Summary
Dennis, wearing Robby's clothes around Robby's house; moving in, taking over half of the closet, half of the dresser, half of whatever he wanted, maybe more than half if that's what he asked for; gifting Robby a kiss every morning and every night that Robby doesn't deserve but would cherish with everything in him. Robby wouldn't take a second for granted. He wouldn't repeat the same mistakes that he's made time and time again in past relationships.
Fantasies are dangerous. They hurt afterward, when he manages to banish them from the forefront of his mind and replace them with what will actually happen: Dennis graduates from medical school, excels as a resident, moves on to bigger and better roles at bigger and better hospitals, falls in love with someone with zero emotional baggage, lives happily ever after.
Without Robby.
Robby isn't doing well mentally, but when is he ever?
Now, even the small moments of joy that he finds when he's with Dennis are starting to sour as Dennis insists on giving Robby an array of Hanukkah gifts. What the hell is he thinking, trying to make Robby happy like this?

Summary
Dennis takes a deep breath in to calm himself, but as he breathes out, he confesses, “Trinity made a bet with Samira that I could get anyone in the bar to buy me a drink because I kind of have a knack for it, but Samira chose you, and now they’re watching us, and I’m so sorry.”
His boss blinks at him a couple of times, probably figuring out the least problematic way to fire him or berate him for being so damn unprofessional. He should’ve just said no to Trinity and Samira and killed the vibes for the night; he’d prefer that to whatever Robby is about to say. He can already see the anger bubbling up inside him that’s going to—
“I’ll buy you a drink.”
Dennis stares at him, unblinking. After a few seconds, he manages to ask, “What?”
“I’ll buy you a drink,” Robby repeats, then leans over to pat the bar stool next to him. “But you’re going to have to earn it.”

Or, Dennis tries every trick in the book to get Dr. Robby to buy him a drink and to stay.
