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
Jack Abbot is beyond exhausted when he finds a med student crying in the hallway. So far past dealing with the crying that he tries to convince the med student to a marriage of convenience just to stop the tears. The longer he thinks on it though, the more he realizes that marrying the little mouse, Dennis Whitaker, might actually make sense.
Robby is convinced Jack is having a mid life crisis. Or a nervous breakdown. Or petty revenge for his disappointment in Robby sleeping with Collins. Regardless, he doesn’t know how to help the med student Jack is marrying.
Dennis can’t keep doing this. He’s homeless, broke, and about to have to drop out of med school when he’s so close to finishing. If an ER attending is going to offer a guest room to crash in and covering the expenses of med school, he might just go ahead and marry him. He can always figure things out later, right?

“I was trying to make breakfast.”
Jack takes one step into the kitchen, hands on his hip as he continues to blink in disbelief. “Why?”
“I wanted to do something nice.” Dennis replies, meagre. “Start the day well. For you and Robby.”
“Well, that went well.” Jack scoffs, not even looking at Dennis.
Dennis curls into himself even more. “I’m sorry.”
“Whatever, just leave it to us next time kid.”-
Or sleep deprived Jack tells Dennis off, Robby doesn't help, but they get their shit together eventually

Summary
Dennis Whitaker was raised to believe that suffering meant devotion. Taught that his body was a sin before he was taught how to survive it. Years later, homeless and desperately clawing his way through med school, he is still learning the difference between devotion and punishment. Jack and Robby enter his life without scripture and demands. Everything is wrong.
or Dennis has a major fear of alphas taking advantage of his situation due to his family teachings which leads to him being unable to see Jack and Robbys good intentions. Lots of patience and lots of love at the end.
