Summary
Dennis blinks at him, fingers moving weakly.
“You're hurt,” Dennis says, voice shaky and every breath wheezy and painful.
“Just stay with me,” Robby grunts and moves his arm to Dennis' side in an attempt to stop the bleeding.
He ignores the pain, ripping through his own body. Ignores the anguished gurgle from Dennis lips.
‘‘Keep your eyes open. Stay awake for me!" He pleads.
It's starts as an ordinary shift but ends in absolute horror.Robby and Dennis are attacked and end up badly injured. Robby is more concerned about his intern than himself and everyone else are left picking up the pieces.

Summary
“Come here, kid.” One of Robby’s hands catches Dennis’s and lands against his sternum, trapping his arm against his chest, while the other stays in his hair, fingers winding into damp curls. Dennis’s attention is everywhere and panicked. He catches a flash of Perlah readying the needle and a desperate sound punches out of him.
“Nope, don’t look at that,” Robby says, using the hand in his hair to force his head back, angling his vision away from the commotion and up towards him. Dennis’s eyes lock onto his, pupils blown wide. “Look at me. Yep, good. I’m right here. You’re doing so good, honey. Just keep those eyes on me.”
The IV tourniquet snaps into place and panic flashes anew in Dennis’s face. ”Robby—”
“I know. It’s just Dana and Perlah. We’re just pushing some fluids, no more drugs. You’re safe.” Out of the corner of his eye, Robby can see Perlah speeding through what has to be the fastest IV placement of her career, Dana keeping her grip on Dennis’s hand to stop him from jerking away. Dana shoots him a glance of warning and Robby tightens his hold. “Okay, quick poke now. Still just us. Deep breath, Dennis. I've got you."

Summary
Poor kid, he had time to think before his eyes traveled from the body covered by the heating blanket to the young man's face.
His heart dropped in his chest and his whole body turned cold with fear.
“Oh god…Whitaker?” he said as his eyes landed on the very familiar face.
The young man was deathly pale, skin waxy and lips blue, but there was no doubt in his mind that this was their former med student that he hadn't seen in months lying lifeless on the gurney, body covered in blankets, c-collar around his neck and breathing tube in his mouth and secured to his face.

Dennis doesn't get matched with PTMC or the emergency department. Almost a year later he is brought into the ER in critical condition. By then no one has heard from him in months.

Summary
Dennis Whitaker is near his breaking point. It's nothing new; he had been on the edge for years now. All throughout medical school, undergrad, and as far back as he could remember. He has never had anyone to lean on, to rely on when his house of cards comes tumbling down. There's only so long someone can go before something breaks.
Robby and Jack have become enraptured with the new resident. Dennis first caught their attention on his very first day in his ER rotation. He pulled Robby up off the floor and gave Jack the chance to cushion the eventual crash. And said nothing. No judgment, only acceptance and the desire to help. Dennis was able to save Robby and Jack by extension; now it was their turn to save him, even if it was from himself.

Summary
Dennis ignores his boyfriend, Robby, telling him to get medical care. Turns out he's developed a severe chronic condition and is putting himself in danger. Treatment is not fun, and he hates it. Cue medical trauma and hurt/comfort.
