He couldn’t even bear the thought of hurting Dennis. He wanted to protect him, to see him smile. God, how badly he wanted to love him. But Michael Robinavitch’s love had only ever brought pain.
He just wanted Dennis to be happy. He just didn’t know how, either…
#hucklerobby But Dennis doesn’t know that Robby doesn’t think he’s enough for him either.
Robby, who sincerely believed for many years that he could not be loved. He tried so hard and lose the battle with his own essence again and again.
#hucklerobby Dennis thinks he isn’t good enough for Robby. He’s too inexperienced, young. He could never be his equal. He doesn’t have enough experience or knowledge. He’s just a boy from Nebraska who’s still scared of loud noises and sudden movements.
And now Robby was looking into Dennis Whitaker’s bright blue eyes, wishing he could protect him from himself. More than anything in the world, he doesn’t want to condemn this beautiful boy to the pain he’s going to cause him.

As soon as Dennis had settled into life in Pittsburgh and was no longer influenced by his parents’ judgemental views, the very first thing he did was to rediscover his love of the colour pink.
Me: I know how to write happy endings
@am0so : honey, when they both die a horrible death, but together, that's not a happy ending
Me: BUT THEY DIE TOGETHER 🥲
Dennis wanted so badly to make him happy, he just didn’t know how.
Except Robby also thought he wasn’t good enough for Dennis. (But that’s another story.)

There’s still so much he doesn’t know.
He doesn’t know how relationships work. Dennis certainly didn’t want his relationship with Robby to turn out anything like his parents’. Robby wasn’t like his father. He knew how to be gentle and patient.

#hucklerobby Robby never wanted to have pets. He thought it was a huge responsibility. A pet needs care and a lot of attention
But when Dennis holds a tiny trembling ginger bundle against his chest and begs him to let them keep the kitten, Robbie eventually gives in.
