Work Text:
After breaking it off with Garcia, and getting with Baran…. Trinity's shifts have been a little awkward. Baran really wasn't joking when she said that she wanted to show Trinity off, and that she isn't shy about it.
Trinity shifts starts as hectic as it always does, the only upside of her shift is that she shares it with Baran today. Plus, after their shift together, they're going out on a date. So the day cannot end any sooner, if you ask Trinity.
But the downside of today's shift is that she is probably going to have to deal with Garcia, who has been showing up more often then usual. It doesn't help that Baran becomes more clingy… or possessive.. when she's around.
Not like Trinity is complaining about that, it's hot when Baran becomes like that. But it isn't very appropriate for their work setting….
1.
The first time it happened is when Garcia came over to a patient to see if they can get admitted into trauma, and survive.
"Good job Santos… seems likes you've gotten better at not messing things up for me." Garcia smirks, "Or maybe its cause your trying to impres …"
Baran interrupts "Or maybe it's just that she's doing her job. Also don't speak to my residents like that, especially in front of me and everyone else." She then moves and places a hand on Trinity's lower back. "So, you can go on now. There's no need for you to still be here, when you could be doing your job right now.."
Garcia scoffs.
"Okay…and if you over her Santos, unblock my number and hit me up. Text me whenever you're over whatever the hell this is." Garcia then walks away, with her arms crossed.
"Wow… that was incredibly awkward. Don't ever do that in front of me again." Joy blandly states, while taking off her gloves and walking away.
Baran with her hand still on Trinity's lower back, sighs, "I didn't mean to be that aggressive towards her, it's just that she really shouldn't be treating you like that."
Baran sighs again and moves closer, grabbing Trinity's hand and moving it up towards her lips.
Baran mumbles, "Especially when she knows that you're with me now, not her." She softly kiss Trinity's hand and looks up at her pitifully. "Please forgive me?"
Trinity chuckles and moves her hand so she's holding Baran's face.
"Of course I'll forgive you, you didn't even do anything wrong." Trinity removes her hand away from Baran's face and puts both hands behind her back. "Now come on, we still have the rest of the shift to worry about. We still have that date to go on."
Baran laughs softly, "Yeah, you're right.." and follows Trinity back into the main area of the ER.
2.
Later on that same day, it wasn't Garcia this time who was flirting with Trinity. It was a patient. A young woman, who was very attractive.
"So, you here often doc?"
"Uh yeah, I would hope so, since I work here…" Trinity raises a brow and continues putting a bandage on the patient.
Baran walks in, removes her gloves and softly claps her hands. Successfully gaining both the patients and Trinity's attention.
"I believe that after these bandages, you will be ready to be released! Just remember not to lift anything heavy with your injured arm, other then that you are all set! Any questions before you leave?" Baran states.
"Yeah… I've got one." The patient turns to look at Trinity. Trinity slowly looks up in fear.
"Are you single? Cause I've been loving your vibe and I think we would get along great with each other.." The patient then tries to wink… but somehow fails, causing them to just blink.
"Oh! Um, I'm not-" Trinity starts to speak and glances at Baran. Baran swiftly interrupts and states "She's not single."
The patient just stares at Baran blankly "I wasn't asking you. I was asking the pretty lady over here." And then promptly turns back to Trinity, who at this point completely backed away from the patient.
She goes to walk towards Baran and tells to patient," No, I'm not single and I don't plan on being single anytime soon. But it does look like we are done here so… you're free to leave."
The patient chuckles "Come on, a pretty lady like you can do way better than her. I mean she's probably at least 7 years older than you… you deserve someone who can keep up with your 'youth'."
Trinity getting ticked off, causing her to raise her voice slightly louder "and who the fuc-"
Baran interrupts "Firstly, I don't like your tone. Second of all who are you to judge our relationship? Mind your business." She wraps her arm around Trinity's waist. " And, for a matter of fact, I can keep up with her 'youth'. With that being said I would like to remind you, kindly, to get the hell out of my ER. Since your treatment here is over." Baran, with her arm still around Trinity's waist, turns the both of them around and walks straight out the door.
"God, that was so hot. Please kiss me or something…" Trinity whispers underneath her breath and shyly glances at Baran.
