    Summary

    "You want me to go?"

    That's the last thing Jack wants. "Stay, please, you know you're always welcome."

    Robby relaxes, and he carries on stirring

    Jack interrupts the quiet once more with the other question that's been on the tip of his tongue.

    "Why haven't you left?"

    Robby freezes. He doesn't turn around, doesn't look at Jack, like it's easier to be honest this way.

    "Because I think if I go, I won't come back."

    ******

    After the end of 2x15. Robby turns up at Jack's house instead of going on his sabbatical and then just....doesn't leave

    Summary

    “I’m- I can’t convince myself to commit to a longer stay,” Robby admits, frustrated by it. “It’d be better for actually getting somewhere with antidepressants, I know, but I feel like once I take away the work and the bike and everything else I do… there’s a clock on how long I can be naked like that. When it runs out, if I’m not back on the right side, I’ll get stuck as nothing, forever.” Robby drops his face into his hand. “Why does this sound like The Little Mermaid?” he moans.

    “Is this the kind of place where they throw a black bag over your head and smash your SIM card, or can I still talk to you?” Jack asks.

    ~After a scare on his road trip, Robby does two weeks of inpatient care in Wisconsin... and you'll never guess who he uses his phone time on~

    Summary

    Four hours into his shift, Jack was out in the ambulance bay, trying his best not to kick the damn bike – he’d been over there every hour, checking that it hadn’t moved. He’d even checked the abandoned wing, but had to admit it: Robby was nowhere to be found.

    He looked at his phone for the fifth time in less than a minute. Fuck it, what was the point of his therapist saying “feel free to call in case of emergency” every week for the past five years if Jack never took her up on it?

    The phone rang only once before a worried voice answered, “Jack?”

    “I need you to talk me out of tracking Robby down and locking him up in my basement,” he spat.
    .
    Or: after Robby's done rocking Baby Jane Doe, the bike doesn't move, Robby takes shelter, and Jack's heart is tested.
