thinkin abt jack initiating sleepy early morning sex :( he's all warm and dazed as he starts to wake up from a dream (about you of course) and the morning light is just barely filtering in through the curtains :( he instinctively presses u up against him, so tight you can feel the rise and fall of his chest against ur back as you start to come to :( he nudges his knee between yours, already slightly splayed open from sleep, making sure the flat of his thigh presses up against your pussy through your sleep shorts :( his big hands roaming all over you and needily groping your breasts through your thin tank top :( his voice all gravelly but soft against your ear, "my pretty baby, wake up for me" :( and you reluctantly do now, finally allowing yourself to fully feel the sleepy weight of him all over you as you turn your head and meet his eyes, your own still puffy with sleep, he's already gazing at you, drinking in the softness draped over you by the slow-burgeoning dawn, "what time is it Jackie?" :( he splays a warm hand across your belly and rubs soothing circles, "still early angel" as he kisses you so gently, holds you so firmly to him :( you slowly realize he's got his thigh between yours and you involuntarily press down on it, needing the contact, needing it everywhere, wanting him everywhere :( followed by slow, lazy, deep kisses and groping each other until he has to cuddle fuck you and have you fall back asleep with him and his cum still inside you :((((((
ok so this is probably not exactly what you were expecting, but I realized ive already done jack overstimulating the reader so think of this as getting your revenge
I also did my best to leave this one completely gender neutral, so there is no gendered language, but do keep in mind that I write from the lens of an afab reader
18+
This was your revenge, and god were you enjoying it. Jack liked to torture you, and very rarely did you get to return the favor. So when you did, you really took advantage of the opportunity.
He was sitting on the bed, leaning back against the headboard, hands fisted in the sheets. His knuckles were white and you were a little worried he might rip the linens, but not enough to stop. Your hands were wrapped around his hard length, sliding up and down, twisting around the red and angry head.
Youâd had him like this for almost an hour so far. Five times so far youâd brought him right up the edge before backing off.Â
Jack had started begging after the third denial.
âPlease, baby please!â
He sounded delicious. Wrecked and hoarse from groaning and crying out repeatedly. Youâd been tempted to give in, to finally let him cum. But when Jack edged you, he pushed you further, getting your ruined orgasms up to the double digits, never giving in until he was satisfied, long after you started sobbing and crying for him.
So you held out, pulling sobbing moans from his chest and straddling his thighs to pin his body to the bed. He was still stronger than you, his hips bucking and jostling your position every time he got close again, but you held on.Â
âPlease!â
Jack was gasping for air, head thrown back and eyes shut tightly as he neared the peak for the sixth time.
âHmm,â you hummed, your hands keeping up their twisting rhythm. The wet squelching sound of the lube combined with the copious amounts of precum that had dripped from his time filled the room. âDo you deserve it?â
âYes,â he was gasping out. His hips bucked up into your hands again. The tip of his cock was flushed, nearly purple. âYes, I do. Please!â
You pretended to contemplate for a moment, your pace slowing as you made a show of tilting your head.Â
âI donât know - â
âFuck! PleaseâŠâ
He whimpered and you caved.
âCum for me,â your hands tightened, rhythm picking back up.
He was moaning and twitching as you drove him there relentlessly. Your eyes jumped between his face, brows furrowed and mouth open, and the leaking length of him before you. Both were equally enticing sights.
âOh fuck, oh fuck, fuck Iâm gonna cum!â
âThatâs it,â you cooed, pumping him even faster until you felt the telltale throbbing between your fingers. Entranced, you watch as he froze, before groans and whines were spilling out of him and his hips were bucking back up into your hands.Â
Jack finally got what he wanted, and the explosion of rope after rope from his cock proved it. The pearlescent fluid covered your hands, easing the slide of them even more as you gave him no reprieve. Some of it even splashed up, scorching hot against your skin as it dripped down your chest.
His orgasm dragged on and on, much longer than youâd seen it before and with much more cum. You didnât stop, though, keeping up the rigorous pumping and not letting him squirm away.
When the flow had stopped and Jack was panting, you finally stopped. He was fighting to catch his breath, eyes shut tightly and head leaned back.
But you werenât finished.
You reached back out, wrapping your fingers around his softening length and beginning a slow rhythm once again. His eyes shot open. He reached out, trying to pry your hands away, but you shushed him, dodging his attempts to dislodge you.
âNo, please I canât - â
âShhh,â he whimpered, his length twitching in your hands and starting to slowly fill out once again. âIâll tell you when youâre done, but itâs my turn to have some fun.â
i have many thoughts and all of them are about boyfriend jack abbot!!!
boyfriend jack abbot who comes in after a long night shift and immediately strips down to come spoon you in bed, ditching his prosthetic in record time to maximize the 45 min he has with you before you have to wake up for work.
boyfriend jack abbot who isnât a great cook but has mastered at least three of your favorite dishes because he likes to leave them on the stove for you on days he leaves for work before you get home.

boyfriend jack abbot who made you watch tarantino movies with him until you wouldnât stop pointing out all the gratuitous feet shots and he banned you from watching with him (thank god).
boyfriend jack abbot who has never been out of the country for something not-military related, so you drag him on a trip to scotland and make him do a lochness monster tour with you.

(a/n: yeah he'd go absolutely insane putting on the performance of his life. also if it ever became illegal to use that first pic of jack for fic headers, i'd be locked up so fast. its just TOO good. this is for my 200 to 2k writing spree, go request something if you haven't already :)
word count: 390
You'd expected Jack to play along for maybe an hour. A hand on the small of your back near the nursesâ station, a quick "yeah, we're seeing each other" if anyone asked. Enough for your ex to see it and feel something.
Jack sat a cup of hot coffee in front of you during a lull. "I don't drink that." you said, staring at it.
"You will today." He didn't even look up from the chart he was signing. "Your ex boyfriend is watching from triage."
Youâd realize later you hadnât asked him to keep track of where your ex was looking. Or to even bring you cups of coffee with a doting smile on his face. You hadn't asked him to do any of it and he kept doing it anyway.
By the second day, he was walking you to your car after a double. By the fourth, he'd started calling you honey in front of the residents, not only casually, but like it was easy. Like it wasn't a bit anymore.Â
You brought it up in the stairwell on the walk to your car after a shift. "You're really committing to this." you said, trying to keep it light.
Jack leaned against the rail, arms crossed. "Would it bother you if I said I wasnât really committing to any bit."
You didn't have an answer ready.
You'd built this whole thing around what you ex would see, what he'd feel, whether he'd finally understand what he lost. But you'd hadn't stopped to think about why you went straight to Jack for this plan. You'd just thought about who would make a great boyfriend and you only saw Jack. You looked at him and thought who wouldn't love to come home to that.
"Jack.."
"You don't have to answer right now." He pushed off the rail, close enough that you had to tilt your head back. "But for the record. I wasn't doing this for your ex. Not since after the first day I agreed to this."
"Then why'd you keep doing it?"
He was quiet before he answered. "Because I like bringing you coffee you don't drink. I like walking you to your car. I like hearing myself call you honey." He smirked and shrugged. "Fake doesnât feel like the right word for it.â
"So what happens when he stops watching?" You asked, not bothering to hide your growing smile.
"Nothing changes for me." He tucked a strand of hair behind your ear, unhurried, like the two of you had all the time in the world. "Question's whether it changes for you."
cw: smut, reader is getting head from abbot lmao
jack abbot, who is absolutely insatiable when it comes to giving you head. the man will eat and eat and eat, not bothered one bit when your thighs clamp around his head, so overwhelmed that you're tugging on his hair and very nearly shoving him away.
jack abbot, who loves pleasing you because he likes making you feel good, but also because it makes him feel useful. makes him feel like his body is more than just a body. he's convinced that getting a woman to come from his tongue takes more skill, more perception, more observation and interpretation, and he loves nothing more than being an overachiever. he loves how pliant you get, how breathy your sounds are, how you can never seem to stop your hands from roaming, desperately trying to find something to grab onto, to ground you.
jack abbot, who will nudge at your core through your jeans, pressing his nose against the seam, putting just enough pressure and friction there that you're teetering on the edge. he knows exactly what he's doing, and he has absolutely no plans of taking your pants off until you've orgasmed.
"you wanna come? yeah? you gonna fucking finish on my face through your pants?"
had a dream about this exchange last night, and woke up with that last sentence on my mind. i am not okay!!
SUMMARY: you were not a jealous person. that is until it comes to your very hot boyfriend being ogled at by a new nurse at the pitt. (2.1k words)
CONTAINS: jealousy, established relationship, allusions to smut, like daydreaming about it but nothing actually happens (thinly veiled voyeurism but i feel it's justified)
i was listening to the song by maisie peters (my beloved), and i had to write my king with it
Jack always made sure you felt comfortable in your relationship with him. He made you lunches when he could. He took you out and made you feel like the only girl that ever mattered to him.
That didnât quite quell your feelings when you saw other women fawn over him.
You hadnât been possessive before Jack. Maybe it was because youâd had a horrific taste in men in your prior relationships, and no one had really wanted them. But that was the difference with Jack.
You knew your boyfriend was hot. And not just casually hot, the kind that had your heart (and somewhere just a little lower) throb every time you saw him.
It was in his every feature. His hair that you loved to run your hands through was silver with age and had curled in ways that he knew you loved. His eyes, dark and piercing, were enough to make a grown woman melt when they were focused on them. God knew his voice didnât help too, especially when it got all low and gravelly. Jackâs charm was itâs own thing too; the joking, the winking, the confidence that seemed to emanate from every inch of him.
Maybe part of it was seeing him in uniform. You knew it did things to people. It did things to you. But sometimes you wished it was only you who got to reap the benefits of him in his SWAT uniform, or with his stethoscope around his neck. It was a silly thought you knew, and almost definitely selfish, but it didnât stop you thinking it.
Especially when you went to visit him at work. You didnât do it often. Just when you knew heâd gotten to PTMC early, or that he was working a double. You wanted to see him, and it felt even better that he wanted to see you too. And it was always with the promise of you bringing him lunch, for a change, that often ended with you getting food for the entire night shift instead.
