    Summary

    “If you stare any harder,” a voice says, startling Frank where he stands leaning against the charge desk with his arms tightly folded across his chest. “You’re gonna burn a hole through the back of Dr. Miller’s head.”

    He glances over at Dana, where the charge nurse mirrors his position, and emits a soft grunt in response.

    It wouldn’t be the end of the world.

    --

    Or, when a new doctor at PTMC shows interest in Mel, Frank is forced to confront his feelings for her.

    Summary

    There’s a crack in the doorframe. It means the door doesn’t really lock half the time, that it’s just as good as broadcasting every single shower and flush and sound she makes straight to Conrad’s room.

    Summary

    Conrad’s eyes look almost black in this light. The opposite of a star, he’d told her at thirteen, is a black hole. “I can’t do that to him.”

    She shrugs. “So don’t.” Curls her toes in her flats, the adhesive of the sole leaking through. Sticky. “Don’t do it to him, then. Do it for me.”

    Summary

    He buries his face in her lap, probably burning the soft, sensitive skin of her thigh with his five-o’-clock shadow. It's not enough. He needs to crawl inside her. Nap under a canopy of her ribs. He wraps his arm wholly around her. “Fucking love you,” he mumbles.

    She plays with his hair in the early morning quiet. It's pensive, the way she scrapes her nails along his scalp.

    “Why are you being like this?” she eventually asks.

    “I'm always like this.” He's fucking nice. To her, anyway.

    -

    They both have scars from bullets. They both hate the explosions of Fourth of July. They deal with it differently. They deal with it together.

    Summary

    You have three new messages. First message, from 4:12 AM.

    Hey Samira, I’m gonna just keep calling until I’ve spoken to you or you show up in the Pitt, but uh… you gotta come get your boy. He’s f-fine, just a little concussion, it may or may not be my fault—I didn’t start the fight, but I sure didn’t de-escalate it, you know? Anyway, Abbot saved my ass from getting murked in Chairs and uh. It’s not great. Love you, bye!

    Second message, from 4:18 AM.

    Hey Samira, he’s specifically asked me to stop calling you, but I’m more afraid of you than I’m afraid of him, because you’ll be disappointed in me and that’s worse—

    ++

    Jack Abbot takes a punch. It's not what hurts the most.
