    Summary

    “This is the bodyguard?” Wilbur says, very slowly, eyeing the kid.

    The kid crosses his arms, eyebrows knitting, nose wrinkling. He’s four inches shorter than Wilbur at least, and looks like he’s missed a couple more meals than he can afford to miss. His pants are shredded at the knees, patched with surprisingly neat stitches.

    “You can’t be more than, like, thirteen,” Wilbur says.

    The kid bristles.

    ⸻⸻⸻

    After the latest attempt on Crown Prince Wilbur’s life, Phil insists that Wilbur get a new bodyguard. (The last one, Techno, was promptly adopted as the new prince.) Enter Tommy—standoffish, halfway feral, and, to put it simply, oddly wolflike.

    In short, he’s the perfect candidate for Wilbur to immediately adopt as a brother.

    Summary

    “Whoa! What the hell happened to you?”
    His hand freezes mid-motion and he feels his chest tighten. “It’s not a big deal. Just… an accident.”
    Trinity quirks an eyebrow. “What kind of accident?”

    ___________
    Dennis's situation is a little worse then people think. He spends his nights rotating between shelters and the streets, never having discovered the empty floor. When a stupid accident at the shelter causes him to get hurt, he finds he has a lot of lying to do to his traumatized colleagues the day after the MCI.

    Summary

    “Come on, kid,” someone says, rubbing his sternum with bruising fingers. Dennis desperately tries to swat the hands away, the bone already sensitive from the weight of the patient from just moments ago. “Open your eyes, Whitaker, come on. Look at me. Open your eyes.”

    He twitches, his limbs flexing in odd and tight angles as he tries to expel the memory of the pain. He tries to speak, not to answer the question but to ask for help, help, anyone, anyone at all, his mom or one his brothers or the youth pastor who gives him bandages when no one is looking, just, God, please, please—

    The best Dennis can manage is a deep gurgle from his throat.

    *

    When he gets seriously injured after an altercation with a patient, Dennis is forced to reveal parts of himself he would rather keep hidden.
