Summary
The sea breeze sweeps across the pier and tosses Eddie’s hair to the side. He’s wearing a white t-shirt with the sleeves rolled up, exposing the green-black of his tattoos winding down his wiry arms. The pair of blue jeans he’s wearing happen to be the only pants he owns that aren’t black—not to mention his only clean pants, thanks to the lack of laundromats on their route from Indiana to California. For someone who favors dark clothes, Steve muses, the light colors suit him: the freckles on his shoulders stand out against the stark white of his t-shirt and the deep brown of his eyes looks even darker by contrast.
“You know I’ve never been to the beach?”
Steve blinks. Eddie is looking down at him.
He nods. “Yeah, you told me it.”
Eddie turns back to the ocean, where the deep blue of the water meets the cornflower color of the sky with a thin layer of fluffy clouds in between. He closes his eyes and breathes in.
“I’ve never been west of the Mississippi.”
Or: Steve and Eddie go to the beach.

Summary
“I put in 1095, but it won’t turn off!” Dennis shrieks, trying to be heard over the sound of the alarm. He knows that he didn’t get the numbers wrong because he’s staring right at them on the crumpled sticky note. “What am I doing wrong?”
“Did you push the off button?”
Dennis looks at the keypad, not seeing anything that says Off. “What?!”
“Put the code in and push the pound sign after.”
Dennis does as he’s told, except, in his panic, he hits the asterisk instead. “Shit.”
“It’s the hashtag,” Robby says, sounding entirely put out.
“I know what a pound sign is,” Dennis grumbles, hitting the button and noticing the word Off in the smallest font known to man under the #.
-:-:-:-:-:-
Or, 5 times Dennis sets off Robby's alarm, + 1 time Robby does it himself.

Summary
Dennis hears the revving of a motorbike engine, disturbing his reverie and making him frown. It’s late — who in their right mind is out driving around on a motorbike? He waits for it to pass, so he can slip back into thinking about Robby and dinner and what they might do after dinner, when the engine cuts out. Dennis lifts his head, eyes opening, taking a second to adjust—
“Need a ride?” Robby asks him, holding out a spare helmet to Dennis. "Jack told me you only just left.”
He steps forward, taking the helmet from Robby. “So you’ve been spying on me?”
“The whole time I’ve been gone.” Robby nods, as Dennis swings himself onto the back of the bike. He winds his arms around Robby’s waist, tucks himself in against his back, and contents himself with the familiar warmth of his body as Robby starts the bike up again.
~*~
In October, Robby comes home. Dennis tries to decide what that means for them both.

Summary
“I don’t know what I want to do.” Dennis admits. He looks over at Robby, staring at the side of his face. They’ve been closer than this before, but being in the car together feels strangely intimate. “What would you do?”
“If it was me… I’d at least go for that dinner. But I’m not you. You need to do what’s best for you, Dennis.”
There it is again, his name from Robby’s mouth. It makes his attention linger, still staring at Robby’s face. Dennis is once again overwhelmed with the urge to just bury his face in Robby’s neck and pretend the world doesn’t exist, but that’s not the grown up thing to do. He squeezes his eyes shut for a second, rubs his temples with his fingertips as Robby continues, “Carry your patients with you as much or as little as you like. Find your balance. But remember that you’re human.”
Dennis opens his eyes to the countryside fading away and the city bleeding in. He knows Robby is right. That’s what he needs: balance.
In his last year of med school, Dennis learns to let go of the guilt that plagues him.
