dennis trying that one tiktok trend of wives telling their husbands that they can't pay the mortgage/rent for that month.
dennis is in their relationship for months now and hasn't paid a single ass thing to the brownstone/utilities/bills despite living there already so he thinks this should be fun.
(plus trinity told him to do it for fun so might as well)
it starts off innocent, they're in the living room. dennis is watching some sitcom, jack is browsing through the new edition of the journal of emergency medicine and robby's answering emails in his laptop.
dennis clears his throat, "you know, i can't help pay the mortgage this month"
robby and jack on cue look at him and dennis successfully holds his expression as if he's serious. dennis continues to watch the sitcom nonchalantly while jack and robby tilt their heads in confusion.
jack clears his throat, "honey, you know you haven't paid a single thing for this house for months now"
"and you don't pay the mortgage. jack and i pay the mortgage," robby adds before turning his attention back to his laptop and dennis shrugs
that was fast, dennis thinks to himself so he tries to take it a step further. "by the way, i also have some money saved up so i can contribute to the bills instead"
jack closes his laptop in confusion and turns to look at dennis. dennis tilts his head as if confused.
"den, we pay the bills. you're paying for nothing," jack clarifies. "you just stay there, be pretty while we pay for everything else."
"and no, you're also not paying for groceries by the way. we pay for that," robby pipes up, not taking his eyes off his laptop for a second.
dennis licks his lips, "but what if i--"
"no," both jack and robby said in unison.
"this discussion is over. you're not paying for anything," jack sternly says before opening up his laptop again to browse through the journal again.
an hour later, dennis hums as he scrolls through his phone and speaks, "i kinda want a new lingerie."
robby and jack scramble through their wallets immediately as soon as those words left his mouth and show him their cards, "take your pick."
as if dennis doesn't have those numbers and pins memorized lmao
