Summary
They should have gone to therapy. Instead, they went to each other.
After the PittFest disaster, Robby and Jack fall into a routine built on exhaustion, sex, and silence, anything to keep from thinking about the blood still on their hands. It was an emotionless arrangement designed purely for pleasure. At least... That was the agreed upon plan. Jack isn't good at keeping his words to himself and Robby isn't good at not letting his heart latch onto people.

Summary
It’s the spring of ‘97 when Michael Robinavitch is dragged into a gay bar for the very first time.
When he meets Jack Abbot there, the two of them are on the cusp of radically different futures: Robby is about to begin his residency, and Jack is leaving for the army. They know better than to get attached - know the timing is wrong, the goodbye inevitable - but something tender takes root anyway. Through every deployment, Jack thinks of Robby more than he ought to; through every failed relationship, Robby wonders about what might've been.
Years later, when their paths cross again at PTMC, the past resurfaces — and though they’re older, more jaded, and scarred in different ways, they find themselves pulled towards everything they left unfinished.
