Summary

He can't do this. He really can't.
There was one week left of Dennis's rotation at the ER, and he was crying in the shower.
He tried everything. Talking himself out of this stupid workplace crush on his student, talking Dennis out of reciprocating it. And it all went to shit. They talked, and talked, and talked, he saw Dennis with a hickey and wanted to drown, then Dennis walked him home, kissed him, went upstairs. And now what? Now Robby was in love. Thanks. Great thanks to all that.
He needs a way out. Soon. He'll suffocate and drag Dennis down with him.
---Three months into dating Dennis, Robby starts to feel his avoidant panic mode kick in. Especially since Whitaker is almost done with his rotation at the ER. And especially since Robby realised he fell in love when he least expected it.
This is the sequel to my fic 'chameleon robinavitch', but now it's from Robby's perspective! Can be read independently.

"I won't rat you out to HR."
He joked, his eyes bright, but Robby pressed his lips together, looking at him.
"Maybe you should. I'm your attending. And I'm…way too old for you."
Dennis clicked his tongue.
"I fucked guys older than you."
Robby blinked, a soft exhale escaping him.
"What?"
"I said…" Dennis spoke slowly, clearly, even if his heart was beating out of his chest. "I fucked guys who were older than you."

or: Dennis can't figure Robby out, and it's becoming a problem since Robby started acting...odd around him.I live for Robby being down bad and Whitaker acting like it's his first day alive when someone flirts with him, so here it is!

Summary
Mel King just wants to be friends with all of her co-workers; she doesn't understand why Whitaker is trying so hard to close himself off, but she is determined to find out.
or:
Santos finally convinces Whitaker to go out clubbing with her and the girls, and he and Mel both find out why this is a terrible idea.
"She figured it best that she wait silently for him to open up.
She didn't think it would be in a dingy club bathroom.
She didn’t think it would take him until the last two weeks of his rotation in the ER to say something either.
Most people get sick of hiding secrets or deflecting when asked incessantly by a certain someone (Santos), but Whitaker held out until he physically couldn't anymore."

Summary
Fucking Whitaker. He has this thing about downplaying everything, and Trinity can’t stand it. First it was him being literally homeless described as “being in-between places,” then his semi-abusive dad “who did his best,” and now this "ex-boyfriend who wasn't nice to me".
It’s like he doesn’t want anyone to think he’s capable of being hurt.

Years later, Dennis thinks he’s in the clear, but it all comes to a head when his stalker ex makes a sudden appearance. It'll take the entire Pitt department to help keep him safe.Series

Summary
“Is this going to be public record?” Dennis asks. If it is, anyone could access it. Then he’d be in trouble. He feels goosebumps raise on his arms. Because he really, really doesn’t want to talk about how he grew up under oath during this deposition.
Maybe he can lie.
What’s so bad about prison, anyway?

Summary
"Did you, like, make your own shoes?" Victoria inquires.
“Uh, no. We bought them like normal people,” Dennis says, taking a sip of his drink. “But mostly we went barefoot, especially in the summer, unless we were working. But my mom wore crocs.”
"Crocs?"
“Yeah. Dunno why, though. I think she liked putting them in sports mode.”
