    Summary

    “Do you even know how to act besotted?”

    Alhaitham’s brows furrow. For a second, Kaveh wonders if he’s finally managed to stump the great Acting Grand Sage. And then… “I’ll manage.”

    A groan. “Of course you will.” Another fidget of his foot. “Were the wedding papers really necessary, though?”

    … Perhaps he ought to explain that part, too.

    Or, Kaveh reads a top-secret report on Alhaitham's desk and insists that they take matters into their own hands, which somehow leads to them signing marriage papers and going undercover in Mondstadt.

    Summary

    "It's not a thing. Occasional…casual…" Why was he justifying himself to his 17-year-old not-kid? He took a breath. "A month? We're not dating or anything. And it's completely top secret. You can't tell anyone. Not your mom, not Langdon, especially not Nurse Dana."

    Jake swallowed, eyes fixed on Jack as he finally walked into the kitchen, moving to make coffee, the picture of at-ease, as if they were well-established and not freaking the kid out. "Right. Your secret situationship is safe with me," he agreed.

    "What's a situationship?" Jack asked, looking over his shoulder.

    "I -- maybe you should get one of the kids at work to explain it," he said, going red again, sinking down in the seat as if the kitchen table itself might swallow him.

    Summary

    When Robby develops hanahaki, Jack is concerned, obviously. He's also secretly, guiltily relieved. Because hanahaki is curable, and Jack is pretty damn sure he knows the cure.

    Now if only Robby would stop lying to him.

    "I'm not pretending anything," Robby says. "But in retrospect, I'm not even convinced the origin is respiratory. It could be GI."

    "Mike."

    "I do have GERD," Robby offers.

    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

    "Jack?"

    Robby's voice entered the room before he did, and soon Jack could feel his presence even without opening his eyes. The lights were turned down, the door was closed, and he could smell Robby's musky mid-shift scent. The scrubs and hand sanitizer and sweat. The smell of adrenaline and exhaustion.

    "In the flesh…" he drawled sleepily without moving. Suddenly his entire body hurt.

    "Dana says you did a real number on your hand. Can I see?"

    "Suit yourself."

    Robby gently pulled Jack's hand out of the pocket and over to him. He didn't look it over, didn't move anything, just held it. The goal, for the moment, was just to touch him. "You need ice and an x-ray."

    "I know."

    "And your ring…" Robby started a little quieter. He was hesitant but firm. There was no choice. "I don't think I can save it."
