The next morning Chance woke up earlier, and helped himself to the shower to clean up. He had a shift to attend to, but he didn’t have his scrubs with him, so he knew he would have to rush back home. Which is why he left in a hurry.
Naturally, Dr. Tyson woke up alone in the apartment, but he too had an early morning shift, so without much thought he showered, changed and headed off to the hospital. Today he had a bit of a workload because most of them left the paperworks due for today as they were taking a break the day before.
Not long after, Dr. Milo McGrath walked in, in a very drowsy state and with black coffee in his hand. Technically a groom is on a honeymoon after the next day of the wedding, but due to some scheduling conflict he wasn't supposed to leave before the weekend, which was still two days away.
Finally some medical stuff
Chance had called Child Protection Services as asked and soon a social worker had arrived at the hospital. Of course the parents were angry that the doctors of the hospital were trying to put them through such difficulties, and soon they were down to verbally abusing the doctors as well.They even wanted to lodge an official complaint against the doctors for harassment, but seeing the sensitive subject matter, it would be void until and unless the social worker cleared the parents of this issue. The kid was interviewed alone, and then so were the parents after which a joint interview was taken.While Chance wanted to stay and witness the entire thing, he was called to the department due to shortage of staff, so handed the supervision of the entire thing to Dr. Tyson and ran back. After another hour or s
When Dr. Tyson woke up he had a terrible hangover. Something he never thought he would get from beer. He was naked, lying on Chance’s bed with almost a hazy to no memory of last night. Sure he has had hangovers before, and trust him he was not a fan of them when he had to go to duty with them. He had already taken enough breaks, and with Dr. McGrath’s honeymoon, he was supposed to be the oldest resident in the department. He had to show that he was capable enough, because he really would be the oldest one in the department next year.Will all these crazy thoughts in his mind, he decided to get up from his seat and head out to check out if Chance was present or not. He didn’t find Chance, but he did find a bag with a note attached to it.‘I had to leave because of an early shift. However I left you so
“Meet me before your shift. At my apartment.” Chance heard Dr. Tyson say from the other end.“M…meet you”? Chance was taken aback. “For…?” he trailed off.“Sex, of course. We gotta make it as much as we can.” and with that Dr. Tyson hung up. Chance stared at the phone in shock as the screen showed ‘call ended’ and wondered exactly what had gotten into him. For someone who called to say they won’t be seeing each other for a while, Dr. Tyson sure seemed eager.Chance put off the cell phone, and restarted his car again. He was on his way to one of his former school friends' parties, where he was invited for the evening. Occasion? Nothing much apart from a simple reunion of the whole gang from the good old days.
“I am with a guy at this moment.” Chance could feel his nerve wracking as he blurted those words. Coming out to people, no matter how many times he had done it in the past, it never got easy. To let people know about yourself, to not purposefully hide who you are. It was great, but it was also incredibly scary at the same time as well."What did you just say"? Scott was still surprised to hear something like this, contemplating whether or not he heard him wrong."It's a guy," Chance mumbled again, anxiously."So what? You're like gay now"? Scott mocked, in more of an accusatory tone."Not exactly." Chance tried his best not to fumble. "I am bi." He declared.
Dr Tyson and Chance laid there in silence, catching their breaths when a sound of growling broke the silence. "You should have had your lunch first." Dr. Tyson commented."You appeared more tasty." Chance blurted nonchalantly.Dr. Tyson’s eyes widened, his head jerked and he looked at Chance. "What?""You know what I mean." Chance shrugged.Dr. Tyson pressed his lips, but a snort still managed to escape his mouth, "I'll take that as a compliment." He smirked. "So, you wanna go for another round, or you wanna get some food, you know, for better energy.""I can be wild even without food, you know it"! With a playful smirk on his face, Chance turned to look at Dr. Tyson. "The real question is, for someone who is as b
Chance didn’t hear from Dr. Tyson for the next few days and that was starting to worry him. Meanwhile, even though distracting himself from Scott by having sex with Dr. Tyson worked the other day he was still bothered by it, especially when Scott reached out to him via social media after all these years. He was yet to reply to Scott, and thus he kept himself immersed in his work.He was busy filling out some paperwork, when Kara approached him, “Chance, what is going on with you?” She asked, “Ever since this morning you have been distracted.”“I can say the same about you.” Chance retorted back. He would be lying if he said that amidst this mess he didn’t notice a change in Kara. She had been more interactive with her phone, been more merry, and more importantly, she had been less bitter these past few days. Chanc
It was as if an alarm went out inside his head which prompted Chance to push away Scott immediately. Being the stronger of the duo, it didn’t take much effort to do so. “What the hell man?!” Chance shouted. “I told you I am in a relationship!” he yelled at Scott. “You said it was complicated.” Scott retorted. “That was not an invitation for you to kiss me!” Chance huffed. “Get out of my car! Right now”! He huffed in anger. He could see how visibly hurt Scott was, and even though he did not like that he couldn’t allow Scott to get away with what he was doing. How could he? When every inch of his body felt like he was betraying someone. Betraying Dr. Tyson. Having his lips attacked by Scott made him realize how much he hated it didn’t belong to Dr. Tyson, which was the cause of further alarm in his head. Just
They laid right next to each other, catching their breaths while coming down from the high of their heated session.“I’m so glad you showed up right now.” Terrence mumbled as he stared at the ceiling.“Is that how horny you were?” Chance teased his partner.“No, I get to clean the sheets along with everything else. It reduces my energy.” Terrence declared.“How can you still work after that, it doesn’t hurt?” Chance was appalled. He was certain that he’d be laying on the bed for at least another hour.“Meh… it’ll be alright soon.” Terrence mumbled, “I am hungry though.”
