Summary: You're on your period and Neil offers you a little comfort when he sees you're having a bad day.

Words: 2.2k

Pairing: Neil Melendez x Doctor!reader

A/N: It's ridiculous how much time I wasted searching for a gif and still ending up unsatisfied. But for some reason when I search for gifs on tumblr for my writing I just get reaction memes these days. It's so annoying! Anyway, this was requested. I hope you like it and it's the way you imagined :) I really want to write more again, because it felt so good to just sit down and start typing, but life is so busy at the moment and both my physical and mental health aren't so great too! Hopefully it will all get better soon :)

You should have known it would be ‘one of those days’ when you walked into work with a belly ache, but you didn’t think much of it, hoping if you just ignored it the pain would eventually go away.

Only it didn’t. Instead it got worse, spreading into your lower back and making it hard to keep standing. All you wanted to do was sit or lie down and not move anymore, perhaps even curl over until the pain faded.

But you were on shift, the ER was buzzing and the hospital was understaffed. Sighing you grabbed the next patient’s file, scanning it quickly as you made your way over to where he was seated. Too late you realized someone was crossing your way and you bumped right into them, startling at the unexpected contact.

“Sorry!” You took a step back and glanced up at the man dressed in the blue scrubs, relieved but also a little nervous to find it was Neil Melendez. The two of you got along well, so well that it made you hope he would eventually ask you out.

But he hadn’t yet and you didn’t have the heart to do it yourself, fearing the humiliation of a rejection since you would have to keep working together.

Neil teased you and he flirted with you, but that didn’t have to mean anything. He was naturally charming. Still you hoped for the moment to come, your heart always losing its steady rhythm for a second when you laid eyes on him.

“It’s nothing.” He smiled at you and you tried to reciprocate it, but a sharp pain in your belly made your face twist in pain instead. “Well, I should get going”, you said once the pain had ebbed a little, but you didn’t make it far as Neil held you back by your elbow.

“You okay?” His brows were knitted and he watched you with a frown, his eyes darting over your face before he locked eyes with you again. You drew in a breath, tensing a little at the proximity and trying to ignore your galloping heart.

“Yeah, I’m fine”, you brushed it off, this time managing a smile. You saw Neil slightly narrow his eyes at you, but before he could say anything else you offered him a nod and hurried away.

-

You had never looked so much forward to your break, the imagination of finally sitting down and eating a meal keeping you going for the rest of the morning. But just as you handed over your last patient’s file, planning to head to the cafeteria, a voice called you back.

It was Dr. Lim. She was marching over to you and you could tell from her face she wanted something from you.

Not now.

“What is it?”, you asked, once she came to stand beside you, not hiding your frustration. The other doctor looked at you surprised, before holding an iPad out to you. “The imaging and report from Mr. Wellington’s CT just came in.”

You let your eyes flicker over it, not finding anything worth this fuss. “And?”, you asked, sounding as impatient as you felt to get held back. “That’s what I thought too”, Audrey continued unbothered, “but then I found this.” She used her fingers to zoom in on it.

“See this shadow?”

You squinted your eyes. “Could be anything.” “Right, but it looks like a small tumour. I already ran a biopsy. The results should be in soon.”

You glanced up at her, waiting for her to come to the point. When she didn’t say more you sighed. “So? Why are you showing me this?”

“Okay-“, Audrey snapped the iPad’ case shut, handing it over to the nurse’s desk, “Someone’s in a mood today!”

You winced under her glare, regretting how harsh you had sounded. It wasn’t her fault you were having a bad day and she didn’t deserve your attitude. “Sorry.”

You closed your eyes and took a deep inhale, trying to push away your annoyance. You really didn’t want to argue with Audrey today. Especially not over something stupid like this.

“It’s just-” You opened your eyes again, gesturing at the busy ER. “-My back is killing me and I have the worst cramps and I just want to lay down and suffer in silence.”

You let out a chuckle at your dramatic words and the way they came out as if they had been at the tip of your tongue only waiting to slip out, which probably wasn’t far from the truth, and Audrey offered you a sympathetic smile. “That time of the month?”

You nodded, surprised that you didn’t feel embarrassed to talk about it with her. Audrey always seemed so strong and unbothered and you couldn’t imagine her whining over a stupid period. But she seemed to know exactly what you were talking about.

“The mood swings are the worst for me. You might know I’m not the most patient person out there-”, you grinned, thinking of the many incidents she had proven what a short temper she coud have, “but during that time? You really don’t want to pick a fight with me then!”

You laughed. It was just too easy to imagine. “I bet Melendez and Andrews have made that mistake.” Audrey’s face lit up. “Oh, trust me they have!” She shook her head, smiling. “And they learn from it.”

“As they should”, you nodded, “at least they don’t have to attempt 12-hour shifts while it feels like their insides get twisted inside-out.”

Audrey laid her hand on your lower arm, squeezing lightly. “Ibuprofen’s your best friend. And if you ever need to take a break and lay down just tell me.”

You felt a lump forming in your throat and you had to will back your tears. Damn hormones! “Thank you.” You hoped she could hear how sincere you were, the thought of having an escape providing you with relief strong enough to give you a little energy back.

“We women have to stick together.” Audrey squeezed your arm again, before retreating and you looked after her for a moment, grateful to have a friend in her.

-

When you had finally made it to the cafeteria, your pager had gone off right as it had been your turn to order. “You can’t be serious”, you muttered as you pulled it out and read it. “Hey, are you going to order or what?”, you heard someone ask behind you, but without another word you took off, praying you would make it to your patient in time.

Luckily you had. But afterwards you had been pulled right into another case and before you knew it, it had grown dark outside and your stomach was growling at you.

The cafeteria was long closed and so you got a chocolate bar from the vending machine, promising yourself to get real food once you were off the clock.

The ER had quietened down as it often did at the end of your shift and since you had never taken your break you allowed yourself a moment to take a breath in the resident’s lounge.

Although you weren’t a resident anymore you still liked to come here. Perhaps it was the closeness to Neil’s office or the quiet it provided at the end of the day when the residents had all gone home. There was no one who could tell you off as you curled up on the sofa.

The chocolate tasted heavily in your mouth and you devoured it until the last crumb. “You look like you just fell in love.”

“Huh?” You glanced up, to find Neil at the door, casually entering the room and coming to stand in front of you.

He gestured towards the wrapper you had placed on the table. “The chocolate.”

Oh. You let out a chuckle as you realized you had stared at it longingly while you had contemplated whether it was reasonable to get up and get another one or if it wasn’t worth the effort it would take to search for a vending machine.

“That was probably the best chocolate I’ve ever had”, you declared and Neil chuckled. “Your standards are very low then.” You tried to look offended but failed. “Don’t speak ill of the vending machines. They are real life savers. And it’s been a tough day.”

You said it lightly, but you saw Neil’s jaw twitch at the last part. “What happened?”

He walked over to where you were sitting and you shuffled to the side to make space for him. He leaned against the armrest, his body angled towards yours. “Nothing I-”

But suddenly tears were clouding your eyes as all the emotions you had bottled up threatened to spill over. “Damn it!” You wiped at your eyes before the tears could spill, feeling your cheeks heat up in embarrassment.

You didn’t need to look at Neil’s face to see the worry on it.

“Sorry”, you let out an embarrassed chuckle and Neil smiled at you softly. “I’m usually not this emotional. It’s been a long day that’s all.”

“You have had longer ones and didn’t bat an eye.” It wasn’t an accusation, only genuine confusion on Neil’s part and your heart swelled at the hidden compliment and how much he cared to understand you.

“Yeah”, you muttered, closing your eyes as another cramp hit you. When you opened them again you hoped your face hadn’t betrayed you and given away your discomfort, but the disadvantage at working so closely together was that Neil could read you by now.

Before he could make any wild guesses, you decided to just tell him the truth.

You didn’t have to be embarrassed about it, shouldn’t feel that way, yet it was easier said than done. You didn’t want him to think you couldn’t take the hardships of the job, that you were weak or dramatic. But even as you thought it you knew Neil would never think that of you.

Or anyone.

He wasn’t like that, wasn’t intimidated by strong willed women or the reality of what it was like to be one.

Taking a long inhale and an even longer exhale you looked up at him. “I got my period this morning and I’ve been in pain all day.” Now that you had gotten the words out you suddenly had the urge to let it all out.

“And my back is like- so bad. But the cramps are the worst. And I snapped at Audrey. And then again at Glassman. And I almost bawled my eyes out when my patient made it out of surgery and his wife came to see him. And this-”, you gestured at yourself, “is the first break I have gotten all day and I don’t think I’m ever gonna stand up again.”

You stared at Neil in shock for a moment as you realized what had just happened, but then you let out a laugh. “Wow and that just came out like one long sentence!”

Neil chuckled in amusement. “That seems like a really crappy day”, he agreed and you nodded in relief that he seemed to take it serious. “Right? I mean, there are worse things, obviously, but still-” You clutched your belly again, letting out a hiss of pain.

When you looked back up Neil had shifted closer to you, his frown back in place. “Why didn’t you call in sick?”

“Really?” You shook your head, amused and a little frustrated. “I can’t just call in sick every month.”

“It’s this bad every month?”

You nodded. “Most of the time, yeah. Sometimes it’s better, other’s it’s worse. But that’s just how it is.”

Neil face twisted, clearly displeased with what you had said or the situation, perhaps both. “It shouldn’t be like that”, he said then and you looked at him for a moment, taking in his sincerity. “I mean, yeah”, you agreed after a moment. “What, you want to change the whole system now?”

Neil’s mouth curled up in the hint of a smile. “Not tonight, no. I have better plans.”

