Summary
Jack sighs. “No, man. I’m not your jailor. That’s not- Look, I will put you on my fucking back and carry you to the finish line. Your feet will never touch the ground.” He tips his head back and closes his eyes. “This is the part you have to do yourself. You have to walk over the line in your own shoes. But I’ll be at your side, okay? I won’t leave you behind.”

Summary
“All of this excess weight puts you at increased risk for heart disease, stroke, type two diabetes, and other metabolic syndromes. It’s past time to take action, Michael.” Dr. Fawcett sits on a wheeled stool beside him. Part of what Robby likes about her is that she doesn’t treat him like a doctor. It gives him permission to misunderstand or ignore the symptoms he should have clocked in his own body much earlier. Symptoms he would have noticed in patients immediately.
“Your BMI is pushing you into a danger zone. We need to talk about diet, exercise, and addressing the level of stress in your life. Too much cortisol and you’ll just be canceling out any lifestyle changes.” Her hands are cool and professional as she palpates his abdomen. Robby considers the ceiling while she finishes his physical exam. When was the last time he used BMI in his treatment of a patient?
Message received: he has to lose weight. Doctor’s orders.

Summary
Around six in the morning, Ellis expertly places a chest tube in a thirty-seven-year-old stabbing victim, and when Jack leans over to inspect it, he is staring straight into the jagged, bloody hole in Private Milton's ribcage. The lights in T2 flicker and Jack can hear the whip of heavy canvas walls as a brutal storm rips across the desert. Milton is the one Jack had no chance of putting back together but he still tried. Fifty-five minutes of rapid infusion and internal cardiac massage and then he had called it, Milton's flat, empty heart in his hand.
Jack doesn't flinch while looking into the abyss of flesh and bone but he does lie to Ellis. "Looks good. Monitor the output, grab me after CT or if he goes south."

Summary
"Well. As far as cries for help go, it's a bit rough." Jack is staring at the old, dusty motorcycle in front of him. He’s not sure if he would feel more charitable about the thing if he’d known it would be here when he got home. "And for a mid-life crisis sports car, it's missing two wheels. Hope they sold it to you for half the price.”
Two ER physicians allow a donorcycle into their home? Sure, Jan.

Summary
It feels like Robby waits until Jack is settled on the couch, leg off, lotion scar kit out, and the Pens game on to stride into the room and drop the Langdon bomb on him. Jack sucks in a breath and watches until the Pens predictably fail to take advantage of their power play before he flips the tv off and tosses the remote onto the coffee table.
“The fuck, Robby?”
— Or:
Three days after Pittfest, Robby and Jack are both a little haunted.

Summary
When Robby turns, Jack is standing in the doorway, leaning against the doorframe.
Neither of them speaks. Jack is staring at him in that way– the way he looked that night, twenty fucking years ago, all unreserved heat and everything unspoken.
He pushes off the doorframe and moves forward.

Summary
Sometimes.
Every now and again.
Jack and Robby fuck.
There’s no real rhyme or reason for when it happens. It’s not always after a difficult shift, and it rarely happens when they both have the day off. Just sometimes, every now and again, Jack will turn up at Robby’s home, or Robby will knock on Jack’s apartment door, and when that happens, they just head straight for the bedroom.
****
Robby and Jack's very secret, very casual relationship gets discovered at work and Robby struggles to deal with being the center of attention
