    Summary

    Dennis Whitaker had twenty minutes left on his shift. It was fine, one last patient, then he could go home with his partners and have a nice evening.

    It was only twenty minutes, right? He wouldn't get a head injury that could impact his capacity to remember his favourite people, right?

    Summary

    Dennis Whitaker, a scrappy looking med student from Broken Bow Nebraska, has an issue. And that issue starts and ends with Dr Micheal Robinavitch. His unfortunately good looking attending at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center. His second issue, takes the form of a 5’10 night shift attending he is sure is straight from a magazine he had to stash under his bed as a teenager.

    Navigating trauma is already hard enough without the gaze of both of his attendings burning a hole into the back of his head. But what he doesn’t know is that they both just want to help. And they will go to any lengths to make sure Dennis is safe. Even if those lengths are a bit… unbecoming of two men in their fifties.

    Summary

    “I haven’t really been to a wedding where I’ve, uh… let loose. But, hey,” Dennis shrugged, “maybe I’m doing it wrong.”

    “If I hadn’t already agreed to go to this conference, I’d offer to go with you,” Robby said casually. “Show you how it’s done. I’ve got a good track record as a plus-one, too.” Dennis had to say something. To interrupt. To shut this down. But what was he supposed to say? No, you can’t be my plus one, because I lied about my cousin, and there is no wedding, and it seems a little weird to bring a date to a fucking funeral– “Apparently parents love it when you bring home a doctor.”

    And just like that, the bubble popped.

    “I’m not gay,” Dennis snapped.

    He had never hated the sound of his own voice as much as he did right then.

    ---
    Or, Dennis is anxiously headed home for a "wedding" in Broken Bow, Nebraska, the details of which are increasingly fuzzy. Robby's got a medical conference in Omaha that same weekend. So they carpool. Seventeen hours both ways in an enclosed space with no way out except a tuck and roll. This'll go great.