Your face fell a little as you felt a hint of disappointment at his words. Maybe he was just hanging out with friends or visiting his sister you tried to reason. But the thought of him having plans with another woman gnawed at you.

“Really? What could be better than that?”, you asked teasingly and he tipped his head towards you. “Someone needs to show you what real chocolate tastes like.”

Oh. Your hope arose so strongly you almost forgot to breathe for a moment. “And my sofa is even more comfortable than this one.” He patted the couch you were seated on, not breaking eye contact once.

You still looked at him in shock, unable to form words as you processed his. “You’re baiting me with chocolate?”, you asked once the shock had faded a little, cautious not to put too much weight into his words and Neil grinned. “I do give great massages too. I cook. And I have a big movie collection to distract you from, you know, the pain and all that.”

You smiled widely at him. “Now that wins me over”, you stated, although the thought of spending time alone with Neil was already enough. But it didn’t make his promises less appealing. And it made you feel warm inside to know how much he cared and that he had put so much thought into what he could do to make you feel better.

“Great.” He stood up. “So it’s a date?” For the first time he sounded nervous and it made your heart flutter to know it was because of you. That this, whatever it was between you, mattered to him too.

“It’s a date.”

Anaesthesia | Neil Melendez | The Good Doctor

Doctors, especially surgeons, know the side effects of surgeries like the back of their hands; they have too. The effects of anaesthesia are also commonly known, however they are not usually witnessed or enjoyed by the operating surgeon or anyone on their surgical staff. They tended to check in with the patient thoroughly after the majority of the medication had worn off and had been replaced with morphine.

It had been a while since Neil had experienced it first hand, it was something he swore to himself that he would change. In the beginning he had been worried when (y/n) had to go in for emergency surgery, their appendix had burst. Now, he couldn't help himself from giggling at them whilst encouraging their drug induced antics.

"You're really pretty, you know that right?" They slurred, trying to maintain eye contact with him.

Neil smiled. "Thank you, Dr. (l/n)."

"It is very, very, very, important to me that you know that." They watched as he just laughed alongside them as they continued their rambling. "I don't feel normal."

His smiled dropped.

"`What doesn't feel normal; what's wrong?"

(y/n) pondered his question for a moment, letting the silence thickly drag in the air. They didn't understand the gravity of their declaration and the million thoughts that were rushing through Neil's head. What if the surgery had gone wrong? What if they were experiencing complications and they had to go back under? What if they-?

"I know what it is."

Melendez looked up expectantly.

"I'm cold, I need cuddles."

"Cuddles?" he ask incredulously. (y/n) just nodded their head as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. At this, his worried seem to vanish in a flash and he moved so he could position himself at (y/n)'s side. "Well, who am I do deny a patient."

Shaun's Playful Side

Shaun is feeling playful and bored, and pulls a few gags and pranks on his coworkers. Most of his coworkers can have a laugh out of Shaun's antics, but two of them find a need to get revenge...

This was a fanfic I had written in a separate fanfic writing spot that I had for a few months to a year. It was fun to write then, and it was extra fun to edit and upload here.

This fanfic is for @secretly-tword-obsessed. I hope you enjoy!

It was nearing the end of the long work day, and Dr. Browne was getting ready to leave. As she was getting ready, she couldn’t help but reflect over the day. She reflected over a few different things, often having to do with the patients. But the one thing she certainly reflected on, was Shaun and his silliness today.

Now, usually silliness wasn’t tolerated in the workplace. But Shaun kept his silliness under control during the work shifts. But when they were given free time...that was a whole different story today.

For some reason, Shaun had been acting a lot like a mischievous child during his breaks. Whenever they weren’t in surgery, weren’t focusing on something serious, or weren’t with/talking about the patient, Shaun would do weird things like: -play with Dr. Browne’s hair -poke Dr. Reznick multiple times -placing zip ties on Dr. Andrew’s stuff -spam Dr. Melendez with texts And: -attempt to balance different things on Dr. Park’s head.

Dr. Park and Dr. Browne saw Shaun’s unusual antics as a funny joke. They just assumed that Shaun was either feeling playful that day or trying to eliminate boredom.

Dr. Park actually found it quite funny when Shaun would come up with things to balance on his head. He even went along with it and helped him pile books on his head. Then, a goofy smile filled Shaun’s face the moment all the books came falling down. Dr. Park yelped and looked down. “Oh no!”

Shaun looked at him with a smile despite his disappointment. “It fell.”

Dr. Park chuckled. “Really? I didn’t notice! Like, at all” He said, over exaggerating his sarcasm.

Shaun pointed at him awkwardly like he usually did. “You’re being sarcastic. That’s meant to be a joke. I liked it.” Shaun explained.

“Yes, it was. And thank you.” Dr. Park said with a playful bow. “Now: How flat is your head?” Dr. Park asked, picking up the books.

Shaun felt his own head and fluffed his hair a little. “I don’t know.”

Dr. Park held up a book. “Wanna find out?” Dr. Park asked.

Shaun’s smile returned for a bit as he nodded.

And Dr. Melendez happened to walk in as Shaun and Dr. Park managed to get 3 books balanced atop Shaun’s head.

Dr. Browne would be thinking of something or reading, when Shaun would just start playing with her hair. It started with feeling it, and soon turned into uncurling and letting go of the curls. “What are you doing?” Dr. Browne asked.

“Your hair is curly. Boing boing.” Shaun said in his monotone voice.

Dr. Browne practically lost it when Shaun said ‘boing’ in the most unenthusiastic voice possible. And the ‘boing’ noises just kept going too. And Dr. Browne loved every moment of it. It was rare to see Shaun acting like this.

Dr. Andrews was a little annoyed at first. He found the zip ties everywhere, somewhat inconvenient. But, he did get some humor out of seeing the scissors, even the scissors, zip tied together. When he went to the video capturing computers to find out who it was, Dr. Andrews was plenty surprised to find out it was Shaun. Though, he supposed he didn’t fully know Shawn outside of work.

“Shaun, can you get me a pair of scissors and come to my office please?” Dr. Andrews asked.

Shaun immediately smiled as the scissors part gave away what he wanted.

When Shaun arrived at his office, Dr. Andrews was smiling and pointing to him. “I looked at the cameras...and found out you were the zip tie man.” Dr. Andrews reacted. “Now I’ll be honest: I was a little surprised at first.” Dr. Andrews admitted.

Shaun looked down, feeling guilty. “I’m sorry.”

Dr. Andrews blinked in surprise. Oh gosh- “No no no! It’s fine! It was funny. Especially seeing the scissors zip tied. That’s a classic.” Dr. Andrews told him.

Shaun looked at him with curiosity. “Now, can you cut these scissors free so I can use them to get my stuff untied?” Dr. Andrews asked, handing him the scissors.

Shaun nodded and cut the ziptie off the scissors. But when Dr. Andrews walked up to take the scissors from him, Shawn started backing up. At first, Dr. Andrews worried he may have been doing something wrong. But then, Dr. Andrews noticed something that told him everything:

Shaun’s little smile.

“Shaun...Shawn I need the scissors.” Dr. Andrews told him, walking closer.

Shaun walked another step back and shook his head with the smile on his face.

“Don’t make me come over there.” Dr. Andrews ordered. “You’re 26 years old. You know better.” Dr. Andrews reminded.

“This is fun.” Shawn told him.

“Oh?” Dr. Andrews smirked. “You want fun? Okay. I’ll give you fun.” Dr. Andrews took off running for Shaun and smiled wider when he watched Shaun turn right around and take off running.

It didn’t take long for Dr. Andrews to hunt him down and get the scissors off him. Dr. Andrews even got Dr. Browne in on helping him. In response to that; Dr. Browne started tickling Shaun and soon got the scissors from the evil Shaun Murphy.

Meanwhile, Dr. Melendez and Dr. Reznick were NOT happy with with the jokes. Morgan saw it as inappropriate for any time of the day and didn’t want him to do anything to her. Not only that, but Shaun’s poking almost revealed a secret that she’s always wanted to get away from. But luckily, it was only Shaun and her in the room when it happened. After that, Shaun’s hand was grabbed and he was verbally forced to stop.

For Dr. Melendez, receiving multiple texts from a resident that just said “hi”, can make you question how useful your phone really is. Dr. Melendez had been spending some of the day questioning if he should either break his phone against the floor, or throw it right at Shaun’s face. Both seemed tempting after all those texts.

Luckily, that hasn’t happened yet...

Fast forwarding to after work, Dr. Browne was closing her locker when Dr. Reznick bursted through the locker room door. “I swear, I am going to KILL SHAUN!” Dr. Reznick yelled.

“Holy shit! What did he do to you?” Dr. Browne asked, both surprised and amused by her reaction to a harmless prank.

“He kept poking me without stopping! It took me 5 tries to get him to permanently stop!” Dr. Reznick yelled.

Dr. Browne just giggled at her.

“Why are you laughing? Getting poked all day is NOT! FUNNY!” Dr. Reznick yelled.

“Come on, Morgan. He’s just trying to have some fun.” Dr. Browne defended with a smile on her face.

“Ha! Fun? You call “getting poked constantly” fun?” Dr. Reznick argued.

“Yes. It sounds a bit better than what he did to me. He kept playing with my hair and calling it bouncy.” Dr. Browne said.

“Well...your hair is bouncy...” Dr. Reznick muttered under her breath.

Suddenly, Dr. Melendez bursted into the room.

“I did it! I worked up the courage to throw my phone at Shaun.” Dr. Melendez cheered.

Dr. Reznick cheered with him. “Yeah! That’ll show him!”

“What?! Why the hell would you do that?” Dr. Browne asked angrily.

“He kept spamming my phone with pointless texts!” Dr. Melendez yelled.