It was on one of these nights that you noticed her.
Youâd slipped in, handing a meatball sandwich to Dan on security as a bribe before going straight to the nurses station. Lenaâs face brightened just a little at the sight of you. âWhat are you doing out so late?â
âHad to come see my favourite people,â you grinned, leaning against the counter.
âAnd Iâm top of that list, right?â she asked as she looked at you over her glasses.
You reached into your bag, pulling out a chicken and salad sandwich and sliding it across to her. âOh, of course. Way higher than my boyfriend. Speaking of, where has he gotten to?â
Lena accepted the sandwich with an approving nod, setting it aside only to glance around for Jack with you. âNo idea. Canât be far though.â
You rolled your eyes at her before moving through the Pitt like you belonged there. And you did, honestly. Ever since you and Jack had started dating a whole year and a half ago, youâd come to the Pitt a lot. People recognised you now. Some, mostly Shen when he was around, called you âMrs Abbotâ, a title you didnât have yet but knew it belonged to you. They appreciated the food you brought, even if everyone knew it was just to buy you some peace and quiet with Jack. As long as it kept you coming back and Jack in good spirits, it was all worth it.
You were used to having to search for him. He could be anywhere, doing any number of things, but what remained consistent was that he was always down here. So you werenât that surprised to see him exiting one of the trauma rooms, like rough and ragged in all the best ways.
What did surprise you was the woman trailing behind him.
She was a little older than you maybe. She was pretty even whilst looking tired. And she was watching Jack like she was trying to strategise how she could eat him up at the soonest availability.
You were about to try and convince yourself that youâd imagined that last part when Crus appeared at your shoulder. âYou met the new nurse yet?â
âSo thatâs who she is,â you muttered, passing him his cheese and tomato sandwich.
He gave you a look that said he knew exactly what you were thinking as he took a bite. âThatâs a no then.â
âJackâs only mentioned her in passing. Said sheâs keen.â He had in fact done so. Youâd been out shopping for clothes to a family event that had closed in on you too fast when work cropped up, as it often did. You searched for her name in your mind. âRachel, right?â
Crus nodded, speaking through a mouthful. âKeen is one way of putting it. Iâd say sheâs obvious, but I think heâs just too blinded by you to notice.â
That helped a little. You knew it to be true. Jack was loyal, almost too loyal in some places, but you loved it about him. Itâs part of what made you feel safe in the relationship, knowing that there was always someone who wasnât halfway out the door with another girl. He made sure there wasnât a person out there who didnât know that you belonged to him and he belonged to you.
Except for Rachel, it seemed. Your fingers played with the necklace that had his initials on as you watched, sensing that freshly familiar possessive urge underneath your ribs. No matter how much you trusted him, the jealousy didnât seem to want to stop.
Jack looked up from his chart, sighing as he went to say something to Rachel. Then he stopped, letting his eyes drift back until they landed on you. It calmed you a little to see how his expression softened, just that little bit, in the way youâd come to know he only did for you. Crus had disappeared because he knew way better than to get between the two of you. A fact Rachel would have to learn when she stepped in your way when you got closer to Jack.
âCan I help you?â she asked, her voice tight. You would have found it amusing at any other time. But not then. Not when she was in your path.
âI was just going to see my boyfriend.â
âWhat room is he in?â Rachel said, looking at you as if you were dirt on her shoe. You made a mental note to tell Lena that her new nurse needed some lessons in bedside manners.
Before you could snap back though, Jack stepped forward. âHey Rachel, sheâs here for me.â
You found some sort of strange thrill at the way her head turned to look at him disbelievingly. You were a grown woman, you shouldnât take pride in the jealousy of others. And yet.
You pushed past Rachel, wrapping your arms around Jackâs middle and pressing a kiss to his neck. Beneath your lips, you could feel his chuckle. âMissed me, have you sweetheart?â
âSo much, Jack,â you murmured, pulling back to look him in the eyes innocently. âBrought food for you and the others though.â
âArenât you just an angel,â he said amusedly. You knew it wasnât a question. Late at night, heâd whisper to you that you were sent to guard him, to keep him sane and keep him on earth. âWhat did you bring me?â
You kissed his cheek and pulled his BLT from your bag. âYour favourite.â
Jack grinned proudly as he set the sandwich aside. âI should really start listening to Dana and marry you. Make you the official Mrs Abbot.â
âIâm ready when you are,â you teased, feeling the warmth settle in your chest at the idea of marrying him. You already had a Pinterest board set aside for when he asked, one that he had seen frequently when he stole your phone. You werenât rushing though. You knew heâd know when the time was right.
You could feel Rachelâs eyes on your back. There was a heat to her gaze that you didnât appreciate. Just because she thought Jack was hot didnât make him hers, and you were determined to prove it to her.
With one quick glance to make sure Jack wasnât urgently needed, you stood behind him as he started to eat his sandwich. He only hummed as you slipped your arms around his middle and barely batted an eye when you started to kiss his neck. The only sound of vague complaint that came from him started when you sucked a bruise in a place far too prominent.
âIs it my birthday?â he asked, his voice only slightly rough as he swallowed down the food. âIs that why Iâm getting this treatment?â
âMaybe,â you hummed, marking along his neck like it was your sole purpose. And finally, you heard a huff beside you as Rachel rushed off.
He let you keep going, just for a minute, before saying, âHoney, Iâm at work.â
âAnd I miss you when youâre here,â you murmured, trying to sound whiny enough that he wouldnât stop you from your mission.
âIs that so?â Jack said. He sounded just a little amused, but in that way you knew that told you when you were pushing it. âHere I just thought you were jealous.â
You lifted your head to meet his gaze indignantly. âI am not jealous.â
He snorted, turning to cup your face in his gentle, calloused hands. âYou are. And itâs sweet, baby, but we both know Iâm all yours.â
âShe didnât know that though, did she?â you huffed, leaning into his touch like you were starving for it. You knew it wasnât Jackâs fault that he was abnormally hot, but it didnât help that sliver of insecurity when he couldnât shake his admirers off.
Jack sighed. Not in frustration, but understanding. He hadnât considered how it would look to you, half assuming Rachelâs closeness was a willingness to learn. But he saw it now. He knew that if he reversed it â him coming to see you at work with some boy following you around, acting like you didnât belong to Jack â heâd feel a little insecure. More than a little, if he was being honest. His thumbs brushed your cheeks as he pressed a gentle kiss to your forehead. ââM sorry, baby. I wasnât paying any attention to her, I promise.â
âI know you wouldnât,â you murmured, expression softening as you basked in his attention. âItâs just⊠she should know youâre mine.â
He pulled one hand from your face to gesture to the marks on his neck. âMission accomplished.â
âNot as thoroughly as I want,â you said, rolling your eyes. Youâd much rather he could fuck you in front of everyone, just so no one else ever got the same idea as Rachel. Even just him and you and your mouth in an on-call room would have been enough.
But chance would be a fine thing. Before you could even drag him in the direction of somewhere a little more private, Lena was calling Jack towards the ambulance bay. âFuck,â he cursed beneath his breath, âI gotta go, sweetheart.â
âI know,â you sighed, giving him an understanding smile.
His eyes darted across the ER as the paramedics pulled in the patient, rattling off information at a speed some wouldnât be able to keep up with. Instead of rushing to their side though, he pulled you in for a kiss. Too deep, too intimate to be something others would see. When he pulled back, you felt Rachelâs eyes on you again. This time though, you knew she wasnât going to push with him again.
âIâll see you at home,â he whispered as he brushed a strand of hair from your face. Only then he rushed away.
You stood there for a moment, feeling the shift from peaceful to hectic like a physical thing. You were used to it really. It didnât hurt like it did in the beginning, especially because you knew it wasnât personal. It was just the way the Pitt worked.
Ellis waved you out as you left, taking her usual sandwich from you with a quiet appreciation. The drive home was quiet in the way you liked, especially when you were drifting towards being too tired to drive. When you got home, you headed straight for the bed you shared with Jack with a yawn. And as you were settled and drifting towards sleep, you heard a ping from your phone. Jack was the only person you had notifications on for, so you werenât surprised to see it was from him. What brought on the reluctantly proud smile to your face was the message itself:
Jack: I like you possessive. Iâll show you how much when I get home.

His eyes darted across the ER as the paramedics pulled in the patient, rattling off information at a speed some wouldnât be able to keep up with. Instead of rushing to their side though, he pulled you in for a kiss. Too deep, too intimate to be something others would see. When he pulled back, you felt Rachelâs eyes on you again. This time though, you knew she wasnât going to push with him again.
âIâll see you at home,â he whispered as he brushed a strand of hair from your face. Only then he rushed away.
You stood there for a moment, feeling the shift from peaceful to hectic like a physical thing. You were used to it really. It didnât hurt like it did in the beginning, especially because you knew it wasnât personal. It was just the way the Pitt worked.
Ellis waved you out as you left, taking her usual sandwich from you with a quiet appreciation. The drive home was quiet in the way you liked, especially when you were drifting towards being too tired to drive. When you got home, you headed straight for the bed you shared with Jack with a yawn. And as you were settled and drifting towards sleep, you heard a ping from your phone. Jack was the only person you had notifications on for, so you werenât surprised to see it was from him. What brought on the reluctantly proud smile to your face was the message itself:
Jack: I like you possessive. Iâll show you how much when I get home.
Wdym you have to eat more greens than sweets and fast pack ramen now that he makes food for you everyday?
Wdym you can't speed like a racecar driver anymore since he drives you everywhere?
Wdym he crosses his arms over his chest and makes you fold your laundry instead of tossing it without a thought into your drawers?
Wdym he tells you to go to the bathroom before a movie or car ride, as if you don't know your own body better than he does? (He does.)
Wdym he makes you wash your plushies? Patting your bottom and grumbling about how if you want more then you need to take care of the ones you already haveâ
Wdym his touch is so warm and tender that when he says bye in the morning it makes your cunt puffy all day until it hurts?
