    Summary

    Dennis Whitaker is almost done with his residency at PTMC. He’s matched, he’s on nights with Dr. Abbot, and he’s finally—supposedly—over his crush on Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch.

    Then Robby and Abbot get punished, shifts are swapped, and suddenly Dennis is back to work under his former mentor.

    Old feelings don’t stay buried for long. Especially when it turns out Robby isn’t nearly as unaffected as Dennis thought...

    Summary

    Robby watches him for a second. Then, before his brain can catch up with his mouth—

    “I could kiss you.”

    Silence.

    Robby’s gone completely still and Whitaker just stares at him, eyes wide.

    Robby’s stomach drops. “I—” He huffs out a breath and drags a hand down his face. “I don’t know why I—”

    “You’d—” Whitaker cuts in. “You’d do that?”

    Summary

    Dennis's words climb back up. "You just… you assume things, you make decisions, you act like you know what's best for everyone—"

    Robby's gaze is fixed on him. Dennis's broad shoulders are coiled tight; there’s an angry, pink flush creeping up his neck; his long fingers keep clenching into fists and unclenching at his sides.

    "—and you don't even see how fucking condescending that is, how it makes me feel like I'm— like I'm not even a person to you, just some project—"

    Robby watches Dennis unwravel under the weak spill of the streetlight filtering in through the window, his curls flashing copper and gold, his voice hoarse and furious and he knows he should calm him down, shout back, beg for forgiveness.

    But he can't.

    He's never seen anything more beautiful.

    or: robby comes back from his sabbatical to find dennis whitaker absolutely furious with him. this is, unexpectedly, not the worst thing that's ever happened to him

    Summary

    "Eddie?" Shannon picks up on the fourth ring. "Everything okay?"

    "I kissed a man," he says.

    The silence on the other end stretches for nine thousand years. Eddie can hear Shannon breathing. He can hear his own heartbeat slamming against his ribs. He stares at the apartment building through his windshield, at the lit window on the fourth floor that might belong to E. Buckley, and waits for his ex-wife to say literally anything at all.

    "You what?"

    "I kissed a man, Shannon. Just now. I was delivering food and he opened the door and I just— I kissed him. On the mouth. And I don't know why."

    Another silence. Then a sound Eddie recognizes with dawning horror as Shannon trying very, very hard to suppress a laugh.

    "Shannon."

    "I'm processing."

    "You're laughing."

    "I'm processing." She fails spectacularly. "I'm sorry, I just— you kissed a man? Edmundo Diaz? The same Edmundo Diaz who wouldn't watch Brokeback Mountain with me because it made him 'uncomfortable'?"

    "It did make me uncomfortable!"

    "Yeah, Eddie, I'm starting to understand why."

    Or,
    Being kissed by your Uber Eats delivery driver? Worse things have happened.