Dr. Browne laughed at her boss’s reaction.

Soon, Dr. Andrews walked into the locker room, holding a big pile of cut zip ties. “I found out who the Zip Tie Man is.” Dr. Andrews said with a laugh. “And the scissors stealer! Don’t ever give Shawn any office scissors again. He’ll run away with them.” Dr. Andrews told them.

Dr. Melendez bursted out laughing at that. “And here I am, giving the guy a scalpel and my phone number!” Dr. Melendez reacted.

Dr. Andrews blinked in surprise. “Wait...I wasn’t the only one zip tied?” Dr. Andrews asked.

“Yes, but you weren’t the only one getting pranked or messed with.” Dr. Browne told him.

“I got poked constantly.” Dr. Reznick told him.

Dr. Melendez rolled his eyes. “I was spammed with texts.”

“And I had my hair played with. Which, it actually felt nice! He’s very gentle with people’s hair.” Dr. Browne told them.

“Hey, what if we were to treat him like the child he was?” Dr. Reznick asked. Dr. Browne didn’t like the sound of this...

“Like, payback? Okay. But how? He doesn’t think like us, so he could see the action the complete opposite from what we meant to communicate.” Dr. Melendez warned.

Dr. Reznick thought of ideas, and started to think of her almost embarassing situation earlier. This triggered an idea.

“Hey, I have an idea.” Dr. Reznick said as she walked up, before whispering the idea into Dr. Melendez’s ear.

“Why didn’t I think of that?! That’s probably the most childish revenge I can think of.” Dr. Melendez exclaimed. Dr. Reznick smirked as she looked at Dr. Browne, who looked scared out of her skin.

“What? Poking him to oblivion like he did to you?” Dr. Andrews asked.

“Nope. Tickling him.” Dr. Reznick replied.

Dr. Andrews smiled. “Oooooh! I know exactly where you should go for! Dr. Browne happened to be showing me this morning!” Dr. Andrews told them. “This is where you go:”

Dr. Andrews took the time to tell them, and ignored Dr. Browne’s protests that ‘they weren’t true’ or ‘you shouldn’t’. But Dr, Melendez and Dr. Reznick were all for getting revenge. This was gonna be so fun!

Meanwhile: Shaun soon left Dr. Glassman’s office and started heading towards the locker room. He opened the room door and walked in.

“Hello.” Shaun said.

“Hi Shaun.” Dr. Reznick said, oddly cheerful for being annoyed. Shaun noticed this.

“What are you happy about?” Shaun asked.

“Nothing.” Dr. Reznick replied. Shaun noticed many signs that said otherwise.

“You’re lying.” Shaun observed.

“No I’m not.” Dr. Reznick said in a sing-song voice. Shaun started to feel a mixture of fastination and worry. He looked over to Dr. Browne, who shrugged rather nervously. Shaun didn’t like this weird turn.

“What’s going on?” Shaun asked.

“Oh nothing.” Dr. Melendez said behind Shaun, making him jump.

“Hello...why are you two acting strange?” Shaun asked. His boss and his least favourite partner were now circling him, causing him to feel more nervous by the second.

“Oh, you’ve never seen this side of us? Kind of like how we’ve never seen your playful, mischievous side, until now?” Dr. Melendez said bluntly. Shaun started smiling a little bit.

“This is about my playful mood today. It doesn’t happen often.” Shaun admitted.

“Really? That’s good to know.” Dr. Reznick reacted.

“How?” Shaun asked as he followed Dr. Reznick.

Suddenly, Dr. Melendez pounced on Shaun, causing Shaun to fall backwards to the ground.

“I don’t like the look of this...” Shaun admited as he felt his wrists get gripped by Dr. Reznick.

“Since you’ve been acting like a child all day, we’re going to treat you like one.” Dr. Reznick said while Dr. Melendez removed Shaun’s shoes.

“I know what you’re planning. It is not good.” Shaun said, attempting to struggle. However, Dr. Reznick was stronger than her appearance led him to believe.

Before Shaun knew it, he began feeling ticklish sensations on the balls of his feet.

“Hehehe! Wait! I’m sorry! Haha! Please! Hehe! Let me go!” Shaun begged, attempting to squirm out of his trap. Dr. Browne stared wide-eyed, as Dr. Reznick and Dr. Melendez’s secret plan started.

“Wow! Not even 5 seconds in, and we’re hearing Shaun beg. We haven’t even started!” Dr. Melendez said, looking at Dr. Reznick before picking up the pace.

Dr. Andrews chuckled from his hiding spot. He was recording the whole thing on his phone.

Shaun was full-blown laughing now!

“Hahahaha! Wait! Nohoho! Hahahaha!” Shaun laughed.

“You know, Shaun, you should laugh more. You know why? Because I have never heard you laugh like this before.” Dr. Melendez explained. It was then and there that Dr. Melendez decided to start going for underneath the toes like Dr. Andrews suggested.

“Hahahaha! HA! HEY! HAHAHA!” Shaun yelled, as his laughter grew slightly louder.

“Oooh! Sweet spot!” Dr. Reznick proclaimed as she held Shaun’s wrists. Shaun was squirming even more now, and it was becoming more and more difficult to hold him still. Dr. Melendez noticed this and stopped for a moment.

“Did you wanna switch for a bit?” Dr. Melendez asked. Shaun was breathing hard.

“W-wait...no...any-anything but...that...the nails! They’re...worse.” Shaun admitted between breaths.

Those words made Dr. Reznick immediately nod. “You know what? Sure.” Dr. Reznick agreed and let go of Shaun’s wrists. They switched spots quickly, so that Shaun didn’t run away on them.

“Alright. Since Dr. Melendez had already worked on your feet, I’m gonna go somewhere different.” Dr. Reznick said as she looked for a good spot. She decided to try the top of his knees first.

“Wait! Don’t go for my knees!” Shaun said angrily, before kicking Dr. Reznick’s knees.

“Hey! Watch where you’re kicking! And for that...” Dr. Reznick warned before sitting on Shaun’s lower legs.

“Oh no...” Shaun thought out loud.

Dr. Reznick started squeezing Shaun’s knees.

“Ah! D-don’t! Gahahaha! Stahap!” Shaun yelled through his laughter.

“Aww! Is this too much? Here: Let’s see if this is better.” Dr. Reznick teased before poking at the back of Shaun’s knees.

“EEEEEEKK! NOHOHOHAHAHAHA! STAHAP! THAT’S WORSE! THAT’S WORSE!! HAHAHAHA!” Shaun screamed as he struggled to stop her fingers.

“Oh my! I think that’s a lot better!” Dr. Reznick teased.

Shaun’s mind was going crazy! All he could think about was how vulnerable and ticklish he was! Not only that, but Shaun’s hands were stuck above him, which made it impossible to stop Dr. Reznick. “COHOHOME OHON! I’M SORRY! PLEHEHEASE!” Shaun begged.

“Come on guys...He’s growing tired.” Dr. Browne tried to tell them.

But Dr. Reznick paused and checked his pulse. “Nope! He’s fine! Aren’t ya, Shaun?” Dr. Reznick teased.

Shaun had an uncontrollable smile on his face, and Dr. Andrews noticed this immediately. “Look at that man. He likes it!” Dr. Andrews reacted.

“Likes it?” Dr. Reznick asked.

“Aww, but that’s not nearly as fun…” Dr. Melendez reacted.

“Yes it is! That just makes this situation even better!” Dr. Andrews reacted. “Right Shaun?”

Shaun looked at him. “Ihi’m not tickled often. This is very fun and worth all the pranks.”

Well, didn’t that earn Shaun even more tickles!

Soon, Dr. Reznick decided to slow her fingers down, and give the boy a break. Shaun’s laughing and squirming quickly died down.

“Alright. Where should we move to next?” Dr. Renick thought aloud.

“Okay guys, I think that’s enough.” Dr. Reznick heard behind her. She turned around and her eyes locked with Dr. Park’s eyes.

“Come on, let him go.” Dr. Park ordered.

“And why should we?” Dr. Melendez asked.

“He’s exhausted, he’s sweating, he’s as red as a tomato, and he’s struggling to breath without coughing.” Dr. Park explained as he counted with his fingers. “I think he’s had enough.”

Dr. Reznick and Dr. Melendez both sighed as they let Shaun go and stood up. Shaun continued laying on the floor, gasping for air. Dr. Browne and Dr. Park walked over to Shaun to aid him.

“You okay?” Dr. Browne asked.

Shaun continued to breathe in deeply and rapidly, to ensure that he got air in his lungs sooner than later. He was letting out leftover giggles as he attempted to breath. Since he failed to talk, Shaun nodded in response.

“Holy shit! You are sweaty!” Dr. Park reacted to Shaun’s wet bangs, as they stuck to his forehead due to sweat. Shaun smiled in response and wiped his forehead. “That was fun!” Shaun declared.

Dr. Park turned around. “I- really?!” He reacted.

“Shaun likes being tickled apparently.” Dr. Melendez said.

“Huh...Looks like I have something to tease you about now.” Dr. Park decided.

More Time || A Season 3 Melendaire fic

Just a quick fic inspired by the Canadian Promo of I Love You (3x20)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neil can hear the chaos beyond the curtain. The ER, the place that is usually one of his playgrounds, is now filled with nurses running around, patients crying or moaning in pain, doctors ordering more tests. Organized chaos. He knows his team is giving their very best in this situation , and he knows deep down that the frustration of not being able to help is justified by how critically injured he is.

He’s known it. All along. He had recognized the lingering pain on his left side, the burning sensation spreading to his entire abdomen. Yet, he chose to help instead of being helped. Despite the pain irradiating his side, he knows he made the right choice. Neil eyes the perfusion on his side, checking the dosage. Not enough to knock him out, but enough to make him wait until his team brings him to surgery.  

