    Summary

    Several months into playing house, Amy finally makes clear what she wants from Dennis. His reaction to her desire—or lack thereof—sends him spiraling about his failure to be the man she needs. Naturally, Dennis does what anyone would do in that situation: holes up in his boss’ bachelor pad, calls said boss on sabbatical, and speed-runs a sexuality crisis over the phone.

    Oh, and he also has life-changing phone sex with his boss while he’s outside a roadside bar in Fargo, North Dakota. It’s an eventful evening, to say the least.

    Or: A thesis on Dennis Whitaker, masculinity, and compulsory heterosexuality.

    Summary

    “You are an interesting young man, Dennis,” Robby says, smiling like he himself isn’t quite sure yet if he means it as a compliment or as an insult.
    “You can just say weird.”
    “That too.”

    or: Dennis and Robby meet at a bar before Dennis’s first day at PTMC. They talk, they flirt, and Dennis eventually finds himself in Robby’s bed.
    They are in for quite the surprise the next day.

    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.

    Summary

    “M’not a fucking kid!” Dennis spits.“Stop fucking calling me that.”

    On the offensive, and unable to stop, Robby bites back: “Then stop fucking acting like one!”

    Dennis slumps back into his chair, seceding silently, eyes glossing. Robby pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration.

    “Jesus, I— Forget it. I can’t talk to you when you’re like this.” Robby tells him, pulling his jacket from the back of his chair. “Go home, delete our chat history. This never happened. Don’t ever tell a soul about this.”

    Dennis laughs mirthlessly.

    Robby is not amused. He zips up his jacket and leans down a little closer to the boy.

    “I’m not fucking around, Whitaker. This stays between us. You need to take this to your grave.” 

    or:

    After a particularly prolonged dry spell, Dennis Whitaker decides to redownload Grindr. He doesn't realize the charming, anonymous, older man he's matched with is his Senior Attending until after they've already gone through a week of digital foreplay. Everything's a lot easier when you can't put a face to a name — or a name to a profile — isn't it?

    Of all the plans Robby made for his three-month sabbatical, he never expected to end up on his own doorstep, trying to break into his own house.
