Prompt: Johnny and Robby talk online (not realizing they're conversing with one another).
Johnny accidentally ends up learning more about his son through this misunderstanding (growing closer to him in the process) by coming to understand his anger and realizing they have a lot more common than he thought. The anonymity of being online lets them unknowingly confess to things and aid each other in overcoming their obstacles.
They text for a couple of weeks until they decide to meet, and immediately their newfound trust is put to the test.
Robby is mad.
Johnny is ashamed (of his treatment of his son in the past), but they decide to continue their "date" anyway.
Set after the end of season 3. --------------
I know it's not like the original prompt (only has elements of it), but when I explained my idea you liked it, so I went with it. I think it was an interesting way to have them deal with their issues.
