Uh
Will couldn't believe it. The man had just appeared out of nowhere. Will had been taking his usual walk home from the hospital when he had heard some commotion. It wasn't like it was unnatural, will prided himself on the fact that he had taken several people back to the hospital after seeing that they had been mugged and patched them up. What could he say, New York was a rough town.
He had heard a scuffle and went to check it out. All he saw was a tall figure about his height get jumped by some mugger dressed in all black. Will didn't have enough time to snort at the cliche getup, when the man getting mugged had spun around hit the mugger in the chest with the palm of his hand causing him to stumble backwards but he tripped over the mans foot and landed on his back. The mugger scrambled to his feet and as soon as he stood up the man grabbed his arm and dojo flipped him.
Will was in awe. He also had stopped walking over to them so he picked up the pace and jogged over in time to hear the man mid lecture.
"'Look, you don't have to live your life like this. My sister and I probably would've eventually ended up like you. Always on the run, stealing to stay alive, had it not been for the fact someone gave me a chance. Told me I could do better things. So can you. Or, you can live your life like this, never to stop running,'
I stared in awe at them.
The mugger started crying and mumbling but the man sat him up and said "Visit the New Rome Cafe and ask for Reyna," the mugger nodded still crying but no longer mumbling.
The man finally noticed me. He startled and looked up at me through his shaggy black hair.
Oh god. Oh god. He's fuckin hot.
He had dark brown eyes that started out really light but got darker so you couldn't tell where the pupil started.
I realized I had been staring and he must have also because he stood up from where he had been leaning on his haunches.
"I, uh.." He sputtered. "Uh sorry" he stumbled backwards tripping over his own feet what grace he had while fighting the past mugger completely gone.
"Oh my god." I say rushing forward. I see him wince and instantly start checking him for injuries
"Are you alright?" I ask still patting him down.
"Oh, uh ya." He clenches his hands in front of him and starts to back away.
"Nuh uh!" I gently grab him by the arm and start heading towards my hospital.
"You are going to get a check up!" He starts to throw out excuses but I cut him off with a quick "Doctors orders!"
He gives me a VERY cute confused puppy look but he continues to follow me.
"So, old are you?" I startle I had zoned out to busy thinking about if the hospital was stocked up with gauze and if the daycare I worked at every afternoon needed wet wipes.
The man next to me starts to clench his hands again. "Cause uh, you look a little young to be a doctor you know?"
"Oh, ya I guess I do. I'm 24 I don't have a degree yet but I'm working on my doctorate I was able to skip two of the beginning semesters." I tell him. "So how old are you?"
He clears his throat. "I'm uh, 22"
I smile at him. "Come on. My hospital is just over there"
He smiles and nods at me. And Will would be damned if his heart did the stupid flutter thing and my stomach got butterflies. (It did)
"So YOU'RE hospital, huh?" He says it with attitude and a coy grin and I DID NOT BLUSH.
"My father, he used to own the place. I've grown up there."
He nods in understanding not questioning the used to.
"Ahh here we are!" Will says happily grinning.
Will leads him through the doors and give him a real check up. Will looked for bruising and checked his temperature and after only ten minutes was done.
Will learned his name was Nico Diangelo, he had a sister he loved cats and dogs and hated when asked to pick one because he never knew but that he usually said dogs because they liked him better and he dog sat for his friend percy all the time who had a massive dog he loved named Mrs. O'leary.
Nico hoped down from the table landing on the balls of his feet, the grace that had been there during the fight showing up again.
Ok solace you got this. Just ask him. No big deal. One two three.
"So nico, would you like to get some coffee or something?"
Will asks him making sure not to look at his eyes because He would spend to much time trying to find where the pupil began and where the iris stopped and would have been a drooling mess with his stupid floppy undercut hair.
He blurts out "Ya, sure I'd love to!"
Will looks up at him in surprise and see's Nico blushing like crazy and crushing his hands together wringing them back and forth.
"Great! Where do you wanna go?"
He grins. "I know a place with killer hot chocolate and the best churo's you've ever tasted."
Will feels a burst of happiness in his stomach. "I love churo's! Come on let's go!" And with that they grab hands and walk outside.
