Summary
“You are so fuckin’ weird, man.” Lifting his cargo, Jack makes room for himself to sidle in with the turn of his shoulders. “I got groceries. You better not have stolen her.”
“I did not steal her,” Robby gives as good as Hello, Jack in a venomously tender whisper, and stands aside.
Jack lifts the slab of Yuengling at a jaunty angle. “Think she’ll want one?”

Summary
"It's late to start riding," Jack said as Robby straightened, a neutral statement that was a protest nonetheless. They knew how to say things without saying anything, the two of them.
Maybe that was part of the problem.
Robby stared down at the still-sleeping baby. "I have a lot of things to see," he said, almost to himself, a double layer to that, one that Jack found oddly heartening.
"And people to love," he said, taking a flier on it because why the fuck not.

Summary
The ED is thrumming when he arrives. Robby intercepts him at the lockers and hands off a tablet with a chart already populated.
“Water slide collapse earlier today. Only a few majors, thank god.”
“Yeah. Heard it on the scanner,” Jack replies, absently. The screen lights up his pale face, freckles popping under dark smudged eyes.
Jack doesn't need any more referrals.

Summary
Robby has spent years filing his feelings for Jack away under safer guises— friendship, companionship, collegial affection— because those nomenclatures demanded nothing of him, required no explanation, threatened no irreversible shift in the careful architecture of their relationship, both inside and out of the hospital.
The term he kept coming back to, though, was brother.
