Work Text:
- You were on ‘loan’ from the nearby hospital
- Meaning you were the usual doctor’s friend
- she asked you to cover for her so she could go on vacation
- You grudgingly agreed
after she said she’d bring you lunch for a month- The first couple of days everything seems pretty normal
- You occasionally see Peter and patch up little cuts and bruises from his adventures around Queens
- You give Tony the couch in the office
- Locking him in there until he gets at least an hour of sleep
- It’s also a quiet place for Bruce to come when he needs to get away
- Sam occasionally comes by
Mostly to flirt- He needs some cuts patched up as well
- Then Steve comes in
- Captain America
- Specimen™
- He walked into the exam room
- Procedural checkup post-mission
- You fumble around
- Nearly dropping things
- “You’re never this nervous when I’m around”
- “Shut it Sam.”
- He just chuckles
- Steve just smiles shyly
- Somehow you make it through and clear him
- “Thank you, ma’am.”
- Your ears burn and you turn to the chart
- Hiding your embarrassment
- “He has that effect on people.”
- “I said to shut it Sam.”
- The end of your time quickly approaches
- You don’t want to go
- But your kids need you back at the hospital
- Happy helps you with your things and walks you out to the car
- You see Steve as you climb into the car
- You smile and nod at him
- He blushes and nods back
- Everything returns to normal
- You go back to the hospital
- You treat your kids
- Sharing time with your favorite patients
- One day the entire wing goes silent
- Whispers of who could be standing behind you start to form
- “Captain America”
- You turn
- He’s standing there
- Looking uncomfortable
- “Captain Rogers.”
- “Doctor.”
- Silence.
- Kids start to giggle at the obvious awkwardness
- “Is there something I can help you with?”
- “Uh-
- “No.
- “I was hoping to ask you out.”
- Silence again.
- “Pick me up on Friday? I’m off at 5.”
- “Yes, ma’am.”
