Typically takes 2-5 days for me to respond. If I am uncomfy with it, I won't answer but shoot your shot babes 🪽💙

Dennis at Work vs Dennis at home are two very different people. There's a different level of trust for each one.

It was a natural progression. One of those things where Dennis wasn't entirely sure how they got to the point that they were at, but now they just were. He doesn't remember necessarily agreeing, but he does remember feeling better after every new rule and requirement was set into place. No guessing if he was doing something he shouldn't, no issues on if he was fucking up or not; his rules appeared and they told him where he fell.

"What's got you so upset today?" Jack asked him after the third mumbling huff he'd received from Dennis. "Did something happen?"

"I'm tired," Dennis whined. "Trinity kept me up late with a Scream movie marathon and then I couldn't sleep."

"When did you go to bed?"

"Um." Dennis's face scrunched up. "I think around 3? 4?"

Robby shook his head. "Yeah, no wonder our boy's so cranky."

That night he gets tucked into bed, in a shirt that isn't his, kisses on his forehead, whines and protests ignored, and promises of being in soon, "Just close your eyes, baby, you'll feel better in the morning, yeah?"

And even though it's a sharp 10pm, Dennis is out within minutes. He barely notices when Jack and Robby do file into bed, waking only to seek out on of their arms to hold him, and falling back into a deep slumber.

He's cheerful, chipper, better the next day. He sees the look Jack and Robby exchange in regards to his mood but chooses to ignore it. Just like how he chooses to ignore when he gets tucked into bed early again the next night, and the next, and every night after.

Then came the whole stove incident. Not that there really was an incident as much as an accident. Dennis didn't mean to get so close to the still hot stovetop but something fell over and it was second nature to try and grab it and now he's sporting an angry red mark across his hand, biting his lip and trying not to get too upset about it.

But it hurts and he can feel that slight bubble of embarrassment and fear rushing up in his chest.

Not that it matters because Jack grabbed his hand and ushered him to the sink, running cold water over it while Robby fixed whatever mess is behind them. He let out one wary sigh and Jack was murmuring, "You're okay. I know it hurts, kiddo, but it's okay. We've got some burn pads and cream, we'll get it nice and patched up, don't worry. Dad's got you."

He's not allowed to use the stove after that. Robby nudges him out of the way and Jack makes him stand all the way back behind the island in the kitchen, pouting on a barstool until his food is ready. Knives came after that because "You're just a little clumsy, baby. Little boys don't need to use sharp things like that. Let daddy handle it."

As if Dennis wasn't holding sharp objects in the ED on the regular.

Things keep growing. Building. Dennis accidentally stays up too late on his phone, watching videos Trinity was sending him, and now he's getting his phone taken away every night an hour before bed. He tripped over his own laces at work and now Robby is the one who ties them every single morning. Jack catches him jumping one too many times at a scary movie and suddenly they're only watching PG-13 at best. Someone evil and rude and insane showed Robby and Jack Life360 and Dennis gets his ass turned cherry red for driving too fast, gets corner time for not leaving the bar like he said he was, and getting texts of "Charge your phone, Den" when he's sitting at 43%.

And Jack and Robby are so.... daddy with it.

"I understand that, but you're not going. If you want to argue, I'll be home in about 20 minutes and we can have this conversation with the hairbrush. Why don't you go find a corner and wait for me there?" and he's busting his ass to find a spot because Jack sounds way too calm for the threat of the hairbrush.

"We can discuss this as many times as you want sweetheart. You're not changing my mind." and Robby's nodding with every point Dennis makes about how unfair something is, how he really wants to go get drunk without one of them nearby, but Robby's not budging. It's not safe, it's not happening, end of story.

"Oh, I'm sorry, do you want to try that again, little boy?" whenever Dennis gets a little too mouthy and Jack grabs his jaw, arching a brow, tone dangerously low. Dennis squeaks out an apology and gets a kiss on his forehead and a warning swat when he moves away.

Robby's heavy sigh when Dennis does break a rule, when he doesn't eat all 3 meals like he's supposed to, taking an already sniffling Dennis over his knee and pulling down his pants and underwear to his ankles. "I'm just disappointed, baby. You know exactly how your daddy and I feel about that."

Sometimes it bewilders him. He doesn't remember when half of these rules got set into place. He barely remembers if he argued on them or not. He does remember the punishments he gets if he breaks them, and that's enough to obey them.