Which should be any moment now as he hears the privacy curtain sliding along the rail. He can’t help but smile when Claire appears, sliding the curtain back in place.

“Hey, how are you feeling?” Claire asks as she reaches his side.

“Never been better,” he tries to joke, his usual side smile not quite reaching his eyes.

If Claire’s head tilt is any indication, she is not amused by his behavior.

“Neil, you should have told me what was going on,” she starts, fighting her tears. She breathes in deeply, trying to find her next words. “I made a mistake by allowing you to stay on site and I’m sor…”

“Don’t finish this sentence, please,” he interrupts her sharply. “You and I know that I made this decision. I knew the risks, Claire. I knew them and I chose to ignore your concerns. You have nothing to be sorry about.”

Claire closes her yes for a second, overwhelmed by his words. It’s been a very long night. She is as drained as any of them and she has only so much to hold on to at this very moment.

A platter full of instruments falls into the floor somewhere in the hallway, breaking the silence between the two of them.

“They are coming to get you to the OR in a few minutes. Dr Lim will perform the surgery.”

“Okay” he whispers. He reminds himself that he trusts his team with his life. Audrey. Claire. All of them.

“I…I wanted to give you this before you head to surgery.” She slides a necklace in his hand. He recognizes the familiar and comforting shape of the cross under his fingers. The necklace is small, feminine. Is that hers? He remembers her telling him she lost her faith a long time ago.

Confusion must be showing on his face as she adds “I never got rid of it. Even after everything. I’m not even sure why.” She smiles sadly, gazing at the necklace. “I thought that, maybe, someday, I could use a miracle. I… I just wanted you to have it. I know how much it matters to you...”

Hesitantly, Claire leans in towards him, her lips kissing his cheek.

“And you matter to me, Neil.”

Neil closes his eyes at the sensation, at her proximity, at the happiness she brings to him in such a horrible situation.

He slides his hand to the back of her neck, enjoying the feel of her hair against his fingers. Their foreheads touch. Neil breathes as deeply as his injuries allow him, taking this moment in as much as he can.

“Claire…” His voice breaks when the back of her hand caress his cheek.

He just hopes he has more time. That they  have more time. He wants to tell her how much she matters to him too, how he wants nothing else but to be with her despite their hierarchy, how she brings so much happiness in his life, how proud he is of her.

But Claire is already moving away from him. The curtain slides again and two nurses appear. The OR is ready for him.

Claire smiles at him as he is being taken to the OR. Neil rubs his thumb against the cross, seeking the confidence and the strength to go through the surgery.

Then, he feels it. He knows they will have more time. He will do everything in his power to make it and so will she. Neil smiles back at Claire, hoping he can deliver with his eyes what he is not allowed to express out loud right now. Claire nods, understanding him beyond words.

The last thing Neil feels when everything fades to cold and black is the warmth of the cross and the lingering sensation of Claire's kiss.

The Good Doctor

Neil Melendez x autistic & white! female reader

Warning: little break down in the middle

Specifics: romance, fluff, one-shot, autistic reader

People: neil melendez, audrey lim

Words: 1,446

Requested: By @the-gang-makes-a-tmblr (cannot tag) Oh okay it was neil and reader moving into his place as the next step in the relationship.

Authors Note: im very sappy today i guess lol this turned out verrrrryyyyyyy fluffy which is my fav. again for the millionth time to all u darlings im so srry for the wait! ༼ ༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ༽

As you looked at all your things that were packed in your old apartment you remembered when Neil had asked you to move in with him. 

It was another day in the hospital, you and him were working on a patient in surgery. As you were stitching Neil just popped the question, being truly genuine. “So I was thinking, would you like to move to the next level and move in with me?” You were in shock. Your mouth hanging open at the thought that you and Neil would be with each other almost 24/7. You do love Neil and this is what you wanted, you wanted to move to the next level. You were just scared, scared that maybe it was heading too fast, that it was changing. Maybe change was good. With your hands coated in blood you made sure not to touch Neil’s face as you brought yourself to kiss him. “Of course I’ll move in with you. I love you.”

Neil gave you a look of adornment, searching your eyes. “Okay then its settled. I’ll help you move.” He gave you another quick kiss and smiled, his dimples showing. 

“Wow,” Audrey said as she cleaned herself since the surgery ended. 

“What?”

“I’m just surprised,” she shrugged. You felt odd talking to her about your relationship with Neil. You know that the two of them have history with each other and you didn’t want any harsh feelings. “Didn’t see this coming.”

“You and me both,” you laughed. “But I feel this is the right step. I do love him and do want to spend the rest of my life with him so I think we’re going in the right direction.”

Audrey nodded, “just make sure its what you want and its not going too fast for you.”

You smiled, the excitement overwhelming you as you stashed everything in boxes and taped it up. Calling Neil on the phone you tell him your done and you can tell he is equally as excited as you. He is really happy about this and that makes you feel overjoyed and it makes you feel you are doing the right thing.

“Well I’m coming over there now, talk to you later babe. Love you.” 

You chuckled and kissed the phone, “love you more.”

You waited for him and he did end up there at your house. You didn’t have a lot of items to move since you didn’t live in such an extravagant home. It was just a tiny apartment for all your necessities. As you loaded things into his car you felt the happiness and just the feeling like you were on top of the world. 

You wrapped your arms around Neil’s broad shoulders, “I con’t believe we’re doing this.”

Neil kissed your forehead, “I know, but I couldn’t be happier. I want to spend my life with you, I want to be with you. I’m just excited to have you in my arms when we sleep and for me to make you breakfast every morning.”

You giggled at that and so did he, “or well try to do it every morning.”

You hugged him and placed your head on his chest, “I know we’ll be happy. I can’t wait for all those things too.” You kissed his neck and gave him a beaming smile. “C’mon then, lets go to your house!”

“Our house.”

Leading him into the car, you hop right in,  “right, our house.”

You were in awe of his house. It was way more high tech and big than your tiny apartment. You were amazed about everything. Feeling like a princess or a queen you were humble and acknowledged that you didn’t deserve such nice things like this. But Neil came in and reassured you that you did deserve these things and that they belonged to you now as well. You felt you were rich, this was totally going to be a new experience. 

As you two cleaned the house and got set into emptying the boxes a song came on the radio that Neil loved. 

“Oh wow, an oldy.” He chuckled as he stood up and put his hand out to you. “Would you like to dance, my beautiful lady?”

You bit your lip and nodded, “I would love to dance, good sir.”

The song To Be Loved was on. You two slow danced in the empty space that soon would be filled with your things and his combined. Neil started to sing to you, “To be loved to be loved ohhhhh what a feeling to be loved.” He sang these lyrics to you, his eyes looking in your eyes. You smiled, the last part where it cuts a little for the music, Neil dips you. Your cheeks turning into a bright pink, being this close to him. He puts his hands on your soft cheeks and brings his lips to yours. You bring your hands to his hair and push him deeper to kiss you. Your lips move in sync like if they too were dancing. “I love you y/n.”

“I love you more.”

You two ordered pizza and drank wine as you were almost finished with unpacking. As you two were taking a break where Neil was watching tv while you made dessert you stared at all your items placed in their own rightful place. Your heart started to beat fast and you were starting to have a break down. Your autism was getting the better of you. You were starting to panic to not understand and in that moment reality set in. Your world to you was moving too fast, you were scared. Your cheeks started to flush and tears started to pour out of your eyes. Neil was not alarmed until you dropped a baking pan on the floor causing a loud noise.

Neil turned his head towards you, “hey babe what happened - hey, hey whats wrong?” He was deeply concerned, by your side in seconds. His strong arms wrapped themselves around you. You cried more into his chest, feeling embarrassed and a disappointment, a nuisance. “Its okay, talk to me. Whats wrong?” He looked at your face, wiping your tears away as he kissed both your cheeks. 

“I just feel maybe this is moving too fast.” You thought Neil would be irate with you but he was calm and understanding. He nodded, “alright, now when did you start to feel this?”

“Just now, I think I was having a panic attack or something.”

“Did you feel this way this morning?” You shook your head at his question. “No, I was happy, excited. I want this.”

“You just got scared for a minute there?”

You nodded as you bit your lips, “I want his more than anything Neil. I just, reality set in and terrified me.” Neil brought you into an embrace and kissed the top of your head. “Its okay to be scared, I get scared too. Change is sometimes terrifying, to not know whats going to happen. But sometimes in life, in order to live it, sometimes we need to take a leap of faith. I’m proud of you for doing this and for accomplishing something this huge, you should be proud of yourself too. Also, just because we’re living together doesn’t mean you have to do everything I do. I won’t force you to do anything, heck not even sleep in my bed. Its on your terms, whatever makes you feel comfortable.”

You felt so happy with Neil. For once you were in a relationship where someone understood, someone cared for you. He knew the hardships of being you, with autism, life was difficult sometimes but he knows how to get you through it. “If its alright with you,” you said your voice going back to normal and you being excited again. “I would like to sleep in your bed.” Your cheeks were red, feeling bashful to ask him this. Neil gave you a warm smile and kissed you, “of course baby.”

All the boxes got unpacked and you were finally moved in with him. It was a hard day but there were more good things then bad. You two ended up taking a shower together and watching a movie in his bed. 

Your head was on his chest, his arms wrapped around you. You cuddled with him as you made small patterns on his chest with your soft fingers. “Thanks babe, for all this.” You whispered to Neil as you gave small pecks to his neck. Neil smiled and kissed your hand, “no problem sweetheart, I’m happy you moved in. I can’t wait for our days together.”

“I know its gonna be great.”

