Nurse Smurf. Wasn’t always impatient, stern, closed off.
Fell for an “idiot with a death wish” (his words)
Idiot A broke his heart. Nurse raised the icy walls.
Enter Idiot B.
Nurse denies that he has emotions for so long that eventually he has to go to Doctor (his colleague and “boss” even though Nurse is more competent) to find out what’s wrong with him and whoops, he’s in love

Take a smurf at this!

Boxer/Nurse First Kiss, Part Three
“Shadow Spiders.” Boxer glances down at his arm, where a bandage is wrapped around his bicep. “And I almost…”
“You were halfway colorless by the time I got you back to the village,” Nurse explains. “You’re going to have a scar.”
“Huh, cool,” Boxer says offhandedly. “So… I overheard some stuff. While I was asleep.”
Nurse suddenly looks very nervous. “Oh?”
“Yeah, like someone was saying they were sorry, and begging me to wake up… but Greedy was also talking about how you weren’t eating.”
Nurse is silent, and Boxer furrows his brow. “You did remember to eat, didn’t you?”
“I might have… forgotten,” Nurse mumbles. “Amid the panic and scramble to keep you alive.” He lets out a halfhearted chuckle. “I haven’t slept in five days and haven’t eaten in four and I-“
“You haven’t slept?!” Boxer’s shout makes Nurse yelp and jerk backwards, toppling over. Boxer sits up, glaring. “And you call me the idiot! I can’t believe you!”
Nurse is upright again like a shot, glaring right back at him. “You are the idiot! You’re the one who let himself get bitten by a Shadow Spider!”
“I was trying to save you,” Boxer retorts. “I did save you!!”
“Save me?! I had to carry you back here like Baby!!”
“That’s even worse!!”
Squeezing his eyes shut, Nurse clenches his fists. “Shut up.”
“I will not, you carried me and worked your tail off to save my life and you couldn’t take the time to take care of yourself?!”
“Shut up.”
“No!! If you care about me, then you have to care about yourself too! You don’t get to disregard your health-“
“Shut up-“
“-in favor of my own-“
“Shut UP-“
“-just because you think I’m worth more than you or some stupid smurf like-“
Nurse kisses him.
It’s the only thing he can think of to get Boxer to stop talking, and it works.
Once he pulls back, his mouth forms a small, self-conscious smile. “I said,” he says, “shut up.”

Boxer/Nurse First Kiss, Part Two
Boxer thinks he’s being carried, with someone whispering reassurance in his ear, then he’s sinking into a white fog that feels like cotton. It’s comfortable and cool to the touch, and Boxer sleeps.
Nurse is arguing with someone from far away, but Boxer can’t seem to escape the cotton fog and find him, and sleeps again.
A muffled crash wakes him again, followed by more argument, and this time Boxer manages to wave the fog away, if only a tiny bit. It’s Nurse, shouting at Greedy, who’s holding a shattered soup bowl.
“You need to eat,” Greedy protests, and again it sounds distant.
“I need to see to my patient,” Nurse snaps, pointing a finger sharply at Boxer. “I’ll eat when he’s able to, and not before!!”
The fog grows thicker and Boxer sleeps once more.
“Wake up,” he hears. “Please.”
With a jolt, he realizes it’s Nurse who sounds so desperate- but it can’t be. That’s just the fog muffling the voice. There’s nothing that could ever make Nurse plead like that.
“I’m sorry,” the Smurf says softly, and now Boxer knows it isn’t Nurse, because Nurse doesn’t cry.
The next time Boxer wakes, it’s for the last time, and the fog fades away fully as he blinks. He’s in Nurse’s mushroom, in his bedroom. What’s he doing in Nurse’s bedroom?
A small noise beside him has him turning his head, and he sees Nurse occupying a short stool by the head of the bed, holding his face in his hands.
“Nurse?” Boxer asks, his throat feeling dry, and the healer’s head snaps up. Boxer flinches. “You look terrible,” he says without meaning to.
Nurse lets out an incredulous laugh. “Me? I look terr- Boxer, you almost died!!”
What.

Boxer/Nurse First Kiss, Part One
Boxer’s breath comes in short bursts as he races through the forest. He probably shouldn’t have mentioned Tuffy, given Nurse’s past relationship with him, but how was he supposed to know that the wound was still fresh?! He’s never been in any relationship before- and he has a feeling that if he doesn’t find Nurse and make it right, he won’t ever get that relationship.
Yeah, he admits it- he’s fallen for Nurse. He loves how the healer knows exactly what he’s doing, loves how he does everything he can and more to help Smurfs when they’re hurt or sick, and especially loves how his anger hides his worry. In a way, he’s exactly like Brainy.
Just less annoying.
Boxer finally slows down in a clearing and looks around. A few smurfs away is a hollow tree trunk, but apart from that it’s empty. “Nurse?” He calls out.
Hissss!!!
Oh. Not empty then.
The black-and-white striped spiders, both about half his size, emerge from the other side of the trunk and advance. He’s about to retreat, not wanting to risk injury before he finds his friend, but then-
“Help!”
Oh smurf.
Oh smurf.
Before he can think about it, Boxer is running forward, dodging one arachnid and delivering a punch to the other. “Nurse,” he yells. “I’m here!”
He yelps, narrowly avoiding a hairy leg, and hears, “be careful, you idiot!”
“Don’t worry,” he replies, tripping a spider, “I’ll be fine!” A pause for a punch. “You’ll be out of there in no smurf!”
He’s momentarily distracted by replying, and the next sensation he feels is a searing pain in his arm. He yells, whirling and punching with all he’s got. His vision starts to fade, and he seems to fall in slow-motion. The last thing he hears is Nurse’s cry of alarm.

Nurse’s View on Boxer Love
Nurse is absosmurfly NOT in love, and especially not with Boxer. As if!! He’s annoying, and never knows when to shut up, and has zero common sense. Just like Tuffy. Nurse ignores that Boxer is brave, and that he’s proud, and that he seems to visit Nurse every other day- if he didn’t know better, he’d say that Boxer liked him. So no, Nurse is NOT in love. At all.
.......
Boxer’s View on Nurse
Yes, Boxer admits it- he’s fallen for Nurse. He loves how the healer knows exactly what he’s doing, loves how he does everything he can and more to help Smurfs when they’re hurt or sick, and especially loves how his anger hides his worry. In a way, he’s exactly like Brainy.
