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
The conference itself would’ve been bad enough on its own. Three days in Virginia Beach with physicians from across the East Coast attending lectures and networking events and social hours that nobody actually wanted to participate in. But no, PTMC had also agreed to some commemorative panel recognizing the one-year anniversary of Pittfest.
Meaning Robby somehow ended up scheduled the next day to accept a departmental honor recognizing “exceptional leadership and emergency response coordination during mass casualty management.” There would apparently also be a plaque. A shiny new plaque to hang in the ED. Because nothing helped process collective trauma like polished wood and engraved brass.
Or, Robby is selected to sit on a conference panel commemorating Pittfest and accept an award on behalf of PTMC. (Inspired by the photo of Noah Wyle looking *lovingly* at a picture of Gerran/Dennis)

Summary
A violent daytime storm knocks out the power. Robby and Whitaker find themselves trapped in darkness and stifling heat for hours, layers come off, walls come down, and one impulsive, desperate kiss changes everything
How do you pretend something never happened when you can still taste it? As the storm rages and the ER demands their focus, Robby and Whitaker are forced to confront the terrifying truth: the kiss didn’t just break the rules, it broke something open inside both of them.
(recommended: Read Confined Spaces on my profile for better context!)
---
Full-season expansion of 'Confined Spaces'.
Confined Spaces: "When the elevator stalls mid-shift, trapping Robby and Whitaker between floors, it should just be a small, quick, glitch. Instead, a power outage, a head injury, and too much heat in too small a space, force everything they've been pretending not to feel into the open, leading to a breathtaking first kiss”
This story expands that moment into one complete shift. It will explore; what was happening in the Pitt before the power outage, a deeper view into the intense hours they were stuck and will follow the complicated aftermath across the rest of the shift.

Summary
"I've got a tired puppy on my hands, huh?" Dennis says, and his voice is soft, softer than he intended, soft in a way that feels like it might break if he pushes too hard.
Robby huffs again, but it's not a sigh this time. It's almost a laugh. "Call me a puppy again and I'll make you run a full code on a dummy in front of the entire department."
"You'd have to get up first."
A pause. "Fuck you."
or robby slumps after a shift from hell, and he doesn't seem to want to say much. dennis, for his part, figures it out on his own
