Summary
There is something wrong with Dennis Whitaker.
It was subtle to start with. Small things that Robby started noticing the first week of his rotation.
But today, it wasn’t small. It wasn’t nothing. This was different. Dennis came in looking seriously unwell. Sweat was already travelling down his pale forehead. His walk unsteady and his words slurring.
….OR: Dennis Whitaker collapses during his shift, and Robby and Jack are the ones to find him. Once they learn more about the med student, They soon realise Dennis needs more help that they thought. They can’t keep Dennis off their minds. So they decide to do something about it.

Summary
“What’s with the kid?” Jack demands, leaning his back against the station as he folds his arms, his brows furrowed in confusion.
”He’s missin’ Robby.” Dana huffs, “fuckin’ obsessed, that kid is.”
Jack feels that fury spike hot in his chest, his mind filling with that all too familiar anger again.
Ten years of loving Robby in silence. Ten years of watching him fall apart and stitching him back up together again. Ten years of wanting and never saying anything.
And now he’s gone, and Whitaker thinks he can mope about it?

OR: Dennis can’t cope when Robby goes on sabbatical, leaving him all alone with Jack. They start to clash. The clash turns into… something more as the man they both love, has left them.

Summary
Slowly over the coming weeks, Dennis healed. It wasn’t linear, he had setbacks several times. His body was still weak, not fully his own yet, but he was close. Jack and Robby couldn’t have been more proud.
It had become normal, for Dennis to sleep in their bed, curled up between the two married attendings, their arms curled around him, gentle pressure that kept him grounded. And wake up to them stroking soft hands up and down his arms, mumbling sweet words of praise in his ear.
They hadn’t spoken about the shift in their dynamic, each of them too scared to put a name to whatever this had become. but they all leaned futher and futher into it.
OR: Jack and robby look after Dennis after his hospitalisation and become… something a little bit more than his bosses.

Summary
Dennis was on the floor, curled in on himself, blood dripping down his skinny wrists, darkening his sleeves fast. The mismatched marble tiles that lined their floor already pooling with crimson red.
”Oh God… Dennis”
Jack dropped to his knees beside the boy, his lip trembling as he panicked.
“Robby grab me a fucking towel or something- Fuck!” His hands shook as he clawed at Dennis trying to stop the bleeding.

Summary
On days like this, Dennis would confide in God. He would spend hours at the foot of his bed, his knees pressed harshly the wooden flooring.
Begging for forgiveness from a God who never answered him.
Praying to be made clean and holy, until his knees went numb and finally gave out, leaving him heaving on the floor.

”Morning, sweetheart.”

Summary
Dennis shook his head against Robby's chest, his tears still streaming, staining Robby’s scrubs as he did so.
“No - no, please, i can go home - let me go home-.”

”Dennis, sweetheart..” he murmured, “You don't have a home to go to.”
”I do...” He voice came out small and weak, as if he was pleading the lie to turn to truth, “I promise, I-“

Summary
There, just try a little,” Robby said gently, “You don't have to finish it.”
Dread swallowed Dennis up. He stared at it, and shook his head.
“I’m not hungry.” his voice small, thin and scraping.
Jack frowned, “Denny.. we know you haven’t eaten all day.”
“Thankyou, but I’m fine.” Dennis swallowed. “I don't want it.” His voice grew harder.
Robby tried again, even gentler, “You don't have to eat much. Just a sip.”
Dennis pulled the blanket tighter, bringing his shaky legs into his chest, slightly pulling forwards as he began to rock.
“No. I cant, please don't make me.” His voice whined in desperation and his eyes filled.

“Hey. Look at me.” Jack put a hand on Robby’s chin, pulling it up to look him in the eyes.
“She’s all i have left.” Robbby whispered. “She’s my little girl. She’s my whole world. I cant- I cant loose her, Jack. I cant do it again. I cant bury… I cant bury another person I love.”

