Summary
"I can take you home, kid, it’s not a big deal—“
“Fuck, just leave it will you?” He snaps, and Robby blinks. Drops his bag to the ground. Whitaker swallows and mumbles out a wet sounding 'please' before Robby is pulling the free chair close enough that when he sits in it, they’re almost touching.
“Jesus, what the fuck is going on Whitaker? You in some kind of trouble?”
---
Throughout an ordinary shift, Robby see's something off about Whitaker. He hides it well, but his mentor spends more time watching him than either of them realise. Things come to a head when Whitaker finds he can't really move, and Robby won't settle until he's helped.

Summary
“Boggy head wound, dizziness, vomiting, a killer headache, and retrograde amnesia. Oh, and a tongue lac. Haven’t had chance to look at that yet though.” As had apparently become his habit, Abbot patted his shoulder and gave him a gentle comforting shake. Dennis could practically hear him saying, ‘You can fit so many symptoms in this bad boy!’. “Last thing Whit remembers is going home yesterday,” he added.
“What happened?” Al-Hashimi said, serious and concerned.
“Man v puddle,” Shen quipped. “The puddle won."

Summary
“M’not a fucking kid!” Dennis spits. “Stop fucking calling me that.”
On the offensive, and unable to stop, Robby bites back: “Then stop fucking acting like one!”
Dennis slumps back into his chair, seceding silently, eyes glossing. Robby pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration.
“Jesus, I— Forget it. I can’t talk to you when you’re like this,” Robby tells him, pulling his jacket from the back of his chair. “Go home, delete our chat history. This never happened. Don’t ever tell a soul about this.”
Dennis laughs mirthlessly.
Robby is not amused. He zips up his jacket and leans down a little closer to the boy.
“I’m not fucking around, Whitaker. This stays between us. You need to take this to your grave.”
or:
After a particularly prolonged dry spell, Dennis Whitaker decides to redownload Grindr. He doesn't realize the charming, anonymous, older man he's matched with is his Senior Attending until after they've already gone through a week of digital foreplay. Everything's a lot easier when you can't put a face to a name — or a name to a profile — isn't it?

Summary
“So. You like baseball?”
Even now, the fact that those were the next words out of Robby’s mouth is almost unbelievable to him. Until this summer, Dennis doesn’t think he’d been asked that question his entire life and now, it’s come up twice—first, on the day Robby left, and now again on the day of Robby’s return. It struck him as some strange kismet, sort of like an incomplete thought finally circling back around. The answer, without question, was and is an easy no. Even if you didn’t factor a rural Nebraskan upbringing into the equation, for most of his life, he wasn’t exactly encouraged in that direction. Dennis, however, had a sense that he understood where Doctor Robby was going, and wanted very much for him to continue. Robby, therefore, did not receive the spiel about the Omaha Storm Chasers that Roberto with the dislocated elbow received on the Fourth of July. Instead, Dennis smiled and shrugged. “Sure, who doesn’t.”
“America’s pastime,” said Robby, pleased.

“No. He’s…private.”

“Nebraska.” Robby sparked the flame and watched it dance.

The ensuing phone call changes everything.

Summary
A minor bicycle accident on Whitaker’s way to work leads Robby to discover that he was homeless during his first rotation at PTMC. Robby’s reaction to this information also prompts him to realize that his feelings toward Whitaker might run deeper than an attending’s concern for his star R1.
Luckily, Dana and Abbot are there to talk him through it—or just to hold a mirror up to the truths he refuses to acknowledge. Either way, Robby is so fucked.

Summary
"Would you ever do something like that?"
Dennis looks up from his phone, "Huh?"
Robby realizes that he sort of just pulled that question out of thin air. That the last time they discussed it was hours and hours ago. But he's bored. And he's drunk. And he's curious. "The fuckin' no nut thing."
It's hard to tell in the dim park lights, but he thinks Whitaker is turning a very pretty shade of pink.
"Oh! Uh… is that really an appropriate thing to discuss with my boss?"
Dennis and Robby make a bet.

Summary
Alright, Robby’s in a strip club, or pole dance club, or whatever the hell this place is, a place in which he didn’t want to be at in the first place, if he is honest, and one of his residents works here as a dancer, wearing women’s lingerie and having enough power to make the waiter sit him down on of the best tables and bring him a bourbon.
That’s a normal sentence, those are normal words that make total sense.
Another song starts, one single white light reaches the curtain at the back of the stage as it opens slowly to reveal Whitaker’s figure, who in the beam of light looks just as his stage name suggests, and he’s standing there posing with both hands behind his head and one leg stretched to the side and Robby feels a pressure in his chest so damn heavy he might be having a heart attack.

Or; AU where Dennis moonlights as a pole dancer to make some extra cash and Robby happens to stumble into the club he dances at, inspired by that slutty outfit Gerran Howell wore at the BAFTA TV Tea Party.Bookmarked by starryechos

Summary
One minute he was still riding that high from the morning, and the next his feet felt like they weighed fifty pounds each, the pep in his step completely gone...
...It felt pathetic, just how badly he sought the attending’s praise. He’d spent an embarrassingly long amount of his time in the ED trying to prove himself worthy of Robby’s mentorship, desperate to show that his faith in him wasn’t misplaced. He couldn’t let the chief see him slacking.Or, Dennis and McKay treat a street patient, and the shift goes drastically downhill from there.