My Idiot

Dedicated to @radpeacharbiter , sorry for the long wait honey! Hope you enjoy this!

Original Prompts:

43: Don’t look at me in that tone of voice

47: My turn ons? Well I don’t know, maybe some fucking common sense

Added Prompts:

24: A - If you ever feel stupid, or weak, or powerless, just remember that I, am not. B - Thanks. A - You’re welcome.

37: Today I’m feeling cloudy with a chance of sarcastic.

46: You know, having feelings is ruining my reputation of being a heartless bitch.

In which the reader is a sarcastic little shit aka one of the residents at St. Bonaventure and has recently started a relationship with Melendez.

Warnings ⚠️: cursing

Claire was by your side as soon as you walked into the hospital lobby. You merely glanced at her and resumed the familiar path to the locker rooms, knowing your best friend wouldn’t be bothered by the lack of greetings.

“So?” Claire prompted, eyes wide as she watched you put down your bag and enter the code to your personal locker. “How did it go?”

You started humming, intent on ignoring her. Your voice was the only sound in the otherwise silent room. As expected, Claire’s impatient foot tapping quickly stated its presence.

“Okaaaay, let’s start over.” She moved closer to you and put both of her hands on your shoulders, forcing you to turn around and face her. “How are we feeling today?

“Today I’m feeling cloudy with a chance of sarcastic.” You didn’t miss a beat, blinking innocently.

Claire gave you an unimpressed look and smacked her lips together, expressing her silent disapproval. However, you weren’t affected in the slightest and turned back to your locker.

‘So damn predictable’, you thought to yourself, barely refraining yourself from shaking your head as Claire left but was back in a few seconds, Carly trailing behind her.

“Tell us!” Carly snapped once she reached your side. You chuckled, a Cheshire grin fixed on your lips.

“Ugh, you’re impossible Y/N.” Claire growled under her breath. “We know about you.”

You dropped the grin, sighing exasperatedly at your friend. “Who’s your source?”

“You.” Carly deadpanned, shoving her phone into your hands, screen unlocked. “And your Instagram account. Drunk you should really stop posting half naked pictures of your boss.”

Claire’s annoyed façade crumbled as she let out a giggle, unable to contain herself as she saw you facepalming.

“You and Dr. Melendez, huh?” Claire smirked, her voice rising in a suggestive manner as she exchanged a look with Carly.

“Don’t look at me in that tone of voice, Claire Antonia Browne,” you rolled your eyes. You really should get her a boyfriend so she would stop being so interested in your love life.

“C’mon Y/N. Give us some juice.” Carly whined, her eyes lightning up with a familiar glint. “First there was Dr. Hsiao, then Dr. Solomon and now Dr. Melendez. Is that your type? Doctors? Arrogant doctors? Tattooed doctors? Are those your turn ons? The tattoos?” The receptionist leaned forward, face just a few inches away from your own, mischief sparkling in her dark orbs.

You took a step back, folding your arms across your chest.

“My turn ons? Well I don’t know, maybe some fucking common sense. Go back to work Carly, your shift started half an hour ago.” You snapped at her. Seriously, what was up with all these nosy females who claimed to be her best friends?

“No need to be so defensive sweetheart.” Carly raised her hands in a gest of surrender, smirking at you.

“Better leave her alone.” Claire shared a satisfied smile with their curly haired friend. “We already got all the answers we needed.”

“Which were none!” You yelled at their backs, watching them skipping happily out of the locker room.

As you turned around, you were faced with a smirking Dr. Lim and Dr. Andrews. Choosing to ignore the knowing looks the two women sported, you quickly made your way down to the ER.

***

Later, you were cuddling with Neil on his couch, rewatching Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

“Ready to talk now?” Neil rubbed your back as the credits rolled on the TV screen.

“You know, having feelings is ruining my reputation of being a heartless bitch.” You told him, staring pensively into the now black screen.

“Your reputation? What about mine? I’m supposed to be the dickhead who’s not even a proper human being,” he shook his head, a smile dancing on his lips as you shifted your gaze to him.

“Yeah, I don’t really care about yours,” you shrugged, shooting him a pointed look, “just feeling sad for myself, now I have to start caring for people.”

Neil sat up straighter on the couch, letting you slide off him, “If you ever feel stupid, or weak, or powerless, just remember that I, am not,” he gave you a cheeky wink.

“Jeez, thanks, bae,” you tilted your head and grinned at him, feeling as if you could burst with joy at the familiar banter.

“You’re welcome,” Neil bopped your nose and pecked you on the lips.

“Are we just a couple of jerks who are attracted to each other?” You asked him, snuggling closer to his larger frame as Neil draped an extra blanket around you.

“I believe you mean we are a couple of attractives who are jerked to each other.” Neil laughed, nuzzling your neck.

“You’re such an idiot.” You giggled, tracing patterns on his bare chest with your fingertips.

“At least I’m your idiot.” Neil kissed the crown of your head. “Go to sleep now, beautiful.” He mumbled, closing his eyes.

“My idiot.” You whispered in the dark, feeling comforted and safe in his arms.

Neil Melendez x reader

it starts so cliche.

Your rushing and your not looking and of course you've got four coffees in your hand for your team and your rushing until something stops you.

Or more like someone.

"Oh shit I'm so -

The person clears his throat before chuckling

"It's okay" he smiles genuinely

You look up from the floor to see his white coat stained brown and you look back down cringing because could this day get any worse?

"Hey" he causes you to look up

"I'm having such a bad day and this is so embarrassing and it's not even 8.30 and my boss is gonna kill me and oh my god I'm late" you tumbled out before abruptly getting to your feet and sprinting down the hallway.

"sorry!" you yelled down the corridor

Leaving the Dr chuckling to himself, forgetting he was drenched in coffee.

You make it only slightly late and your boss is only slightly pissed off thankfully. Working in the legal department, you had to run up 5 flights of stairs because of course the lift was out of order.

After dealing with the fallout of a doctor telling a rude patient to essentially fuck off you shut your computer down and rubbed your temples.

Coffee you thought

You opened your door to almost knock out the person about to walk in

For the second time today

"what do you want" you said huffing

"well I was-

"what did you do? Because I swear if I have to turn back that computer on then your not going to want to stick around because I have not had my coffee yet and it's 3pm and I'm not getting out of here for at least 4 more hours so I swear doctor if you have done anything to cause me a headache then ill show you what a bloody headache is! "

He stood there with a smirk on his face

"what?" you whined, folding your arms

"I brought you coffee, you know, for earlier" he hands you the cup you'd failed to notice.

"Oh" you whisper

"You wanna take a walk"? He questioned, holding out his arm for you

"I really should be getting back and -

"You need to get out of this office, this stress is not good for your heart and trust me, I know, I'm the heart guy" he winked before leaning into you and your head spun because what was he doing for him to reach the door handle and pull it shut, whilst smirking obviously.

"Come on darling, let's get some air" he whispered and your heart sped up and shit because he's the heart guy what if he could hear it? No of course not.

You wandered round the hospital gardens for a while, you could feel the tension leaving your body and you geniunley enjoyed his company.

"So, heart guy, you gotta heart girl?" you questioned

"Nope, not yet" he said

You smiled inside at his answer

"I don't have anyone either, I did, but they broke my heart and I don't think I'll ever get some of the pieces back" you said, a bit sad

"well, y/n" he stopped and twirled you around holding your waist

"Dr melendez what are you doing" you laughed

"I'm the heart guy, remember? so, how bout I mend that heart of yours hey?"

Your eyes went wide before he leaned in for a kiss and you gladly kissed him back. One arm around your waist while the other held the back of your head.

Eventually, he broke the kiss.

"is that a yes?" he whispered, leaning his forehead on yours.

"mhmm, yes" you smiled.

 Anon requested: i got you fam - neil melendez x reader but like 70% angst, 30% fluff. rest is up to you :)

A/N: Two stories in one day, this is getting crazy. Also not 400 words but 1700(oops) 

Falling for a surgeon was probably never a good idea just thinking about the long days and crazy hours. But being a nurse and falling for the top surgeon was probably even a worse idea. The two of them had gotten along the moment y/n set foot into the hospital as a new nurse. She had learned so much from him and he always seemed to pick her for the surgeries whenever he could. But for her own good y/n had decided this needed to stop, she was on her way to make some great progress career and even gotten a job offer in a more specialized hospital. Y/n had been hesitant to take it but she also knew she couldn’t let her feelings for Neil Melendez get in the way of that. 

Y/n was busy going through a couple files when Neil leaned against the desk “Morning y/n.” “Good morning Dr. Melendez.” She coldly greeted him without looking up He got a little thrown off by her sudden change in behavior but continued either way “I have an interesting surgery on my schedule next week and I want you to be there.” “I’m afraid I won’t be able to do that Dr. Melendez.” Y/n told him, finally looking up from the files. “Why not?” “Because that is my only day off next week.” “Can’t you change shifts? “No I can’t. I might have to plan my whole schedule around you, but luckily I don’t have to do that in my private life.” Y/n knew it was not fair at all to say something like that and she didn’t mean a word of it, but she needed to do something to get some distance from him and this seemed a good step. “Okay then, I’ll see you later y/n.” He excused himself, everything from his posture showed his confusion from the way she had just spoken to him. Jasmine, one of the older nurses chuckled “I’ve never seen dr. Melendez so shaken, I don’t know what you do to him but he really has the hots for you.” “I don’t know what you’re talking about Jasmine.” Y/n got up from her seat and went to check on her patients.  Behaving like this was nothing like her, but she tried to convince herself that she needed to create some distance between her and Neil to be able to move on.

