'Distract Me' Oneshot 🖤

(This is a request for Sundazed_Me  where Y/N has Tourette syndrome 🖤 Sorry it took so very long 😰)

(Corpses/Adams POV 🖤)

I scrolled more on my phone, examining the different tattoo options. There were a couple big ones that caught my attention but I wasn't sure I could keep my arm still for that long. My hands shook so bad in public it was horrible.

I sighed and turned my phone off since it was about time for me to leave the house. Today I was going to the local CVS to get my flu shot for the year, the thought of the needle was what got me thinking about tattoos to begin with. I had the mindset of 'if I handle this shot well today maybe I can further consider getting a tattoo'. However if I go in today and can't keep my hands from shaking for something as simple as a shot then I need to give up on my hopes.

The walk to the store was a cold one as fall was starting to change into winter. The embrace of the heated building was welcomed. I stared at the ground as I made my way toward the medical side of CVS. I talked briefly with the lady at the counter before she told me to have a seat and fill out a bunch of paperwork.

My hopes of this being a quick procedure died when I saw all the pages of paperwork as well as the waiting area filled with other people. I rolled my eyes and took the only empty seat next to a girl. I began filling the forms out with my awful handwriting, I didn't glance the girls way till she placed a hand to her forehead.

One look at her and I worried. She was as white as a ghost and sweating nervously. She twitched a bit too and seemed out of breath. I asked her if she was alright and she didn't even react. She seemed ridiculously dazed so I nudged her gently.

Finally that snapped her out of it and she met eyes with me. She had that 'deer in headlights' look so I again asked her if she was okay. She nodded and apologized for if she bothered me, I told her she didn't and slowly went back to my paperwork.

Out of the corner of my eye, I watched to see if she was calming down at all...she wasn't. She got even worse when the nurse came out to administer the vaccines. When it came time for the girl to get her shot I was surprised the nurse proceeded, the girl was clearly in no condition to be getting this done.

I almost said something and desperately wish I had. The girl passed out the mere second the needle was inserted into her pale skin.

"Is she okay?" I blurted out with concern

The nurse checked her pulse briefly before saying

"Her hearts racing, I'm going to get her some ice. That usually helps wake people back up"

The nurse hurried off and I was left beside the unconscious girl. I had my own personal experience of passing out due to my chronic health issues so I felt empathy. The worst part of passing out is that it all feels like a dream so when people try to wake you up your brain just tells you to go back to sleep.

Next to me, the girl shifted from where she had her head laid against the wall. Slowly but surely her head came to rest on my shoulder and whilst other people gave looks I didn't care at all. She was still out cold so she probably just thought she was sleeping and was trying to get more comfortable.

The nurse returned and pressed the ice to the girls forehead. With some nudging the girls eyes cracked open. The nurse made sure the girl was okay and coming back to her senses before explaining that she could get a flu shot another day when she felt better.

The nurse turned to me since I was next to get a shot but I refused. I was too invested in this girls health now.

"I-I'm so sorry, I'm all over you" she apologized as she lifted her head off my shoulder
