For @flambaeby - Hookup AU
'Pent up' was not even the word for how Robert was feeling. His last relationship had ended very poorly over a year ago now (mostly his fault), and since then he hadn't had any real company except his hand. He'd only remembered he'd installed that hookup app because it prompted him to update it. He'd removed it from any kind of home screen before he got together with Jackie in the first place, but now it seemed like it might be just the thing. Nobody was on these apps looking for Mister Right, only Mister Right Now. Maybe, if someone was lucky, a future Mister Right Now. Reliable fuckbuddies were a thing Robert had heard of.
(He would like a Relationship, he just no longer felt it was fair to lie to himself or anyone else about his ability to maintain one, not while he was living his father's legacy. It was so very apparent why Robert's mother walked out when he was young enough to have hazy memories of her at best.)
Updating the app, Robert laid on his back on the sparse mattress in his room to make sure the information was still accurate enough he didn't feel like he was lying. Picture was a little old, but not too old.
Standing up from the mattress, he fed Beef then started browsing who was available in the area... especially if they didn't mind not coming back to his place.
