    Summary

    Dennis watches Andrew’s throat move, knuckles turning white as they curl around the edge of the table. “Why wasn’t I called?”

    For all Dennis isn’t scared of Andrew, he knows exactly what to say to make him feel as if he’s getting punished anyway. He looks away, stupidly enough.

    Andrew curls a hand around his chin, shaking it ever so lightly. “Eyes on me.”

    Dennis’ eyes find him immediately. “And risk you setting the building on fire?”

    The corner of Andrew’s lip twitches, but there is nothing humorous about it. “Not with you in it.”

    Summary

    His new Papa’s name is Andrew David Cody according to the crumpled adoption papers that have been abandoned on the floorboards; the papers that declare that his new name is Dennis Simon Cody. His new Papa hadn’t smiled at the name change, instead dropping one of those large, scarred hands over his curls and planting a small kiss on Denny’s head, keeping his back straight.

    Or: Denny had been five when he had landed in the arms of a foster dad out in Southern California. He had been six when someone had stolen him right out of Andrew’s arms and dropped him off in the middle of Broken Bone.
    Now, at eighteen, Denny can’t seem to get enough breath into his chest as he stares at the man next to Dr. Abbot.

    Summary

    “Sometimes it’s just—” Dennis starts, then shakes his head. He’s choking again, his voice shattering underneath every word as he manages to force out, “Sometimes it’s just— too much—”

    His breath halts him, strains him once more, and he’s trembling as he burrows into Robby’s chest again, Jack blanketing him from behind. The throbbing of Robby’s heart underneath his ear drowns out everything else, helping Dennis focus on this and only this— on them and only them.

    “I know,” Jack quiets him. “It’s okay.” When he presses a kiss to the nape of his neck, Dennis tightens his grip on him, too, knuckles whitening, pulling him in closer against him. “You’re okay.”

    or: dennis wakes up in the middle of the night, and his brain won't let him go back to sleep. robby and jack help.

    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-.”

    Robby tight end his hold, restraining Dennis’ harming hands as he brought them up to hit himself in the head again, anchoring Dennis.

    ”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-“

    Robby’s heart cracked as he soothed their boy.

    “It’s alright, motek. You don’t have to pretend.”