Wdym he has to stay in the bathroom and help you wash your hair in the tub because he has to 'make sure you don't hurt yourself' but the whole time he's just staring at your nipples
Wdym whenever you whine and complain too much he'll squish your cheeks between his fingers as he fucks into you at a brutal pace "cmon, baby, speak up. You wanna keep talking back? Let the neighbors hear what a fucking brat you are, huh? Go on, talk back sweetheart." as you try to hold back your moans and whines, knowing he'll just be more of a meanie the louder you are.
what are your smutty thoughts on sugardaddy! jack đđ
Oo! You know I havenât really thought about this trope with Jack tbh, only Titus.
Letâs say you and Jack meet at work, he was collecting everyoneâs orders from the little cafe just a few blocks from the hospital. Shen told him that he could just get it delivered. Jack told him that it wouldnât hurt to take a short work before clocking in. You greet him as cheerful as you could at almost closing. He is apologising to you for the giant order because their coffee machine broke. You smiled and told him itâs no problem, you would usually cuss a customer out in your head for this kind thing but he was gorgeous so you let it slide.
After the order was done, Jack tipped you around 50% of the orders value. You told him you couldnât take it personally but he could put in the tip jar. He frowned a little before putting into the jar, thanking you for taking his order 20 minutes before closing.
This became a regular thing, him ordering, tipping you then leaving until he asks for your number. You noticed his wedding ring and sadly declined. He told you that he was married but she passed. You were pretty sure that was line but over the past 2 weeks of him coming in.. it felt real. You wrote it on the cup and give him his order.
You both flirt with each other back and forth, Jack taking you on expensive trips and dates when he has time or days off. You always decline when he asks if you need extra money for rent or food. âLet me take care of my girl please, I know she deserves itâ He always spoils you so you decide that he needs to be spoiled as well.
âyou do so much for me Jackie, let me take of my man, I know he sure does work so hardâ
Youâre lying in bed together, as you suck onto his cock. His hand rubbing your ass, spanking it a little making you giggle onto his cock.
After sucking him off, youâre riding him slow and lovingly because you just wanna show him how much you appreciate him and actually love him. When youâre both about to come, you kiss his lips messily whispering that you love him.
âLove you so much Jackie.. fuck..â
âLove you too bunny, so so much.â
After that night, Jack tells you to move in with him, and to quit your job. He has more than enough money to support you both.
I hope this was okay! It wasnât really that smutty because I honestly believe that that man wouldnât want anything in return until you told him that you wanted him to be your boyfriend. As he didnât want to take advantage of your relationship together â€ïž
coming down the stairs in a string bikini with a lil charm dangling in between your tits. jack is sooooo dad about it, standing from the couch with one arm extended as he walks towards you
âuh uh, no wayâ
âjaaaack itâs cute!â you whine, cocking your hip and placing your hand on the swell as you stand your ground.
âyeah too fuckinâ cute, i canât pop a chubby on the beach, baby. please, for my sake, change.â he tries, but you know he wants you to wear it. he just loves the teasing faux argument, riles him up, even.
sauntering out the door with a smile and jack rubs his thumb on the bone at the center of your chest. âso fuckinâ sexy, love youâ he relents, a soft whisper and rough kiss to your lips before he pulls back to grab the beach umbrella and your tote.
like of course he'd wake up earlier than his pretty girl, little smile on his face as he watches you in your sleep. quietly getting out of bed to bring you tea or juice in bed for when you wake up, just to be greeted with you smiling up at him when he re-enters the room with your drinks.
he couldnât help himself at the sight of you though :( cock already getting hard from just looking at you n you immediately spotting it with a little giggle (you both sleep naked after all) so he puts your drinks down and gets under the blanket and on top of you. body all warm n his whole weight pushing down on you making you feel all fuzzy.
a slightly pathetic little whine escapes him as he burys his face in your neck and takes in your morning scent, he canât help it, he loves the way his lil girl smells. your still a lil sleepy n not fully there but understand what heâs doing. cock rubbing against you now fully hard already and you just pathetically grind up against him :(
ââm already kinda hardâŠâ he whispers into your neck, his breath hot against it.
âmmm can feel it daddy, wanna fuck me?â he continues rutting into you as you answer him with a little smile. can feel that heâs a little embarrassed with how needy heâs being, his face still buried in your neck or moving down to suck n lick your sensitive nipples.
doesnât even answer you, just pushes his cock inside. slightly selfishly not even bothering to prep you. thereâs a side of him that relishes in feeling your wetness grow around him. knowing his cock is the cause as well as you being so tight n warm around him, its heaven. ur always so plaint in the morning anyways, would let daddy get away with anything :(
you being so good for him, lying still and letting him stretch you out. his little whimpers into your neck continue as he buries himself to the hilt. doesn't even bother to pull all the way out n back in, so he ends up just grinding in and out with shallow thrusts. feels so good for ur daddy, n ur just getting wetter n wetter around his thick cock. takes everything in him not to cum before he makes you fall apart first.
After reading your pope and jack fic, I was wondering if you could do one where reader is a student doctor at the Pitt but is married to Pope who in this case could be like..jackâs nephew or smth..and he just gives off such Doberman energy when he comes to pick her up at the end of her shift oh and and you best believe he kind of just stares Robby down cos he knows how mean he can be to his wife in shifts.
Also I think Dana would be such a nice person to pope.

The end of your shift couldnât come soon enough.Â
In the span of twelve hours, youâd been doused in bodily fluids twice, hit on by a creepy old drunk who couldnât keep his hands to himself, passively dismissed by Robby after he deemed you âtoo slowâ for a trauma (when in reality, the med student next to you was the one who wouldnât hand you the damn tube), and had your lunch stolen when it clearly had your name written on itâfour times might you add.Â
To top the whole very bad day off, your husband hadnât responded to the messages you had sent hours ago asking if heâd be back in time to pick you up because the forecast called for rain, and like all bad days had gone, your car basically gave up the ghost the moment you parked it in the employee lot.Â
So, you were almost scrub-less, uncomfortable, embarrassed, and so starving you almost thought about paying an insane price for a small Uber-ed meal before you also realized that the app hadnât saved your information and your card was currently sitting on the kitchen counter.Â
Just what you needed.Â
The groan, along with the rumbles of your stomach, caused many heads to turn.Â
âIs there a stampede in here? Or is your stomach in the process of eating itself,â Dana asked, though her eyes didnât leave the nursesâ board.Â
Your head landed next to the keyboard with a loud thunk. âI think my stomach tried to eat itself a couple of hours ago before realizing that it was completely empty.â
âI saw you brought lunch. Whereâd that go?âÂ
If glares could put someone six feet under, the one you were giving your computer should have imploded it. âCurrently being digested in the stomach of a med student.âÂ
âGood Lord. You poor thing.âÂ
âTell me about it. Iâd been dreaming of those leftovers since last night!âÂ
Dana gave you a knowing look. âDid your husband cook it?âÂ
âYep.â Your chair squeaked as you leaned back. âAnd I didnât even get to enjoy it for the second time. Heâs going to be pissed.âÂ
âWhoâs going to be pissed?â Trinity asked, already leaning on the counter like getting closer to you would make the gossip flow over. âCause if youâre talking about Dr. Robby, that ship sailed around 2:30.âÂ
You closed your eyes and ran a hand down your face. âTrust me; I already know heâs pissed off at the world. Iâve been on the receiving end of that way too much today.âÂ
She gave you a sympathetic wince. âI heard about that.âÂ
âWho hasnât,â you muttered with a harsh snort.Â
That was the other thing that had added to your humiliation. Robby hadnât just quietly dismissed you or corrected you after the trauma, no, he rather loudly decided to spew his personal thoughts about your work ethic in front of not just your coworkers but also the patientâs family who were there for moral support. Blatant strangers had a front seat to watch your attending rip into you all while it hadnât even been your fault.Â
Just thinking about it brought another heated flush up your neck.Â
âTo answer your question, her husbandâs the one whoâs going to be pissed,â Dana filled her in while rewriting a name. âHeâs very particular about who gets to eat his food.âÂ
Another groan rumbled your chest. âMed student didnât even return the Tupperware. Now heâs going to be extra pissed at that.âÂ
For a small second, Trinity looked almost nervous. âWill you be okay?âÂ
Her concern made a small feeling of comfort and pride bloom in your chest. If there was one person you could count on other than your family and Dana, it was Trinity, never hesitating to step in if she even thought someone didnât feel safe. You shot her a grateful smile.Â
âOh, Iâll be perfectly fine. Heâll be mad sure, but not at me. Weâll just pray that he wonât spot the student that did it.âÂ
âAmen to that,â Dana muttered. âHeâs like your personal guard dog.âÂ
âAre we going to add that guy who tried to touch your ass earlier?â Trinity teased, and your eyes widened.Â
âDefinitely.â You nodded along. âMight as well add Robby to it too. My husband isnât that fond of him already. I just wish heâd respond to my messages.âÂ
Dana gave you a knowing look. âHe at work today?âÂ
âYeah. There was a problem with one of the houses a few hours out, and he left before I was even out of bed. Said there was a contract breach, kissed me good morning, and drove off.âÂ
âThatâs oddly sweet,â Trinity added.Â
You couldnât help the fond smile that grew on your face. âEven made my coffee for me. I found it with one of those little post-it notes stuck to it.âÂ
âDidnât know he was into doing stuff like that,â Dana said with a small laugh.Â
âYou know how he is,â you replied. âThe manâs love language is acts of service.âÂ
Trinity smiled. âWhat does he do for work?âÂ
Your fingers found the keyboard again while you answered. âHeâs a relator and contractor. Usually, he works from home, but like today, he sometimes has to go out and inspect the houses or make sure the paperwork is in order.âÂ
âSounds like you got yourself a stay-at-home husband.âÂ