The week whole week had been a challenge for her, she tried to keep Neil at a distance and had to fight the urge to apologize and tell him how she really felt. Y/n tried communicate with the Residents and Dr. Lim to avoid him as much as possible. Of course people noticed her change in behavior, but barely anyone tried to figure out why. Alex and Claire tried to get something out of her when they went out for drinks but they quickly realized she wasn’t spilling anything. Y/n did tell them about the job offer she had gotten and they both were really excited for her. After they finished Alex walked her home and started talking again “What is holding you back?” “What you mean?” Alex shook his head “The offer is a great opportunity, but something is holding you back.” “It’s nothing Alex, I just need some time to think. It’s a big decision.” “It is.” Alex agreed “But you want to take it, that’s why your behavior changed. Look you don’t have to tell me what it is, all I know is that pushing people away is not going to make this decision easier.”

The next morning y/n was called early, Jasmin had called in sick and they needed someone to fill in for the operation Melendez had told y/n about the week before. With a healthy dose of reluctance she got out of bed and got ready for work. Neil had been right, this surgery was a great opportunity. Not only the surgery was an interesting one, but the patient as well he was some criminal who was both a flight risk and dangerous. Would it been two weeks earlier y/n would be the most excited one there, but things were different now.  “Nurse l/n I’m surprised to see you here, I thought your schedule wasn’t revolved around me.” Neil remarked when he saw her in the OR. “I’m here because Jasmin got sick and someone had to fill in for her Dr. Melendez.” Y/n remained professional, pretending she didn’t hear the angry undertone in his voice. “Alright then.” Without to many more words the team started the operation, Melendez communicated as little as he could with her

Y/n was placed in charge of the care around their patient, protocol stated he was kept handcuffed to his bed, communication mostly went through the intercom and they could never go in the room alone. The officers were guarding the room in case something happened. Everything seemed normal he had woken up, still weak but he responded to all the test, his vital signs were steady and so it looked like she was going to get home on time. Y/n got up to do a final check on the patient “How are you feeling? Is there anything I can get you before the next shift takes over?” Y/n waited a moment  for the man to respond but he didn’t. “Sir, do you hear me?” y/n tapped on the window to see if he’d respond but he didn’t. “Page Dr. Park and Dr. Melendez please.” Y/n called to the nurse station She opened the door to see what was wrong, completely forgetting protocol. “Sir are you alright?” she checked the machines but the vital signs seemed completely normal. She checked his pulse, but when she did she noticed his cuff wasn’t on there. Before she did much as look up she felt multiple punches. She hit her head against the floor as she fell down, but before things could get worse, Park, Melendez and the two officers pulled him away from her. “Claire take care of y/n, now!” Melendez called before sedating the man. Claire helped her up and got her out of the room and into another to treat her. Alex soon followed and told a nurse to prep for both x-ray of her chest and a ct-abdomen. Not much later Dr Melendez stormed into the room “What were you thinking?!” Neil started to yell at her “You knew the protocol!” “Neil.” Claire tried “He wasn’t responding, I did what I thought I needed to do.” Y/n calmly responded, her head was still pounding, her arm hurt and she noticed she had some trouble breathing. “Why didn’t you wait until one of us was there?” Park tried to be the voice of reason between the two of them. “You knew he was dangerous, you knew you shouldn’t go in alone and what you did was stupid!” Neil yelled again. “Why don’t you keep an eye on him next time, if you know it all so well.” “I don’t know what I did to you to deserve this attitude this past week, but you better get it together! You know better than this.” y/n tried to ignore the desperate undertone in his voice “Don’t worry about that Dr. Melendez, I won’t be your problem for very much longer.” “What?” “I’ve been offered a job at another hospital and I’ve just decided to take it.” Y/n tried to get up from the bed, she needed to get away from him before she would do something stupid. “Y/n stop you need to stay in bed, we still have to see if there is internal damage.” Alex tried to get her back into the bed. She tried to push him away but the last thing she felt was the cold floor before her whole world went dark.

Y/n woke up to soothing sound of the monitors, only to realize the monitors were not a normal sound to wake up to. As she opened her eyes it took a minute to realize what had happened. She looked at the clock which was on 3 o’clock and judging by the darkness she saw through the window it was the middle of the night. “You’re awake.” She looked to the other side of her bed, not realizing he had been sitting there holding onto her hand “What are you doing here?” “You collapsed right in front of me, you didn’t think I’d just leave did you?” “I’m sorry.” “Don’t  be.” He assured her “You made a mistake that’s all, I’m just glad that you’re okay now.” “I meant for my behavior this week, I thought it would make it easier for myself to push you away.” She confessed “Would make what easier? Taking that job offer?” Neil was a little confused “You know I’d never hold you back, right? Park told me about it, it’s an amazing opportunity and you deserve it.” “I know you wouldn’t hold me back.” y/n removed her hand from his “But I would hold myself back, because of my feelings for you.” Maybe it were the drugs in her system that made it so easy to tell how she felt or maybe it was the fact that she was just attacked but she wasn’t afraid anymore. “Why didn’t you tell me?” “I was to scared to ruin our friendship, I know it’s such a cliché.” Neil couldn’t help but laugh “I don’t care if it’s cliché or not, I wish you told me sooner.” He took her hand in his once again. “Because I could have put your mind at ease, I like you y/n. I might even go as far as to say that I love you.” “Are you serious?” “I am.” He promised “And that doesn’t change if you take another job. It anything it would make things easier, since we wouldn’t have any problems with HR.” Y/n laughed for a short moment before wincing in pain “We’ll talk about this later over a dinner, okay? Right now you have to rest and get better.”

Add yourself to my taglist!

Masterlist

What did you just say to me?!” You lifted your head at the loud voice, laying the clipboard you had previously stared at to the side to find out what was going on.

“I called you an asshole, because that’s what you are!” It was Jared. Oh no.

You rounded a corner to find him in the middle of the ER, a middle aged man standing closely in front of him. They were staring at each other with such intense resentment that you knew it was only a matter of seconds until the situation would escalate.

“Hey!”, you called to get their attention as you hurried over to them, but they didn’t seem to be aware of you. Other patients were starring now, watching the situation unfold with curiosity and fear. You gestured towards a nurse, signalling her to get security, just in case. You didn’t think Jared would let himself get involved in a fight while he was on shift, but you didn’t want to take a risk either.

You had nearly reached them as you saw the man whispering something towards your co-worker, too quiet for you to hear. Whatever he had said, it had been enough for Jared to lose his temper. “Jared no!”, you yelled, grabbing onto his coat just as the tall man lunged forward.

He landed a good punch at the man in front of him, who immediately reacted. Chaos erupted around you, distracting you for a moment. A second later something hit you in the face, sending you tumbling backwards.

Pain shot through your nose and eye as you brought a hand up to your face, covering it out of an instinct, as if it would help to soothe the pain. You realized it must have been Jared’s elbow hitting you, as he had pulled back for another punch. He didn’t seem to have realized it, too caught up in the fight.

Security arrived along with other doctors who had realized what was going on. You could make out Dr. Andrews and Dr. Melendez upon them, helping to break off the fight by tearing the two men away from each other.

Everything had happened so fast, it could have only been a matter of seconds and your brain was trying to keep up with it.

You watched as security brought the man outside, who was struggling against their grip and yelling insults. Jared was breathing heavily, his face still twisted in anger as Dr. Andrews tried to talk him down.

You were still in shock, your heart pounding rapidly in your chest as you stood by and watched them helplessly. Your vision had gone slightly blurry, so you could only make out a silhouette as you saw someone walking up to you.

When he came closer you realized it was Dr. Melendez. Relief washed over you. His calm demeanour and rational thinking always helped to ground you.

“What happened?” His voice was firm and stern. Just like he sounded when he talked to his patients, if it wouldn’t have been for the edge of worry you could make out. “Got hit by Jared’s elbow”, you muttered, hoping he wouldn’t give you a lecture, telling you that you shouldn’t have gotten involved.

But he seemed to sense it wasn’t the right time, because he let out a sigh instead, the frown on his forehead deepening. “Come one, I’ll have a look on it”, he stated, placing his hand gently on your lower back to guide you to a room.

You knew the gesture meant nothing to him, but the touch still send a shiver of warmth through your body. “I’m fine”, you argued, knowing how busy he was and not wanting to occupy his time. You couldn’t see his expression, but you were sure he was rolling his eyes at you. “You aren’t. Now come on.”

Now you were the one to sigh but you let him walk you to an examination room. You sat down while Neil closed the door, locking out the noise of the busy ER. The silence that followed was soothing yet terrifying. You had been alone with Neil before, but never in a room with closed doors. You shuddered at how intimate it felt.

Neil turned back towards you, getting himself a roller stool so he was sitting right in front of you. You had never been so close before, his eyes starring directly at your face. Carefully he reached out, touching your hand and you realized you were still covering your face with it.

“Sorry”, you mumbled, letting it fall into your lap and you saw his lips curve into a small smile before his eyes filled with concern. You stayed silent as he inspected your face, not daring to move as his delicate fingers travelled over your skin.

Suddenly you felt empathy for every patient of his. How could they bear his eyes on them, the closeness, his touch? He was professional, but it was impossible not to notice his good looks. Did they feel just as flustered when he looked at them like this? The intensity behind his gaze nearly felt unbearable, making you feel completely exposed.

You tried not to stare at him while his eyes were fixed on your face, but you couldn’t look away. You had never been so close to him, and you doubted you would ever get the chance again, so you felt the urge to memorize every detail of his face. 

The way his eyes narrowed as he concentrated on the task before him, the deep frown between his brows, the way his lips curved as he pretended not to notice your staring. You adverted your eyes to your hands, feeling caught. You could feel your cheeks heat up and hoped he didn’t feel it too.

