Valentine’s Day Special #35
(Not stated) Modern AU 💙 Crush on coworker Law requested by Anon
Being the intern in a hospital was no small feat. There was a lot of scrambling around and following the doctor’s orders. You were working under Trafalgar Law, an experienced but also impassive surgeon, The first couple of weeks you went to the hospital and followed him around, the bored look on his face almost intimidated you. You had heard rumors that interns wouldn’t last a week with him because of the cruel undertones when he talked to them. Maybe that’s why he kept you around. You weren’t the best intern but the way that you answered him crudely at times amused him. You also weren’t willing on giving up this internship. It would be handy to have it for the future.
He was impressed that you stayed so long working under him. In turn, he became much more tolerable and even civil with you. The both of you spent a lot more time together than the nurses did since you had asked him to mentor you while on the internship. He was annoyed at first but now he was used to your presence and didn’t mind it anymore.
Valentine’s Day came around and it was your task for the day to deliver the flowers to the patients’ room. You spent the day just running around the halls, delivering flowers, small stuffed animals, balloons, anything. You were grateful to get off your feet and slumped down in the break room.
Law had entered the break room and put a vase of flowers down on the counter. You raised your eyebrow at the sight of them and sat up to get a better look.
“Who’s flowers are those?” He slid his lab coat off and hung it up on one of the hooks so he could take his break. He looked through the fridge and took out the lunch he brought to work.
“They’re mine.”
“Are they for you or for you to give them to someone?” He took a seat at the table you were at and smirked at you.
“Why? Expecting flowers from me?” A dark blush covered your cheeks and your eyes narrowed at him, your crush on him was obvious and he always chose to tease you about it.
“No! Just wondering who would give you flowers.” He took a bite of the onigiri he brought and raised an eyebrow, the smirk still on his face.
“From what I heard, you would.” You could feel the blush reach your ears and crossed your arms, looking to the side. He rolled his eyes and looked over at the flowers. “Don’t be snippy. That was from a patient’s family. As a thank you or something.”
“That’s nice of them.” He shrugged and ate another one of his onigiris.
“Yeah. I’m not much of a flower guy though.” He pushed the container of his towards you so you could take the last of the onigiris. You hesitated but you took it and ate it.
“I don’t know. Flowers would compliment the gloomy and dark look you have going on.” He raised an eyebrow at you as you giggled. He hummed softly before closing the container and tucking it back in the fridge to get later.
“Not gonna happen.” He checked the time on his watch and got up, going over to the hook and putting his lab coat back on. “I’ve got surgery. Make sure you’re there afterwards to check on the patient with the nurses.” You nodded before getting up as well and heading back to work.
He watched you leave before picking up his phone and making a call. When it was all done and over with, he went to the operating room and put on scrubs to start the surgery.
You had learned that after the surgery he went home after picking up the empty container from the break room’s fridge. After a talking with the patient and finding out how their condition was, you took yourself to the break room to get your stuff and head home. When you walked in, you noticed a vase full of flowers at the table that you usually sat at. You raised an eyebrow and went over, wondering if someone left flowers behind.
The flowers were beautiful, various bright flowers and near the edge of the vase there were dark calla lilies that contrasted the bright flowers nicely. You didn’t want to snoop but you looked at the card. Maybe you could take them home and bring them back for your coworker. You read the tag and a dark blush filled your cheeks.
To (Y/N), Bright flowers contrast against my gloominess, right?
