author's note: sorry for not posting for so long. it has been a CRAZY year for me. i'll try to post more often. 😞
You work in the Pittsburgh hospital as a cardiac surgeon. That's how you first met Michael. When you we're still first year residents. You two fell on love with each other and after a a couple years of dancing around each other, you finally started dating. A few years later, Michael proposed, and of course you said yes.
Working on the healthcare industry is very hard. Long hours, not enough recompensation, often bad outcomes. But still you love what you do.
You and Michael try to see each other as often as possible - specially in between breaks. 97
Today, Michael has the privilege of getting a lunch break, and the two of you went to the park right outside of the hospital to each together on one of the many benches under the trees. That way, Michael could see if he was needed to (if an ambulance arrived).
It was a chilly day today. The breese making the leaves ruffle against each other, creating a calming setting for the two of you.
"How has your day been so far?" You ask him.
"The same paradise as ever." He says in a sarcastic tone and you chuckle.
A stronger gush of wind comes around, making you shiver a little. Before you know it, Michael has dropped his zipper hoodie around your shoulder. You look at him, a little shocked by the action.
"Here. Have it for the day. I know you didn't bring a jacket, like always."
"Michael, no, it's fine. I'm fine. It was just the wind that came out of a sudden. You love this hoodie, plus, it's colder in the ER then on my floor."
"You're cold. Plus I thought we had already passed the shy fase, sweetheart."
A blush starts creeping into your ears and you smile at him. Even though you guys have been married for years, he still makes you feel like a teenager.
You guys continue talking about your mornings when suddenly an ambulance rips the peace between you two. Michael immediately went into work mode. He quickly looked at you and you gave him a short nod, telling him it's fine for him to go. He gives you a small peck and then makes a little run to the ER, leaving you alone on the bench.
You finish you lunch and notice he barely ate anything. You make a mental note to bring him a protein bar or something to keep him running on something other then coffee. As you are cleaning up everything to go back to the hospital, you get paged. 911, an emergency. There goes the chance of stealing a glance at your handsome husband by giving him something to eat before going back to work.
Many hours later, you finally finished your surgery. It was long and hard, but you recently read some files about cases similar to this one, so it went well. You shift was finished. You looked at your watch and saw it was already 7:30 pm. Meaning, your husband has been free for the past half hour. Officially, because everyone knows he is still working.
You start walking to the elevators but make a quick stop at the vending machine on the way.
As you go down the elevator, you get more and more excited about going home with your husband and unwind before falling asleep next to him. The doors ring and then they open to show the chaos of the ER. Nothing out of the usual. You walk in and are immediately greeted by Samira, whom is one of the many ER doctors you've gotten close with over the years.
"Dr. Robinavitch! What are you doing down here?"
"Just looking for Dr. Robby" you smile at her.
"Ah, yes. He was dealing with a difficult case, the last time I checked. But I can go try and find him, if you want."
"That would be great, thank you. I'll wait by the nurse's station."
"Okay." she says with a smile before starting to walk into the deeps of the ER.
You start walk to the nurse's station and get recognized by another person. But this time, someone you've known for longer - Dana.
"And what are you, fancy surgeon, doing down here?"
You chuckle at her words and smile as she start walking to you with open arms. You quickly get to her and hug her.
"I came to get my husband."
"Oh, honey, then you're going to have to wait a little. Want me to go get him for you?"
"No, it's fine, Dr. Mohan already went, thanks though."
She smiles at you and wraps an arm around you shoulder, starting to guide you to her chair at her desk.
"So, how have you been up there?"
"Good. But I miss you too much."
She chuckles.
"You're smooth, I'll give you that."
You chuckle with her.
"Wait. Is that Robby's hoodie?" She asks, now noticing your clothes.
"Yeah, he gave it to me during lunch break because I was cold."
She chuckles again.
"You guys look like you're still in your 20's with how sweet you act. I wish my husband gave me his jacket when I'm cold."
She huffs and you laugh.
After catching up with Dana, your dear husband arrived.
"Hey, sorry I'm late, I was working with a difficult case and it was hectic."
"It's fine, I know." You smile at him as you get up.
"Ready to go?"
"Yeah, already have my things. Let's go"
You look at Dana and hug her once more.
"Visit us more often!" She says as you two start to walk away.
"I'll try!"
Once you are outside, near your car, Michael pulls you into a hug and hides his face in the crook of your neck.
"Finally." He mumbles.
"Is everything okay?"
"Yes. I just missed you too much and had to be professional inside the hospital."
He holds you a little tighter.
"I has a patient today. He was old and had fell so he came to see us. When I asked why he was alone, he said that he doesn't want to be around anyone since his wife died because she was the only one who kept him sane."
"That's so sad." You say in a sweet voice and you caress his hair.
He pulls you little closer again.
"Promise me you will stay with me forever."
You chuckle.
"I already did. On our wedding day."
"Promise me again."
You smile and sigh.
"I promise I will be with you forever."
He looks at you and kisses you. It's slow and sweet and full of love.
Once the kiss breaks, he caresses your cheek as he says.
"Let's go home."
Hope you liked it! xoxo, kim ryoko