You couldnât help but snort. âYeah. He actually really likes to do the house work. Plus, when Iâm home, all Iâm doing is sleeping.â Your eyes caught your wedding band. âHeâs really good to me. Plus, heâs JackâsââÂ
âLadies, if we have time to chat, we have time to work,â Robbyâs voice interrupted the conversation, loud and on the very edge of condescending. âEspecially you, Dr. Cody. Letâs focus on getting patients in and out instead of sitting around, yes?âÂ
You swallowed down an annoyed sigh, instead choosing to stand up without a word. Hating the way you felt under Robbyâs glare almost made you want to put in a two-week notice and move departments. However, emergency medicine was your life; it was the sole reason you met the people who quickly became your family, the reason you met your husband. Your fingers quickly found your wedding band, specially made of the number of diamonds that symbolized how long you and your husband had been dating before he proposed.Â
Grabbing another tablet quickly, you forced yourself to hold your head up high as you passed him. Robby wasnât worth your fear or submission. Plus, it wasnât like he never talked around; youâd caught him and the hospitalâs case manager making small talk way too many times to count. The man was a hypocrite that couldnât see past his own faults and projected them onto his employees.  Â
By the time you rounded the corner, and Robby had vacated the station, Trinity leaned in toward Dana a bit more.Â
âIs there any way to contact her husband? She mentioned her car died, and itâs raining.â Trinity looked in the direction you had disappeared down. âIf I were married and my boss talked to me like that, Iâd want my partner to know.â Â
Dana had already picked up her personal cell after Trinityâs first question. âOh, Iâll make sure he knows.âÂ
_______________________
When you exited the patientâs room, you paused a few feet into the hallway, rubbed your eyes, and continued to stare at the nursesâ station.Â
Dana being there with Trintiy and Dennis was nothing out of the ordinary. However, the added presence of Jack Abbot and your husband was. You hastily crossed the gap between you and the station, concern etching itself in your eyebrows and lips.Â
âAndrew?â you called out. âWhat are you doing here?âÂ
At the sound of your voice, Andrew Cody turned his head so rapidly that it added another wave of worry that he might have pulled something. He stayed still, even when you stopped in front of him, as your hands gently ran up his arms and stopped at his face all while the small group watched on with small smiles (from Jack and Dana) and genuine curiosity (from Dennis and Trinity).Â
âYouâre supposed to be in Altoona right now. Did you get hurt?â you questioned when your eyes couldnât find any visible injuries.Â
He stayed silent while his hands quietly found yours, fingers threading between the gaps and holding you steady.Â
âIâm fine,â he finally said, hazel eyes boring into yours. âJust missed you.âÂ
A relieved exhale escaped from your lips. âThank goodness. I was worried there for a second.â Â
His crooked teeth poked through a smile. âI could tell.âÂ
You softly pushed him before taking his hands again. âShut up. You went hours without responding and just show up at the end of my shift. God forbid Iâm concerned for my husband.âÂ
âSee, man, I told you sheâd do this,â Jack grumbled, patting Andrew slightly on the shoulder.Â
âUm, not to interrupt, but did Dr. Cody marry someone who looks exactly like Dr. Abbot?â Dennis squeaked out a question, obviously trying not to step over a boundary.Â
But like a sister, Trinity nudged him harshly with her elbow. âUse your brain, Huckleberry. Itâs obvious theyâre related somehow.âÂ
The two continued looking between the Pittâs night shift attending and your husband who looked like Jack if he were ten years younger.Â
âThatâs what I was trying to tell you early, Trinity,â you said. âMy husband is Jackâs cousin on their moms's side. Andrew, this is Dennis and Trinity.âÂ
Andrew didnât reach out to give them a handshake, but the appreciated nod he gave them was somehow enough. âShe talks about you two a lot.âÂ
Trinity looked smug by the news. âAll good things I hope.âÂ
âDefinitely,â he answered. âI can tell she likes working with you two.âÂ
âWhich is more than he can say about Robby,â Dana muttered.Â
The change in Andrew, just by mentioning Robby, was so visceral that Trinity and Dennis were both shocked.Â
In the few moments, the two could see how soft this hunking-fridge-of-a-man was for you. They saw it in the way he was quick to hunch over slightly when you looked him over with worry. They noticed it in the way he held onto you when he reassured you that he was only there for her and not because he had gotten hurt. They noted the way his soft smile was only for you and not even for when his cousin jested with him.Â
Danaâs words from earlier rang in Trinityâs mind as she watched Andrewâs muscles tense beneath his polo.Â
Heâs like your personal guard dog.
Andrew shifted his weight, shoulders now seemingly broader than they had been. âDid something happen today?âÂ
Your bottom lip caught between your teeth. âIt was nothing. Heâs just being Robby.âÂ
Surprisingly, Andrewâs eyes flitted over to Trinity like he knew sheâd tell him exactly what he wanted to know. âWhatâd he do?âÂ
Trinity looked at you once, and when you looked toward the floor, she answered. âHe blamed her for a med studentâs slow pace. Practically yelled at and belittled her in front of the other doctors in the trauma room and the patientâs family.âÂ
Even Jack couldnât hold back the wince splashing across his face at the news, mind already knowing that in five seconds, his cousin might be on a war path for his friend. However, all Andrew seemed to do was take in a deep breath and hold onto your hands like a tether.Â
âAll right,â he finally said, body still tense. âOkay. Anything else I should know?â
âSomeone took her lunch,â Dana added, drawing your eyes from the floor to her, hues flooding with betrayal.Â
Et tu, brute?Â
âDana,â you hissed.Â
Andrewâs grip on your hands tightened.Â
In an almost attempt to throw more gas onto an already raging fire, Trinity ended with, âAnd she had a patient try to grope her earlier this morning.âÂ
Andrewâs eyes closed slowly like he was bracing for a fit of rage to overtake his senses, his mind already racing with the fact that you probably hadnât eaten, because when he stopped by the house to change, he saw your forgotten card. Add in you almost getting assaulted, and he was one wrongly pulled Jenga block from collapsing.Â
You closed your eyes and braced for impact, already feeling the brunt of the day push down on you. They only fluttered open when Andrew didnât move, his chest the only thing heaving in an out and in motion. Somehow, that didnât ease the queasy feeling bubbling beneath your skin. And at that moment, Robby decided to round the corner. Like most men, you guessed that he hadnât picked up on the tension cloud that was currently circling around the station andâmore importantlyâAndrewâs head.Â
When Robby walked into his field of view, you swear you saw the lovely hazel of his eyes darken. It should have scared you how quickly Andrew could go from your sweet and doting husband to a very possessive animal, but instead, the change had you relaxing and relieved. If there was someone you could count on for anything no matter what, that person would always be Andrew.Â
And maybe (finally) Robby sensed enough tension, because his body went stiff after he looked up from the tablet in his hands and met Andrewâs eyes.Â
Trinity and Dennis really thought that your husband was going to stalk over there, throw a punch, menacingly bark curse words and insults at Robby (a man who had a few good inches to tower over Andrew), and walk back over like nothing happened. But when he stayed put, only giving a beady stare that never wavered, they realized that he didnât even have to talk to Robby or punch him for his words to get across.Â
They knew that Andrew was making Robby uncomfortable by the way Robby shifted, the way he broke eye contact first, and the way he left the station looking like a dog with a tail between its legs. Â
Jack let out a low whistle. âDamn, that never gets old.âÂ
Dana smirked. âHe ever use that on you?âÂ
âAll the fucking time.â Jack scoffed. âDo you know how many family gatherings I spent trying to get away from those eyes.âÂ
âWe have the same eyes, asshole,â Andrew grumbled.Â
âBut yours are scary as hell,â Jack shot back. âMight be a good time to say that my night shift needs another resident.âÂ
âFuck no,â Trinity instantly said. âYou canât have her, or weâd be left with him.âÂ
Dennis nodded. âIâm in full agreement.âÂ
Jack looked over at you expectantly but visibly deflated at the apologetic look you were giving him.Â
âSorry, Jack, but I enjoy getting to spend my evenings at home.â You paused and smirked. âI know Samiraâs been looking for a change of scenery if you want to ask her.âÂ
The small crowd couldnât help but smile or chuckle at the now vivid flush across Jackâs face as he tried to sputter out an answer.Â
âAll right, get out of here kids before it looks like youâre staging a mutiny,â Dana said with a wave of her hands.Â
âAye, aye, captain,â Trinity responded with a salute of her own.Â
Andrew grinned widely, finally showing the smile around more people than just you. âIf weâre turning into pirates, Jack already has the missing-leg thing down.âÂ
âHey!âÂ
You giggled loudly while Andrew wrapped an arm around your shoulders, bringing you into his side. Your hand gently rested against his chest as you hugged him back. He felt your body melt into his after he pressed a quick kiss to your temple.Â
âReady to go home?â he quietly muttered just loud enough for you to hear. âDana already gave me your bag.âÂ
âYeah,â you breathily sighed. âLetâs go before a trauma comes in, and Iâm stuck in here until I wither away.Â
Andrew hummed. âWe canât have that now, can we?âÂ
âAbsolutely not. I still want to have leftovers at least one more time before Iâm buried. And this time, Iâm putting a padlock on the container.âÂ
Your friends warned you that fifth margarita wasnât a good idea. But drinks were flowing and if you hadnât taken it, you wouldâve been texting your ex tonight.
Now, texting your ex didnât seem so bad compared to being in a hospital with a swollen ass ankle. The strobing, white lights blinded you even when you closed your eyes. Meanwhile your friends couldnât stop laughing.
âAlright! I hear we got a twisted ankle.â
The curtain pulled back and the most handsome man youâve ever seen was revealed to you. Salt and pepper hair and the biceps that were basically bursting out his shirt. He had a very professional look on his face that made him even hotter.
âSuper twisted.â You slurred, still holding intense eye contact. Your friends were giggling even harder now. One of them even said,
âYou got the hot doctor! No fair!â Jack smirked, he dealt with drunk girls all the time, nothing new.
âAlright, well, Iâm dr. Abbot,â he gently shook your hand. âIâm gonna take a look at your ankle now. Could you tell me how you injured it?â He asked softly.
You were melting like butter. Alcohol mixed with butterflies wasnât a good combination.
âMmmh. Between the margaritas and my heels⊠I was dooooomed from the start.â Jack chuckled as he kept prodding around your foot. âOuch!â You hissed, trying to retract your leg from his grasp. It didnât work, though, he kept you in place with ease.
