Summary
"Well this has been fun," he stared at them properly this time.
Robby had to lock his body to stop from going to him. The younger man's eyes were glazed and puffy. Tear tracks on his cheeks glinted off the light and darkened his hoodie in little splotches below his chin.
"But let's be honest about what this is," they followed his venomous tone as he walked towards the hallway.
"I'm not built to…to be some…weekend kink fulfillment," he leaned against the wall and breathed through the effort of having to get his shoes on."
or Dennis gets a phone call that breaks him, so he blows up their relationship.

Summary
“Are you living here?”, Dennis hangs his head.
“I’m in between places, sir”
“How far in between?”
“About a year and a half”
“Where were you living before you did your first rotation here a month ago?”
“The shelter over on Fifth Ave, by UPMC,”

Summary
When Dennis agreed to cover shifts for Dr. Mohan on the night shift, he didn't think he would ever end up here. Kidnapped from the ambulance bay, his head pounding, and having to save the life of a man with limited medical supplies. That was supposed to be it. Somehow, he finds himself snatched up off a sidewalk, in the stables, in front of his home. There were no sacred spaces when you proved your worth.
In the middle of it all, Dennis is confused by the way Dr. Robby and Dr. Abbot are circling him. The way they'd reach out and brush their fingers against his skin. The way they made sure he ate, got rest, and stayed safe. It made him ache with something he hadn't felt in a long time.

Summary
Everything is fine. Everything is absolutely peachy fucking keen.
When the night shift calls Dennis in a few hours early, he goes without complaint. He knows how miserable a shift can get without enough hands on deck. But lack of sleep slowly starts to catch up with him.
Dennis Whitaker does not faint. That would be embarrassing. He’s on the floor for perfectly reasonable, perfectly respectable reasons. He does not need a banana bag. He does not need the day off.
He just needs a little bit of sleep.
—
Or: Dennis has a bad day at work. Robby has Jack pick him up to babysit him at his and Robby’s apartment until Robby gets off shift. When Dennis still can’t force himself to sleep, his Attendings take it upon themselves to tire him out.

Summary
“What do you want to do with him?” Jack Abbot’s voice filtered through to where Dennis was standing in the hallway. They’d planned this. Better to just get it over with. Dennis entered the room, their backs towards him. He got onto his knees by their feet.
“You can do what you like, I won’t argue.” His voice was quiet, scared. Both men snapped around at his words, eyes looking for him before finding him on the floor.
“Oh my god!” Jack gasped out, abject horror written across his face.Dennis Whitaker didn’t make the decision consciously. He’d been homeless for three weeks when it began. He’d been couch surfing, but after being turfed again he was stuck. Bouncing between shelters when he could, but often finding himself in doorways and underpasses. That’s how it began. In a red light district he never knew existed and $50 from a man with mean eyes. It spiralled from there.
Now living with Trinity Santos, Dennis had begun his residency, still he finds himself back there. A habit he can’t kick, the punishment he thinks he deserves. Dennis is trying to survive the war zone in his mind. What happens when his senior attendings realise the length he’s gone to in order to make it here?
