I'm Sorry

Part 21

It was dark, but he was sitting on a chair at the front of her door, guarding during the night shift. He hadn't got enough sleep ever since last night, since he guard her door after their little drawing activity, but she wouldn't know that. He didn't tell the guards about them not guarding her at night ever since. It was better if HE was the one to keep an eye on her. He yawned under his mask, lost count on how many he already did that. It was pretty boring; no TV, no board games, nothing. Wonder how did she entertain herself in that room? No matter, he thought. Right now, he could still hear some sniffles inside the room, she was occupied with something else. He did went inside with her meal like he promised, but she didn't look like she wanted to eat despite the rumbling sounds coming from herself. He crossed his arms, leaning his head down on the chair, trying to contain his fatigue.

"You are so reckless, Gabe!" She scolded as she wrapped the bandages on his injured arm. He winced in pain as she tightened the bandage.

"No, I was not. This is what you called war. They won't miss a target on purpose! They were just good." He excused. Angela only rolled her eyes at him.

"And you are better. You're just giving them a chance to hit you. Geez..." after finish wrapping the bandage on his left arm, she proceeded to treat his scratches on his face. She leaned closer to his face with some disinfectant and a cotton in hand. He only scrutinize her features with her face all serious, yet she was oblivious of that.

"Thanks for the compliment, doc." He smirked.

"You're welcome. Now do me a favor and don't get hurt too much!" She scolded him once again. He only replied with a chuckle.

"Aww... you don't want to see me in the infirmary anymore? So you can have more time with Jack?" He teased, and she hit his uninjured arm with her brows furrowed.

"No! Would you stop that, Gabriel?! I don't like those rumors spreading around." He chuckled again. He actually loved how she said his full name other than 'Gabe'. He didn't know why, but maybe because the way she spoke like he was an important person. But he wouldn't tell her about that.

The rumors about her and Jack had spread like wildfire, though none of them knew who spread such news. She didn't like it though, but Jack looked like he didn't mind. Of course, who wouldn't fall for the Swiss doctor of Overwatch? He had to admit, he also like her, although not in such way; probably admiration, but he'd rather not talk about it or it would be awkward for both of them.

"But everyone already knows that. You're just not accepting it." He ouched when she applied some cold substance on his wound, before she made some fixes.

"Hold still." She ordered him, he just grunted.

"You did that on purpose." She just hummed. With a few seconds of silence, she spoke softly as she treated his wound.

"I'm not accepting it because it's not true."

"Won't that make Jack disappointed?" He raised his eyebrow, a bit curious with the doctor's answer.

"You better accept the ugly truth rather than taking the pretty lies." She answered proudly. Then her eyes softened when she done treating one of the scars on his face.

"Besides, I already had someone else in my mind." She responded. That made his eyes widened slightly. She already had a crush? He wanted to know, just for the sake of curiosity. He knew that Angela wasn't the one who would fall head over heels on a mere man, not to mention if she was even interested in these kinds of things. So that guy must be interesting or something.