“Am I gonna die?”, you joked as the tension grew unbearable. Neil leaned back, his eyes twinkling. “You’ll live.” You let out a long breath, pretending to be relieved over the news while covering up the way the moment had affected you.

“It will leave a nasty bruise though. You should put ice on it.” You nodded, even though both of you were aware that the information wasn’t new to you, considering you were a resident. 

“Does your head hurt?”, Neil asked as he observed you now with distance between the two of you. He was serious again and you could see that he wasn’t pleased. It would only be a matter of time until a lecture would follow. You groaned on the inside as you thought of it.

You were tempted to brush it off, but the way Neil raised his brows at you told you he would not buy a lie. “I’m not getting a head CT if that’s what you’re asking”, you settled on instead. You knew Neil was worried about you and you didn’t want to give him another reason to be.

The idea that he was worried send a wave of excitement through you, but you tried to ignore it. He was your boss. Of course, he was worried, if something happened to one of his residents. He would probably act just the same if it was Claire sitting in front of him.

A lump formed in your throat, and you gulped it back down. You were being ridiculous. Neil was just being professional and taking his behaviour any other way wasn’t fair to you or him.

“I am not going to order you to get a head CT for a bad hit. I am not Shaun”, Neil stated, standing up now. You followed him, wobbling a bit on your feet. 

“But I am ordering you to take the day off-” “What?! No!” Neil raised his brow at you again. “That was a nasty hit you took there. It will definitely leave a black eye and the headache will only get worse.”

You pressed your lips into a thin line, clearly unhappy with his order but knowing he was right. You couldn’t treat patients while walking around holding an ice pack to your face and you couldn’t fully concentrate when your head felt like it was about to burst.

“You’re going home.” His voice suggested there was no room for discussion. Not that you would have tried. He was your boss after all, and you had to obey to his orders. But being reminded of it after the vulnerable moment you had just shared felt like a punch to the stomach.

"Get some rest”, he added more gently as he saw your disappointed face.

“Fine.” You smoothed down your scrubs and walked past him. But before you could open the door, an uprising thought held you back.

You turned back to Neil, his eyes locking with yours immediately. “What will happen to Jared?” You could see his face harden and your stomach sank. “He didn’t mean to do that. He didn’t even realize it”, you tried to defend him. You didn’t even want to imagine the consequences he would have to face.

Neil sighed, clearly unhappy with your reasoning. “It’s not my call to make.  He attacked a patient. The directorate will decide about it.” You nodded, the impact of what had happened beginning to dawn on you. Jared could get fired. He had physically assaulted a patient in the middle of the ER. It would be a miracle if he would be allowed to keep his job.

“The guy said something to him though. You know Jared. He wouldn’t have attacked someone just like that.” Neil looked at you thoughtfully. “Did you catch what he said?” You sighed in defeat. “No.” 

“Then there’s nothing you can do for him now.” It was the truth, but a part of you still refused to leave. “Can you tell him I forgive him?” You knew you were walking on dangerous territory right now but leaving like this seemed wrong. It wasn’t Neil’s duty to deliver Jared a message from you, but you really wanted him to know. 

A part of you hoped that Neil didn’t seem himself just as your boss and wouldn’t mind the favor. In the time you worked here you had gotten to know him a little. You had been there when he had gone through the breakup with Jessica. Neil was private, always focused on keeping up a professional attitude, but sometimes in the late hours of the night you two would talk.

You would be bent over books together, trying to find a solution for a problem you were facing. It was nearly peaceful, the silence that filled the air while you were reading through medical books. You were both too deep into your work to acknowledge the other, but you knew you weren’t alone and that meant more than you could put into words. 

Then even the most unattainable obstacle didn’t feel impossible to solve, didn’t make you feel hopeless and lonely. 

And sometimes Neil would break the silence after a while. When he realized he needed a break, his thoughts wandering back to his own life, he would look up at you, all absorbed in your reading. In moments like this he would allow himself to look at you, really look at you. 

In the quiet of the night, the distance he always had to keep towards you suddenly seemed forgotten. Meaningless. It was just you and him, a few books and too many thoughts and feelings bottled up inside of him. 

He was tired and exhausted, frustrated by the problem and his incapability to focus. Before you could find him starring at you, he would break the silence, tell you something that kept him from fully committing to the task at hand.

Once that had been imagining a life without being a father. Then it had been about letting someone you loved go. In the beginning it had been purely for that reason, helping him get it off his chest so he could concentrate better. It had been purely selfish, a way to make him feel better. 

You had always been a good listener. He had noticed that about you from the very beginning. The way you listened to your patients, how you found time to get to know them better and talk to them. It seemed to come easy to you, because it wasn’t something you had to learn. It came naturally to you, because it was who you were. You cared. 

While it certainly raised red flags in his head from time to time that you cared so much for your patients, he had learned to use your gift for your patients best interest. If they were too stubborn or too scared to agree to a required treatment, he could count on you to convince them otherwise. 

He was arrogant and he was selfish. It had only been a matter of time until he had seeked your advice just the same as they did. But had it only been for his own benefit in the beginning, he hadn’t expected to begin to care too. He couldn’t remember when something had shifted, when he had started to talk to you because he really wanted to know your opinion, your thoughts, your advice.

Now he wanted to talk to you, because he wanted you to know. And worst of all, he wanted to know you, get to know you, learn everything there was to know about your life and who you were.

You had offered him glimpses so far. It felt ridiculous how desperate he was for them. 

But in the light of the day, it was easier to bury his feelings. It was easy being your boss, keeping up a professional demeanour. What made it hard was the moments he overheard you talking to the others. Another glimpse of who you were and what your life was like, yet he had to force himself to walk away. 

You could see your question had surprised him in the way his brows shot up and he tilted his head to the side to gaze at you in wonder. “Are you serious? You’re going to forgive him, just like that?”, he asked incredulously.

You nodded, drawing your brows together at his reaction. You had expected him to say something, but about the fact that he was your superior and not your decision to forgive Jared. 

“He hurt you”, Neil emphasized, his tone a little louder now. “He didn’t mean to. His day is bad enough already. Right now, he probably fears losing his job. I don’t want to add to his list of things to worry about.”

Neil stayed silent, his frustration with you visible in the way his jaw was clenched, and the tension lingered in his shoulders. “I guess we’re gonna have the talk right now”, he heaved, and you flinched. “The talk?” 

Your heart sped up as you imagined what he could mean. Had you done something wrong? Made a mistake? Were you being unprofessional? Did he know about your feelings for him? Were you that obvious?

Whatever it was he wanted to talk about, it seemed to have been on his mind for a while now. And it wasn’t anything good judging by his stern tone and the wrinkle on his forehead.

You walked back into the room, sitting down in case your legs would decide to give up. Holding onto the fabric of the treatment bed grounded you as you waited anxiously for him to speak.

“You care.” You drew your brows together, not getting what he was trying to say. “So?” Neil let out a breath. “You care too much. In this job you can’t let yourself feel for every patient. It will break you.”

You were caught off guard by his words. You hadn’t tried to hide the empathy you felt for your patients, but it never had gotten in the way of your job. Neil had known it all along, so why address it now? Had the other doctors said something to him? Did they think you weren’t made for this job, because you were too involved?

“Isn’t that my decision to make?”

Your head was spinning with thoughts, and you gulped, feeling a little defensive. Caring wasn’t a bad thing. You couldn’t imagine doing your job without feeling for your patients. Or worse, using it to manipulate people, like other doctors did. You didn’t want to become such a doctor, such a person.

When you thought about it, you doubted you were even capable of it. It was a part of who you were, and you had always thought of it as a good thing. Now that Neil was looking at you with a frown, you suddenly felt insecure about it.

He clasped his hands together. “I am your supervisor. It’s my job to tell you, to make sure you won’t get hurt, because you will in the end, if you continue like this.” You were taken aback again, the dread in your stomach growing. 

You admired Neil for his demeanour. He effortlessly switched between being distant and authoritative to compassionate and empathetic all while staying professional. You knew he cared for his patients much more than he let on. 

Apart from that they took advantage of your empathy. If it came to convincing a patient to agree to a procedure or talk to them, all eyes would fall on you. Neil had counted on your skills to change a patients mind multiple times. What was different now? 

But you knew you couldn’t ask him all of this. “I don’t get what that has to do with this”, you settled on, not wanting to argue with your boss right now. His eyes narrowed for a moment, and you knew you had struck a nerve.

Neil was always composed. Always calm and collected. Of course, you had seen him upset before, angry or frustrated, but he had never lost his temper. Now you could see the heat in his eyes and a part of you wondered if he would let it out.

But the tension didn’t leave his body. Instead, he clenched his jaw, raising his voice as he spoke. 

“Jared hurt you, but you say it’s fine. You’re always there for everyone, listening and giving them advice. But what about you? When do you think about yourself? You can’t always put everyone else first.” 

You flinched at his loud and harsh voice, but just as much over his words. Why would he get so riffled up over this, so upset over something that didn’t have anything to do with him or the job for that matter? 

“I can’t help it”, you whispered truthfully. Neil’s gaze softened immediately, and he released his hands, which had been balled into fists. He took a step closer to you and you watched with big eyes, not sure what to expect from him. 

He had surprised you many times today already.

“You should have someone who looks out for you. Someone who puts you first.” His voice was gentle when he spoke, so low that you weren’t sure you could trust your own ears. 

His brown eyes were filled with a warmth you had only seen a few times before, once when he had saved a mother’s life and her children had hugged him. But never would you have expected it to be directed at you. Your heart melted and you blinked, hoping he couldn’t see how much his words had touched you.

