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 morning, Chance headed out to go to the Hospital and started to look for Kara. He wanted to clear his head by sharing his new found revelation about his feelings, but unfortunately Kara was late that day, and thus got swamped in the work as soon as she arrived. It wasn’t until lunch when they finally had some free time. “Guess what I am doing this weekend?” With a cheeky smile, Kara asked her friend.“Partying”? Knowing Kara, that was the safest bet. And Chance knew they had this weekend off as well, so he knew it wasn’t work, not unless she was putting in extra shifts.“Usually, yes.” Kara nodded. “But, I am going away this weekend. Tom has this house in the suburbs that he had inherited. He goes their once a month to check on it, and this time he invited me.” Kara shrugged. “We’r
The scene at the hospital wasn’t less horrific than what was at the scene. When Terrence was called in the middle of his work with the presentation, he ran to the hospital getting ready to take charge. They were lucky that Dr. McGrath was back from his honeymoon, because they really needed him at this moment of crisis.Usually third years weren’t allowed to lead their surgeries, but seeing the depth of the situation, they agreed to make an exception just for this once. When he found out everyone was being called in for duty, he tried to check in with Kara, according to whom Chance hadn’t arrived. He was standing by the ER waiting for any patient who resembled Chance to come while at the same time hoping he wasn’t one of the casualties. It didn’t help that even after numerous calls Chance didn’t pick up.
Both of them woke up around mid afternoon, with them sprawled over each other. Chance was pretty sure his head was pressed into the other’s bare stomach, and probably the cloth covering him was Terrence’s shirt. Since when did he become a messy sleeper. He pulled himself up and soon winced in pain, curling right back up. Is that why he was curled up? Because of the pain?He slowly pulled himself away and tried to sit up, not exaggerating his pain. The amount of times he had been hurt already, it was as if he was here to be a patient instead of a doctor. All that staggered swaying around in the bed was enough to stir Terrence awake and cause his attention to be directed at Chance. “What are you doing”?“It hurts” Chance declared honestly.“Of course it does. You slept without
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
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.
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
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?”
