a coworker asked cassie out and she agreed he was funny enough she’d thought
but you and cassie had been flirting back and forth for weeks. months even. this jsut felt like a slap in the face. it hurt. cassie had tried not to lead you on (she genuinely thinks she doesn’t deserve you) but she’d melt around you. she couldn’t help it. but the last couple days felt too real and she panicked.
you put in your notice. 2 weeks. cassie finds out.
“so were you gonna tell me about this?” cassie would say.
eventual (during a heated discussion) confession and subsequent kissy kissy !!
"i didn't have to tell you about it. you're not my boss, cassie." you tell her. which might have been a little mean, you admit.
"i'm not your boss but i thought i was your friend."
"well, i thought we were a little more than that but then you went on a date with someone else -"
"is this what it's about?!" cassie drags you into the nearest empty room, not leaving much for you to protest with how quick she was. "you quit because i went on a date? really?"
"not everything's about you."
"then tell me why you're quitting!"
"there's a better offer -"
"bullshit."
you take a deep breath. cassie's grip on your forearm tightens and you know that once you look into her eyes, it's over.
"look at me," cassie begs. and you hate how instantly you fold. "are you seriously leaving?"
"dr. al hashimi is still negotiating with me," you answer truthfully. the attending recognizes you as a valuable member of the team, you know that. you love being here in ptmc, you love the people here. and maybe that's the problem too. "i sent in a two weeks notice but she said i still should think about it."
"please think about it." please think about me, cassie wants to say.
"if there's something worth staying," you murmur.
cassie feels her heart breaking. the sad thing is cassie isn't even a stranger to the feeling.
"i can be worth staying," cassie says. she steps closer, her hands on both of your cheeks. "please."
"w-what about your date?"
"it was one time. i didn't even have fun. all i could think about was you."
you look up at her and all you can see is pure sincerity and desperation in those blue eyes.
"i thought i didn't deserve you. i still don't." cassie presses her forehead against yours. "but i want to. i want to do everything so i can deserve you, to have you."
god. stupid, wonderful, beautiful cassie.
"you're fucking stupid."
"wha -"
you cut cassie off by kissing her, messy and hungry and desperate. but the kiss doesn't feel like it's the first time. it feels like you two have been doing this your whole life. all you can feel is cassie's hand on your lower back, the other cupping your cheek, and her body pressing you against the storage rack that you're hoping wouldn't fall.
fucking love the pitt. they let the autistic girl chill with a dog fo a bit then her boss came in like "fucking love u girl my least troublesome intern wanna pick sooo much gravel out a dudes leg wound?" and she was just like 😀😀😀 incredible. banger autistic rep shes so me.
and it’s so so fucking awesome that baran is a millennial woman of color who’s allowed to have a personality outside of Nurturing Mother. baran is a disabled and highly competent combat vet with ptsd and she brings everyone donuts on her first day to make a good impression and she corrects people abt her name and she calls robby out and she is allowed to be angry and tearful and cry in her car and she resents how her coworkers have given up on fighting the system but she still wants to be a good attending for them. and she is not their mother. she is NOT THEIR MOTHER!!!!
legit the best advice i can give you: feed your friends
any time someone is in any kind of crisis or upheaval, offer to feed them. tell them they don't have to choose what it is if they can't make decisions, just ask about allergies and preferences and tell them you're just gonna make food happen at their house.
friend having a baby? delivery gift certificate to order food to the hospital after the kid shows up.
someone's relative passes away? offer to make them dinner.
buddy gets laid off? ask if you can order them lunch.
pal stuck in a depressive episode? offer to drive them to fucking mcdonalds, if that's what they want.
people in crisis are tired and sad and angry and the last thing most of them are doing is thinking about feeding themselves. so if you have the ability or time or money, providing that is always, always a good move.
legit i do this all the time, and it is 100% always appreciated. i have taught all my friends that when something happens, we feed each other. it makes people feel extremely cared for, and I cannot recommend it enough.
