    Summary

    When Dennis agrees to be the temporary on-site doctor for a Pittsburgh Penguins hockey game as a favor to a classmate from medical school, he’s not expecting much. He’s not the first-choice to be team doctor, and he’s definitely not a hockey guy. His plan is simple: hide out on the sidelines until he can go home and crawl into bed. Funny how plans change.

     

    Or: Ilya takes a slapshot to the face and gets treated by a doctor who looks like a wet kitten.

    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

    “—and I know that there’s Becca and Tanner and Millie to consider, but I was wondering if you maybe wanted to move in? Together? With me?”

    Mel blinks. He certainly doesn’t look like he’s having a stroke.

    “Frank, why would we move in together?”

    “I thought it might be nice,” he shrugs here, acting nonchalant even though Mel can see the tension in his jaw. “To take that next step in our relationship.”

    “Frank, what are you talking about? We’re not in a relationship?”

    At this, Frank’s frown deepens before widening into a frustrated half smile. “Uh, yes we are? We’ve been dating for nine months?”

    What.

     

    Or, Frank thinks Mel doesn’t do physical touch.
    Or, Mel doesn’t realize they’ve been dating for nine months.
