Medics are messy.
Or, well, the medics themselves probably shouldn't be too messy, considering they are sometimes the only thing standing between a gruesome wound and Thanatos himself. Although medics probably shouldn't perform surgery while wearing flip flops, either, so maybe that's not saying too much.
But regardless of appropriate footwear (or lack thereof), the profession itself is messy. Blood. Muscles. Organs. Bones. You name it - Will has seen and touched it all.
He can vaguely remember being a bit grossed out, in the beginning. He supposes that would be the natural human reaction when confronted with gore. Especially of the real variety. He's grown out of it, though. Plus the perks that come with his position are nothing to sneeze at.
Nico teases him for not liking horror movies, but the truth is that to Will they are just incredibly mind-numbingly boring. It doesn't matter how realistic the wounds or special effects look - hell, they could cut open a real human being and the injury still wouldn't faze him, no matter how gruesome. Because for Will, the worst part isn't the visual. That one he got used to pretty quickly, considering. It's everything else. It's the smell, putrid and overwhelming and always so horribly nauseating he swears he can taste it. It's the sound, failing organs frantically trying to fulfill their purpose in a desperate cacophany the movies can never get quite right (if they even remember to try.) It's the revolting knowledge that what you are feeling does not belong outside of a body, that it shouldn't be able to be felt like that.
They watch a bunch of horror movies anyway, because Nico knows how to press his buttons and manages to bait him into it every single fucking time.
("Please", Nico had whined in a tone he'd never dare use outside of his cabin. Maybe Will's shamelessness is contagious. Or maybe Nico knows that, without witnesses, nobody will ever believe him. "It's for the aesthetic".
Will had felt his lips contorting into a smile, even as he'd tried to keep on his mask of fake indignation. 'Aesthetic' is one of Nico's favorite words, along with 'vibe' and 'rancid'. Will kind of loves that he knows that. Nico can be as cool and badass as he wants, doesn't change the fact that he's an absolute dork as well.
"Come on, you know you're gonna give in anyways" And then, because the little shit knows what he is doing, he'd winked. And, well. Will is not too proud to admit that he is an absolute sucker for brown eyes. Especially these ones.)
He should probably be embarrassed about how easy he is, to be honest. But things like shame or propriety or even self-respect kind of go down the drain when you are perpetually exhausted and have seen basically the entirety of Camp in various states of undress. He used to think that that was the reason naked bodies didn't seem to have the same effect on him as on other people, but then the Michael-thing-that-shan't-be-mentioned happened and. Well. Let's just say Will is very aware that being a medic and having an active sex life are not mutually exclusive. Their father's slutty tendencies have been inherited by quite a lot of his half-siblings, as it turns out.
Besides, even if the movie itself is boring, Nico's reactions are hilarious. The jumpscares always get him, even if the fucker tries to deny it. And when a movie manages to really grip him, Nico will make sure to keep Will just slightly behind him. Will isn't sure whether that is a voluntary action or just instinct, but it always makes him swoon all the same. Nico is probably aware of it, freakishly observant as he is, but he never mentions it, so neither does Will. Gods forbid Nico stop doing it - that boy is jumpy even outside of shitty movies.

KABSJDHS MERA WOMANIZER AZUL X MANEATER READER IS SO FUCKING FUNNY TO ME U HAVE NO IDEA
like. reader "accidentally" lettimg a kiss mark or hickey show when around azul to mock him (maybe w an open collar) , , , while letting little comments slip about how /frigid/ Azul seems, noting that he feels so /wound up/ when speaking to them... im Screaming
the tweels (who know Very well how reader is) are just on the sidelines with smiles on their faces (well. jade has a somewhat polite smile, but a hint of teeth flashes when reader tugs their collar when remarking that the room feels so /stuffy/. floyd is just full on grinning like the bastard he is :)))
LOL YES OMG reader and Azul think they're All That, but it's actually just clown to clown communication. T_T the tweels are greatly amused with how you and Azul viciously poke and prod at one another, your teasing seeming sensual on some levels and other times it's just downright petty. Azul could lie and say he hates you, but truthfully he can't stay away from you. You're as addicting as you are annoying. Stop talking; he wants your lips all over him!!!! >:(
It's so funny because when you do undress and Azul sees all of the marks left from either twin (or both) he really shouldn't be surprised. But because he's greedy to a fault and highly competitive, he feels the need to prove something and so he wants to be the one to mark you the most. He's desperate, but then he's not so desperate as to take you in his mer form and cheat using the suckers on his tentacles. One of these days, though. <3 he may not be one for keeping promises, but there are some that are unbreakable.

I know we are still recovering from Monday, but Tax Day got me the hardest this time. I'm exactly -$870.58 in the red and I don't have any other sources of income. So I'm letting everybody know that I'm once again, open for commissions. If anybody is interested please let me know via note or if you'd rather support me in general, stop by my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MBThomas. Every bit helps.

Why do grocery stores want ppl with food sensitivities to ROT. Like oh you want 4 pieces of dairy/gluten free bread so you can. I dont know? Eat BREAKFAST,? You FOOL. Thatll be 12 dollars hand it over.
Normal oreos: 5 dollars give or take. Gluten free oreos: TEN DOLLARS. God forbid you want flour jesus christ itll cost u ur left kidney. A package of crackers??? Out of the question!!! Can't find a bag of those under 10 bucks.
Gluten free folks (me) stay starving. Rice cakes it is i guess!! Forever!

Tax prep anon here. Is it weird to say you're proud of someone you've never met? Seriously, massive congratulations on your match! Looks like today really was a fucking happy day in Hell
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 ❤️ super duper happy for uuuu
Thank you both so much! And to everyone else who left me a lovely message on my original post! I don't know if it's weird, but I really appreciate the sentiment, hahaha. Today has been a Lot and I'm happy to finally get some downtime to sit down alone at home in comfortable clothes and read some of the congratulations messages.
Match Day is such a strange experience, because you know that you're going somewhere but you have all these different expectations and hopes for wildly different places, and you don't know if you'll be moving an hour away or nine hours away or across the country! (Well, I only applied to California - but I have classmates going to New York). And you find it out all at once and get bombarded by everyone celebrating and your classmates finding out where they're going or even if they got into the specialty they wanted if they were dual-applying, etc, etc.
I'm very pleased that I'm going to be going somewhere that's not too far and with friends present, and it's also like... medical school really drags out that "becoming an adult" stage of your life, so I feel like now is the time I will finally be becoming self-sufficient and independent on top of actually getting to work as a doctor.
But also, eustress is still stress, so I'm going to go make myself a cup of tea and relax for a bit, hahaha. My social battery is, uh, in low power mode!
