the call had come at almost ten p.m, a frantic thirty seconds where lana barely got out much except for ferris to meet her at the emergency vet. he'd been in bed, anxious for an early morning meeting he had spent the last three days preparing for. it was as if the whole world disappeared when it came down to the cats, though. she'd said she was bringing both, just to be safe, but luke was the one who was sick. by the time the automatic doors opened and ferris stepped into the fluorescent light of the vet hospital, his gaze landed solely on lana. "what happened? are they already in there? why aren't you with them?" his tone was more forceful than he wanted it to be, but he felt... too much. overwhelmed. he moved towards her swiftly, ignoring the other people in the waiting room and the receptionist that she was talking to.

"when was the last time someone cleaned this place out? i'm pretty sure we're walking through a health hazard right now."

it was strange, that the first thought that ferris had after he dropped his bags in the hotel room and spent twenty-five minutes or so wiping down almost every surface with antiseptic wipes and sprayed the bed with disinfectant was that he had to text lana. she entered his mind so casually, the thought of her smile flashing behind his eyes as his thumbs began to type.

FERRIS: I vaguely remembered you asking me to text you when I landed. FERRIS: Consider this me telling you I didn't die in a fiery plane crash.

closed starter for @dedicatedesire plot: your muse and ferris were competing for the same job opportunity and he won out, but only because a secret of theirs was outed by him (though it was done 'anonymously').

The pack of interns had once seemed a vicious thing, each of them determined to tear down the other, clawing their way with broken and bleeding fingers up an impossible mountain. In the aftermath of the announcement of who had been selected to go on, they now appeared more tightly wound together, tied through the apparent failure that most had experienced. All except for Ferris, who though he'd been brought into the shuffle of them by their boss and his general inability to read a room occasionally, felt the heat of their combined ire. The bar was fuller than he'd expected for a Thursday, not quite the upscale place he'd expected but something rougher. A place that expected him to loosen his tie, which he did after noting a few of his fellow interns doing so.

A beer in hand, he circled the room for the third time, finding he didn't quite know what to do with himself. The rush of winning was wearing off and holding himself together the way he was expected to at work in order to please the people above him — with a charm he wasn't sure he possessed in any natural sense — was beginning to become exhausting. When he spotted her at the bar, the beeline he made was probably a bad call, but he approached anyway, appearing beside her with his empty beer bottle which he placed down. "You haven't congratulated me." He said, meaning it to be some sort of joke, but it came off more awkward and cruel than he'd intended it to be.

"did you..." before the question even left ferris' mouth, he was shooting daggers across the room at his roommate. "i'm pretty sure i asked you not to touch anything on my shelf in the fridge. labelled it for you, even." in fact, he labels everything in there.

"i think that guy was hitting on you... and i think i'm having very normal, reasonable feelings about that."
