Work Text:
Another busy day at the Animal Hospital. The little intern thought as he glanced at the cameras in his place of work. He was scanning for anomalies, as any good little intern did. Once satisfied with the normalcy of the patients who just walked in, he started filling out paperwork to allow them into the hospital. “You look new at this….” The patient on the other side of the window started, looking impatient with the Intern. “You know I don’t have all day,” He quipped, rolling his eyes as the intern struggled to work the camera.“Sorry, I’m new,” The bunny replied, looking for the capture button on the camera. He found it a second later, though ended up having the flash on.
“. . .”
“. . .”
Poor patient.
Once they were taken care of and sent to room 3, Intern heard a familiar voice. “Hello, friend.” Barney greeted in that deep, husky voice of his. He walked up to the check-in counter. He always showed up towards the end of the Interns shift, asking (and sometimes flirting) for a coffee. Today was no different. The white rabbit leaned against the counter, offering the Intern a signature smile and asking for a cup like the place was a Starbucks.
The intern however, had different plans. “I was reading about how chocolate in coffee is really good! If you wait until the nurses station is open at the end of my shift, I’ll get you a nice, warm cup of coffee mixed with chocolate…” The intern attempted at a wink, though ultimately ended up frog-blinking at Barney. Apparently Barney had a thing for idiots, because his face lit up like a night sky on the 4th of July. He nodded, and walked into the check-in station.
“I hope you don’t mind if I continue to check animals in. The secretary will taze me if I don’t do my job…” The intern informed his coffee-loving friend, his generic smile burning a hole through Barney’s soul. He turned back to the counter, and started the process of checking-in customers. Barney simply stood behind him and watched, taking note of how adorable the little intern was.
One minute passed.
Then two.
Then Barney finally realized he was staring right at the Intern, and barely managed to peel his eyes off the guy. Then Ron From Accounting showed up, a typical deadpan-expression on his face. “Hi Ron From Accounting!” The Intern greeted, his natural smile somehow getting larger. Ron made a verbal sound of aggravation, though his eyes showed there was no real anger in his face. “Just Ron, man,” He said, standing still as the Intern snapped a headshot of himself.
“Oh, sorry! I’ll remember that for next time! You’re in room 8!” The Intern replied, a comedic sized sweat drop next to his head. Ron smiled, a very genuine, happy smile. Unfortunately Barney saw, and his eyes narrowed. Before he could stop himself he stepped forward and reached out for the Intern. He spun the shorter guy around and they were suddenly facing each other, too close for comfort. Barney didn’t realize the blush that dusted itself on the Intern’s ears. “Ronnie boy here needs surgery, eh? Let me take him up, I promise he’ll be fine…” Barney seethed, eyes darkening as his hands clenched around the Interns waist.
Before a response could be made by either the Intern or Ron, the secretary opened the door to the check-in station. He saw the Interns face, then looked up to Barney, who finally seemed to realize the little distance between them both. They instantly shot apart, so red they could be confused for the fire extinguisher down the hall. The secretary sighed, stepping back out and muttering something about delusional idiots. He grabbed Ron’s hand and dragged him off to Room 8, yelling back at the Intern. “If I catch your lovesick ass one more time I’m going to taze both you,” and that was the end of it.
The two men watched as Ron and the secretary left the Check-in station, before looking back at each other. Just then, a familiar chime rang through the hospital. “My shift is over! Come with me to the Nurses Station!” The Intern exclaimed, instantly forgetting what just transpired. Intern, bring the total copycat he was, grabbed Barney’s hand and brought him down the hall to where the Nurse was now selling items.
And there it was. Chocolate.
The intern threw his money at the Nurse and grabbed the chocolate bar off the counter, stuffing it into his shirt. “It’s in my inventory! Let’s make that coffee Barney..!” Moments later the two found their way back to the coffee machine, with the Intern reaching down his shirt to find the chocolate he stuffed in it only a bit ago. He pulled out a few clumps of fur with the chocolate, and then just plopped the whole thing into the coffee. No stirring, nothing. He lifted the coffee cup up to Barney’s lips, and told him to drink.
Barney looked at the Intern. Then back into the coffee. He saw a tuft of fur floating around the surface and immediately backpedaled. “Y’know what? I ain’t really need that coffee after all, haha…” He smiled. The intern wasn’t having it. He stared at Barney for a second, then dipped his head back and took all the chocolate-coffee-fur mixture into his mouth. He set the cup down, then reached for Barney’s head. He pulled the taller man down and linked their lips together for a second, before spitting all the coffee in his own mouth into Barney’s.
…..
…………ew? Apparently not to Barney, as he looked like he was in absolute bliss. After ingesting the coffee, he and the Intern had an intense makeout session, their sloppy kissing sounds echoing through the hospital.
The secretary was going to kill them.
