    Summary

    The man squinted stubbornly. “Man, hell nah. Maybe it’s just for show. You know — ring to ward off the creeps."

    Daniel gave him a look. “ You do know you’re literally the creep it’s meant to ward off.”

    Another patient intervened, “Okay, okay. But weirdo with the scar has a point. Dr. Whitaker practically lives here. I always see him when I come back here. How’s a man like that got time for a spouse?"

    Daniel tilted his head. Come to think of it, he always sees Dr. Whitaker working himself down to the bone.

    And looking back at it, there was one person Whitaker seemed... different around. “Maybe,” Daniel said slowly, “he’s married to one of the doctors in here."

     
    TLDR: the patients at PTMC make a bet to figure out who Dr. Whitaker's mysterious husband is.

    “So. About that talk.”

    Dennis’ eyes widen. Fuck if that prey look doesn’t make something unhealthy stir in Michael's gut. “Uh, yeah?”

    “How’s tonight for you?”

    OR: The Talk happens. There's also food. And other kinds of eating.

    Summary

    There are cops in the ED when Dennis arrives for his shift.

    Not necessarily unusual, sure, but he could've done without the unwelcome news that there's a knife-wielding maniac on the loose in their immediate vicinity.

    Figures this would happen on a Monday.

    Summary

    One month into his ER rotation, fourth-year med student Dennis Whitaker is selected by his attending, Dr.Robby, to attend a medical conference in San Francisco. The same attending he'd been pinning over since his first shift. It doesn't hit him how unbearable such close proximity in a more relaxed environment could be till he's already there. To make matters worse, when it's decided that he and Robby will be rooming together, they unlock the hotel door to reveal a suite with a single large king-sized bed.

    Or

    There was only one bed.

    Summary

    There’s a hand, fingers cold, on his elbow – someone trying to get his attention. Usually, usually, his staff would know that just calling his name is enough, that he’s fine-tuned to the sound of it like a dog waiting for a command. But as he looks down and then to the person the chilled digits belong to, he finds Whitaker staring up at him owlishly. A shudder goes through him, senses zeroing in on the point of contact.

    “Can I help you?” It comes out bitchier than he intended, caught off-guard as he is. But he doesn’t take it back, not even when the kid bites at his lower lip as if he wants to apologize.

    “I just wanted to ask if you liked the chicken parm.”

    aka Robby doesn't know he's being wooed by home-cooked meals and big, honest eyes.
