WILL HALSTEAD

Right Feelings But Wrong Matchmaking

Requested: yes

Prompts: none

Warnings: Failed attempt at matchmaking eek 😬

Authors note: /

"So you're telling me they're still together?" You ask Doris.

Not even 3 hours into the morning shift and Doris already has you in her claws, ready to deliver to you the hottest tea.

"Yes and no." Doris the gossiper nurse says and takes note of your furrowed eyebrows. Sighing she joins you at the front desk to explain in detail. "Because you're new here it might be hard to read their secret looks of longing. But don't worry I'll save you the trouble. Will and Natalie are definitely still into each other. They just need a light push because they're going through a rocky patch. Which is totally normal."

You pretend to understand her bomb of words and nod enthusiastically, hoping that she doesn't catch on. Catch on what?

Your disappointment.

You could've sworn that Will had a thing for you. Thanks to Maggie the two of you have been sharing most of yours patients which simply equals spending more time together and getting to know each other.

Dr. Halstead was also the first person to greet you and show you around the mighty Gaffney Chicago Medical Center.

When you asked Will about him and Natalie he shrugged you off and told you not to worry about it. Then after that he continued to flirt with you and hang around you more than a normal colleague would.

Thanks to Doris you now, unfortunately, knew that the handsome doctor was off the market.

And thanks to your will to make good friends here, you didn't want to miss on the opportunity to help the duo reconnect. Doing that might even get you a new girl friend. Natalie seemed like a very sweet person after all.

***

"Doctor Halstead, doctor Y/LN trauma 3." Maggie paired the two of you up just like she always did.

"How bad is it?" You ask her as you walk towards the trauma room.

"A piece of cake." She simply replies.

"Then why send us both?" Will pipes in. It's not like he minded working with you... In fact, every time someone arrived he hoped for Maggie to pair you two up.

You were so amazing to him to the point you completely consumed his mind. And he liked the feeling of you invading his mind. Will didn't experience it for a while.

The nurse in charge sent you a smirk you definitely understood. The conversation with Doris flew into your mind and you called after her without thinking twice.

"Maggie wait!"

Confused about your call, Maggie walks back to you. "Could you pair me up with someone else? Please?"

"I thought you liked working with Will?" She asks confused.

"Yeah... I'm not bad company. Am I?" Will joins.

"You're not... I just... I don't wanna get in between you!" There! You said it. It's out of your hands now.

"In between who?" Maggie asks. She's very interested in the love triangles around the ED.

Shyly you look towards Natalie who's talking to April by the computers. Will and Maggie follow your lead.

"And that's my que to go." Maggie says but before she leaves she turns to you. "Who told you that?"

"Wha-" Before you can protect the secret identity of Doris you notice the look in Maggie's eyes. "Doris."

"Well that explains a lot of things." Maggie mumbles whilst shaking her head. She leans in and whispers something into Will's ear. It makes his smile reach his ears. "I'll leave you to two to talk. Doctor Rhodes you're on trauma today so you listen to me! Now, do me a favour and check on the patient in trauma 3!"

And just like that your patient is snatched from your grasp, curtesy of yours truly. You notice the small wink and smirk Maggie sends your way before she shashays away from you.

"I-" You're lost for words once again. Not because of shock but because of embarrassment. You just tried to play matchmaker and failed terribly.

Your blood travels all the way to your cheeks at the thought. Things with you and Will are 100% screwed right now.

Or so you thought.

"Come." William's voice brings you out of your trans and his extended hand puts you back in it.

"Uh..."

"Y/N you seem so loss for words today." He chuckles before taking the matters into his own hands. He leans in and grabs your hands before waltzing out of the ED and into the Chicago air with you in tow.

You let him drag you around until you've reached the food truck you always visit when on a break.

"Will we're not on a break." You try to fight him but he doesn't budge. Instead he orders the food, completely confident in his choice.

"Will how did you-" You ask him. He just ordered what you've been ordering since you started to work at Med.

