    Summary

    “He looked at the careful way Whitaker had made the hospital bed, the folded protein bar wrapper that had fallen to the ground, the bag that probably contained the kid’s entire life, and something in him just… decided.

    Maybe it was the exhaustion. Maybe the weight of too many losses in one day. Maybe the memory of Whitaker’s hands steadying him as he got back on his feet in Pedes.

    “I have a spare room,” Robby said, before he could start talking himself out of it.”

     ---

    In the aftermath of Pittfest, Robby discovers Whitaker living on an abandoned hospital floor and offers him a place to stay.

    Summary

    Of all the plans Robby made for his three-month sabbatical, he never expected to end up on his own doorstep, trying to break into his own house.

    Summary

    “Come here, kid.” One of Robby’s hands catches Dennis’s and lands against his sternum, trapping his arm against his chest, while the other stays in his hair, fingers winding into damp curls. Dennis’s attention is everywhere and panicked. He catches a flash of Perlah readying the needle and a desperate sound punches out of him.

    “Nope, don’t look at that,” Robby says, using the hand in his hair to force his head back, angling his vision away from the commotion and up towards him. Dennis’s eyes lock onto his, pupils blown wide. “Look at me. Yep, good. I’m right here. You’re doing so good, honey. Just keep those eyes on me.”

    The IV tourniquet snaps into place and panic flashes anew in Dennis’s face. ”Robby—”

    “I know. It’s just Dana and Perlah. We’re just pushing some fluids, no more drugs. You’re safe.” Out of the corner of his eye, Robby can see Perlah speeding through what has to be the fastest IV placement of her career, Dana keeping her grip on Dennis’s hand to stop him from jerking away. Dana shoots him a glance of warning and Robby tightens his hold. “Okay, quick poke now. Still just us. Deep breath, Dennis. I've got you."

    ***

    Dennis gets drugged by a patient and has a bad trip.

    Summary

    The elevator lurches once, then stalls. The emergency light flickers weakly, casting Robby and Whitaker in a dim, red glow before plunging them into near-total darkness. The only sound is their breathing—Whitaker’s still too fast, Robby’s measured, deliberate.
    "You knew this might happen?" Whitaker asks.
    "Yeah," Robby says. "Big storms like this fuck with the hospital's generators. We were lucky we got this far."
    "Lucky," Whitaker echoes, the word coming out too soft.

    Robby and Whitaker get stuck in an elevator during a storm, and three weeks of tension catches up to them.

    Summary

    Dennis Whitaker has never needed fate to tell him who he’s meant to be.
    Doctor. Full stop.

    He just really didn’t expect that on his very last rotation of medical school, his new attending would casually speak the words inked around his bicep.
    ---
    Robby has spent years believing soulmates and fate are for two kinds of people: fools and the forgiven. It’s easier than admitting what it would mean if the words on his ribs weren’t a mistake.

    It’s simple, really:
    Whitaker’s his mentee. His legacy, maybe.
    Not his soulmate.

    And if Robby has to burn down every possibility to keep it that way, he will.
