You smile at jim, then glance down slightly at his hand.

".... it's getting better.." you state, noting his eyes immediately darken at the fact that you keep mentioning it, with intentions to help. But, again, he seems to tolerate it.

"Yes, it is. And how's your shoulder feeling, my dear~?" Jim asks, and you smile because it was legit the first time jim even mentioned it since you were shot. He was too angry with you at first...

"It's getting better—- I mean. It's not healing yet, and it's heccin sore, but I can manage." You shrug slightly, doing your best to pretend that it didn't send a searing pain down your entire side. Jim seems to notice anyhow, and sighs, shaking his head, standing up to walk around you slowly.

"Have you checked if the bleedings started up again? Or changed the bandage?" He asks, one eyebrow raised. You shake your head a bit in response, surprised that jim was even talking to you about it.

"No, not really... just gonna wait it out I think. It's kinda hard to change a bandage with only one hand." You smile, watching his response, although he was as always completely impossible to read and/or predict. Jim raised an eyebrow, looking at you disapprovingly.

"Tsk tsk, my dear, it's gonna get infected if you leave it like that~."

"Why do you care, you wanna change it?" You grinned, jim smiled back in return.

"Nice try, my dear~ but no. I have things to do. Willy boy, on the other hand, I'm sure would be glad to help."

You snorted in response, before trying to hold in hysterical laughter.

"... w i l l y b o y." You repeat, through suppressed giggles. Moments later, William skid through the door breathlessly.

"Jim you called???" He asked, causing you to burst out laughing. William stared at you a moment before catching on to what just happened.

"DAMNIT SEBASTIAN!!! I thought you said there was an emergency!!!"

From down the hall somewhere you heard a bunch of people laughing and making fun of the nickname."Willy boy~~!!!"

You laughed as well and jim simply smiled, knowing very well how much he was ruining Williams life ahah. William shook his head.

"Right. Can I go?" He mumbled, obviously not a very good sport about the whole ordeal. Jim shook his head in response, still smiling calmly.

"Nah. Y/n needs the bandage on her shoulder changed. See to it it gets done." Jim states, before casually sitting at his desk again. William groans.

"Jim, just because I can get here from the other side of the building within ten seconds does not mean I don't have things to do." He shot you a glare, as if it was somehow your fault for getting shot. Jim's eyes darkened, immediately standing up again, hands on his desk.

"Watch the attitude, Willy boy." Jim threatened, and you shrunk back, away from the two. You forgot how they could both go 0-100 real quicc....
