Summary
Whenever Robby enters the trauma room Dennis is in, he straightens his shoulders and lets his eyes drop to the nylon tiles. He only ever looks up when he is sure the older man is busy inspecting something else, like doctors are supposed to, like their job is to save lives and not stare down their colleagues. Sometimes, Robby catches him in the act, and it sends something straight from his gut to somewhere lower. Usually, they hold that eye contact for a few seconds, not moving or saying anything. He feels like he is on trial, seen and evaluated by something greater than himself. There is no air inflating or deflating his lungs when this happens. It feels like pain, feels like salvation. The momentary bliss of being the sole focus of his God after yearning for it all day. As if his prayers have been heard.
Then Robby blinks and looks away, so Dennis can breathe again.
Dennis stops Robby from going on his sabbatical. Things get complicated.

Summary
The defining truth of his life is, people leave.
He was a naive boy who wanted to believe in something larger than him, so every fucked up thing that happened to him meant something. So that every person who left, walked away, had some higher purpose elsewhere.
He knows now, the reality. That he's just easy to walk away from. That people don't stay for him.
Until Whitaker.

Summary
“Did your old man do that?” The question startled Dennis, cutting through the loud chatter of the crowded bar.
It took a moment for him to realize who was speaking, blinking through his swollen black eye as he tried to make out the man who stood next to him. He looked as old as all the rest of them with a cigarette dangling from his lips.
“He’s not my dad.” Dennis sniped, staring sullenly at the table in front of him.
“Your boyfriend?” The man's kind brown eyes never left him as he took a sip of beer, watching him carefully from over top of the glass.
Runaway Dennis falls into a bad situation and Robby moves heaven and earth to save him.
