It was a normal day for Edward at work. Everything seemed to be going smoothly, no accidents or stupid people. Just the occasional yelling at his nurse but that was normal in his case. That was until Henrik came in that day.
Usually there was no problem between the two, but for some reason he had been avoiding him ever since he came in. Refused to talk to him and wouldn’t even be in the same room as his fellow doctor. This worried him greatly since Henrik never acted this way.
For the entire day Edward was only asking his co-workers on Henrik, to try and get some insight on why his partner was acting such way.
One of his coworkers came forward saying Henrik had been limping a lot when he thought nobody was looking and that he looked pained whenever he was trying to walk normally. That only seemed to worry him more as he went to Henrik’s office door and knocked.
“Ja?” “Henrik, let me in.”
Henrik sighed from inside the office. “Edward, no. Just stop asking already” Edward mumbled a little, knowing he’d regret this later but he needed to find out what was going on. He gripped the doorknob, since Henrik’s lock was broken anyway. “I’m coming in” He sighed and came in.
Before Henrik could say a word Edward stopped him. “What’s going on Henrik? It’s not nothing either. You’ve been avoiding me all day and now I’m being told you’re limping”
Henrik looked away from him, as if he felt guilty for something. “Fine. I got hurt okay, it isn’t important anyway” “Then get up if it isn’t”
With that, Henrik did stand, only to nearly double over when the sharp pain shot through his injured leg. Edward picked him up and carried him to a room before checking his leg, much to Henrik’s refusal. “Is..Is this broken?” He asked. The ashamed look on the Germans face told him all he needed to know. “Why didn’t you tell me?” He questioned, still concerned and now worried that his partner was afraid to tell him anything.
“I didn’t want you to worry for me, it’s not that important.” He mumbled, catching Edward off guard. “If you’re using a makeshift splint and can’t bandage it properly, I think it’s important..” Edward replied.
Henrik began to tear up, feeling guilty for not telling him but Edward gently wiped the tears away. “hey..it’s not you’re fault..lets get it properly taken care of, I’ll talk to the boss and see if we can leave early”
