Step Out Of The Sun

fiddling absentmindedly with the glasses in his hand, ezra considered jason’s remark for a second “you’d probably be surprised by how many people come through the door with just minor injuries and how many wait until the last possible second before walking through the doors.” ezra was probably the latter of the two, although his medical training had turned him into somewhat of a hypochondriac, he often explained things away on lack of sleep and too much caffeine. “honestly i think being a teenager is hard enough, you probably don’t need doctors laughing at your misfortune. although that didn’t really stop anybody from finding it entertaining, i guess at least he was passed out so couldn’t tell?” he reasoned, slightly amused still by the memory.

Regina’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Jason walking into Maggie’s. She quickly sat up a little straighter, quickly grabbing her small purse brush to comb out any tangles in her hair and even making sure her make up was on point with her front facing camera on her phone. She quickly got back to acting like she was paying attention to something else before the other took a seat across from her, a small smile dancing upon her lips at his words, “Maybe your subconscious knew you might be running into another familiar, and dare I say, beautiful face this morning and that’s why it had you get up so early.” She gave him a teasing wink before taking a sip of her coffee, “But that’s just a guess, of course.” 

settling into the chair in the familiar setting of maggie’s, ezra wearily removed his glasses. eyes strained following the long night shift; a common occurrence that never really got easier, especially when combined with the harsh lights of the general hospital “so.” he added two sugars into the cappuccino that the coffee shop was famous for, currently far too hot to drink to the man’s dismay. “this guy. like… nineteen? came in with this kid he’s babysitting. she’s absolutely fine, a minor scrape, and he, well… i swear, i’ve never seen anybody so scared before. literally shaking, poor guy. looks at me and just faints. ended up with the kid taking care of him.” ezra shook his head absentmindedly “somehow i don’t think babysitting is his calling in life.”