âGood news. No fractures or breaks. But you definitely need to ice it and Iâll wrap it up for you, alright?â You nodded, holding eye contact until he pulled away.
You got your foot wrapped up by a doctor Shen and opted to spend the night here so you could sober up a little. By morning, you and your friends (who desperately needed water and ivs) were getting ready to leave.
Your attraction to Jack didnât go unnoticed by⊠anyone really. You were trying to play it cool though. While you filled out some release forms, you snatched a sticky note from a pad that was lying around and jotted down your number.
You didnât see Dr. Abbot anywhere around, so you waited by the front until he popped up. âDr. Abbot!â You called out, starting to hobble towards him.
Like a gentleman, he met you halfway so you didnât accidentally fall on your face. âYou on your way, sweetheart?â The nickname had you ready to twist your other ankle.
âI just wanted to give you this. A thank you for taking care of me.â You pressed the sticky noted into his larger hand. He smelt so good, like some kind of manly cologne you knew nothing about, but wanted to learn quick.
âOh, your phone number. Didnât know you felt that way.â You nodded shyly.
âCall me sometime.â You smiled. âBye, Dr. Abbot.â You turned on your good heel to walk away, feeling very confident in what you just did.
Robby popped up behind Jack. âYou always attract the youngers one, brother.â
Jack barked out a laugh. âThey attract me too. Especially that one.â He said, pocketing your number.

You tip your head back, mind swimming pleasantly from the tequila shots you definitely didn't buy, bass thumping in your chest. The crown of your hair brushes someone's chest while their arms wind around your waist, pushing their hips into your ass. You bite back a smile but don't bother turning around. They can remain a faceless extra. They're not why you're here.
With your eyes shut, you can almost forget that you're alone in this club in your tightest, shortest mini dress. Begging for attention, you can practically hear Andrew's voice in your ear. It only spurs you on. Your arm reaches behind you to anchor on the back of your mystery man's neck for balance. These stilettos aren't doing your alcohol induced lack of coordination any favors.
It's been three months since Andrew broke up with you, practically out of nowhere. No, that's not true. Smurf had learned of your existence and pressured him into inviting you over for dinner. At first, you'd been happy. He'd kept you so separate from them that you were starting to get a complex that he was ashamed of you in some way. Maybe you were too young, not pretty enough, not edgy enough...
But once you got there and saw the shark-like grin, the dead eyed stare-- you knew. He was protecting you. Sure, you'd heard some stories about her, Baz, Julia. But nothing could've prepared you for being there in the flesh.
So beautiful, she'd practically purred. I can see why he hid you from his brothers.
But it didn't feel like a compliment. It felt like a thinly veiled threat.
After that night, he was harder to reach. Missing calls where before he'd only let it ring once before answering. Taking hours to text back. Suddenly getting busy. You were no stranger to getting blown off. It didn't make the ache in your chest hurt any less though.
No one had been devoted to you like Andrew had. So reliable. So protective. You knew he'd die for you, kill for you-- though you'd never ask him to. But now he couldn't even fucking talk to you.
Just... over it, he'd said. Like you were a trend that had passed. A hobby he'd grown bored of. Maybe you would have put up a fight if his expression hadn't been as frigid as the Pacific in January. How could you argue with him when he looked through you like some sort of stranger? The love that used to live there was gone. There was no convincing him otherwise.
Someone healthier would've coped. Gone to therapy or the gym or gotten a new haircut. But you? You were barely surviving when you met Andrew. He was a fire hose in a drought and you were ready to drink him down until you drowned. And now? Now, you had to find other vices to fill your time.
Drinking, smoking, walking down alleys at night, following strange men's invitations to their apartments or bathrooms... anything to quiet the flayed nerves where your heart used to be.
It started out destructive. You truly didn't care if any given night was your last. Maybe a part of you knew. Certainly, a part of you hoped.
The man behind you puts his chapped lips on your neck, sloppily licking the sweat kissed skin behind your ear. You tense, enjoying this much less than the dancing. You go to step forward, but his fingers dig into your hip, bordering on painful.
"Just relax," he whispers in your ear. His breath smells like stale beer and cigarettes. This isn't fun anymore.
Before there's a chance for your body to feel the fear that should be coming, cool air hits your back from his absence. Your hair gently billows around your cheeks from the force of it. A quiet knowing joins the warmth of liquor in your veins. Finally. You turn to meet the hazel eyes you look for in every room.
The guy has already fucked off, probably long gone after having the shit scared out of him by whatever Andrew said. Except, it's not Andrew, is it? No, the scowl he wears and heave of his shoulders tell you that he's Pope tonight.
You haven't seen Andrew for a while.
He says nothing. Just glares at you the same way he's been doing since you got to the club. At this point, you're used to the feeling of his eyes on you. It's comforting, even. But you prefer it up close, when you can distinguish the specks of green from the swirls of gold in his irises.
Without a word, you head for the door and slip out onto the quiet street. The music behind you gets quieter with every step, punctuated only by the echo of your heels. It must be after midnight, given how dead the surrounding area is. You wouldn't know. You let your phone die hours ago.
Goosebumps rise on your bare arms from the ocean breeze. The weight of his jacket settles over you and you greedily inhale his scent from it, absorbing his warmth. When it's late and you're drunk, you can almost pretend you're still together. Can almost convince yourself that he follows you because he still loves you and not just because he feels guilty.
He doesn't walk beside you. He never does, opting to trail a few feet away as he follows you. Either way, no one fucks with you the whole walk home. You don't need to worry when he's around. He's made sure of it.
When you get to your front door, you hand him his jacket and fumble with the keys in your hand.
"Want to come in?" You always offer. Maybe one day he'll be weak enough to accept.
"You can't keep doing this," he grits out, jaw tense. Sharp enough to cut glass.
"Doing what?" You ask with the doe eyes you know he can't resist. He roughly exhales and looks away. "See you tomorrow. Pope."
He flinches at the use of his nickname but stays on your front porch until he hears the deadbolt click. A cigarette between his teeth, he stands under the moon and wonders how much longer you'll torture him like this. He hates himself for knowing he'd let you forever.
a date with Jack, your tinder date, when you're definitely just going to be in Pittsburgh for a few days

Youâre only supposed to be in town for a week. Clean out the house from that relative you never even met, hopefully sell some of it, and be on your way.
Pittsburgh isnât really like what youâre used to, and itâs lonely since youâre working alone in the house all day, boxing things up and posting things on marketplace and making runs to the thrift store.
You open up tinder, you were always going to, and change your settings to short term fun and swipe right on the ones who look nice.
And hot.
Jack, 50, has a selfie that is endearingly awkward and a photo of himself in uniform that is unreasonably hot and a photo of himself in profile on some rooftop, a sunrise behind him and some buildings that you think you recognize from the city skyline.
He texts you back at weird times, and has a crazy schedule, but he asks to take you out to drinks in the early afternoon. He knows a place.
You spot him as soon as you walk in the bar, itâs empty enough since itâs four pm, and he looks over and you can watch his eyes drag up and down your body, lingering for just a moment too long for any real propriety, and then he smirks.Â
âHi,â he says as he rises to his feet, and offers you a hand to shake, and you go in for a hug instead because a handshake is too impersonal and professional for a guy that youâre hoping to invite back to your bed in an hour or two.
You both order weak drinks, and chat about tv and college towns and the drinking games youâd played, and when your ice is melty and youâre just stirring it with a straw, you look down at it when you ask if he wants to leave with you.
âHell yeah,â he replies and reaches a hand out to squeeze the top of your thigh. âLet me get the tabââ
âI can get it.â
He scoffs and pulls out two crisp twenties from his billfold, and the worst part is that it requires him to take his hand away from your leg. âA pretty girl like you? No way.â
Youâre only a few blocks away, and you suggest a walk but sighs and looks down at his leg. âMind if I drive us?â
His profile had that bit of infoâ a photo of himself in shorts, arm slung around some mostly-cropped-out buddy, with a carbon fiber prosthesis ending in a hiking boot.Â
Getting into a strangerâs car is dumb as hell but you donât want to be anywhere else so you slide into his passenger seat. Itâs a tall Jeep, more beat up than you would have guessed, and you look around at the fairly bare-bones interior.
âI head out to the mountains on my nights off. You could come too,â he offers as he drives.
Youâre not staying, though, so you shrug even though the idea of the two of you on a blanket under the bright stars is too sweet to think about too hard.
Jack parallel parks outside the house smoothly, and it shouldnât be hot but it is, and before he even gets out he turns to you and reaches over to put his hand on your chin and pull you in. âStill want me to come in?â He asks, a whisper away. âI can just drop you off.â
You shake your head back and forth desperately. âKiss me.â
He does, his other hand sliding around to your ribs to keep you in place. With the console and the molded seats itâs awkward, but he groans against your lips and you couldnât care less where you are, couldnât care less about the seatbelt buckle digging into your thigh. When his grip moves forward towards your bra you sigh and pull back.
âSorry-â he says quickly, his eyes dark as he looks at you. You canât see a speck of apology on his face, just pure lust.
âNo, no, I wantâ just. Thereâs a perfectly good bed like. Thirty feet away. Think you can make it that far?â
Jack nods slowly, thinking, and then surges forward to kiss you again, and you eagerly open your lips for him even though youâd just suggested getting a move on.
âSorry,â he says, his fingers skimming over his lips as he looks at you when he tears himself away. âJust to tide myself over.â
You feel your legs clench together at that, a heat going all the way down your core at the idea that he needed more before just the quick walk in, and you have to force your shaking hands to reach out for the door handle.
âCâmon.â
He gets one arm around your waist as you walk up to the door and fumble with your keys, and you drop your bag on the floor inside.
âCan I-â Jack asks, and you donât even know what heâs asking you just reply yes.
âč âč
You cling to Jack in a post-orgasm haze as the room dims with the sun going down.
âI have to get going,â Jack murmurs with regret as he rubs his thumb over your upper arm. âIâve got work.â
âNow?â You pout at him.
