Summary
Dennis wakes in the middle of the night to some noise or shift in the air. Robby's home is already unusually quiet to Dennis, so much so Dennis has trouble sleeping after years of surfing couches, short term rentals in cramped, dormitory-style rooms, his car, and the occasional motel.
He doesn't move, trying to figure out what's different, if something is missing, like when the power goes out and everything feels strangely silent. He runs through his mental checklist: he turned off the oven, checked all the windows, locked up tight, and armed the security alarm. Dennis hasn't forgotten anything.
Dennis doesn't know how it feels to be abandoned — his family still clings to him, even though he's tried for years to shake parts of them off — but he does know what it's like not to feel worthy. To be in pain, to be afraid, to not know if the one thing he needs most is also the thing that'll end up killing him.
Robby comes home.

Summary
Robby swallows hard, making Dennis shout. It’s too loud, it’s too much, Dennis readies an apology but Robby’s looking up at him with the opposite of a reprimand. If Dennis didn’t know better, it would almost look like begging. Robby grinds his nose against Dennis’ pubic bone and Dennis realizes he’s waiting for permission.
“That’s good. Take—take a breath.” Robby does. Dennis didn’t expect the breath to sound so much like post-intubation. Relieved, desperate, terrified.
Robby clears his throat. “This might have been something else I learned on sabbatical.”

Summary
That first day, Robby had decided that, for longer than Dennis probably wanted this to last, Robby would helplessly leave his door open—for him to come unannounced, to come every day, to roll in the sheets and to linger, to place his things among Robby’s and lose sight of them, to give Robby the joy of discovering one of his sweaters, or one of his books, or one of his handwritten notes when cleaning out his closet before Pesach: unadulterated, tangible proof of him. Proof that he was to come back, proof that he was to stay.
Naturally, Robby told none of this to him.
☆
Robby goes home to Dennis after a bad shift.
