    Summary

    “Would you eat with me?”
    Whitaker's head shot up, vexation pulling him down into a darker pool of anger, the pressure and the fatigue finally too much. “I just told you, I cannot afford it,” It was a bark, so he adds, as if its gonna change how much he had fucked up in the span of five minutes, “Sir.”
    “I-- I get that. I’m asking you to eat with me. Not to buy me lunch.”
    “No. I don’t want to-- I’m not a charity case.”
    Robby breathed sharply through his nose, then he laughed. “Ah, kid. I ate Adamson’ whole house when I was doing my rotations. I don’t think I was a charity case… Do you?”
    Robby eyes were soft, earnest, his hand- like it always seems to do- found the crook of Dennis neck, thumb now not pressing but brushing over his boney shoulder.
    “Are you lying to make me feel good?”
    This brought an honest to god laugh out of the man, “Not at all. I was flat out broke.
    He nodded then. Because the fogginess of his head was simply not gonna let him work. So he says, “Yeah. Okay.” He moves away from Robby’s hand like one act of kindness needed to cancel the other out. “I would like that.”

    or the one where Robby feeds Whitaker.

    Summary

    "You do belong there."

    "In the ER?"

    "In my life." The words come easier now, once they've started. "You belong in my life, Dennis. That's what this was. All of this. I didn't know how to tell you, so I built you a farm instead."

    "It's not my farm."

    "It could be." Robby reaches out, slow enough that Dennis could pull away. He doesn't. Robby's hand lands on his, warm and calloused and real. "It could be ours. If you want it. If you want—"

    Summary

    Dennis has good days. Dennis has awful days. He thinks he manages fine.

    But when the trauma resurfaces and the scars ache and burn, he feels himself swallowed whole, suffocating, writhing, begging for the end to the unsightly stain that is his existence.

    He doesn't realize just how many people care for him -- the way a family is supposed to.

    The way his family never did.
