Summary
A comfortable silence fell between them, each preparing for the long day ahead. Neither notice the small glances stolen by the other. And as they enter the building and go on their separate rounds, they mourn the presence of the other beside them.

Summary
When Dr. Robby asks Dennis to housesit for him while he is away on sabbatical, Dennis isn't sure how to react. Slowly, as days pass and routines settle, the lines between helping out his attending (and crush) and making the house he's watching a home seem to blur. And when said attending comes home suddenly a week early without notice, how will the pair react?
A work in progress!

Summary
“Whitaker, you need to sit down. You have a concussion.” The voice next to him tries to tell him, and it's almost familiar this time.
“Yeah I realized that, I am a fuckin' doctor. Student doctor. Whatever.” he replies, turning to squint at the man sitting next to him. “Look, can you just get Dr. Robby? He’ll tell you I'm fine, I gotta get back to work, I got… patients and shit.”
The man looks at someone behind him, some expression he can’t quite figure out. He starts to say something else, and—oh shit he’s gonna throw up fuck—he tries to lean away and not vomit all over anyone else. He doesn't quite make it.
“Shit,” yeah, he definitely ruined that guy’s shoes. Whoops. “Sorry.”

Summary
“Looks like I bit you.” Will tilts his head to get a better look. All Mike can do is stare at him. His fluffy hair at the front, clumped pieces at the back where he’d slid his fingers in a mere few minutes before. His pretty green eyes that look hazel or even brown in this light, the dark circles he gets when he drinks framing them like intricate paintings. A satisfied, bloody smile.
Mike isn’t satisfied. He swallows thickly, choking down the words 'don’t you want more?'
Or: Will dresses as a vampire for a college halloween party, but Mike thinks his costume isn’t bloody enough. Will lets him fix it. Mike goes into a crisis.

Summary
Admittedly, Robby was more than just a bit prickly. But with Dennis, it wasn’t difficult to see beneath the hardened exterior that Robby had constructed after years of running the ED; skin like a scaled callus and an attitude to match. With Dennis, Robby saved a shred of that underlying kindness in the form of small smiles, a steadying hand, and a supportive word. All things Dennis wasn’t necessarily used to. It was… nice. Robby was nice.
Most of the time.
Halfway into his three-month rotation in the Pitt, Dennis takes advantage of a lull in the ED's near-constant madness to teach his chief attending, Dr. Robby, how to play a fishing minigame.

Summary
There’s something wrong with Will.
It started three weeks ago, almost four. Will had woken from some sort of nightmare and, instead of seeking comfort in Mike the way he usually would, he’d rolled out a sleeping bag from the closet and chosen to sleep on the floor.
No one believes Mike, except for Joyce. But even she doesn’t understand the full extent to which something is wrong with Will.
Mike understands, though. Mike has been paying attention.