"I don't get how you believed what Doris told you but at the same time I do," He ushures you to the side while you wait for your order to finish. "You're new and you didn't know that whatever Doris says is usually a bunch of crap. But also things with me and Natalie might seem fresh but they aren't, trust me."

You stuff your hands into your front pockets and listen to his words carefully. "Natalie and I are in the past. I don't want you to think that I've been unfaithful to her by spending time with you."

It did cross your mind. You decide to keep that detail to yourself for the time being.

"I like you Y/N." He confesses. "The more time I spend with you the more sure I am in my feelings...You're beautiful, smart and kind. And I think you're amazing because of that?"

"You're really serious about this?"

"I wouldn't be sneaking out with you during work hours if I wasn't."

Not knowing what to do with this sudden burst of joy and relief you decide to do what you do best. Give hugs.

Just like a high school girl whose crush just confessed to her, you swing your arms around Will's neck and pull him in a tight embrace.

All while thanking the starts for his and Natalie's departure as a couple. Whoops.

Once you pull away he asks you, "What do you say I give you a grand tour of Chicago? Tonight?"

"Yeah I'd like that. I'd like that very much Will."

DFJGLKJFGK YES THOSE GARGOYLES BELOVED I TOO RAGE QUIT ON THE GARGOYLE DUO </3 i've never felt more betrayed in my life than when i got halfway thru the first one only for the second to quite literally drop on my skull 😭 only for that same thing to happen so many times i was like im LEAVING 😭😭 im so glad for the subtle guiding they give in elden ring bc YEAH AGAIN WITHOUT GUIDANCE I SKIPPED THE FIRST HALF OF THE GAME AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN STOP ME IN DS1 😭

im shocked that it's new players who have trouble with the timing on margit and other enemies tbh :o after playing the other games i'd say it was a hard learning curve for me bc i was used to the pretty constant and QUICK attack timings from the previous games, at least in ds3 and bloodborne! margit broke me out of that but the timing initially was a curveball for me since i was used to shorter attack lengths </3 but now that i think about it i think my biggest struggle when trying ds2 was that the attack timings were so insanely different from the first game that i just had the worst time of my life lkdjfslkddjf something FS loves to do is throw learning curve bosses at you and i'd say that's kinda was margit felt like! kinda like them teaching you the mechanics in full and showing off the timings for you to observe and learn while not being overly aggressive it felt like a good balance to me <3

im hearing that about radahn too? i did him before the patch myself and again i think i just got super lucky bc he was rather slow and didn't do many big attacks for me so i had lots of opportunity and was a bit overleveled for him 😭 i think a majority of my struggles with bosses so far have simply been me going in underleveled so the attacks are far more punishing :') don't worry the real damn challenge will def come! i hear malenia is FARRRR worse than him and they don't have any plans on patching her so LDKSFJK eek <3

it's funny you mention looking for the dectus medallions bc i literally JUST found my second half when i played earlier tonight i was like omg?! i forgot about u!? the carian study hall omg yes i really love that place!! i think they did so well with all the scenery and landscapes like it's so nutty to me that they put SO much detail into every single place like they all feel so nice and unique except for some enemies lkfjslfkd i've been going on another run through caelid bc i kinda beelined for radahn and did nothing else but! i just beat rykard! altho i beat the two bosses in leyndell before doing that bc i did it out of order slkfjsl so technically i have to go to another lift i think it's called rold?? but then i have another other one so right now i have 3 halves of 3 separate medallions but just got my other half for dectus so i guess im going there first 😭

if im honest im still quite lost about the actual story bc some dude is telling me that golden order good, then another lady is saying they're bad, then another is telling me to burn everything, then some other guy is telling me they're all wrong and im just very like WHO IS RIGHT!! what i've gathered so far is that the two fingers (whoever that is i think it's a god??) wants someone to collect the shards of the elden ring but all the current holders of the shards don't want to give their pieces up to each other and they refuse to fight each other as well? except malenia and radahn fought but apparently both lost and neither lost their shard? once i went through leyndell and got to the final boss in that area they unleashed a whole new flurry of information that made things more confusing to me tho 😭

