability than the halls of their own homes.
“At this point I'll take whatever you give me and I'll like it,” Robby says, definitely with a grimace this time.

OR, five times Jack comes home to Robby unexpectedly at his place, plus one. -

Summary
Samira Mohan was very good at compartmentalizing. She was also very good at not being chosen. Always second place, always close, but not quite. Salutatorian in high school, second chair in violin, below Langdon to Robby, and always an afterthought to her mother after her fathers death. Not being chosen by Abbot was just another thing to add to the list.
