Summary
That he actually managed to sleep, not just through the night, but well into the morning was was why Robby loved sleepovers as much as he did. His body was comfortably warm beneath the soft grey blanket. Not too hot thanks to the cool of the fan on his nightstand gently ruffling his hair. Not too cold even with the absence of his bed partner.

Summary
Robby bows his head. He says, "If you are going to be there with me, in the waiting room, or, hell, sitting on the couch beside me, I feel like I need to justify who you are to me."

Summary
Jack flashed a grin, but didn't let himself get distracted. "Fun message I got today. It seems that someone rode his midlife crisis to work while conspicuously not wearing a helmet."
Underneath his hand, Robby stilled, his heart beating faster than normal. "What?" he asked, but that was a stall, Robby playing for time to decide on his approach. Which was cute, really, but Jack knew all his tricks.

Summary
Darnell nodded, glancing over Robby like he was trying to place him in the hierarchy of important to ignorable and it could go either way. "What's this?"
"MSF FNG," Jack shot back. Whatever that meant, he sounded amused.
Darnell scoffed and looked to Robby, expression going decidedly unimpressed. "Oh, yeah? You here to find yourself? Have an adventure? Do something hard?" he asked, each question more mocking than the last.
And there was that question again, like it was haunting Robby. He stifled his instinct to bite back and kept it simple: "I'm here to help."