but gosh yes the TOWER <3 im so in love with the towers that one and there's another that matches it but i can't remember the name ?? it's so hard to find info on lore and backstory right now im guessing since everything is still so new <//3 but right now im exploring this rather creepy area called sellia town of sorcery and it's very dark and spooky but sooo ATMOSPHERIC!!! i swear they do atmospheres and areas so incredibly well then they have great soundtracks and boss design and cool cutscenes just ahhhhh so much cool stuff to be seen and explored!! thankfully,,,i haven't had to face the godskin duo yet bc i quite literally will want to rip my hair out im CERTAIN!! im actually dreading them so awfully much im putting them off as long as humanly possible lkjfSLKDLKSF one of them was actually fallingstar beast? but then they patched him so he does less damage now so he's so much less difficult im telling you i was level 90 and this dude was oneshotting me CONSTANTLY before the patch 😭 then the other was fia's champions which gave me hell bc i really suck at pvp in FS games and that whole fight hinges on your ability to do pvp fighting but with npcs and yea i hurt a lot there <3 didn't do myself any favors by going there severely underleveled either 😭

the online messages are so fun and lovely i agree it's such a nice thing to have and while a majority are of course people being funny there are many that are so helpful about warnings and guiding you when you're lost it's so nice 😭😭😭

biba my BELOVED SLKGFJFKLFJLKD i have seen, i have perceived, i have GAZED UPON HIS 2019 TRAILER IMMENSELY! didn't even need to see his face to fall in love im already falling over backwards for him without even seeing his face it's fine it's fine everything is fine !!!

uwu im glad we can discuss it hehe i've been talking my friends' ears off about it while they have absolutely NO clue what im talking about just the quietly supporting me while i RAVE SKLJDDFLKSDJFLKSDF im so glad we can bond over it beloved and im especially glad that you're having fun with it too 🥺🥺🥺🥺

HBDSVHBDSHVB FELT THAT LMAO for the gargoyle duo in elden ring there is a cheese strat where you can make them fall off the map bc there's a cliff to your right when you enter the arena hsdbvhsdb ITS SO DIFFICULT TO PULL OFF THO????????? LIKE I REALLY TRIED!!!!! BECAUSE I WANNA GET THAT FIGHT OVER WITH!!!!!!! DSHVBSHDVB but it didnt work their AI pathing is too smart to make them launch themselves over the edge sfhvbshd I ENDED UP FALLING MYSELF MORE THAN ACTUALLY BEING KILLED BY THE GARGOYLE LMAO but also now im level idk 85 so im gonna pay them a visit today and hopefully finish them off today djbvhsdbv I WANNA FIGHT ASTEL ALREADY!!!

also yes it is so easy to not know where to go or what to do in ds1????? like the literally spawns you and is like "go do things and try surviving :)" DSHVBSHDVB i made one of my closest friends play it as well when i first started and he's already really far (partially bc he doesnt get distracted by elden ring oops) and helps me guide through the game bc its so easy to get lost dhvbsdvhb i wanted my playthrough to be 100% blind bc i know nothing about the game and i wanted to keep it that way but i dont think thats even possible with DS games jhsdvbsbhdvb

margit is an evil little b (affectionate) with his slow ass attacks sdhvbdbhsbdv i think anyone who has experience with dodging attacks right when the enemy raises its weapon struggles like you said, its such an evil mechanic but i love it shdvbhsdbv FS DEVS REALLY JUST WANT THEIR FANBASE TO SUFFER WITH EVERY NEW RELEASE AND SOMEHOW EVERYONE OF US ENJOYS IT!!! SHDVBHDVB

