(this oneshot takes place in a hospital- skip if it makes you uncomfortable! Also some slight vulgar language.)
The sound of a hospital bed being wheeled briefly echoed through the halls of the hospital. This bed contained a sleeping Eva, under blankets. She had just gotten her sex-reassignment surgery. She had her teammates waiting for her, but she had no idea as she was still asleep.
In the waiting room, Tommy nervously twiddled his thumbs and Tyrone played a game on his phone. That was until they heard footsteps.
Tyrone looks up from his phone as he sees a nurse approach with a smile.
“You’re here for Eva Ricketts, correct?”
Tommy nodded. “Yep.”
The nurse nodded. “Miss Ricketts has come out of the OR, we’re waking her up right now. You can come back.”The boys followed the nurse to a room. The anesthesiologist was helping Eva wake up, as evidenced by the movements and waking-up noises coming from the woman.
Once Eva was awake and it was confirmed there were no issues related to anesthesia, the anesthesiologist turned to the boys.
“She just woke up, and she’s on some pretty gnarly pain medicine. She may say things she doesn’t mean,” he informed them.
Tyrone nodded. He grins as he gets out his phone. “I wonder what funny shit she’ll say.”
Tommy rolled his eyes with a chuckle. “Tyrone. Come on. We gotta be there for her, ok?”They sat on opposite sides of Eva. Eva took a sleepy glance at Tyrone. Then she looked at Tommy. She stared at Tommy with intensity.
Tommy smiled. “Hi Eva. I’m glad you’re awake!”
Eva just giggled. “Hell yeah! I got p00say, and a sexy boy with me! I wanna heal now!”
Tyrone burst into laughter as Tommy turned beet red.
“Eva! Healing takes time.” Tyrone chuckles and gently pats her shoulder. He noticed the monitors attached to her, the only other noises in the room being the beeping of the heart monitor.
Eva gave an angry stare at Tyrone. “Let me have my sexy boy, blondie!” She then began speaking somewhat slurred Spanish. Based on Tommy’s knowledge of it, and from what he could make out, she was expressing… carnal desire for him, and a desire for pickles.
He figured that it was the anesthesia, but nonetheless, it made him blush. He already was harboring some feelings for her. He wasn’t sure if she truly felt the same, or if it was just the medicine talking.
Tyrone just laughed. “Alright Eva, we get it. Just get some rest, and once your doctor says you can, we will buy you SO many pickles.”
Eva nodded intensely. “Pickles! I want pickles! I’m as tall as fucking YOGURT, baby!”
Tommy laughed so hard he cried.
Eva then crashed, passing out yet again.Tyrone smiled at Tommy. “I’ll go to the grocery store later. I know they don’t have the pickles she likes here.”
Tommy nods. “Yeah. I’ll give you money.” He looked down at Eva, with a smile. He felt an even greater need to be by her side, to support her, to protect her as she recovered. Tommy and Tyrone knew it would be a while before she could get back on the court with them, and they’d do whatever it takes to help her during this hard ‘no basketball’ period.
The doctor then came in. “Alright. Visiting hours are over.”
Tyrone smiled. “Well, I’ll see you later, Tommy. I’ve gotta go have dinner with Barb.” He waved goodbye to Eva, despite her being asleep, before leaving.
Tommy smiled, and looked up at the doctor. “I’m going to stay.”
“I understand, sir, but visiting hours are ov-”
“I said, I’m staying. She needs someone to be here with her.” Tommy gave an intense stare at the doctor. He was not leaving Eva.
The doctor knew he should probably not mess with a 6 foot 4 basketball champion. “Alright. You can stay. But please don’t break anything.”
He left.Tommy looks down at the sleeping Eva. He took the time to appreciate her features, and just how beautiful she was. The sounds of the heart monitor were drowned out by his thoughts.
She’s so beautiful. Her face has changed, sure, but her beauty just became more. I can’t believe that she finally got her surgery. I’m so proud of her! But by Maka Wuhu…. I want to kiss this woman. I want to be with her! I’m in love!
Tommy knew it would be messed up to kiss her while she was sleeping, without her consent, so he took to gently putting her hand on top of his. He looked at their hands together, admiring the contrast between the colors of their skin, and her soft yet large hands.
He could only smile. Smile so, so lovingly.
Sleep overcame him as his hand left Eva’s, and in the chair he went to sleep.Eva woke up a few hours later, more coherent, to see Tommy asleep in the chair by her bed.
A nurse had come in to check on her and change some wound dressings. Eva looked at the clock. 01:47 AM. “Damn, it’s late.” was her first comment.
The nurse nodded. “Yep. Tommy over there has been here all day. He refused to leave when Dr. Ochako kicked him and Tyrone out.”
Eva’s eyes widened. “I mean, Tommy’s pretty intimidating. He’s a huge man.”
“That he is.” the nurse smiles.
Eva remembered seeing Tyrone, but knew he was gone now. All she could remember initially waking up was Tyrone promising that he’d buy her pickles.
Pickles. Her mouth watered.The nurse left. Tommy woke up soon after. He smiled seeing Eva awake. “Hey Evs.” He smiled with a slight blush remembering earlier. “How are you feeling?”
“A little pain. But I figured they gave me morphine or something.” Eva replied. “Tyrone’s gone, eh?”
Tommy nodded. “Yeah. I’m staying, of course. Can’t leave you lonely.”
Eva smiled. “Thanks for that, Tommy. I appreciate it.”
“You’re very welcome, Eva. I would do it again in a heartbeat.” Tommy replied.
The two smiled at each other.Little did they know this was the spark that would ignite their love.
