Danny was walking by and he noticed the boy laying there. He was almost scared when the boy shot up, and it took Danny a quick second to recover. “Um… ten-thirty?” he said, awkwardly checking his watch. “Are you, like, okay, man? Do I need to call someone for you or something?”

They got a hold of themself for a moment, just letting the blood rush out of his head and get over the dizziness. “Um... no, no, I’m fine. Just...making sure I wasn’t out here for too long.” They turned and saw the person that was talking to them. “Hi. I’m Alex.”

apxdis:

“Oh, no, sweetheart. With the kinds of people that come into ERs, I doubt you would wanna hang around there for too long. And then you’d never get done with whatever it is you’re trying to do. At least drink some water, okay, honey? Or else you’ll get super dehydrated. Cold water will help keep you awake too. Trust me, I got through nursing school.”

They nodded, realizing it’s probably pretty useless to fight with this person. “Um... ok, cold water. Got it.” They scratched the back of their neck awkwardly.

“Stranger Things is making me feel like I really need to learn Morse Code just in case I ever get possessed by a Shadow Monster.”

They nodded their agreement. “I get that. Stranger Things is really good. Stresses me out, though. I’m always so worried about those kids.”

apxdis:

“Alright, angel, drink too much of that too quickly and you’ll end up in the ER tomorrow morning. And I don’t wanna end up being the one to put your IV line in.”

Alex blushed a little, but downed the rest of their coffee. What could they do? They’ve been pulling all nighters for weeks now. “Sorry, but I think the ER is probably better than what I’ve been working on. I’ll take my chances.”

They were laying outside, stretched out across a bench. Sure, a minor odd thing to see in the middle of the day, but they weren’t too worried about it. Alex was busy meditating -- or their version of meditating, which was laying down and trying not to go blind from accidentally looking into the sun. They heard a noise and snapped up.

“Fuck, what time is it?” They asked no one in particular.
