Alien Sam, Hi!
Sorry for the frequent asks, I just really like the way you write (ā Tā -Tā )
I'm here because a hybrid!peacock!reader who works in the medical field is āØ
Not joining the team for missions because of the vibrant colors.
AWWW THANK UUU.
Simon was never one to go to the medical wing- at least not on his own devices. He usually does his own stitching, bandages, and other smaller medical procedures.
So when he heard there would be a new medic, he wasnāt planning on meeting you any time soon. That was, until he broke two ribs and fractured his arm on an op.
He work up in the medical wing, the soft glow of the orange lights filling his eyes, the feeling of the medical bed much softer then his own. He tried to get up, he didnāt need to stay another night in here- heāll do just fine on his own, his bed is also capable of letting him heal.
āGet up and Iāll break another one of your ribsā
Non of the other medics talked to him that way, they where all to scared of him to do that. What were you again? Peacock? Made sense, you were much shorter then most of the hybrids heād seen.
āDonāt need thisā he muttered, voice gruff form however long he was out for. He tried to get out of bed, the bandages around his ribs tightened every time he breathed, the sling making it harder to move.
You didnāt even respond to him, just pushed him back onto the bed. Now, any time he even slightly NEAR the infirmary, you sniff him out like a hound dog for him to get a check up. You never cared if he complained, didnāt give a fuck if he had āother things to doā. He was getting a check up.
He hated it- at least thatās what he tried to tell himself. At first, he thought you were just another annoying nurse, but then you wouldnāt leave him alone. Soon, he caught himself going past the medical wing more on purpose,and his threats had less bite to them.
Sometimes his eyes linger on the colorful baby feathers that are on your face, in the back of his mind he wonders what the others look like. He did a little research, knew it was called a train, imagined the colors in the shitty base lights.
All the times heād seen you, you were always wearing that medical coat- so youād understand his reaction when he saw you without it off.
You didnāt have a train, no bright colored feathers that glistened in the light. They were short, brown, and fuzzy looken. He thought something was wrong, were you not eating enough? Not exercising? Not enough sleep?
Well, heās now taken upon himself to get you back to normal. He stopes by with small bags of food he brings back from the cafeteria- he assumed most medics work long hours and donāt take time for themselves.
Sometimes when itās late, and he knows youāre still up and itās a slower day, heāll coerce you to come back with him to his barracks. āJust this onceā he says. Your to tired to argue, somehow finding yourself already in his arms, falling asleep.
And yet, nothing seemed to work. Your color never came.
āWhy donāt youā¦what happened to your colors?ā He had asked one evening, you where stitching up his hand from a gash he ārandomly hadā, that your pretty sure he gave himself.
āMy- what?ā
āYour feathersā he gestured to the small of your back.
āMy-ā it dawned on you, the extra food, the extra care, always checking on you- he thinks something wrong. ā-oh. No- no no noā you couldnāt help but snicker, it was- cute, that he carried so much.
āThose are- seasonal. Not permanentā
Well now he felt stupid. They were seasonal, never ment to be on your forever.
Then pull to now, where on the more easy days he comes in, watching your plume go full when you see him. It was his little guilty pleasure.
He started looking up what seasons your train would be out, always wanting to be prepared. So what was this about mating season? What does that have to do, withā¦
Oh.
Oh.
