v. amor fati - ft @pittcaptain
Having briefly met in NO during the aftermath of Katrina, they started working together in 2009 when Jack joined PTMC. They quickly became close, though Jack stubbornly still clung to a "deployment" lifestyle. It made Robby question his attachment to what had become his best friend, only to realize that he was in love with him around 2013. They got together in 2015, only for Robby to propose in 2017 when Jack joined Swat because no way in hell that was going to happen without Robby being able to be in charge if anything happened. They eloped, between two shifts , at the court house, with Dana and Weylen as witness. The promise of a ceremony never was fulfilled as Covid hit. Covid hit and grief and duty took over Robby's heart, guilt and surrender took Jack's. While their relationship has become...tricky, their love for each other did not. Tip toeing around each other ever since, longing sometimes for the time they had, they remain each other's anchor in the storm. However with Pittfest, Robby's mental health deteriorated to the point that they separated, still maried as they cannot let go of each other that easily. Destiny really seem to test them and the changes they have to go through.

A place where one feels safe, a place from which one's strength of character is drawn; a place where one feels at home.

They have always kept their relationship private, no one knows besides Dana, Weylen and Elias. Others have clocked things but never confirmed.
They tend to check in with each other by usually a pinky touch to the others hand, or a hand to the back. That has not really stopped after their relationship ended.
Robby has learned how to deal with Jack's PTSD and has, much like Weylen, a full kit of Jack's emergency medication at the ready.
Jack never really oversteps Robby authority in the ED, but completes it, their eye conversation is on another level for thinks to say or not say or where Robby wants Jack to operate.
Nour has a 15 minutes welcome time with Robby, because she likes that beard. Old bud and Robby have a porch understanding and just exist in each other's presence when the weather allows it.
Jack calls Robby "fibs" or "gunner"
Their routine living together was Robby doing breakfast, Jack dinner. One leaving the other food.
allegedly Jack has put mothballs into the gas tank of Robby's bike
