To You | fabang au
“You , I always need you”
One fine morning Quinn realized she’s not waking up to a man beside her, her husband is not on the bed. Neither anywhere in their room. She scrolled through her phone to check her messages and emails, if there were any, and of course there were! A LOT actually. Mostly about her clients asking for updates on their case, advices, and some colleagues requesting to help with any of her trial cases. She ignored those. She went straight to her imessage to message her husband Mike.
“Hello Doctor Chang are you there? I think you might’ve forgot that you got a wife here back at your home. So I’m texting as a gentle reminder. Text me back ASAP. worried about you” —SENT.
Not even a minute after it was sent, her phone buzz a notification from him.
“Good Morning Atty. Fabray! I actually did not forget about my wife at all and I, in fact, did sneak in last night to steal some sleep but then I was paged and needed to come back at the hospital even before you wake up. Sorry for not texting sooner. Good luck on your hearing appointment today.”
Oh Quinn sweared she didn’t care about the hearing of one of her biggest clients until Mike brought it up and she was forced to get up of bed and started preparing for it.
An hour or so has passed, Quinn is done with all her morning rituals when an email arrived in her inbox informing her that today’s hearing was cancelled because the client just fired her for some unknown reason.
“Oh great after all of our preparations for this case, I was fired just like that” she said to herself frustrated and angered.
A text from Mike arrived once again.
“Hello Atty! Has the hearing started yet? Best of luck, not that you need it but still ! Text me back whenever you can. I love you”
A smile replaced her furrowed eyebrows when she read the text from her husband. ‘I miss him’ she thought to herself.
“Only the rough wind lingers around me so I always need you.”
“How many hours before you could actually come back home to me, Dr?”
“5 more hours :)”
“Too long!!!”
“Sorry, i’ll make it up to you, Atty. How’s the hearing going?”
“Meh it’s boring.”
“Hmm would still wanna know how’s it going but I gtg. I bet it’s going so well though!! Anyways, Break time’s over, i’ll ttyl :)”
“And what if isn’t?” she sent it not waiting for any response because she knows Mike is back to his job where phone is never allowed.
“Then next time it will. I still love you don’t worry too much about your cases you know it gets better”
“Hey, even if you don’t say anything, You’re the only one that understands me.”
With a slightly heavy heart she packed her stuff and drive to Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital where her husband is currently working. Her heads thoughtless all she ever wanted was a hug— a warm, very long comforting hug from her husband. The sun hasn’t shine for too long yet as the day was just starting but for Quinn it felt like it’s the end of the very draining day at work and she needs someone who she could vent out to. Someone who would just listen and understand her. She’s clearly sad because she felt all her efforts go to waste after she was suddenly fired.
“Today I’ll go to your arms too”
“hello is Dr. Mike Chang in here?” I asked the nurse at the lobby.
“Oh he is. Will you be having a follow up check up with him? May I have your name so I could search for your records, Ma’am?” the nurse politely responded.
“No, actually I am not. I am—“
“Hey nurse Lizelle I need the charts for the patient in room-“
“Oh great timing Dr. Chang someone’s looking out for you” pointing at Quinn “ and of course I’ll grab the charts of Riley from Room 2”
Quinn slowly turned his gaze on him and he’s just expecting a normal patient who might need his help. Surprise was very evident on his face when their eyes met.
“Quinn what are you doing here?” His voice sounded a bit excited but more worried.
“Are you hurt?” He questioned once more.
“No, but I need something from you.” sadness on her eyes.
“A hug if I may?” She extended both her arms asking for a hug.
And so the doctor immediately pulled her for a hug.
“Sorry nurse liezel for this little pda. A little favor can you page me when some urgent matters occurred? I’ll be back later.” He ordered to the nurse who’s smiling when she saw the two hugging.
I’m grateful to you, who greets me whenever I open the door.
“What happened my love?” Mike asked Quinn who’s now happily eating her lunch.
“Life sucks!” She yelled with her mouth full of salad. “But at least this salad is delicious!” She added.
“Okay…” Mike just let her be.
“I was fired…” her voice turned serious.
“It’s my first time to be fired. And by a very important client too” she felt a lump forming on her throat “It’s not a very good feeling. I’m sorry I had to bother you like this but-"
“You didn’t bother anyone here. Actually you came in perfect time.”
“What do you mean?”
“ I miss your voice.”
“Okay I guess this is from your lack of sleep but you’re not making any sense right now.”
“There’s this patient I talked to earlier. She’s turning 7 undergoing a chemotherapy and she wants to meet a fairy who would sing her ‘seven by taylor swift. Do you think you could do her some favor?”
You've given me a piece of happiness
How did Quinn get so happy in an instant? Easy, Mike knows her.
She dressed up as a fairy and surprised Riley, the kid who’s battling cancer and sang to her “Seven”
“Thank you Dr. Chang! I don’t know how did you find a fairy but it’s magical in here now!” The kid exclaimed in excitement
“You’re welcome Riley” Mike replied and gave her a hug.
The doctor and the ‘fairy’ left the room when Riley fell into slumber.
“Thank you Dr. Chang. I don’t know how you did it, but you definitely cheered me up today.”
“Out of all the things I’ve achieved today, making you happy was the most fulfilling.”
“I love you, Mike”
“You too, Atty!”
Hi what do you think of this? My favorite headcanon today is Dr. Mike x Atty. Quinn so here it goes lol
Idk if it’s confusing for anyone but the random “” in between scenes are lyrics of the song “To You” that best describes each scenarios so i added :)
