Prettyboy, MD (ManXMan)

Chapter 11

"Hi there, Prettyboy." Adam turned around to hear a familiar voice behind him. It was Dr. Alex Petrakis, another one of the residents in Dylan's year and also Dylan's best friend since university. When Adam first started his internship, everyone got him and Alex confused. They were both about the same height, with tanned olive skin, slender builds, and wavy dark brown hair. The only difference was that Alex' eyes were a deeper brown, while Adam's were more of a hazel. Which is why everyone called Adam Alex' "mini me"; when they weren't calling him Prettyboy, that is.

"Hi Dr. Petrakis." Adam said with a smile that the other man reciprocated. "I finished rounds for this morning, is there anything else you need me to do?"

"Excellent, bud. I was wondering if you were free to scrub into a kidney transplant" Alex said with a smile as he watched Adam's face light up. "I thought so. You can help me prep the patient and scrub in for the surgery."

"Are you sure I'm ready, aren't organ replacements pretty difficult." Adam glanced up at Alex with an uneasy look on his face.

"Adam, you're more than ready. Between you and me, way ahead of your peers, everyone knows it." Alex gave him a knowing look. "You're doing great things, you think Dylan would have let you do an appy on your first day?! And before you say it, no it's not because he was trying to get in your pants." Alex whispered with a wink.

"You..." Adam stammered, utterly in shock that anyone actually knew about him and Dylan.

"Yes, Prettyboy." Alex winked teasingly. "I've been his best friend for nine years, I know a thing or two about him, and he tells me everything." Alex said. "And I can also tell that you're avoiding him because and it's probably his fault. So don't worry, Daddy won't be anywhere near the surgery."

"HE TOLD YOU THAT!" Adam whispered as his eyes widened.

"Every dirty, sexy, pornographic detail." Alex teased as he patted Adam on the shoulder and he walked away. "11:30! Don't forget."

    Adam groaned to himself at the thought of Dylan telling Alex all about their sex life, but it wasn't like Adam had already told Sophia and Ilya all about his situation. After all Sophia and Ilya were just as his house to listen to him rant about it for hours.

    It wasn't that Adam was mad at Dylan, more so disappointed that he let himself catch feelings for the handsome man despite repeatedly telling himself not to. He knew he was merely a hookup, friends-with-benefits type of situation in Dylan's eyes, but Adam couldn't help but want more. Pair all that with the fact that Dylan is his resident, and it's a surefire recipe for disaster. No amount of mind blowing sex from a GQ model looking sex god was going to be worth him sacrificing his career and his feelings.

    Though Adam told himself he wasn't angry with Dylan he continued to avoid him. He ignored at least twenty calls and messages from the man since he left his place in a rush the morning before, though in theory it was entirely impossible for him to avoid the man altogether. He could ask to be transferred to another resident, but that would raise suspicions again.

"You can't avoid him forever you know." Adam jumped as he looked forward, seeing Sophia standing in fort of him with a smirk on her face.

"I was thinking about it, maybe I can see if there are positions at Vancouver General or Mount Saint Joseph. I could always transf-" Adam whispered discretely.

"You finish that sentence and I will shank you with a scalpel." Sophia snapped at him. "Be a big boy and either talk to him or just tell him you're not interested anymore. Or maybe you could actually listen to what he has to say before running off. "
