Summary
Dennis has never really noticed what the locker room sounds like. Unintelligible conversation from the hallway, faint beeping from the floor, a squeaky pipe yelling somewhere above them. All of it’s background noise compared to the sound of Robby inhaling his shirt, his breath catching on an almost sound, like something trapped behind bars.
Dennis legs feel like they evaporated. “What—”
“Might if I borrow this,” Robby says, voice cracking, almost as if he’s about to laugh but his face is ashen. His eyes are everywhere except for Dennis’ face. And before Dennis can answer or scream or drop to his knees, Robby’s jogging out the door.
“Sure!” Dennis says a minute later. “Have a good night!”
A zillion times Dennis fluffs Robby for Noelle, one time he doesn’t.

Summary
Jack’s voice cuts through his daydreaming. “Y’know, I always say you’ve never really listened to a band unless you’ve seen them live—” A buzz as his pager goes off. “Shit—gotta go.” He points at Trinity, addressing her as he says, “Stay away from sharp objects, the only time I wanna see you in here is when you’re being paid for it.” As he exits the room, he brushes a hand gently on Dennis’s shoulder, over the soft fabric of Robby’s shirt. “See you around, kid.”
The door shuts softly behind him and Trinity and Dennis both immediately start talking:
“Dr. Abbot’s kind of more of a dick than I thought he was—”
“Do you think it’s fucked up if I think my boyfriend’s best friend is hot—”

Summary
“I could use a housesitter while I’m out. Just someone to check in on the place, maybe give it a light dusting once a week. Make sure it’s not burnt down or flooded in some freak accident. Of course you’re welcome to stay over, too. It’s my understanding that Doctor Santos’s relationship with Doctor Garcia is… flourishing. And that maybe you’d both do well with more privacy.”
Dennis’s feet slowed as they approached a covered bus stop, finally stilling once they were underneath the metal sign indicating the stop number. “That is true. I mean, yeah, I could drop by, keep an eye on things, stay over on date nights that are always at our place for some reason...”
