Work Text:
The curtain is drawn back abruptly, causing you to jump and gasp. Then you groan seeing your boyfriend, “Who told you?”
Your boyfriend and the attending doctor in the ER, Robby, steps closer to you, “Dana did, which I’m glad. Were you gonna tell me?” he crosses his arms over his chest and looked down at you in disappointment.
You shrunk further into the hospital bed, “I was…after I got treatment.”
He sighs and sits on the hospital bed, eyes filled with worry, “What happened?”
You sigh, “I was washing dishes and Dingus was standing right behind me. I didn’t know it and I almost stepped on him. I lost my footing and hit my head on the counter going down.”
Robby shakes his head and grumbles, “Stupid cat.”
“It’s not his fault. You know how clumsy I can be sometimes.”
Robby hums and scratches his head, “Maybe I need to put a helmet on you and wrap you in bubble wrap.”
You snort, “You can try.”
He stands, “Lemme take a look.” You lean forward and he examines the cut on the side of your head. He feels around the wound to make sure there’s no internal bleeding.
“Well it’s deep but not too deep. Just will need a few stitches.”
“Sounds good, doc.”
Robby is the one to clean and stitch you up, all the while you tell him how your day has been since he’s been at work.
The procedure isn’t long, but soon enough you’re out of the bed and getting discharged.
“She lives!” Dana exclaims as you step out from behind the curtain. She gives you a hug, “You, little missy, need to be more careful.”
You scoff, “Trust me, I try.”
Robby steps in, “We might just have to baby proof the place.”
You roll your eyes at him, “So dramatic. I’ll be fine,” you peck him on the lips, “I’ll see you later.”
“I’ll walk you to your car.”
He takes two steps before a voice yells out, “DOCTOR ROBBY, WE NEED YOU!”
You chuckle, “Duty calls. Love you and good luck!” You give him a salute and he waves you, “Love you. Please be safe.”
“I’ll try!” You reply as you exit the ER.
