    Summary

    Dennis takes a deep breath in to calm himself, but as he breathes out, he confesses, “Trinity made a bet with Samira that I could get anyone in the bar to buy me a drink because I kind of have a knack for it, but Samira chose you, and now they’re watching us, and I’m so sorry.”

    His boss blinks at him a couple of times, probably figuring out the least problematic way to fire him or berate him for being so damn unprofessional. He should’ve just said no to Trinity and Samira and killed the vibes for the night; he’d prefer that to whatever Robby is about to say. He can already see the anger bubbling up inside him that’s going to—

    “I’ll buy you a drink.”

    Dennis stares at him, unblinking. After a few seconds, he manages to ask, “What?”

    “I’ll buy you a drink,” Robby repeats, then leans over to pat the bar stool next to him. “But you’re going to have to earn it.”

    -:-:-:-:-:-

    Or, Dennis tries every trick in the book to get Dr. Robby to buy him a drink and to stay.

    Summary

    “I put in 1095, but it won’t turn off!” Dennis shrieks, trying to be heard over the sound of the alarm. He knows that he didn’t get the numbers wrong because he’s staring right at them on the crumpled sticky note. “What am I doing wrong?”

    “Did you push the off button?”

    Dennis looks at the keypad, not seeing anything that says Off. “What?!”

    “Put the code in and push the pound sign after.”

    Dennis does as he’s told, except, in his panic, he hits the asterisk instead. “Shit.”

    “It’s the hashtag,” Robby says, sounding entirely put out.

    “I know what a pound sign is,” Dennis grumbles, hitting the button and noticing the word Off in the smallest font known to man under the #.

    -:-:-:-:-:-

    Or, 5 times Dennis sets off Robby's alarm, + 1 time Robby does it himself.