Dennis doesn't care because all he can focus on is not having to worry about so much. Robby picks his clothes out so Dennis doesn't have to think twice about it. Jack makes sure his student loan payments are complete on time every month, no questions asked and nothing said about it either. They keep his favorite snacks and safe foods on hand always, and the food at his apartment with Trinity never runs out. Jack replaces his shoes when the tread is starting to give out. Robby sees one tear in his scrubs and he has a box from Figs sitting on the kitchen table with his name on it the next day.

So yeah, maybe he's not the same competent, well trained, trusted physician at home like he is at work. Maybe he goes from being given complex procedures to not being allowed to cut up his own dinner. But it's all done from a place of safety, a place of love, a choice that they make daily to prove Dennis is worth taking care of. because they want to do it.

It makes the screen limit with a passcode he doesn't know popping up on his TikTok mindless scroll session a little more bearable. Ish. But what's truly unbearable is Jack using the paddle when he stays up too late on nights he's sleeping in the apartment and Robby making him go to sleep without a twenty minute cuddle session in his old man rocking chair. So he'll put up his phone and roll over to go to sleep on time tonight.

Like....okay. Danforth Family being The Vampire family. Brides/mates are offered up in exchange for protection. Changing the rules a little so that it's like the person at the Head Seat of the Council is the one getting offered the bride who is a human and gets turned at the wedding.

Titus is taking his fathers place and they need someone to be offered up only. Titus keeps rejecting people. He's very picky. He can't fully take the seat without a bride but that doesn't mean he's going to pick any random offering.

Dennis being a human but very removed from his family and didn't even realize that they were connected to such powerful families. Mom took him and raised him away from the vampires line of thinking, he's human, and he's also the only bride possibility who could be offered up from the Whitaker family. Everyone else is already mated.

something something Titus seeing a picture of Dennis and instantly agreeing. Dennis getting invited to a family event only to find out it's a wedding when he arrives. He gets oddly close to this Titus Danforth character, they're really getting along, and he keeps "just missing" the groom and bride who he really wants to meet because he feels so bad for crashing their weekend. But that's okay because Titus shows him around and sits next to him at meals and asks him so many questions about being a doctor and his life growing up and never lets Dennis be alone for a second because "I just want to make sure you feel comfortable."

jump to the rehearsal dinner where surprise! Dennis you're the bride and Titus is the groom and also everyone is a vampire. Tradition calls for Dennis to be turned at the altar (and I'll see you at the altar) and Dennis is just crying, begging, pleading with Titus because "I don't want this, I never wanted this, I just wanted a family!"

i'm thinking pure crack levels of miscommunication here- maybe with jack and robby having an apartment close to the hospital for the strings of back to back shifts that leave you dog tired, as well as a super nice house further out in the suburbs, so out of sheer luck jack and robby never manage to take dennis home to the same place when it's just two of them, so he assumes they're living separately but spend a lot of time at each other's places. and sure, they both are openly okay with this arrangement between the three of them, and the sex is mind blowing in pairs and all together, but dennis never sees jack and robby be intimate with each other, only him.

he does not pick up on the crazy sex they have with each other constantly because dennis, lovingly, is an idiot, and when he's around his daddies are more focused on spoiling him than each other.

it's driving dennis crazy because he can see how much jack and robby care about each other but he's convinced they're not together and that it's his job to rectify this. his attempts to set up dates or get them to talk about their feelings for each other mostly go over jack and robby's heads, because why would it occur to them that dennis is trying to set them up with their husband? they start getting more worried that dennis is insecure of where he fits and minimizing himself in their relationship and sit him down to talk it out.

cue the funniest intervention ever to clear this up, and the most fluffy sex ever to follow. add in a healthy dash of overstimulation as they make dennis cum so many times he's in tears because our baby boy has been trying so hard to take care of his daddies that he really needs a reminder who's supposed to be taking care of him- there's gotta be a little punishment in there for how much dennis worked himself up over all of this without just saying anything to either of them. plus a healthy sprinkling of condescension about how silly their baby boy was for not noticing that his daddies were married and really, it's not den's place to be thinking about such adult things if he clearly can't see what's right in front of him? they might as well give him so many orgasms that he feels as stupid and cockdrunk as he was acting with his hijinks. very "look at our puppy trying to make us proud, doesn't the silly baby know he doesn't need to try anything for that?" energy.