He nods solemnly. âNight shift. But I canââ
âAre you free tomorrow?â
âYeah, sweetheart.â He looks around at the room youâre inâ probably a guest room, itâs got a queen bed and piles of things youâd halfway sorted through. Youâd navigated through the living room, with its stacked up boxes and furniture, so itâs not like you could have really hidden the state of this house, of your life. âI can come by and help with⊠whatever youâve got going on here, too.â
âYou donât have to-â
âI want to.â He smiles at you as he pushes himself up to a seat and reaches over to the makeshift nightstandâ stacked milk cratesâ where heâd leaned his prosthesis. âYouâre cleaning out the house, looks like?â
âYeah. I inherited it. New in town, like I said.â
âThis place will look good with a coat of paint, you know. I can help fix it up, too.â
You find yourself nodding. You can stand to start working here, stand to be the kind of person who meets Jack at bars in the early afternoons and drives out to the mountains to look at the stars on clear nights.
âYou could come back when youâre done tonight,â you offer softly as you sit up as well. And then heâs right there so you might as well and you kiss him again.Â
His hand is cupped around the back of your neck when he breaks away, breathing hard. âItâll be early.â
âI can be up. You can come crash here.â Itâs a stupid offerâ heâs about to go work for hours, he should definitely go back to his own placeâ and you open your mouth to retract the idea.
âSure. Say⊠seven thirty? I can pick up breakfast.â
You nod as he gets up and starts searching for his clothes. He grumbles that heâll just have to change again at the hospital, out of these tight jeans and henley that heâd worn for the date and into scrubs, but youâre just enjoying the show as he bends over to pick up his shirt and you get a look at his ass again.Â
âIâll see you,â he says, and leans down to kiss you good-bye. Still naked, covered just by a sheet, you lean up to peck his lips gently in a way that doesnât feel casual at all.

Authorâs Note: my fourth of july fic is here !! so excited to introduce yaâll to gossip jack !! i hope you guys enjoy !! <3
Jack Abbot is a lot of things; strong, intelligent, well-liked, level-headed, quick to react, reliable and good at his job. If you knew him well enough youâd find heâs pretty funny despite his dry sense of humor, very down to earth and has quite the sweet tooth. One thing you absolutely wouldnât expect by just looking at him was his love for gossip.
With his sharp jawline and casually neutral faceâgrumpy in a way that was unfairly handsomeâchin donned with grey stubble and hair to match. Sharp eyes that noticed everything. Heâs an ex-army man with a night shift attending badge clipped to his pants pocket who only drinks his coffee blackâhe survived losing half his leg, and yetâJack enjoyed using all of that to his advantage.
Any newcomer at the Pitt was quickly intimidated by himâalmost choked to death anytime Robby or Dana, hell; even if Shen or Ellis picked on him or called him old. Desperately looking for a patient to tend to before they saw one of their coworkers die or get scolded. But it never came, just a small twitch at the corner of his lips that was quickly so uniquely Jack.
So no, looking at Jack youâd assume he probably kept to himselfâand for the most part he did. But once you got to know him a little? It wouldnât be long before the truth came out;
Jack Abbot is a big fat gossip.
He never started the conversations, heâd wait until someone else did and justâŠeffortlessly slide himself right into them. But you could always tell when heâd heard something new.
Like now, as youâre walking in next to him for your shift; heâs practically vibrating. An extra bounce in his step, his hands closing and unclasping at his sides. Heâs shifting on his feet way more than he usually does; and he keeps crossing and uncrossing his arms.
You try your best to keep your eyes on the boardâan ever growing list of patients above you. You try to ignore him, try to start your shift and at least make an attempt to head towards your first patient; but when he leans against the counter with a rather obnoxious exhale through his nose and scratches at his scruffâyou finally break.
âAlright Gossip Girl, what is it?â, You ask, crossing your own arms and lifting a brow.
Jack practically shoots off the counter, straightening up and stepping closer to you. He looks around once before speaking.
âRobby and Noelle are hooking up.â
He says it with both brows raised and eyes so wide you swear theyâd pop out at any second.
Your mouth falls open before you can stop it; âSHUT UPââ
Eyes from every direction flick towards you, your reaction a little louder than you wanted it to be.
âJesus kid-â, Jack shushes you quietly; nervously looking around before he gently pulls you into the empty break room.
His hand is still on your elbow when you speak up. You force the acknowledgement at the way your skin burns perfectly at his touch to the back of your mind; store it away for later.
âRobby and Noelle!?â
He nods; âMhm.â
âHow?? When?? Robby??â, All your questions tumble out at once.
Jack shrugs, slipping his hands in his scrub pockets; âDonât know for sure, long enough that it set McKayâs alarm bells off.â
ââŠOh this is too goodâ, You say, eyes focused on the floor as you comb through every thought thatâs now popping into your head.
âIt gets betterâ, Jack says, leaning closer; âDana said Noelle told her Robby sleeps with the tv on.â
Your mouth opens. Closes. Then opens again. The smug smirk on Jackâs face does nothing to help you. Neither does the scrunch of your nose when you realize what youâre really hearing.
âThatâs way more than I needed to know about Robbyâ, You say.
Jack grunts something close to a laugh; âYouâd be surprised.â
âWaitâ, You tilt your head; âWouldnât you already know that about him?â
Jackâs smirk deepens; âWell yeah, butâ, He leans even closer; âHow would she know that?â
The information hits you again, your brain swirling at a speed thatâs too fast for before coffee.
âOh my godâ, You breathe.
Jack laughs across from you, actually laughs. You force yourself to ignore what that does to your heart.
âI donât think I can even look at him nowâ, You say, âIâd laugh in his face, itâs too good. Iâd-â
Jackâs hand on your shoulder stops you; âWoah, kid. Donât go spiraling on me now.â
âIâm notâŠitâs just so?-â
âStrange? Weird? Bordering on haunting?â
âWell, yeah!â, You say, hands flying in the air.
Jack laughs again, you ignore what it does to your heart; again.
âCareful kidâ, He says, leaning in way too close; âGotta work on your poker face or I wonât be able to share with my favorite resident.â
Favorite resident.
Your heart does a somersault and the air leaves your lungs; heat rising to your cheeks.
His hand on your lower back lingers for a moment before he pulls away, leaving your skin cold and missing the contact.
âCmon, gotta get back out there before Dana threatens to put us all in triageâ, He says, that crooked smirk playing at his lips.
It stays there as you watch him push the break room door open with his shoulder, disappearing back into the noisy hum of the ED; leaving you standing there with your mouth parted and your heart beating way too fast to be close to normal.
Three hours and too many patient charts later, you finally get a moment to sit down and let your feet rest. You take a drink of your water, crack your back once and lean back in your chair; letting your eyes close and hoping you get at least a few minutes.
That dream is quickly wrecked within seconds.
You feel him before you see him, not even having to open your eyes to know whoâs standing next to youâthe shadow of his strong frame blocking out the blaring fluorescent lights above you. The heat you can always feel radiating off of him. Warmth you so desperately want to sink into, wrap your arms around him and nose into his neck. You briefly wonder if his cologne would smell stronger against his skin like that, or if thereâd be something youâd learn to be so uniquely and purely him.
You sigh, snapping yourself out of it. Eyes still closed as you cling to the last remaining bit of peace youâll get before he speaks and resumes his mission to annoy you as much as he can. Not that you mind in the least bit.
âWhat Jack?â, You breathe, fighting the smile thatâs trying so hard to creep onto your lips.
âHowâd you know it was me?â, You can hear the smirk in his voice.
âYou reek of antiseptic and annoyance.â
A noise escapes him next to you, something between a laugh and a sound of disbelief.
âOh so you know what I specifically smell like?â, He juts.
You feel your face heat up immediately, air leaving your nose. You fumble to keep yourself composed, a string of muttered words leaving your mouth.
You peek your eyes open, peering up at a way too smug Jack. Enjoying how flustered heâs made you. His strong arms crossed over his chest; biceps bulging under his too tight scrub top. Freckles decorating his skin all the way up his arms; grey curls looking unfairly good and framing his face in a way that should be illegalâ
âWhat do you want, Jack?â, You feign annoyance.
âWhat makes you think I want something?â, His answer comes from pursed lips.
âYouâre hovering.â
âIâm standing.â
âYou have a look on your faceâ, You throw back.
âMy face always looks like this.â
âUnfortunately.â
âHeyââ, His mouth opens, but you cut him off.
âJack.â
âHm?â
âWhatâ, you sigh; âDo you want?â
His mouth is crooked in the way it gets when heâs trying to hide a smile or the fact that heâs amused; but it always gives him away. You know that look and all of his looks too well by now. Unconsciously memorized and stored away for later with all the other information youâve filed away about him. Normal, completely casual.
It certainly has absolutely nothing to do with whatever feelings flutter to life inside your chest and set your very being alight each time you seem him. That certainly wasnât the case, even now; when heâs standing so close you can smell his cologne and something underneath it thatâs just uniquely Jackâ
You snap yourself out of it before the heat climbing up your neck once again can reach your face. Forcing yourself to stay calmâsteady.
Jack, who hasnât moved from where heâs standing; that ridiculously and frustratingly adorable crooked smirk still on his faceâtakes a step closer to you.
âDid you know Shen has a secret supply of free drink vouchers from Dunkin?â, Jack says.
You roll your eyes; âDid you know you and Robby have matching tattoos?â
Jack falters for a moment, mouth falling open before heat pinkens the tips of his ears; âWe do not!â
You shoot him a smirk, grabbing your drink and rising to your feet to walk around him. Heâs following you half a stride later.
âW-Where did you even hear that?â, He gawks.
You shrug; âIâve got my own sources.â
A second later heâs in front of you, arms up in defense as he shakes his head; eyes closing for a moment; âWoah. WoahâIâok, youâre screwing with me, arenât you?â
âHowâs it feel?â, You muse.
You watch as his tongue peeks out to lick his bottom lip, a crooked twitch of his mouth as he rubs at the back of his neck; âYouâre mean, kid.â
âAnd youâre a gossipâ, You shoot back.
