Summary
TITLED CHANGED FROM "I'm Fine (He Wasn't) TO THE CURRENT TITLE
Robby didn’t take the bait, “I want you to stop pretending you’re fine when you clearly aren’t.”
That landed harder than Dennis expected. He didn’t respond right away, mostly because he didn’t have a good comeback for that one. And because the way Robby said it, low and direct and looking right at him, did something irritating to Dennis’s pulse.
Dennis huffed softly but didn’t fight him, mostly because the dizziness still hadn’t completely settled, a clear indication of head trauma, and the idea of moving too quickly sounded like a terrible plan. He tried to sit still while Robby worked, though the close proximity made him uncomfortably aware of just how serious Robby suddenly looked. Did he always look this way during cases? Robby was close enough that Dennis could feel the faint warmth of him, could smell the mix of leather. And for one brief absurd second Dennis wondered if he was imagining how close Robby actually was.
Or
Dennis Whitaker gets hit by a car while riding a bike. He tries to tough out his injuries after the crash, only to find himself back at the Pitt injured, stubborn, and with Robby watching far too closely.

Summary
Inspired by the song Staying Still by Noah Kahan.
----
“It’s temporary. It was always temporary.”
Dennis’s fingers tightened around the saline bag. So tightly it almost burst.
Temporary. It was always temporary.

Dennis knew the sabbatical Robby had planned was coming up shortly. They both knew this. Both tried not to think about it, or what it meant for the future. Their future. So instead they avoided the topic like the plague. And because of that neither realized that the other person had a completely different understanding of what the sabbatical meant. Robby didn't expect Dennis to wait. Robby thought this was the end. Dennis thought this was only the beginning.