Summary
Dennis pulled away violently, Stumbling backwards. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t need help. I shouldn’t need help, i shouldn’t have - I shouldn’t have liked-”
He cut himself off, horrified at the slip. But neither man flinched. Neither man seemed to care.
Robby stepped closer, his breath gentle against Dennis’ neck as he placed a hand either side of him, warm and steady around his waist.
“Dennis-“ He said softly, smiling, “Liking that we caught you, liking that we’re here for you, isn’t a sin.”
Dennis shook his head violently, before a warning look was shot his way by Jack. His voice softened in a way that he only used when people were broken.
”Denny, it's not wrong to feel safe.”
Dennis’ breathing paused again. Safe. He didn’t know what to do with that word. He didn’t know how to hold it. He didn’t know how to believe it.

Summary
Robby felt something tug in his chest. Something was screaming inside him that this poor kid had been hurt, so many times. Constantly belittled, beaten and hurt to the point where he no longer felt safe in his own body.
“Dennis, did they hurt you?” Robby asked tentatively, careful with his words.
Dennis froze, his heart rate rising, he could feel it in his throat. His looked up into the caring eyes of his attending, his lip trembling. Slowly, he nodded.
That made Robby’s heart shatter. To think that this poor boy had been hurt by those who were meant to protect him. Hurt by those who were meant to teach him about God’s love and his forgiveness. Instead they had instilled self-hatred in him. Instilled fear and pain.

Summary
Thats when he noticed. The cut hospital band, laid on the dresser. A stack of medical papers, half-hidden under a grey hoodie. A plastic bag filled with a phone, keys, and clothes. A framed photo of Jack and his wife, that always stood in the middle of the dresser, turned face down.

“Jack…” His voice broke. A tear travelling slowly down his wrinkled face. “Where is she?”
Jacks breathing hitched. The first sign of life.Robby leaned in, gentle and steady. Softly, he reached out to touch Jack’s arm. “Is she… is she out at treatment?” He asked, although he already knew the answer.

Summary
“Well, Dr Robinavitch..” She said, wrinkling her face, her expression confusing, it almost looked like disgust.
“Children do pick up on the emotional climate of a home, and clearly…” she said, gesturing between the men, “Different family structures can be… confusing for a child. Maybe that’s the problem here.”
Robby froze.
So did Jack.
”Different family structures.” He repeated, slowly. His voice thunderous, but low.
Her eyes met his, and she gave another tight smile. “Yes. Two fathers can be a lot for a child. It can create… Heightened emotions.”
They both stared at her. Not shouting. Not shaking. But cold.
”My daughters emotions,” Robby said, “are not caused by having two dads. They are caused by being overwhelmed, unsupported and ridiculed.” He said, hand rubbing the back of his neck.
The teacher flushed, “Well, I didn't mean-“
”You did.” Jack said quietly. “You absolutely fucking did.”Or: Jack and Robby advocate for Robby’s daughter

Summary
His breathing was erratic now, as he bumped into a monitor next to a patients bed. His skin was fuzzy, all across his face. His vision started to cloud as he stumbled into an empty room. Ripping the curtain across the bay.
His nails digging futher and further into his skin. His pockets starting to drip with blood and he relished in the pain.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” he mumbled, hands shaking as he collapsed. sliding down the wall of the bay. His silent tears turning into sobs as he curled in on himself.
”I-i-im sorry…” He whispered out to the empty Room. “I shouldn’t have liked it. I shouldn’t have liked it. I shouldn't have wanted him to say that again. That’s dangerous, its temptation. That’s how people fall. Please My Lord, I’m begging you. Take it away. Please God, Take this feeling away. Take me away” His Sobs drowning out his feeble voice.

He got jack low and to the ground and pulled him in close. He’d learnt that the first time that he’d found jack like this.

Over and over again, as his husband sobbed into his jacket, the tears seeping though to Robby’s own scrubs, soaking his skin. He didn’t care, he never would.

Summary
“…So you gotta tell me baby girl,” Jack asked, “What’s going on?”
Her mouth opened, as if she was going to say something, before faltering and she closed it again.
“Go on sweetheart, you can tell me. Whatever it is.” He said, kindly, supporting her words.
”W-w-will you still like me if i have a bad day?” She mumbled, tears beginning to form in her dark brown eyes, threatening escape.
