Jack Abbot x attending!reader - reader's gender is not specified

Warnings: blood and death barely mentioned

It was a considerably quiet morning. Nobody was dying or actively bleeding out even at 9 am.

Today you overslept a little too much than you would've liked, so the coffee you made was left forgotten in the kitchen of your home.

To be fair, you still feel energized without the coffee, because of the startle you had when you woke up, so coffee isn't on your mind. You forgot that you forgot the coffee.

As you're charting, Perlah notices Jack coming in with a to-go coffee cup. To be fair, it doesn't even matter what thing he's bringing with him - why is he here? He finished his night shift a few hours ago. Overachiever.

Perlah leans closer to Princess and asks "What is Abbot doing here?"

"What-" Princess doesn't even get to comprehend Perlah's question when Jack hands the cup to you.

"You left the coffee at home"

"Oh, thanks"

The nurses' station goes silent. Dead silent. Only Dana and Robby continue what they're doing. They already know, because you've been working together since the start. They know everything.

"'Home'?" Mel repeats.

Both you and Jack turn your heads in Mel's direction, meeting other colleagues' eyes along the way.

"...yes..." You say in unison. It's a confused tone.

Langdon doesn't say anything. He's probably more jealous about the fact that you two clearly have a healthy relationship.

Santos grins a little before going back to work, still listening in though.

Emma smiles so hard she looks pretty much identical to the Sun Baby.

Javadi does her awkward little laugh "You're married. That's great" Ogilvie stands next to her.

Whitaker takes after Javadi "-yes, you are- you look great together"

Princess gives the bet money to Perlah behind their backs, muttering something in Tagalog.

Shen comes to look at the board. He looks delighted - happy sigh, hands on his hips. "It sure is quiet"
