Try me, Shen Wei (Guardian Fanfic)

toilet break

Zhao finally got to Shen Wei, two snacks in hands as the water was finally cleaned off. He was forced to use his boots before his crocs could dry and that was the first thing Shen saw that made him look up.

He was sure that the doctor would be that one grumpy, motorcycle rider who frequently used the bar and likes many girls to himself at night.

"I believe we didn't finish our talk." Zhao walked to his bed lazily, putting a chair over. He made himself at home remembering all the times he crashed in his motorcycle.

"I don't remember anything before the crash Dr. Zhao. Where is the woman that came with me?" Shen Wei sighed, wanting to stand up slightly when his pain showed itself on his face. 

A fractured pelvis wasn't something one could laugh about. That was the meaning of 'bedridden'.

Just as the doctor was about to help him, Shen Wei lied in the most obvious obnoxious way. "I'm okay."

Zhao shook his head getting a pillow from the couch before elevating the bed to a sitting position as slowly as possible. "Hold my shoulders." He ordered, moving as close as possible to put the pillow behind Shen's back.

Shen Wei slightly picked up both of his arms only to get his body strained to the core. The forearm that would get operated tomorrow fell to his side. 

"Easy, easy." Zhao placed the forearm on a pillow, "can you flex the fingers?" The patient nodded, " okay use your other hand to hold my shoulder, it will ease the pain in the pelvis."

To Shen's surprise the Doctors movements were gentle and soothing. He grasped the patient's waist slightly with one arm, to which he was ordered to hold on to and put a pillow beneath the male's back with the other.

All the while the patient couldn't do nothing but smell his intoxicating scent. The disinfectants clung to his clothes, yet under them was a different one. Shen's hand, light over his shoulder and back felt the muscles flex.

"Thank you." Shen sighed as the male moved away, it even seemed that his pain lessened for a moment.

"My pleasure." Zhao grinned sitting back down.

"I need to see the woman I was with Dr.-"

"I'm afraid I can't help you with that. She left three nights ago when both of you were admitted into the hospital." He spoke casually, getting comfortable in the chair. That was the only time he could get a break.

"Was she hurt?"

"A few stitches to the head and she looked brand new."

The man's remorseful face said it all. 

It was obvious what kind of person Shen Wei is, at least to Zhao who saw way too many patients and their stories.

"Was it your motorcycle you crashed or hers? That beauty was taken away a few days ago." He decided to change the topic, who knew maybe the lawyer wasn't the one he seemed on the outside.

"The motorcycle? No , no neither of us own one-" he tried to stand up only to fail mid action.

"Easy there, I don't want all of the hospital's painkillers to be eaten by you." he sighed.

"Dr. Zhao I need to know who took it."

"Why don't we make a deal then?"

"A deal?"

"You lawyers are obsessed with these, so why not?"

He was already coming up with a devilish plan in his head. Oh he was going to enjoy it.

"But how can you help?"

"Please don't embarrass me Shen Wei,this pretty face knows many people who are able to do it."

"So you help me find Eun-Kyung but what do you want me to do?"

"A favour."

"Then make it Eun-Kyung and the files she took with her." He sighed, with no hope of either of his requests to be fulfilled.

"Two favours."

A week passes after that, Zhao overloaded with work and patients that came from the ER. His father was purposely causing him the whole thing for showing that Mr. Kim disrespect. For some reason he didn't see the man in a while too. 

All he did was look at the insides of too many bodies, losing count of them, either too messy to see his favourite patient or too tired to stand without collapsing. Today was no different. He sent a man off to the operating room, walking near him with a juice pack. He was trying to stop smoking and these seemed to be good if no lollipops were around.

He headed to the bathroom. Usually he would just do his thing and carry on with everything but out of the corner of his eye he saw the familiar model like eyebrows. The male was struggling to close the door behind himself, the crutches clearly unused as he leaned on them.

"Shen Wei?" Zhao chuckled, yet stopped instantly at the pained expression.

He rushed forward, getting one of the crutches out of the way.

"Dr. Zhao please, please help me." He whispered, leaning on the other crutch.

"Oh jesus…" he nearly cursed as he put the patient's arm over his shoulder. Perfect example of what not to do with a fractured forearm and pelvis-wonder on your own, "it will hurt more if I pick you up. Try to walk as straight as possible." Shen Wei nodded, most of his weight on the doctor. 

Zhao slammed the door open with his foot, trying to restrict each movement so it wouldn't hurt.

"Dr. Zhao! The patient is in the operating room!" A nurse called out, only getting him pissed, "you have to h-"

"I'm busy. Assign Zhu Hong." He said, shooing everyone else away who wanted to help him move Shen Wei. "It will hurt more, the more people try."

With baby steps they finally reached his room. 

"Okay try to relax." That was the most stupid thing one could say to a shaking person.

"Dr. Zhao, that's quite impossible in this state." He muttered, tickling the doctor's neck with his breath.

They finally reached the bed as Shen Wei looked at it with horror in his face. Zhao sighed before picking the male up with utmost accuracy and gentleness without any warning.

Zhao could hear his gasp and the scream he held back. That hurt like hell. He placed the male on the bed and saw Shen Wei's hands gripping the sheets. His breathing sped up and Zhao feared his stitches would break.

"Shen Wei," he whispered, "breath. Everythings going to be okay. Everything heals. Or curse for all I care." 

The patient laughed, only to flinch soon after at that.

A few moments passed and the doctor finally realised why he was there.

"Why didn't you just call someone?" He asked.

"No-one came."

"Why didn't you just shout out to some nurse?"

"That would be impolite."

Zhao sighed, " You know what would be impolite? Ruining the work I've done here." He pointed to Shen Wei's stomach.

"I just couldn't keep staying in bed for longer." He sighed pointing at the belongings that were stuffed away in the closet, "I couldn't get them so I thought to get someone for help but everyone was running around. After all, I needed to go to the bathroom."

"You have one in here." Zhao raised his eyebrows.

"The other one was closer, Dr. Zhao." Shen made a mocking gesture.

"Or my patient just missed me." Zhao awwed, further on embarrassing the man. 

"If you're already here, please give me the phone that's there."

"Hmm." The doctor took it from where it was supposed to be, seeing Shen's extended arm when he put it in his pocket.

"What-"

"Uncharged.", the doctor winked, "I've got a charger."
