Chapter Text
Dennis was embarrassed.
Why?
Well, because he woke up early for work to straighten his hair everyday.
He has messy blond curls.
He had been growing his hair out for the past year and it always looked messy.
The only alternative was to style it and it added 15 minutes to his getting ready time.
So when he woke up with 20 minutes before his shift started and trinity was yelling at him that he had 5 minutes to get ready he cursed himself for snoozing his alarm.
He quickly got changed and ready to leave before catching his reflection in the mirror, he had bed head, and bad.
He quickly turned on the heated tool and was running over the worst parts. He liked to keep the pattern but fix any kinks or stray pieces what wouldn’t lie properly.
Trinity shouted again that they had to leave now. He turned off the straightening tool while finishing the back of his head and accidentally hit off his neck with the burning hot tool. “Shit” he hisses
He’s never burned himself before.
He didn’t have time to assess it before leaving the apartment and hoped it didn’t scar.
….
He was 30 minutes into his shift and starting to get into a groove. Nothing crazy happened last night and it was a chill morning. He was sitting at his computer station charting when he heard someone behind him clear their throat.
“Dr. Robby” he nods
“Whitaker” dr. Robby nods back
“Can I talk to you for a moment, in the staff lounge”
“Sure thing” Dennis stands and threads behind Robby
When they enter the lounge Robby closes the door behind them and pulls down the small curtain on the window.
“Is everything ok, dr Robby?” Dennis exclaims
“Not really, there’s been a few rumours around the ER today about you and I have no choice but to address it”
Ok, Dennis was officially confused
Dr Robby takes a step forward which causes Dennis to hit off the counter.
Robby gets closer and assesses Dennis’ neck
“You know we don’t care what our students get up to off the clock,!but it is not appropriate to be coming to work with visible hickeys and causing gossip.”
Dennis’ eyes widen, what is he talking about.
He takes out his phone and opens the camera app pointing it towards his neck, and lo and behold, there is a bright red mark that looks suspiciously like a hickey.
“Oh no, sir there’s been a misunderstanding, it’s a burn” he rushes out
Dr Robby retreats “what?”
“From a straightening tool, it happened while I was doing my hair this morning. Oh my god I can’t believe people are thinking I have a hickey”
Dr Robby stands there frozen before he chuckles and rubs his hands over his face.
“God, thank fuck”
“Huh!” Dennis remains confused until Robby is close to him again.
“I was so fucking jealous thinking someone was marking you” he growls
Dennis’ jaw drops
Robby lifts his chin assessing the burn again, he heads to the staff medicine cabinet and grabs a tube of ointment.
He returns and tilts Dennis’ head to the side and applies the cream. The burn hadn’t been sore but the relief of the cream felt nice and he let out a whimper.
Dr Robby froze again and before he knew it Dennis was against the counter again only this time Robby was kissing him hungrily.
What the hell!!
Robby pulled away and leans his forehead against Dennis’
“When that burn heals the only one marking you will be me, understood?”
“Uh…ye, yes sir…Dr Robby.”
“Now back to work, oh and, your hair looks great.” He winks before opening the door and entering back into the bustling ER leaving Dennis shocked and horny.