The next day Chance and Kara both were on time, and yet they were swamped with so much work that they barely got some time to breathe. From running around from here and there, to tending to a lot of patients, which was more than they had seen. It was a bit messy and tiring.“Damn, it’s so exhausting.” in their tiny lunch break, Kara groaned.“Yeah, but it’s also nice.” Chance shrugged.Kara stared at Chance with a deadpan look, as if Chance had gone crazy or something. When Chance didn’t continue, Kara added, “Please tell me you were being sarcastic.”“What?” Chance blinked. “No, I wasn’t. I mean, it was kind of fun.” Chance shrugged. "We got to learn so much".“You have lost your mind. Finally you are facing the repercussions of sleeping with Dr. Tyson.” Kara shook her head.“This has nothing to do with him.” Chance ro
“So, when are you leaving?” Terrence asked.“In a while.” Chance declared. “After this meal probably.”“Do you have any plans?” Terrence asked.“I was gonna go… shop for some stuff. After which I’ll probably head home.” Chance nodded. “Why? You wanna come with me?” he teased.“Can I?” Terrence asked, taking Chance up by surprise.“You… want to?” Chance was surprised. “Don’t you have a shift tomorrow?”“So do you.” Terrence shrugged. “I am not talking about sex. I am talking about shopping. I need to buy some stuff as well. I
Chance had two more days to cover in the peds, one of which was only clinic duty. Meanwhile, after two days Terrence was reinstated as well. Things were starting to fall back in place for both of them, with Chance starting his rotation in general surgery, while Terrence was getting acquainted with his work schedule.“I see you are back.” Dr. McGrath was the first one to greet him. Having had the night shift, he was the only one who was here at this hour. “So, what did you do on your holiday?”“It wasn’t a holiday. It was a suspension.” Terrence scoffed, shaking his head.“You get to take days off, and you get paid.” Dr. McGrath pointed out. “Tell me you at least enjoyed these days.”“I di
Even though the growl of stomach came from Chance, Terrence acknowledged the fact that he was hungry as well. Without further ado, he decided to order some takeout and as a late celebration Terrence dug into the cake. Even though it was a day later, it was still his birthday cake. It had been ages since he got one. He mostly avoided his friends on his birthday and only got texts from his family. As for his last boyfriend, they gave him gifts, but never once did he arrange a cake.Once they were done with lunch and dessert. Terrence decided to check up on some of his patients that he had admitted and whom he left under the supervision of Dr. McGrath. He called and discussed some of the possible modes of treatment in a patient with doubtful prognosis. Terrence was deeply immersed in his conversation with his colleague, that is until he felt something on his waist.
It was early morning when Chance finally had his time off from his shift. He was exhausted from the lack of sleep, possibly delirious, so much so that he was having second thoughts regarding driving. Ultimately he decided to call a cab and went home. Once he reached his apartment, he noticed Terrence was still there passed out in his bed. Of all the things he had expected to walk into when he came in, that was not it.He checked all the other rooms to ensure that Terrence hadn't got drunk and messed around again. Luckily everything seemed in its place which caused a sigh of relief to come out of Chance. He was entertained by the fact that he was worried about making a mess by a literal clean freak. Without pondering much, he laid down next to Terrence on the bed and drifted off to sleep almost immediately.He woke up to the scent of hot milk
For some reason Terrence was not satisfied with one round, and they went around several times causing him to be late at the office. He was literally running in the hallway which could give the false impression that there was an emergency case he needed to attend to and not that he was late. When he reached he received a quick scolding from his seniors before Kara got to him.“What happened to you? Where did you run off last night? No matter what, I couldn't get a hold of you.” She seemed pissed.“Sorry, my phone was out of power.” Chance shrugged.“How? You barely use it here.”“It’s broken. I really got to get a new one.” Chance sighed. “Which reminds me, why did you call?”
Few moments later, Terrence pulled away, and looked at Chance who looked at Terrence with a puzzled expression. “What was that for?” he asked.“Placebo.” Terrence smirked. Chance frowned, until it hit him.They went around a few more times in the ferris wheel before they were done for the ride. For some reason after that sudden kiss, Chance was more composed of himself for the rest of the ride.While Terrence was alright with not riding on the roller coaster, upon isisting by Chance a lot, he agreed. Chance was still terrified of this one, but since he could overcome his fear of the ferris wheel, he actually had a little bit of fun. He wanted to try roller coasters as well.Only he wished he didn’t when they were etting out. He could b
Terrence woke up in his own bed with a terrible hangover looming over his head. “Good morning.” a sweet and painfully loud voice startled him. “Just to make it clear, we did not have sex last night.” Chance declared.“Why are you here?” Terrence asked, in a whisper.“I made you some hangover soup.” Chance smiled. “How much do you remember?”“I remember being suspended, being kicked off the seminar team. I remember going to The Tropical Rise and drinking…a lot.” Terrence nodded. “Oh, and I kissed someone.”“I hope you are talking about me.” Chance declared firmly.
It took the hospital a few more days to go back to its normal routine, where most of the casualties of the disasters were discharged. Only a few who had grave injuries were needed to be kept in the hospital. One of those patients was under Terrence, and thus he made sure he kept a watch on them on a regular basis.After his rounds he came back to the residents suite, where he found Dr. McGrath going over his case files. “Is that of my patient?” he couldn’t help but ask Dr. McGrath.“Yes, he was one of the patients you operated on.” Dr. McGrath nodded. “It says you worked with Dr. Winter on this one?” he asked.“I did?” Terrence was confused and thus checked the file thoroughly, “oh yeah, it’s the one