radahn seems to be super easy if you just let the summons do all the work for you hdshbvshdb but then thats boring :/// but yeah luck is a huge factor in this game VDBDVHBSHD a lot of the times you're doing well and you KNOW you can defeat a boss with a bit of luck so you just keep trying until luck is on your side and then its time for victory gesture!! djsvbhsdv BUT ALSO YES THE UNDERLEVELED ISSUE IS SO ANNOYING MAN i legit farmed runes for an hour or two yesterday and got myself to level 85 for the pos draconian tree sentinel right before the leydnell capital sdhvbshbdv I REFUSED TO LET HIM LIVE so me and my mimic boi screwed him up uwu dsvbhsdbv BUT MALENIA....... I KNOW....... HER DAYS ARE NUMBERED SHVBHDSBV i saw people say she's the hardest boss of every souls game combined??? and i did watch people figt her so i know what to expect its just... not looking forward to that sdvbhsdvb IT IS POSSIBLE THO!!! just gonna take us ages jhdsvbhbds here have a meme

anyway....... HSBVHSDBV

hdbhsdbvh YEAH I ENDED UP LOOKING UP WHERE THE RIGHT HALF IS BC I REALLY WANTED TO PROGRESS turns out its in a fort in caelid....... no wonder i didnt find it im avoiding caelid as much as i can <3 HSDVHSDB oh rykard!!! i dont know what he looks like or what he does or what he's like but he has a cool soundtrack!!! HBSHVBS and yes there is another lift, i ended up finding one piece of the medallion by accident lmao but yeah GOOD LUCK!!! the dectus lift brings you to a really cool place (which you probably found out by now hvsbshdvb) with some happy dancing ladies it'd be such a lovely place IF IT WERENT SO DEADLY SDVBSDVBSHD <333

BVBSDVBSDBVHDSB MOOD!!!!!! EVERYTHING IS SO CONFUSING!!!! but man now youre giving me motivation to go through leyndell im curious about the story and also curious about the bosses here hsbvhsdb I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT FROM NOW ON I ONLY KNOW I FIGHT GODFREY BEFORE RADAGON BUT OTHER THAN THAT I FORGOT EVERYTHING AND IM SO HAPPY TO FIGURE IT OUT ON MY OWN SDHBVHSDBV also leyndell gotta be my favorite area of the game so far, it's so damn cool and majestic????? the soundtrack is lovely too <3

OH SELLIA TOWN OF SORCERY I KNOW WHICH ONE THAT IS!!!! ive also been avoiding that one bc im scared JHSBVHDSBV but maybe now that im level 85 hmmmm...... i bet theres a bunch of useful items in there so i really shoud but then again caelid 😭😭😭😭 LMAOOOO I FELT THAT GODSKIN DUO DESPAIR DSHVBHSD i fought both of them individually by now but when they're together..... yeah no.. SDVBSHDB and im dreading the same way about the beast clergyman fight, fk that one for real sdvhsdbvhsd fallingstar beast.... that sounds so familiar but i cant remember now???? LEVEL 90 AND STILL GETTING ONE SHOT------ actually im really curious about your build tho sdhvbsvd mind sending a screenshot? dshhvbsdh YOU CAN INCLUDE YOUR CHARACTER TOO IM JUST CURIOUS <3 dsvhdvb im not doing pvp yet and idk if im gonna bc i dont have PSN (i really dont need it lol) so idk if im ever gonna get it dsbvshb but pvps are scary by default so i feel you shdbvhd

LMAOOOO YES HE IS A LOT IN THAT TRAILER DAMN!!!!!!!! JDVHSDVB like ok i already found him really damn hot IN GAME and he's like half empty there HDSBVHBSD but then one day youtube recommended me the trailer from 2019 and i thought it'd be interesting to see how the game ended up turning out BUT ONLY GOT LEFT DROOLING!!! SDHBVHDSBVHSDB im glad they included some eye candy for the female audience too because usually you only see hot women in games (which... i really dont mind...) and men are usually either scarred or badass in some other non-hot way (like radahn jsdhbvhsdb) BUT RADAGON.................. he can have me or something 🙄🙄 (speaking of which poor rennala no wonder she got so heartbroken when he left her JHBDSVHBSDH)

IM REALLY GLAD TOO <333333333 to exchange wall of texts about elden ring with you sdhvbhsdbvhbsd its really nice 🥺🥺
