Path of Totality; A TDS Eclipse Event Story

🌘Chapter 13🌒

      Commander walked through the medical ward. He was going to go see Medic and chat with her in her office for once. He never did that. The last time he did it was when Scout set up a firework prank in his office. He wanted to strangle that boy that day.

      As he walked through, he was given looks. They weren't nasty looks, they were more like smug looks. He even heard some medics turn to each other and snicker at him.

      He wondered what all of that was about. Commander didn't have a clue. They are acting as if he did something secretive and possibly even erot- Medic.

      Commander's face turned beat red as he hurried away. It only got worse when Stranded Medic called to him, "Don't put her out of commission for too long, Charmer!"

      The giggling had him full on sprinting away from them. He forgot how chatty the medics could be. Well, at least they did their jobs. That was something he couldn't say for a lot of the other towers here. He should of just ran the other way.

      Commander reached Medic's office and gave a hefty knocked. He knew better than to barge in. If he remembered right, it was last year when it happened.

      Medic had gotten out of a shower and Commander didn't know. She was changing in her office, which she also used a bedroom. Commander had come down there to deliver her some dinner. Not thinking, he had just barged in.

      What a sight it was. Medic wasn't slow about screaming at him about it though. The whole medical ward was picking fun at him for weeks. Well, that horrible memory was starting to become very absolete after recent events.

       Even then, Medic would kill him if he just barged in. Commander believed her too. That was a button he was not going to try and press.

      After a few moments, Medic's door unlocked and open. The smile on her face was instant. "Look who decided to come down here all by himself! You decided to knock too!" she teased. Commander grumbled. She was not going to let him live that down.

      "Come in!" Medic offered. Commander gladly walked in. He didn't have anything on him, it was just himself. Medic found that strange.

      She watched as Commander found his way to her bed. He sat down and bounced a bit. It was not as comfy as his, and it smelled old. How old was this mattress even? No wonder Medic was sleeping like a rock on his bed.

      "So," Medic started, "Anything you needed me to sign? An injury you wanted to report?" Commander stretched and laid back. Yeah, this bed was trash. "Nope. Just down here on my free time," Commander admitted.

      That was odd for Medic. "Oh. So, like you wanted to come down here and inspect? I can assure you, most of my doctors are-" Medic was cut off. "No, not inspecting. Just came down here to bug you. Sound familiar?" Commander smirked over at her.

      The look he got was priceless, he wished he had a camera. All of a sudden, he was jumped. Medic wrestled him, but she began to squeal and giggle as Commander poked at her ticklish sides.

      Medic kicked her feet around, but she had gotten herself trapped. "S-Stop! Stop it!" she squealed. "No! You tried to get me!" Commander kept on torturing her. The two rough housed, Medic squealing in delight. The two were having some childish fun.

       That quickly ended when there was a loud snarl from her closet and the sound of chains being yanked against. Commander jolted and cursed about every curse word he knew.

      Sighing, Medic got up as much as she didn't want to. She had forgotten about her pets for a moment. They didn't take too kindly to anyone that wasn't Medic. Now that they know Commander was in here, they would rush him and eat him alive.
