    Summary

    The first couple of dollars that the machine ate up without remorse were an annoyance, something that made Dennis sigh and unzip his wallet without thinking about it to try again. By the time that the vending machine had eaten seven whole dollars, in coins, and Dennis didn’t have anything to show for it, he was close to thumping his forehead against the cool glass and hoping he could derive some sort of enjoyment or nourishment from simply just looking at the colourful packages as they remained firmly in their coils.

    ~

    5 times + 1 that Robby buys something for Dennis and makes him feel like he's about to keel over, right there and then.

    Summary

    Michael had his fair share of moments where he purposefully made Dennis jealous, what if the roles we're reversed?
    Michael doesn’t like it, doesn’t like the way it feels, but he can’t stop himself from feeling it. Dennis looks at him, his blue eyes almost cold and calculating, hands shoved in the pockets of his jeans as he leans back on the wall, teasing smile on that pretty mouth of his, and Michael feels the blinding heat of his anger build and build.
    He steps closer to Dennis, leaning down just enough to get his face on the same height as Dennis’, “I’m gonna kill him and then you,” he mutters “just you wait, Whitaker.”
    Dennis snorts again, “oh, you look so serious, baby.”

    Summary

    (Formerly titled, "In Vein")

    The linoleum of the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center didn't smell like the dirt back home. The smell of the Nebraskan plains at midnight is rich, it’s dirt, rusted iron, dry hay, and the metallic tang of something cold dying in the root cellar. Dennis Whitaker grew up with that smell, a native of a rural town where the horizon was a jagged line of silos and the isolation was relentless enough to swallow anyone.

    By the time he arrived at the Pitt as a fourth-year medical student, Dennis Whitaker had perfected the act of being almost normal. He knew how to stand just inside a doorway and wait half a second too long, long enough for someone to say, “Yeah, come in,” without realizing he needed them to. He knew how to laugh at the right times, how to reduce being from Nebraska to something simple and harmless—farm boy, cornfields, small towns, nothing worth examining too closely. Boring. 

    He met Dr. Robinivatch on the first day of his first rotation. Not in a moment that felt significant, not at first.

    Summary

    “Trin, what is Dr. Robby’s full name?” he knows he sounds crazy. And panicked. And like he’s choking on his tears (which he almost is). But he needs to know.

    “Huh? Why do you need to know?”

    “Please, it’s important”, he’s slowly losing his breath, his lungs stuttering inside his chest.

    “His last name is Robinavitch, as for his first name, I have no idea. What do you need it for?”

    “Michael. His name is Michael”, then he hangs up, not waiting for Trinity’s response. He leans his head on his knees, trying to catch a breath, but to no avail.

    Michael Robinavitch and Jack Abbot

    Mickey and Jackie

    They’ve been here all along without his knowing.

     

    or Dennis Whitaker finds a way to stop being a vampire and live again. He starts his newly acquired life in Pittsburgh as a med student. What he doesn't expect is that in the hospital, his two ER attendings are his ex-lovers whom he left many years ago.

    Summary

    “And what about you? Are you in safe hands?”

    Robby runs a hand through his beard. He thinks about Whitaker clinging on behind him on the bike. He’d hold on so tight that it was like he was trying to pull Robby into his chest rather than himself into Robby’s back.

    “I don’t know about that either.”

    Sick with their own separate miseries, Robby and Whitaker take a trip out to Nebraska together on Robby's motorcycle. They don't expect to find what they need in each other. And yet...
