Summary
It's his very first shift and Dennis has already discovered an issue with his ED rotation.
Every time their attending, who he is expected to report every damn decision to, glances in Dennis’ direction, his breath catches and stomach flutters. And if that wasn’t enough, it gets drastically worse whenever the man speaks directly to him. The first time Robby asked Dennis a question, he’d blushed. Blushed.
Or, Dennis has a heart condition and maybe also a crush. Or two. He's used to dealing with everything alone, until his two married attendings prove he doesn't have to.

Summary
“‘If you’re raised with an angry man in your house, there will always be an angry man in your house. You will find him even when he is not there.’”
The well-known quote Dennis murmured was somehow louder than any scream the two had heard in their entire lifetime.
They were both still, their breathing heavy, when Dennis straightened his back, hands bracing the edge of the counter as he glanced at Jack and Robby’s direction.
“I am the angry man in our house,” Dennis confessed, his smile sad, and the look in his eyes had the two on the cusp of crumbling to their knees.
OR Dennis Whitaker has a difficult time taking care of himself, including learning healthy coping mechanisms, leading him down a spiral. Robby and Jack—already interested in the medical student—decided it’s time they take things into their own hands.

Summary
“Well, just let me know if it keeps happening, especially such severe bleeding. You can’t be too careful,” Robby states, matter-of-fact, in what Dennis has come to recognize as his doctor-voice.
Dennis nods in agreement.
He opens his mouth to speak but is interrupted, as he sees Robby move his foot across the two inches separating it from Dennis’s. They lock eyes as their feet line up against each other, in a small, subtle gesture that neither completely understands. Seconds seem to last for minutes, as the two drink in each other’s faces, holding each other’s eyes in an intimacy that Dennis usually avoids with his superior. Robby’s eyes are a warm hazel brown, framed by soft wrinkles, revealing his age. There’s something so comforting there.
Overcome with a sudden rush of self-awareness, Dennis shifts his gaze to the door and mutters: “Well, I should get back out there.”