But it wasn’t just that he was looking out for you, thinking about your wellbeing. In his words, the way he had said them, was an underlying meaning. If you hadn’t known better, you would have assumed he was talking about himself, offering to be that person for you. 

But that couldn’t be it. He was far out of your reach. You only heard what you wanted to hear. 

Neil cleared his throat, straightening up and the emotion cleared from his face. “You should really get some ice for your eye”, he lightened up the atmosphere. It took you a moment to adjust to the quick change of topics, but you nodded, putting on a polite smile as you hoped down the bed.

“Thanks, for taking care of me- I mean my eye, gosh.” Your face heated up and you saw Neil grin in amusement. “Anytime.”

And you knew he meant it. 

Maybe you hadn’t been wrong, and he really wanted to be that person for you. Whatever it was, you were determined to find out. His words had showed you that he was much more attentive than you had expected, thought about you more than you had dared to hope.

Maybe it was time to do just what he had said, put yourself first and find out if there was a chance for the two of you.

Shaun Murphy x Sister!reader - To see you happy

Hello could you do Shaun Murphy x younger sister. The reader dating Neil Melendez and its secret. But when they decide to tell anyone, Shaun act protective brother, like he doesn't agreed to their dating and even the threatened him. He even gave Neil The Talk (cause he doesn't want the r feels the heartbreak) and the whole staff including, Melendez and glassman we're shock and realize this is only one time Shaun really felt normal human being. Fluff and some angst pls 😉😘😘😘 - Anon❤️

You nervously fiddled with your shirt as you stood outside Shaun’s flat, he had invited everyone over to drink and talk, and you and Neil decided it would be best to tell them all you were dating.

“Hey, just breathe, it’s okay.” Neil said gently.

You took a breath and nodded your hand, lacing your fingers with his quickly before letting go and knocking on the door.

“I just hope Shaun is okay with it.”

“Shaun’s a big boy now, he can accept it.”

You gave Neil a disapproving looked and he gave you an apologetic one.

The door open and Shaun stood there with a smile on his face as he stepped aside.

“You came.” He smiled.

“Of course I did Shauny!” You laughed.

You ruffled Shaun’s hair, making him smile even more and stepped into the flat, followed by Neil and Shaun who trialed behidn you both.

“Everyone is already here.”

You smiled sweetly at your brother and watched as he wondered back over to Dr Glassman. Claire, Jared, Lim, Alex and Morgan where all there too.

“Look who’s finally arrived.” Jared teased.

You laughed and walked over to him, Claire and Morgan and took a seat with them all.

“It’s nice of Shaun to have us all.” Claire smiled.

“Yeah, he’s really trying, I’m proud of him.”

You looked at your brother before turning back to them all.

“He’s making an effort, it’s good for him.” Morgan agreed.

You nodded and hummed along, jumping out of your skin when a glass appeared in front of your face. You flicked your gaze up to Neil and took it from him with a warm smile, your face heating with embarrassment.

“Thanks.”

“Welcome.” He smiled back.

Neil took a seat next to you. Claire narrowed her eyes and glanced between you both.

Glassman, Alex and Shaun all came over. Glassman and Alex sat in front of you with the others, and Shaun sat on the floor next to you, looking up.

“There HAS to be something going on between you two.” She muttered.

“Maybe there is.” Neil smirked.

Neil slipped his arm around your shoulder and pulled you a little closer into his side as you tried to fight your blush.

Her face lit up with shock and excitement.

“No way!” She gushed.

You raised your head defensively.

“Yes, Neil and I are dating. We thought we’d tell you all together while you’re together.”

“Congratulations.” Glassman smiled.

You beamed warmly at him, scratching the back of your head sheepishly.

“Thanks!”

“I think you two work well together, you suit each other.”

“Thank you Morgan.” Neil replied.

“Yeah, and we finally don’t have to see you two pinning after each other.” Alex laughed.

The others laughed and you turned to Shaun who was staring between you and Neil. You frowned and slid from your chair, kneeling in front of your brother.

“Shaun?” You asked softly.

Everyone went quiet, Shaun stared at Neil and stood up. Worried, you stood up too, moving out of Shaun’s way but close enough to step in if something happened.

“No.” Shaun said.

“What?” Neil asked.

“No, you can’t date (Y/N), I won’t allow you to date her.”

Glassman stood up, placing his hand on Shaun’s shoulder.

“Shaun, you can’t decide who your sister dates.”

The others anxiously watched the scene play out.

Shaun shrugged Glassman off and glared and Neil, balling his hands into fists. You tooks his hands and held them there, stepping in front of him and Neil.

“Shaun...” you whispered, “it’s okay...”

“It’s not okay!” Shaun argues, “what if he hurts you?”

Now it made sense, shaun was worried Neil was going to hurt you.

“Shaun, trust me. Hurting (Y/N) is the last thing I want to do.” Neil said calmly.

You searched Shaun’s face, but he still glared at Neil. Shaun took his hands from yours and moved in front of you protectingly, his head hel high as he stared down Neil.

“(Y/N) has been hurt, she’s been hurt a lot. I don’t like seeing (Y/N) hurting, I don’t like seeing her sad. (Y/N) should be happy, she deserves to be happy, does Dr Melendez make you happy?”

“Yes Shaun, he does.” You replied softly.

Shaun fiddled with his hands and ran his figures through his hair a little before he placed his hands back to his sides.

“If you hurt (Y/N) I will hurt you.” Shaun said darkly.

“Did you.. just threaten me?” Neil asked.

You swallowed nervously and waited for Shaun’s response.

“Yes, I did.”

It went silent, and Neil chuckled, holding his hands up.

“I have no plans on hurting her Shaun, I love (Y/N) is never hurt her.”

Shaun seemed to accept this answer because he moved out of your way and let you walk over to Neil.

Everyone turned to Shaun in pure shock and he simply smile, a smile that was directed at you, and you smiled back.

“I like seeing you happy.” Shaun laughed lightly.

You laughed back and beamed every brighter.

“I know you do Shauny!”

You all sat back down, you with Neil, this time Shaun sat next to you.

“Damn.. I didn’t know he had it in him...” Alex whispered.

“I think that was the first time I’ve seen Shaun show any sort of really anger.” Morgan muttered.

Shaun paid them no mind and turned his attention back to the TV, his hand holding the edge of your shirt like he did when you, him and Steve were together.

You played with Shaun’s hair while you rested your head on Neil’s shoulder.

Shaun respected Neil, you knew that, but you also knew that Shaun would live up to his promise to hurt Neil is Neil ever hurt you

Neil Melendez One Shots (One Shot #3: Paint)

Prompt: “The paint’s supposed to go where?” and “It could be worse.”

Summary: You and your boyfriend Neil are painting the walls of a room in a new house that you moved into, but it turns out Neil sucks at painting.

Warnings: Fluff, kissing

—

Neil walked into your new house with four heavy buckets of (favourite colour) paint cans, stumbling slightly at the weight. As soon as you saw him, you couldn’t help but laugh, which he chastised you teasingly for.

You grabbed two of the paint cans and helped him into your room you wanted to paint and put them down in the corner next to the plastic you were going to cover the carpets with.

“Never got a ‘hello’ kiss,” Neil said into your ear, making you jump slightly. You giggled and placed a kiss on his cheek, making him pout. He tapped his lips and you rolled your eyes before giving him a proper kiss. He held your head so you couldn’t move and you had to push him away to break the kiss.

You shook your head at him and held out two paint rollers. He grabbed one and popped open the lid of one of the paint cans before dipping his roller into the paint.

“Neil, no! We haven’t laid out the plastic, dumbass.”

”Don’t call me dumbass if you want my help,” he joked while helping you lay it out.

”Okay, are we ready?” He asked, holding his paint roller out like a weapon. A smile forced itself onto you face and you nodded before both of you ran to the wall and started painting furiously. You had placed a bet; whoever could paint their side the fastest owes the other a bottle of alcohol if their choosing. You didn’t want to lose, Neil had very expensive taste.

Suddenly, you felt a cold splatter on your arm and cheek. You looked at Neil, who had paint on his hands and a mischievous smirk on his face.

“Neil! The bet was to paint the walls!”

”The paint’s supposed to go where?” He asked jokingly as he ran towards you and wiped the paint from his hands onto your clothes. You gasped at him before using your roller to layer paint onto his shirt.

It inevitably ended up becoming a fight, with you two caked in the coloured paint with big smiles on your laughing faces. Somewhere along the way, you had taken a couple minutes to paint one wall, even if Neil’s side was rough and a little too thinly layered.

“It could be worse,” you laughed when you checked out his side. He shook his head and moved towards you, holding onto your waist from behind. He buried his face into your neck and you gave him a kiss on his temple, which was covered in paint. You turned around to face him and you held onto his strong shoulders as he brushed his lips against yours. The kiss slowly got more heated as Neil started roaming your body with his hands, and you felt intoxicated. He tugged your hair and kissed your neck seductively, leaving a hickey here and there. You let out a small moan and he kissed a trail up to your ear, where he spoke. “I win,” he said, and before you could react, he pushed you against the wall with the wet paint. You squealed at the freezing feeling and he ran out the door, not wanting you to hit him. You chased after him downstairs to the kitchen, but you didn’t see him there. “Neil, come out... I won’t hurt you if you own up to your mistakes,” you said out loud. You heard a creak of the floorboard behind you before Neil picked you up and threw you over his shoulder before running back up the stairs effortlessly. You kicked and laughed but he didn’t put you down until you made it back to the bedroom you were supposed to be painting. Neil caught his breath and gave you a look that said, ‘I’m helplessly in love with you’, and he seemed to realize that you could read him well. He smirked and moved closer to you, pressing a sweet kiss onto your forehead. --
