No one's pov:
" Ok..."
You whisperd to yourself as you straighten your uniform, trying to collect your nerves while looking yourself in the mirror
" Let's do this! First day at the new job!"
You grabbed your bag and hurried to your new boss office to get your first shift.
As you walked down the halls you could not only hear the cleaking of your short shoe-heels but also the coughing from the patients and the bird twittering outside while the morning light outside got brighter and brighter.
The coffee-machines started to make coffee for the overworked staff and the whole building smelled like strong soap and medecine.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Finally, after months of studying and skipping meals you'd got accepted as a nurse
( Yes, this is still genderneutral. Men can be nurses too!)
to this hospital, after all struggle and suffering you could finally do what you always wanted.
Ever since you were a small kid you dreamed of becomming a nurse and heal the sick and injured. Many doubted in you, said that there was no point in even trying to become a medical proffesssional but here you are, all dressed in white, a scheadule for the next 5 years and a legal position card in your left pocket.
And you're only 18 years old, probably the youngest of the staff but you didn't care at all! You belonged here!
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
You took a deep breath breath as you stood behind a door, this was gonna be your first patient to take care off. You feelt your heart stiffen , fuck you were nervous, you couldn't screw this up! This had to be good!
You also heard that this patient lost his arms, legs, horns and even got severve burn marks after a tragic fire accident at a circus where he was a very talented preformer. Barely anyone in there made it out without any burn-marks or scars, but it seemed like this specific person got the worst of it.
Hearing that made your heart twist and you couldn't help but sympatize with this unfortunate demon, you knew you had to be calm, collected and understanding. He'd lost so much in short time and he's probably still processing everything that's happen to him.
So with a clutched fists you took slowly stepped inside the hospital room where you heard machines piping, a large window with white curtainsand at last a very thinn bed with the patient; Fizzarolli.
You almost wanted to cry at the sight, he's only been here for a week and still looked so heartbroken and devestated after the incident with all the bandages wrapped around his limbless body and the wires attached to his chest as he breathed loudly, almost sounding like he was snoaring.
His eyes were barely open but you could see that they were swollen red from crying along with his tear-stained cheeks.
Still, you made your move and got closer to the bed with a gentle smile
" Hey Fizzarolli..."
You said in almost a whisper, to not startle him
He didn't respond and just drifted his barely open eyes to you and gave you a nod.
" Fizzarolli, my name is Y/n L/n"
You spoke kindly to him as you took out some papers out of a file.
" I'm your new nurse here at the hospital. I'm gonna take care of you from now on until you can leave and if there's anything bothering you here i'll take care of it for you, ok?"
Fizzarolli's eyes widen at your kind tone, he'd never experienced such gentlemess from the bitter staff, this was truly a breath of fresh air and he couldn't help but crack a weak smile as you continued
" Ok, so the doctors told me that your vocal acords got hurt into the fire and you've barely even tried to speak to them bu-"
" I-i just don't like th-their attitude..."
Your ears perked when a weak, raspy voice left his lips. You only shook your head
" Excuse me?"
He nodded slowly
" Yo-u heard m-me, they're j-just so fuck-king rude...."
You nodded at that comment, understanding what he meant, you've only been here for a couple of hours and you could already sense that all of the staff arenorealky the most kind people. You took out a paper
" Have your voice always been like this or did this raps happen after the fire?"
Fizzarolli shook his head in shame
" ..No...."
" Ok, good to know"
You spoke as you write that down on one of the papers
" But i'm very proud of you for telling me this, it's very brave of you."
Fizzarollis lifted his head up again, his face written in confusion
" What? Are you proud of me for telling you something so fucking small?"
He realised an eyebrow
You simply nodded with a smile
" Yes, do you even know how courrage it takes for someone to confess this to someone like this? We've only known eachother for a few minutes and you're already willing to share something this big and important to me? Fizzarolli, i call it an achivment."
Fizzarolli didn't say anything at first, he was completely taken back by your words, he'd never had anyone praising him like this, especially for something that seemed so small and unimportant to him, well except...
Blitzo.......
Fizz voice hitched when he thought of Blitzo, the imp that had abonded him in the fire to die, like he meant nothing to him in his whole life. That selfish little peice of shit! He could feel his heart clutch in pain, he cared for Blitz like no one else did, he face Blitz his trust and friendship and he got this in return?
Tears started slowly Pour out of his eyelids and running down his cheeks wich caught your attention quickly
" Fizz? Fizzarolli?"
You asked him as you stood lowerd yourself and sat at the edge of the bed, worried
" Are you okay?"
He tried to wipe off his tears and hiccuped but sova started to come out of his mouth and it feelt like he'd never stop.
It all just reminded him that Blitzo didn't even come to visit him here, not even once......
In a swift move, you took out a few paper and with it wiped up his snot and tears up, not telling him to stop crying and just say there, letting him get it all out and just being there for him, making him understand that you weren't going anywhere and that you're there to comfort him.
He eventually couldn't take it anymore and collasped in your arms, making you drop your file and papers as he cried in the crook of your neck
You were suprised by this move but understood his situation so you slowly warmed up to him and wrapped your arms around his body and soon rubbed circles on his back. None of you saying anything, just sitting there in silence as you gave him support and a warm hug.
