“I found a twenty dollar bill and didn’t pay attention to the table when I picked it up” he replied as he tried to remain as still as possible. It had taken a few minutes to stop the bleeding but Kenny was not worried -it was the eyebrow bone area after all- but the cut was deep so he knew that he needed stitches. “I gave to a homeless guy when I got here”.

Alex took in a sharp breath, imagining how hard he would have had to hit the edge of a table to get a cut this deep. “Well, after splitting your head open and giving away a twenty to a homeless person, I think you’ll have some good karma heading your way.” Alex threaded the string through the end of the needle, “You ready?”

“I told you already, I didn’t do shit, doc. Some asshole came at me with the busted end of a beer bottle.” He sighed, readjusting in the chair. “Look, you ain’t gotta make me look pretty or anything, just keep the blood from gettin’ in my eye.”

Alex let out a dry chuckle, “Right, right. You didn’t do anything. The question was poorly phrased, I apologize,” she pressed around the deep cut that was on the man’s face, “Well, it should only be a couple stitches and then we can get you out of here.”

Theo shrugged. “Apparently I look just like a guy who stole some dude’s shitty little crotch rocket,” he said. “By the time I was bleeding all over the bar, the real culprit and the charming fellow who’d tried to bash my head in were both being arrested.”

The doctor pursed her lips and nodded, “Well, at least they got what was coming to them. And this isn’t really as bad as it looks, I promise you.” Alex pressed firmly around the deep cut, “Can you feel any of that? Even if it’s just a little bit.”

vivian-mccoy:

“You know one of these days,” Ian started with a grin as she opened the front door to her apartment, “You’re going to stand me up for a second shift at the hospital and I won’t even be all that surprised.” It was a joke cemented by the wide smile gracing her lips. Ian knew Alex well – probably more than either would like to admit, but what had happened in Nigeria had strengthened their bond. You never forget the face of the person who saved your life. “You ready to go?” she asked, stepping out into the hallway as she shrugged on her stadium jacket. “I found this cute little Italian place on the corner that’s supposed to have really good fettuccine.”

Alex smiled to herself when she could hear Vivian start talking to her before the door was even open, “One day,” she nodded in agreement, “But I was able to drag myself away this time.” Alex chuckled and made room at the doorway entrance for the other as she stepped out of her apartment. “Absolutely. Been looking forward to it all day. Perfect choice, too. Carbs is exactly why I need right now.” She turned to lead them down the hallway and out to the sidewalk, “So, how have you been? Haven’t run into around the hospital recently.”

“So,” Alex said, testing to make sure the area was numbed before starting to throw in the stitches, “How’d you do this again?”

“So… i tried that red wine over my hot chocolate and it was good… and I might be day drunk,” She said before laughing.

“Red wine? And hot chocolate? Together?” Alex’s brow furrowed in confusion, “That... sounds interesting.”

lucas-grey:

“I know that it is really early but i am hungry and i am running on three cups of coffee. Come on let’s go grab some food”

Alex glanced at her watch, “I’ve got some time before I need to be at work. What’re you thinking?”

jamesxspencer:

“Okay, okay, gimme a moment to think… This isn’t just a decision you make willy nilly. You might have to help me here… Hmm… What do you think: mint chocolate chip or cookies and cream ice cream?”

“Honestly,” Alex raised an eyebrow and turned toward the man, “Cookies and cream all the way.”
