White Blood Cell U-1146

➳ There was yet another bacterial invasion. Just another day at work for U-1146. It was another day of avoiding danger for you.

➳ And of course, here you are running away like your life depended on it from a bacterium. Screaming for help.

➳ You soon find yourself cornered into a dead end, the bacterium cackling as it approached you with its razor-sharp claws outstretched. Ready to tear you apart, you brace for the gruesome end...

➳ But death never came. Because a white blood cell had shown up and killed it before you could even blink.

➳ U-1146 swore he had heard the screams of and saved his erythrocyte friend again but...

➳ He happened to save you instead. That was unexpected.

➳ You stared in paralyzed shock; an immune cell just saved you. Cells had told you "horror stories" about them... It made you feel a tad bit wary.

➳ "Hey, are you alright?" He kindly offers you a hand and you hesitantly let him bring you to your feet. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine... Thank you. Th-Those bacteria get scarier and meaner."

➳ "Don't mention it, it's just part of our job." He tips his hat. You were not sure if it was because this neutrophil in particular seemed gentleman-like, or his vibe felt totally comforting. But you felt a sense of ease around him. (Despite the amount of blood spatter on him at the moment.)

➳ You liked how it felt, maybe those other cells were wrong. Anyways, you found yourself staring for quite some time now at the easy-on-the-eyes white blood cell.

➳ Cue the awkward moment with a two second silence on the side.

➳ "Um... Why are you staring?"

➳ "I was? S-Sorry!" You felt embarrassed after...

➳ There was another awkward pause. He simply smiles comfortably, you faintly reminded him of someone. Then there's a call from his radio that there are more bacteria!

➳ "I guess you've got more bacteria to get rid of, heh..."

➳ "Yeah... It's what I do." And he is about to walk off when you suddenly grab his hand to stop him. "W-Wait!"

➳ He froze up, noticing the sudden physical contact, you pull your hand away in embarrassment and apologize like a dork.

➳ "C-Can I get your name?" You asked with a sheepish smile. The neutrophil hesitates for a moment, then introduces himself. "U-1146, and what about yourself?"

➳ "[Y/n]. Nice meet you."

➳ "Nice to meet you too-" Then he sees the incoming army of bacteria on the way. "Sorry, I think we may have to talk later, hah hah.." He sounded a bit like a dork, stuttering. You nod. "Y-Yeah... I should go too."

➳ Before you can even say goodbye, he is already charging towards the onslaught of germs, killing them without mercy. "DIE YOU FILTHY GERMS!"

➳ You watched as he left. Smiling with a brand new, warm feeling spreading through you. You had a good feeling about this guy, sort of...

Red Blood Cell AE-3803

➳ She was doing her everyday deliveries when...

➳ She bumped into you, dropping her nutrient basket. Woops, clumsy her. And she watched in horror as you both fell to the ground with a thud, the basket's contents scattered about.
