Maybe after a tough shift, Levi is too tired to do anything but sleep on the study table, so Nico finds a blanket, wraps it around him then gently kisses his boyfriend on the forehead before resuming his shift. Later on, Levi does the same thing when Nico’s had a tiring shift. Thoughts? Doable?
Very doable! My thoughts are that it’s adorable! I’m sorry it took so long to get to; I have several excuses, but I won’t bother with those. I think it’s a short and sweet fic that sort of took on a bit of a deeper idea. I hope you enjoy!
Nico Kim knew Levi Schmitt was in for a tiring day. He left for his shift in the middle of the night, doing his best not to wake Nico as he fumbled around in the dark, trying to get ready. While Nico had kept his eyes closed, Levi must have noticed the change in his breathing pattern, indicating his almost awake state.
“Hey, I’m so sorry. Go back to sleep. I’ll hopefully see you later.” Levi dropped a kiss to Nico’s forehead, causing him to smile, which served as Levi’s confirmation that he was indeed awake.
“Love you,” Nico mumbled.
“Love you too.” And then he was gone.
Even though part of their shifts overlapped that day, Nico didn’t get a chance to see Levi. Whenever one was free, the other was in a surgery or consultation. Nico liked it best when Levi’s rotations landed him in ortho, but, as a resident, he had to explore every specialty. He was in peds for now and while there had been pages for an ortho consult, it was never for one of Levi’s patients.
Thankfully, they kept a steady stream of texts going, letting each other know what they were up to since they couldn’t touch base in person.
Levi 😍👓🚑: Karev sent me to the ER because they had an influx of patients.
Levi 😍👓🚑: I’m on suture duty. I’m a resident now! Shouldn’t some poor interns have to do this?
