Your hands moved swiftly, every suture precise. Copley knew that despite handling a bunch of immortals. He needed someone trustworthy and reliable to patch up Andy when needed.
You were from the CIA as well. Someone who was able to get a medical degree before pursuing to be an agent. You quit however, almost the same time Copley did. You realized that saving lives was more suited for you than taking them or even threatening them.
Which brings you to your current situation. Being the personal medical doctor of the group he's leading. You're not needed as much, only when Andy gets wounded. And since she can't heal anymore, it was no doubt the two of you would get to know each other. She was skeptical at first for sure. But after an incident that proved your loyalty and trustworthiness, she slowly let herself go. Not completely, but it was still progress.
"You know, I could always give you anesthesia" Andy's clenched fists loosens after she opens her eyes to see you cut the thread off.
"I used to not be able to feel the pain so much."
"Things are different now, you know that" you reply packing the things and cleaning up the station. The old guard's eyes move to follow your actions.
You turn back to her after disposing your gloves and washing your hands. "You shouldn't be so careless anymore Andromache" you add moving to stand infront of her, who was still seated on the bed. Your hands tucked into your white coat.
"No promises" your eyes narrow. Her eyes flicker to your lips and it was then you realize how close you two were. Your cheeks flush, but you don't move to break apart, neither does she. The tension in the room builds, as the two of you move closer like magnets. Both of you watching each other, Andy's eyes on your lips wondering how they'd taste like.
It was odd. She never felt her heart beat so fast against her chest. Adrenaline was kicking and yet both your movements were slow, hesitant but both wanting the same thing so badly.
Your eyes flutter close anticipating something you've only ever dreamed about. You feel Andromache's lips hover over yours.
So close.
A knock on the opened door causes you two to jump apart. You turn around and Andy immediately jumps off the bed.
Nile stands there awkward and aware that she walked in on something. "Uh...if you're done here, Copley wants us in his office" Andromache clears her throat. You remain turned around busying yourself by fiddling with your medical tools. "Okay-c She turns to face your back. "Thanks y/n"
Having enough courage and finally being able to cool your burning face you turn to the two soldiers, "huh? Oh yeah! Sure! Anytime! See you guys" you stumble over your words, but manage to let out what needed to be let out.
"Why don’t you just as them out?" Andromache stares at Nile. Who in turn just shrugs at her.
You watch the two leave the room, and disappear into the hallway. You sit on your chair and put a hand on your chest. You feel your heartbeat rapidly. What the fuck.