Jack pushes his hands into his pockets; âI might be.â
You canât help rolling your eyes again; âWhy would you even care if Shenâs was true? You hate Dunkin.â
âIâm noseyâ, He shrugs.
âYouâre something.â
But that only makes Jackâs smirk grow wider, twitching again in the way that sets your heart ablaze. God, he was gonna be the death of you.
A few weeks later, youâre strolling into the hustle and bustle of the ED for another shift. Bracing yourself for the incoming influx of patients from the holiday. The Fourth of July was always busy with firework accidents and heat strokeâamong other injuries you didnât even want to ask about.
You hoped it would at least be relatively smoothâclose enough to a regular shift; that unfortunately would soon become the furthest from the truth.
You slid up next to Robby with a few patients, following Danaâs directions; having opted to come in a little early to help out day shift. The ED was already busy, already bustling with patients of all different kinds. McKay had a firework injury, Santos had a nun with gonorrhea in her eye that she deemed an âimmaculate infection.â Donnie had a priaprism, Mel and Langdon had set up a cool room and Javadi was helping a girl with glue in her eye. Not to mention the fact that a baby had been found in triage and was now being lovingly referred to as baby Jane Doe. Never a dull moment.
As if the shift couldnât get any crazierâan hour later the ambulance bay doors opened and who came rushing through with a gurney but Jack Abbot. A Jack Abbot in uniform, nonetheless.
Camo fatigues hugged his body close, sweat already peaking through the fabric. Damp hair matched as he called out to Robby. SWAT team rushing in behind him. You canât help but stare.
âIntubated neck wound, stats not great. Is there a trauma room open?â, Jack calls out.
Youâre quick to snap yourself out of itâjoining him at the other side of the gurney, rushing along side him; âWhatâs the story?â
âMy buddy Hiro, neck trauma. Warehouse robbery gone wrongâ, Jack fills you in.
He doesnât say much after that, setting up immediately once inside the trauma room. You can see heâs tense by his shoulders and jawâworried for his friend. You jump into the chaos, helping any way you can.
âDid you intubate?â, Trinity asks, working alongside you.
âYeahâ, Jack says, not looking up; âUnder active fire.â
You donât miss the way he looks back over his shoulder, eyes flicking down as if looking for something that isnât yet visibleâor the way he winces when he rolls his shoulders.
âThatâs badassâ, Santos says, smiling to herself as she assists Robby.
You on the other hand; only have worry clinging to the back of your neckâhairs standing on end as you look at Jack.
It doesnât take long for all the hands working on Hiro to get him stabilized enough to send him up to surgery. The room clears out, leaving Jack and Robby the last two lingering inside. Youâre pulled into another case before you can get to Jack, forcing your worry down for later.
When you finally get a moment, Jack is nowhere to be found. The ED settling back into its regular busy hustle before SWAT had rolled in. You pick up another chart, going to check on one of your patients. What you find however when you pull the curtain back isnât a patientâbut rather the man youâve been looking for the past few hours.
Jack Abbot stands shirtless, back to you with a very visible bruise forming on the back of his left shoulder. He turns at the sound of the curtain being pulled back, glancing around the room.
âOh! Iâsorry!â, You blurt out, cheeks heating up; âI was looking for my patient.â
Jack continues moving, sitting down on the exam bedâsliding the tray of sterilized tools heâd already set up towards him. He sets his black tee down on his lap, maneuvering the supplies.
âNo patient hereâ, He says; âRoom was empty when I got here.â
You furrow your brows, but push the thought to the back of your mind. All you can focus on is Jackâthe injured Jack sitting in front of you.
âShit, Jackâ, You say, mind rushing back to the present; âYouâre hurt, what happened?â
Youâre already reaching for the glove dispenser on the wall, making your way around him as he reaches for his back with a swabâfailing to reach far enough.
âBullet grazed my vestâ, He says, waving a hand.
âYou got SHOT?â, You blurt.
âShot atâ, He says, brows raised with a shrug; âAnyways, Iâll be fine. Donât worry about me.â
But you do worry about him; more than he knows.
You ignore his words, taking the swab from his outstretched hand and gently clean the wound on his shoulder.
âThank youâ, He sighs, voice going soft.
You canât help the smile that breaks onto your lips, soft and gentle just for him; âAnytime.â
Knowing heâs ok and safe, your mind drifts nowâfocusing more on the fact that heâs sitting shirtless in front of you. Thick and strong body built and freckled; just enough healthy fat around his mid-section that it settles over his belt when he sits down. Broad shoulders that stretch each scrub top he owns. You want to explore them, connect all the freckles that etch his skinâpress kisses to the paleness of him.
You feel yourself bite your bottom lip, willing the heat returning to your cheeks to climb back down. To act normal.
âYou ok?â, Jack asks, noticing your quietness.
âYup, perfectâ, You say.
You donât see his quirked brow, and whatever heâs thinkingâhe keeps to himself. Shuffling to grab his t-shirt off his lap when you finish patching him up.
âThanks for keeping this off the booksâ, He says, offering you a crooked smirk.
You nod, bottom lip still between your teeth; âSure.â
He eyes you suspiciously when you donât move, even after his shirt is pulled back on; âYou sure youâre ok, kid?â
âYeah!â, You answer to quickly; âI better go see if Dana needs anything, uhâŠIâll see you later? For your shift?â
Jack huffs a laugh; âYeah, see you there crawler.â
With that you spin on your feet, rushing out of the room; leaving a smiling and curious Jack behind.
You find yourself at the hub, hiding your face in your handsâelbows resting against the top of the counter.
âWhatâs got you so flustered?â, Santos asks, looking up from her charting beside you.
You groan; âI donât even know if I can say.â
Princess perks up on the other side of you; âOk, now we need to know.â
You groan again, looking around you once to make sure no one else can hear. Thankfully spotting Jack leaving through the ambulance bay doors.
Santos follows your line of sight; âSomething happen with Dr. Abbot?â
You push your face back into your hands; âGod. What didnât happen.â
Both of them eye you with quirked brows.
âI saw himâŠshirtlessâ, You mumble.
Princessâ face lights up; âOh you lucky girl!â
âAnd?â, Santos asks.
You canât help but groan again; âHeâs unfairly hot. Like, so built and fit it should be illegal. He has no business looking that good in an ER.â
The women next to you exchange glances, before bursting out into laughter beside you.
âSounds like someone has a crush on Dr. Abbotâ, Santos says.
âWho doesnât?â, You quip back, like itâs common knowledge and not about you.
Princess sighs on the other side of you.
âHeâs like the McDreamy of the PittâŠor the Clooneyâ, She sighs.
âHeâs better than McDreamy and Clooney, heâs likeâŠMcClooney.â
Laughter erupts around you again.
âSo you and Abbot, huh?â, Santos asks.
âGod, I donât know. I mean weâre friends yeah, but I donât think he even knows how I feel. Or that heâd even feel the sameâ, You sigh.
âI donât know, Iâve seen him look at you. Seems like somethingâs thereâ, Princess says; âYou should talk to him.â
Your face heats up way too fast; âI canât do that! Are you crazy?â
Princess shrugs; âYou never know what heâll say.â
You sigh, nodding. You know sheâs right, but you canât push past the nerves or the fear that you might ruin a friendship you deeply value.
âHeâs gone for a few hours anyways, I just need to get back to workâ, You say, reaching for a new iPad.
You turn on your feet with another sigh.
âGo get your McClooney!â, Princess calls out behind you, making you shush her.
You shrink under all the glances your way, hurrying along to find Dana and focus on literally anything besides your feelings towards Jack.
Itâs a few hours later when Jack strolls back into the ED, camo backpack slung over one shoulder. Patients still bustle around him; Robbyâs still forcing himself to work longer.
The hub is buzzing with a few staff; Princess, Santos, Nazely, Dana and Perlah all huddled together. Jack heads towards the staff room, but he stops when he hears your name.
âOh sheâs got it badâ, Santos says; âYou shouldâve seen her, she was absolutely flustered over seeing him shirtless. Poor girl canât hide her crush if she tried.â
Jack feels his heartbeat pick up.
âOur girlâs got it for Abbot, huh?â, Dana says, smiling to herself; âCanât believe I didnât see it.â
Jackâs heart stops at the mention of his nameâthen quickly picks back up. A smile spreads on his face before he can stop it, ducking and shaking his head as he pushes the door to the staff room open. He knew how he felt about you, but hearing you felt the same way towards him? His entire shift just got a whole lot better.
He keeps it to himself during handoffs, even during his beginning of shift speech as everyone gathers around him. His eyes flick to you once; standing between Cruz and Ellis. His smile doesnât falter, a warm feeling fluttering behind his ribs.
He lets you go about your shift, getting swept into a few cases of his own. Itâs nearing nine when he finally comes face to face with you; a much needed silence in the break room.
Heâs leaning up against the counter with a cup of coffee when you come in, stopping in your tracks when you see him.
âOh! Sorry, didnât know you were in hereâ, You say.
Jack scoffs a laugh; âWhat? You avoiding me now?â
âNoâ, You say, a little too quickly.
âGood.â
He watches you cross the room, opening the fridge and pulling out an energy drink. The noise of the can cracking open fills the room, a soft sigh escaping your lips as you lean up against the counter beside himâa little more space between you than usual.
Silence fills the air as you both drink, enjoying the few minutes of peace you might get before itâs interrupted. Jack, as if sensing your calmâdecides nowâs the time to get you all riled up.
âSoâ, He says, tracing the rim of his paper cup with his pointer finger; âI heard something interesting earlier.â
You scoff; âOf course you did.â
âWhatâs that supposed to mean?â, He asks, brow quirked and faking offense.
âJackâ, You say; âDo you really want me to answer that?â
âNoâ, He shrugs, smiling to himself as he sets his cup on the counter behind him.
You shake your head, doing the same with your can; âLay it on me, Abbot.â
Jack juts his chin out, scratching at his scruff.
âI heardâŠsomeone that works here has a crush on meâ, He says.
You feel your stomach drop, embarrassment rushing to your cheeks and ears.
âSomething about âunfairly hot, so built it should be illegalââ, He says; ââHotter than McDreamy and Clooney?ââ
âJack I-â, You try to rush something out, but no words come out.
