Summary
“Look kid.” Dennis hates when Robby calls him that. Or at least when Robby does it to try and emphasise their age gap. It could be hot if Robby didn’t actually treat him like a kid. Like he is right now. “I’m flattered honestly, but you don’t want to date me.”
Dennis barely contains a scoff. Crossing his arms he straightens, standing as tall as possible. Their height difference really doesn’t help Dennis, not when Robby is literally looking down at him all the time. “I wouldn’t have asked if I didn’t want to, Robby.”

Or
Dennis is sick of Robby not taking his advances seriously, so he advances onto Jack Abbot. It helps that they both enjoy how much Robby hates them interacting- Language:

Summary
"I'm straight," Robby says, and even as the words leave his mouth, he realizes how absurd they sound. He's pressed against Whitaker in a bar bathroom, hard as a rock, tasting gin on his lips.
Whitaker goes still for a second, then starts laughing. Not mean—just genuinely amused, the sound breaking up into breathless gasps. "Okay."Robby has a sexual awakening in a bar bathroom. Dennis has the time of his life. Everyone wins!

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
