Fics like My Brother’s Keeper

It’s been seven years. Seven years since the last time he’d spoken to his parents. The number had been echoing in his mind all morning, ticking on like a stopwatch timer he never asked for. He still texted his brothers every now and then. Small talk, obligatory check-ins, but none of it touched the dented, rusted spaces where real family had once fit. They would be better labeled as acquaintances than family members. Essentially just strangers with shared childhood memories. Dennis told himself he was fine with that. That he didn’t need anything from them anymore, but the anniversary had a way of peeling open old wounds he usually kept duct-taped shut. -- -- -- -- Or, Dennis was only born to donate parts of himself to his older brother with cancer. How will Dennis react when a similar situation walks into the Pitt? How will Robby react when he finds Dennis having his own breakdown in Peds?
