Robby checking in on Frank during shifts, and especially during shifts when they do not work together. To know how the shift is going, to know that Frank is doing okay. Wanting to hear his voice when they're apart.

Frank doing something silly (for example, wanting to make a snow angel, or participate in a snowball fight) whilst Robby would want to stay away at any cost, but, instead, he can barely push down a smile. Hell, maybe he watches Frank laughing and goofing around and goes, "Oh, screw it." And joins him and they both get to feel so much joy, as if they're kids again and everything is a wonder.

Frank doing a regular thing, something as simple as brewing coffee in the morning, and Robby looks at him with such adoration and tenderness, anyone could have guessed that something is going on between them—given the glimpse of the way Robby just quietly leans on the doorway and watches Frank.

Robby being the one who watches Frank sleep. Even though he gets to do so over and over, he still can't get enough.

Robby being the one who starts nuzzling up to Frank first, murmuring, waking him up gently.

Robby initiating morning kisses and cuddles.

Robby wanting to take Frank out, give him gifts.

Robby wanting to walk alongside with Frank for hours, holding his hand.

Robby initiating the first kiss on that bridge and then setting the picture of the bridge as Frank's contact photo. "Langdon" and the photo of the bridge, no one from work would suspect anything. But then it's so sentimental and only he and Frank get to share the knowledge of what it actually means.

And honesty, not even making it about Robby... "You're doing good, kid. I'm proud of ya."

Either way, Dana giving Frank a hug on screen. And Frank being stiff and awkward at first, but then relaxing and melting into that hug. Hugging Dana tighter and tighter, being oh SO grateful.

Frank yearning for what used to be. Although wounded by everything Robby has said and done to him, still deeply in love with Robby. Hoping that maybe one day they will get back together.

And it's a flash of pain and it scares the hell out of Robby?

All they need to do is chance the position and wait a bit but a) would Robby be able to continue? even if he would, I feel like he'd treat Langdon with care, very gently (and Langdon can be a brat after some time because he's sick of Robby being overly cautious: "I'm not gonna melt or break if you fuck me hard" b) Robby never, ever forgets that painful expression on Frank's face and the involuntary shaking/movement, perhaps even collapsing backwards/to the side?
