I know this isn’t much but I really appreciate @sparktheblaze (tumblr) so I tried to make this extra full of fluffy ohmtoonz with out giving it away too much. I really hope you enjoy.

    “Ow you son of a bitch, that hurts!” Luke growled. He had been climbing the ropes to detangle the riggings when a high wind  kicked up and knocked him down from the crows nest to the top deck. Breaking his right arm in two places, most likely a rib or two, as well deep tissue bruising along his back, wrapping around to spread across his chest and abdomen. Currently Jon had Luke’s good arm wrapped around his shoulders and neck. Luke grunts with every set of stairs to get to this doctors office. When they finally got there it dark out. The only light that could be seen was the dim light coming from within the small building; movement could be seen through the windows. The two sailors stumble through the door coming face to face with a lean looking well dressed young man. One you wouldn’t expect to be a doctor but of a scholar or a businessman judging be the expensive looking clothes. Even if he was studying medicine he is much too young to be a doctor. He was no older than Luke maybe even Jon’s age.

Apparently this was evident on their faces because one look at them and the doctor already had a cold feeling toward them. There was a long awkward silence until Jon shifted his weight causing Luke to groan. The man in front of them inhaled sharply and swiftly moved to the back. “Where the fuck have you taken me Jon?” Luke growled out. “Don’t look at me man they say he’s the best in the area.” Jon defended. The young man came back with a tray of assorted medical instruments. “Well don’t just stand there get on the exam table!” the man says. He turns his back to organise his tools. By the time he turns back Luke is already has his shirt off without request. The man’s eyes nearly bugged out of his head, “What’s the matter doc, never seen shirtless man before?”  Luke half heartedly jokes. “No just,” the man took a step forward and reached out to his hand to touch his chest before pulling back quickly.

This close Luke could see the doctor’s face better, though most of it was covered by grey sanitary mask with an omega symbol on it. But from what the could see he had green eyes with brown mixed in it so that would make a kaleidoscope effect. And it seemed that the top of his cheeks there seemed to in a light rose colour. “You know,” Luke cuts the silence,”I usually like to know the name of the guy before he gets me out my clothes.” He said to ease the tension but it only seemed to make it worse. There was a long silence while the doctor examined Luke’s wounds. “Ryan.” the doctor said suddenly,”My name is Dr. Ryan Wrecker.” Luke was shocked by the softed voice, but welcomed as it seemed to fit the shy man and when he heard it, it made him smile. There was a sense of calm that rested over the two as Ryan did his work. Even when Luke cursed or flinched in pain, Ryan apologized and placed his palm flat on uninjured skin to soothe him and the peace would be fall over them again.

Jon was basically left to his own devices and was forgotten. That is until they heard a loud crash of metal objects hitting the stone flooring. They turned to the noise to see Jon feigning an air of innocence. “Oops, sorry doc.” he giggled. Luke shook his head with a small grin and Ryan just sighed. As Jon picked up the scattered surgeon equipment, Ryan finished wrapping Luke’s ribs and set the splint for his arm and knee. “That should do it. Don’t put pressure on any of these.” Ryan motioned toward the bandages. Now that everything was done Ryan a little more shy and reserved. Refusing to look Luke in the eye as he was still very aware of the fact that he was still shirtless. “Well it was a pleasure to have met you, Dr. Wrecker. Though I do wish it were under better circumstances.” Luke huffed as he slowly and shapely slipped on his tattered shirt. “Yeah thanks Doc.” smiled Jon as he fidgeted with yet another thing on the shelf. “In that case do me a favore next time you get,” Ryan takes the vile Jon is messing with out of his hands as he ushers them out,”Don’t come to me first. I don’t need the Republic sniffing around here because I mended some pirates one time ok?” and with that he closes the door and shuts off the lights. “I like him.” Luke says as he turns to shuffle away. “Yeah I bet you do Romeo.” Jon retorts. “What’s that supposed to mean?” Luke asks. “Oh nothing.” Jon sang and with that they dropped the conversation while Jon helped Luke get down the street.
