    Summary

    Dennis Whitaker can work the ER on caffeine, adrenaline, and pure spite. He can charm patients, antagonise coworkers, argue with anyone in authority, and keep moving long past the point any sane person would collapse.

    Dr. Michael Robinavitch sees straight through him. Chief attending, unflappable to nonsense, and far too perceptive for Dennis’s comfort, Robby becomes the one person who refuses to be distracted by Whitaker’s reckless competence and practiced chaos. What begins as curiosity sharpens into something far more dangerous: trust.

    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

    He curls in on himself, tucking his legs under the bench, but his knees knock against the table, too long, too big, and it sends his eyes burning. It makes everything within him burn. “It’s not exactly possible, but I’ve always wanted…to feel small, sometimes.”

    “Just sometimes?” II says.

    His face burns. “It doesn’t matter. Most people laugh like it’s some sort of inside joke, but I get why. Those are soft things and I'm the furthest thing from that. I don't get to be.”

    “But you wanna be?”

    He swallows, looking away. “Doesn’t matter. No one’s wanted to.”

    “What if I did?”

    He blinks once, then twice. “Huh?"

    Or, the one in which Vessel keeps getting confused for an alpha, II keeps getting confused for an omega, and somehow, that is the starting place of everything.

    Summary

    Suo Hayato has a talent for provocation. Togame Jo has a talent for never losing his cool. And they’re dating the same guy. Suffice to say, things have gotten a little competitive. Immovable object meet unstoppable force.

    Sakura has less patience than either of them.

    “Shut up! If you’re going to hang around my apartment and bicker, while I’m trying to study, why don’t the two of you just have sex with each other?”

    (i.e. What’s the protocol for developing a crush on your rival in love, anyway?)
