Your mission, if you choose to accept it! :)
I'm sending a GIF to everyone who has participated in Tobias Carrick Appreciation Week this year. Can you create a ficlet (or anything you desire) based on this by Sunday? If so, you'll get one extra chance at the prize to be selected on Monday! :)
Ooohhh my brain went to pre engagement vibes….
Book: Open Heart (book 3 in Tashland)
Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x Tobias Carrick (platonic) mentions of Ethan Ramsey x F!MC Casey Valentine
Summary: It is the end of Casey’s final year of residency, Ethan is back at work but he is nervous about asking Casey to marry him and Tobias gives Ethan a pep talk.
Disclaimer: Characters belong to Pixelberry.
Ethan was glad to be back at work. It had been a harrowing few weeks with the malpractice trial and supporting Casey whilst she embarked on doing her board exams. He was pleased with how well the team had done under Tobias but he was glad to be back in the saddle. The end of the residency year was fast approaching. He had just received an intriguing offer to be Chief of Medicine in a hybrid role that he was intrigued by. He knew he needed to discuss it with Casey, as Caroline’s vision for a the hospital also excited him but he needed to discuss with Casey. He did that later that night and she encouraged him to take it. Like him, she too was also excited about the hospital under Caroline.
Knowing where they were going to be was a relief to him but he was still nervous. He had never considered himself married, let alone in a de facto situation but here he was, ring tucked away in his office safe, contemplating asking a very important question of Casey. He knew she saw a future with him in it romantically but that was a pre board setting when she was focussed on getting through that then all the legal drama that followed. As such he had not had a follow up discussion about it and now he was starting to worry that she would say No.
Tobias had an arduous shift in the ER. Warmer weather always ensured a busier time however when he stumbled across his buddy looking somewhat at a loss he went over.
“What’s up buddy?” Asked Tobias, looking very concerned.
“What? Of course she will say yes. The only way she will not say yes is if you royally fuck your relationship up. Do not mess this up.” Says Tobias.
“I think I have messed up enough prior and we are still together.”
“This is true” said Tobias. “You have had a tough year and you have not looked like running. You got this buddy.”
Ethan breathes a sigh of relief. “You’re right Tobias, now head home, you look like you need the rest.”
“Thanks buddy, have a good day and don’t over think the proposal, you got this.” He walks away, to the office to collect his things and when Ethan is out of ear shot, “that betting pool is mine.”
Ethan is relieved and then starts to thinking of moving the proposal up one week to when the board results are released, as he could not think of a better way to celebrate Casey passing.
Hope you liked the little ficlet Elsa.
This has been a fun event.
And yes there was a betting pool, Naveen was annoyed that he was a long way off-