Your brain has shut down. You blink away the tears brimming your eyes.
But Jack just takes a step towards you, hands settling on your arms. His thumbs rub up and down, digging softly into your scrubs.
Then he hooks a finger under your chin, guiding you to look up at him. What he finds is a look he can only describe as guilty.
âHeyâ, He says softly, ducking his head down to meet your eyeline.
âIâm sorry, Jackâ, You rush out; âItâs highly inappropriate and I shouldnât have said anything. I donât want to make you uncomfortable, we can just forget this ever happened and go back to being friends. If you even still want to be my friend. Iâm so sorryââ
âNoâ, Jack says.
You freeze; âWhat?â
âI donât think I can do thatâ, He says softly.
âIâm so sorry JackâŠâ, You mutter, fearing the worst.
âIâm not.â
You look up at him fully then, finding him gazing back at you fondlyâa soft crooked twitch of his lips taking over his face.
âYouâre notâŠ?â
âNoâ, He says; âNot when itâs you.â
Your breath catches.
âSweetheart, Iâve felt the same way about you for so long.â
Your mouth falls open. This time you canât will it to shut again.
âGod, you drive me crazy, kid. Itâs always been youâ, He confesses, voice soft and deep.
Your chest is heaving by now, mouth dry and eyes wide.
But then you smile; âItâs always been you too, Jack. For so long.â
His smile widens to match yours; âCmere.â
He pulls you in close, wrapping his strong arms around you. He doesnât kiss you yet, not here; he doesnât want the first time to be in the ED. Not when you deserve a real date, to be treated right.
He lets his lips ghost over your hair, pressing softly once against your crown. He rubs his hand up and down your back, before laying his cheek against your hair.
When he pulls away, his thumbs rest softly on your hips; digging in just enough to let you know heâs still there. His smile hasnât wavered, if anything itâs only grown fonder.
âSo weâre ok?â, You finally ask.
Jack laughs softly; âMore than ok, kid.â
Quiet settles between you both again, comfortable and warm as you take each other in with new awareness on both sides. Then Jack shifts once; pushing himself off the counter.
âCâmonâ, He says, pulling you with him.
âWhere?â, You ask.
âThe roofâ, He tells you; âGonna watch the fireworks. I know how much you like them.â
You feel your heart melt with fondness, before the lingering concern for him creeps up behind it.
âJackâ, You say softly, stopping him; âItâs ok, we donât have to. I donât want you to be uncomfortable.â
âIâm notâ, He says, offering you a smile and a small squeeze of his hand; âI want to watch them, with you.â
So you follow him up the stairs to the roof, heart pounding loud enough to echoâletting him guide you with a steady hand on your lower back.
Most of the dayshift is already up there, gathered towards the railing of the roof. Jack finds a spot just in front of the doorway, leaning up against the brick wall. Away from the crowd and somehow seeming a little more private.
You settle in next to him, closer than you were in the break room. The first few fireworks go off, and for the first time; Jack doesnât flinch. By the tenth, he reaches quietly for your hand; interlacing his fingers with your own.
Not out of fear or bad memories, just grounding himself. That makes you fold; you let your head drift down softly to rest against his shoulderâwatching the sparkles of blues and reds paint the sky above you.
Jack brushes his lips briefly against your hair again, pressing once before he turns his head backâsqueezing your hand softly. You stay like that; cuddled up against him in the back of the day shift crowdâa new, stronger feeling blossoming between you. Sweetly intimate and warm. Something existing just for the two of you.
âHappy fourth, Jackâ, You hum, pressing your lips to his shoulder.
He squeezes your hand again, looking back at you as a sparkle of blue illuminates his face; âYou too, sweetheart.â
Walking into Jack's stubborn ass trying to patch himself up was an... interesting way to start the morning.
A/N: My take on the 'if reader found Jack in the empty consultation room instead of Mohan' because it's such a good trope!! And finally something new that isn't from my drafts :)
Warnings: Reader is female, both her and Jack kind of hate each other (JUST KISS ALREADY), enemies-to-situationship, mentions of a bullet wound, inaccurate depictions of doctors (as I am not one), LOTS of bickering

If you had a nickel for every time Jack Abbot did something stupid, you'd have enough to pay off a mortgage.
The man is incapable of asking for help - despite participating in the most dangerous activities.
Instead of spending his fourth of July barbequing with a group of close friends and family (like a sane person), he decides to dodge bullets for fun - acting as a medic all the while.
When you heard the news that Abbot rushed into the E.D. hours before his shift, decked out in SWAT gear, another officer in tow - you weren't surprised.
More annoyed than anything.
It was bound to happen.
With the amount of shit the man throws himself into, it's more of a shock that a mishap occurred this late in his life.
Knowing Abbot, he's scurried off somewhere to lick his wounds in private, away from the concerned eyes of his peers.
And for once, the gossip mill in the Pitt has found itself useful. According to reliable sources (Princess and Perlah), Mohan's diabetes patient - who's trapped under a mountain of medical debt, and now unable to afford further treatment - has ran off without so much as a word.
Consultation Room 6.
Sounds like the perfect hiding spot.
"What's the damage?" You announce bluntly, slamming the door open as noisily as possible.
He jumps in surprise, shoulders touching his earlobes for a brief second.
But once he took in just who barged in, his silver brows furrow, wrinkles deepening.
"You." Jack spits, scoffing before returning his attention to the task at hand.
The task being: tending to a bullet graze with the gracefulness of a toddler eating spaghetti.
The graze rests on his back - a dark, burgundy splotch stretching across his left shoulder. It's obvious the scrape isn't deep, but the skin is clearly irritated, especially when Abbot is prodding it with a long cotton swab the way he is.
"Yeah. Me." You roll your eyes, shutting the door and the curtains with a huff. "How long are you gonna keep this up?"
Snatching the swab from his hands, you level him with a glare.
A glare he gladly meets with his own.
"Keep what up?"
"Quit being a smartass for once in your life."
"You first."
Veins bloom across your temples, grinding your molars unconsciously, a whirlwind of frustration coursing through your entire body.
"Look," you start gently (as gently as you can), "you clearly can't reach back there. So, why don't you just allow me to handle this, and shut the fuck up?"
The ending could use some work, but all things considered, it's the nicest thing you've said to him... ever.
A smirk worms it's way up to Jack's face, smugness oozing out of him like factory smoke.
"I've got it." Is his response, tugging the swab dangling from your fingers - only to find himself unable to retrieve it.
In the mere milliseconds Abbot raised his hand to grasp the swab, you tighten your hold on it, making your intentions very clear.
His jaw slackens, hazel eyes looking up at you with confusion.
Raising an eyebrow, you urge him to try once more.
Jack may be stupid, but not that stupid.
Now that you're the center of his focus, you continue, "As I was saying, let me handle this, and not a word of it will exit this room."
The night shift attending eyes you with suspicion, "You're bullshitting me, aren't you?"
"Abbot, do I look like I have the time or the energy to share such mundane things with colleagues?"
He hums in thought.
"I suppose not," another hum, "so is this a 'what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas' situation?"
An unamused expression decorates your features, "If that gets you to agree with me, then sure." You mutter, settling yourself behind him - preparing all the necessary equipment to treat his injury.
Jack lets out a snort at that, "No funny business back there, you hear?"
"Oh, you wish, old man."
"Me? You're the one begging on her hands and knees to play doctor."
His choice of words makes your imagination wander... to more unsanitary activities. But you are not allowing a stupid man fluster you, not today.
Lathering your latex glove with granudacyn gel, you slap it onto the dip of Jack's back before it has a chance to warm up.
He yelps in response, and it brings you utmost joy.
"Behave, or I'm punishing you again."
"I hate you," he shudders out. "Such a drama queen."
"Well, maybe have some decorum instead of being an HR nightmare."
Jack whips his head back to meet your gaze, "Rich coming from you. If anyone out there heard you talkin' about punishment and shit would send you straight to Gloria."
Snickering, you force him to straighten, pulling at his silver curls firmly.
"Gloria can't touch me. Even she knows this place is understaffed enough as it is, can't afford losing more staff when we're dropping like flies."
Voice wavering, Jack winces at his hair being yanked, "Wouldn't count on it, sweetheart."
"Don't call me that," you mutter, the tips of your ears warming at the pet name, "your flattery might get you somewhere with other women here, but it sure as hell won't work on me."
Sensing your sudden change in demeanour, Abbot puts on a sly grin, "You sure 'bout that?"
Grabbing a new cotton swab, you dip it into new, clean gel, and press it against the graze, "Absolutely."
The action elicits a groan out of the night shift attending, his sensitive skin rejecting the treatment, "Jesus Christ, woman. Give a guy some warning."
"Men who voluntarily put themselves in harm's way shouldn't expect warnings," you state plainly, still spreading the gel to the surrounding area of the graze.
Jack laughs like he knows something you don't.
"Is that what this is?" He asks rhetorically. "Your way of worrying about little old me?"
The question stuns you, causing your movements to cease.
Were you worried?
Surely not.
About Jack?
There was no way.
Worrying about a man that's mere existence infuriates every atom of your being makes zero sense.
But it makes you think - ponder, more like.
Why the hell were you so pushy about treating him? Normal people would hear the first refusal and tuck tail immediately - but not you.
Shaking your head - as if you could rattle everything back in place - you think logically.
The only reason you did this was because you knew it would piss Jack off.
Evidently, it did.
Mission accomplished.
Hell, even warranting his taunt with this much thought is much more than he deserves.
Placing a piece of gauze atop the graze, cementing the gel inside to be absorbed, you finish the job with little trouble (other than the man receiving the treatment).
"You have no idea what you're talking about," you mutter as you wipe the gel from his previous punishment away with his long-abandoned shirt, "crazy old man."
"What the- hey! I was gonna wear that!"
"Figured as much, which is why I used it."
Jack lets out a sardonic chuckle, finally reaching his limit, it seems. "You are so going to pay for that."
After returning all the medical equipment to their respective drawers, you move to leave, "That a threat or a promise?"
"Both."
