Work Text:
It was a day like no other at Sturdy Bones Hospital. For once, it seemed almost peaceful for a place that usually entailed nothing but chaos.
Yet despite the mostly calm atmosphere, Dr Bones cookie was still on edge for some reason.
Actually, it seemed that the cookie was constantly on edge. With the amount of close calls in the past week though, it was understandable.
Thankfully for the rest of the hospital staff, they seemed to steadily be calming down with the lack of incidents. If anything, for the first time in a month, they seemed contempt.
After seeing their patient to the door, they grabbed their medical chart. At seeing the long list of names, the cookie feels all the more determined to help every single one of them.
Still flipping through the chart, they call out for the next patient, signaling that it's free to enter.
The door opened while the cookie was still distracted, causing them to jump at the sound.
Quickly regaining their composure, they put the medical chart back, turning to face their patient.
"S-Sorry about that, how can I..."
They pause at seeing who their patient was.
That perfectly ironed suit and well combed hair masking his overall messy habits..
Dr Bones Cookie wasn't thrilled to see him in their office again, but gestured for him to sit down anyway.
"Have you been overworking yourself again?" The doctor asked with a disappointed tone.
To their surprise, their patient shook their head no. "Actually, I took a vacation recently."
His doctor hummed in approval. "Feeling nauseous?"
"N-No, I've been trying to cut down the coffee.." Cappuccino cookie muttered, embarrassed about the fact it took so many lectures to get through to him.
"Okay, what's up with you?" They finally asked. They were honestly at a loss, since there was only so many reasons for him to come in.
"I um.." The prosecutor looked down at the floor, acting strangely bashful. He fiddled with the collar of his suit.
"..." Waiting for his next move, Dr Bones cookie didn't say anything further.
Finally, looking up at the ceiling, he unbuttoned the top of his suit, revealing a tender spot on his upper abdomen.
In an attempt to hide his shame, he quickly sputtered out; "It's been bugging me for a few days now, but, I uh.. I had a case, so.."
Dr Bones cookie just put on disposable gloves (Despite them not really being necessary) and walked over to where Cappuccino cookie was.
"Where did you vacation to, exactly?" They asked, touching the tender spot - and backing off when Cappuccino audibly whimpered.
"T-To the beach. Last Weekend." He paused, his expression twisting into fear. "Is it a rash?"
"..." Dr bones cookie kept quiet, feeling around the area a little more. Then, they finally looked up at their patient, and straightened up.
"You have a sunburn." They said in a matter of fact tone, taking the disposable gloves off and tossing them away.
Cappuccino cookie whimpered pitifully, shifting in his seat with discomfort, trying to ease the burning sensation with his hand.
"G-Good tingly bones— Y-You're gonna make it worse. Don't touch it!" Dr Bones cookie tried to grab Cappuccino cookie's wrist, but he persisted.
Finally, the doctor grabbed his wrists and pinned him back against the wall, something that seemed to finally grab Cappuccinos attention.
For a second, they stayed like that. For a cookie passing by, it would look like they were having a special kind of check up. The romantic tension doesn't go unnoticed.
"J-Just.. stay like this." They quickly pushed off their patient, trying to ignore whatever that was.
Dr Bones cookie quickly writes up a prescription and hands it to Cappuccino cookie who has already buttoned his suit back up.
The prosecutor mutters a quick "thank you" before practically running out of the check up room.
It took a moment of silence for Dr Bones cookie to finally regain enough composure to call the next patient in.