Baran chuckles "Not right now sweetheart, maybe when we are in a secluded area. I don't want that patient staring at us…" Baran furrows her brows, "And I know I already said this earlier but, I truly am sorry for being so possessive today… I don't know what wrong with me today."
Trinity squeezes Baran's hand, " and just like I told you earlier, it's okay…. I really don't mind when you get like that.."
Baran just smiles at Trinity, mentally preparing herself for the next patient .
3.
'Just a couple more charts, and we can finally go out on our date, peacefully.' Trinity thinks and sighs, thinking happily about their up incoming date. Then immediately sitting up and saying, "Gotta lock in. The faster I finish this, the faster we can leave…."
Baran slowly creeps up behind Trinity, and leans in close to her ear "Need some help?"
Trinity yelps, frightened. Putting her hands behind her head.
"Oh what the fuck, you scared the shit out of me. BUT yes, please help meeee."
Baran laughs, moving Trinity's hands so she can rest her head on Trinity's shoulder, also hugging Trinity from behind. "Of course, I'll help. At least now I know I'm not the only one who is excited for our date today."
"Haha, just shut up and help me already. I have a tequila shot waiting for me at the bar, and maybe a stunning woman will be there awaiting me.." Trinity leans back into Baran, and laughs.
Baran nudges trinity "Pay attention to the screen. As you said before, the faster we finish, the faster we can go."
Hearing this, Trinity once again straightens up and actually locks in this time.
While she's busy typing and looking at the screen, Baran looks back and smirks at Garcia. She kisses Trinity's nape, while making eye contact with Garcia, as Trinity just giggles and nuzzles her.
Baran mouths "mine" to Garcia, and Garcia scoffs, rolls her eyes and storms off furious.
Baran smirks once again and turns back to the screen, actually helping Trinity chart this time. She smiles, as happy as a clam, knowing that Garcia knows that Trinity belongs with Baran.
+1
"Today was so long, and for what? I felt like we were never going to make it on our date… God." Trinity sighs and rests her head on Baran's shoulder.
Baran laughs "Yeah it felt pretty long, but at least we finally made it here. Look, let me go order our drinks. Just sit here and wait, sounds good?" Baran stands up, waiting for Trinity to answer.
"Yep, sounds good to me… but be back quick! Wouldn't want to miss you too hard!" Trinity giggles, watching Baran walk towards the bar. She watches as Baran orders for the both of them, and while she's watching, someone approaches her table.
"Hey, I just wanted to ask…. Is she single?"
Trinity looks back at the woman confused, "Is who single?"
"Your friend…, who went to go get your drinks. Is she single?"
Trinity scoffs, " She's not single, she's my girlfriend. The fuck?"
The woman furrows her brows and scoffs too, "Oh, sorry. I just didn't except someone like her to date someone like you."
"What did you just say to me? Someone like me? What… the fuck are you even saying."
The woman just looks at Trinity, eyebrow raised "I think you know what I'm talking about, I mean just look at you and then look at her. I just didn't except that be the case, but whatever. Give her my number, and tell her to text whenever she gets tired of you." She hands Trinity the paper, that has her number on it.
Trinity grabs it, and immediately rips it into pieces. The woman widens her eyes in shock, and Trinity says "Why are you so shocked? Do you think I was really about to give MY girlfriend, YOUR number? You must be out of your mind." Trinity glares "Mind you, you're not even all that in the first place. Now get the fuck away from my table before I-".
The woman interrupts her " You know what, whatever." She rolls her eyes "She isn't even worth all that in the first place. You and your girlfriend can kiss my ass. Goodbye"
The woman walks away, while Trinity is just staring blankly at her. She thinks 'So what even was the point of doing all that, like now she just ruined my night, and for what…' Right as she's thinking that, Baran come back to the table with their drinks, confused.
"Who was that? Did she want anything?" Baran questions.
"Oh her? She just got lost, and wanted some help. Don't worry it was nothing serious." Trinity lies.
"I mean, if you say so sweetheart. Now come on, and lets drink." Baran hands Trinity her drink, and kisses her cheek. "Get rid of all the negative energy from today, and enjoy our date!"
Trinity smiles and agrees, "You're right, I won't let anyone ruin this for us…" She grabs Baran's hands and tells her "After these drinks, let's go out and dance. I want to show you off tonight."
Baran laughs "Sounds like a perfect way to end the evening…"
