The Night Shift: There’s nothing more perfect than a match made in heaven - unless it’s a match made from mutual attraction and pining. Paramedic Obi has been under ER doctor Shirayuki’s spell for as long as he can remember - and now he’s going to do something about it. Written by @nalufever & @hidetheremote
Shirayuki bit her thumbnail to the quick, teeth gnawing the soft flesh. Ugh, what an ugly habit. She would never admit nervousness, especially in her line of work; but ever since the promotion to lead ER doctor, she’d been unable to restrain the urge. Sigh. Another manicure ruined.
The major source of her anxiety was Izana. Damn him! He ran Wistal Hospital like a kingdom and he was the absolute monarch - high, mighty and ruthless. It was his idea–separating her from Dr. Zen, keeping them apart like night and day. Her only saving grace was working with her friends, nurse Yuzuri and…
The back doors opened, a patient rushed in by the paramedics.
“We got a gooey one coming in! Hope you like your burrito with red sauce!” Obi sure loved making an entrance.
Shirayuki ran to the hallway, her green eyes sharp enough to catch Obi’s small smile.
“Status, Obi?” Shirayuki grabbed the patient’s bloody hand, checking for a pulse.
“Car accident. Totaled. What a shame. It was a sweet ride…”
“Obi! Status of the patient!”
“Sorry! Patient had a high blood alcohol level. Broken collarbone. Possible concussion.”
Nurses surrounded the patient, hooking up intravenous lines and attaching sensors - working in unison to transfer the young male to a proper gurney. Shirayuki aided each step of the process, directing the junior nurses with a soft but firm voice. “Run a blood type and we need x-rays taken. There could be more broken than a collarbone.”
Obi checked his watch and stepped into the background even further as his crush showed the hospital why she was on the fast-track to becoming one of the best ER doctors in the county, let alone Wistal Hospital. Shirayuki had no idea how adorable she looked, taking charge and being masterful with her obvious skills. It wouldn’t do to be seen oohing and awwing over Shirayuki, so Obi decided to slink away before he betrayed his interest.
