    Summary

    Robby frowned and looked at Jack. "Is it me or are you now off Monday through Thursday?"

    "Yeah, I figure we can drive out Tuesday morning and come back in time for my shift Friday night."

    Robby's eyebrows rose in surprise. "Did someone invite you to the cabin I rented?" Jack tilted his head and just looked at Robby, silent and expectant. After a long moment, Robby huffed a resigned laugh, like he wondered why he even bothered protesting. "Jack, would you like to come hiking with me?"

    Summary

    Dr. Michael Robinavitch is not a strong man. After a crushing day in the emergency room, he finally breaks. Instead of heading to the roof, he heads to a beat up truck and drives west with no other plans except to keep driving. A blur of time and emotion later, he finds himself in a weathered church and meets the young reverend who tends to the small town's ailments.

    Reverend Dennis Whitaker is either his salvation or damnation and Robby isn't sure which it is yet.

    Summary

    Dennis hears the revving of a motorbike engine, disturbing his reverie and making him frown. It’s late — who in their right mind is out driving around on a motorbike? He waits for it to pass, so he can slip back into thinking about Robby and dinner and what they might do after dinner, when the engine cuts out. Dennis lifts his head, eyes opening, taking a second to adjust—

    “Need a ride?” Robby asks him, holding out a spare helmet to Dennis. "Jack told me you only just left.”

    He steps forward, taking the helmet from Robby. “So you’ve been spying on me?” 

    “The whole time I’ve been gone.” Robby nods, as Dennis swings himself onto the back of the bike. He winds his arms around Robby’s waist, tucks himself in against his back, and contents himself with the familiar warmth of his body as Robby starts the bike up again.

    ~*~

    In October, Robby comes home. Dennis tries to decide what that means for them both.

    Summary

    “I don’t know what I want to do.” Dennis admits. He looks over at Robby, staring at the side of his face. They’ve been closer than this before, but being in the car together feels strangely intimate. “What would you do?”

    “If it was me… I’d at least go for that dinner. But I’m not you. You need to do what’s best for you, Dennis.” 

    There it is again, his name from Robby’s mouth. It makes his attention linger, still staring at Robby’s face. Dennis is once again overwhelmed with the urge to just bury his face in Robby’s neck and pretend the world doesn’t exist, but that’s not the grown up thing to do. He squeezes his eyes shut for a second, rubs his temples with his fingertips as Robby continues, “Carry your patients with you as much or as little as you like. Find your balance. But remember that you’re human.”

    Dennis opens his eyes to the countryside fading away and the city bleeding in. He knows Robby is right. That’s what he needs: balance. 

    In his last year of med school, Dennis learns to let go of the guilt that plagues him.

    Summary

    “...Ah, fuck.” He sighs. He really shouldn’t be even considering this. “Hey, Whittaker! Get your ass over here. You’re coming home with me.”

    or

    Dennis is struggling finding somewhere to hang out while Trinity and Garcia hook up at their apartment, and Robby just so happens to live alone. It seems like a simple solution.
