    Summary

    “I haven’t really been to a wedding where I’ve, uh… let loose. But, hey,” Dennis shrugged, “maybe I’m doing it wrong.”

    “If I hadn’t already agreed to go to this conference, I’d offer to go with you,” Robby said casually. “Show you how it’s done. I’ve got a good track record as a plus-one, too.” Dennis had to say something. To interrupt. To shut this down. But what was he supposed to say? No, you can’t be my plus one, because I lied about my cousin, and there is no wedding, and it seems a little weird to bring a date to a fucking funeral– “Apparently parents love it when you bring home a doctor.”

    And just like that, the bubble popped.

    “I’m not gay,” Dennis snapped.

    He had never hated the sound of his own voice as much as he did right then.

    ---
    Or, Dennis is anxiously headed home for a "wedding" in Broken Bow, Nebraska, the details of which are increasingly fuzzy. Robby's got a medical conference in Omaha that same weekend. So they carpool. Seventeen hours both ways in an enclosed space with no way out except a tuck and roll. This'll go great.

    I'm not saying fucking Whitaker would fix all of Robby's problems, but, like, he could try it.

    Summary

    Several months into playing house, Amy finally makes clear what she wants from Dennis. His reaction to her desire—or lack thereof—sends him spiraling about his failure to be the man she needs. Naturally, Dennis does what anyone would do in that situation: holes up in his boss’ bachelor pad, calls said boss on sabbatical, and speed-runs a sexuality crisis over the phone.

    Oh, and he also has life-changing phone sex with his boss while he’s outside a roadside bar in Fargo, North Dakota. It’s an eventful evening, to say the least.

    Or: A thesis on Dennis Whitaker, masculinity, and compulsory heterosexuality.

    Summary

    Dennis's words climb back up. "You just… you assume things, you make decisions, you act like you know what's best for everyone—"

    Robby's gaze is fixed on him. Dennis's broad shoulders are coiled tight; there’s an angry, pink flush creeping up his neck; his long fingers keep clenching into fists and unclenching at his sides.

    "—and you don't even see how fucking condescending that is, how it makes me feel like I'm— like I'm not even a person to you, just some project—"

    Robby watches Dennis unwravel under the weak spill of the streetlight filtering in through the window, his curls flashing copper and gold, his voice hoarse and furious and he knows he should calm him down, shout back, beg for forgiveness.

    But he can't.

    He's never seen anything more beautiful.

    or: robby comes back from his sabbatical to find dennis whitaker absolutely furious with him. this is, unexpectedly, not the worst thing that's ever happened to him
