It had been just under three months since Nico and Levi finally declared they were dating. Their friends at the hospital had begun to suspect that they were together, they just waited for one of them to tell them. It was Levi who first told people; that shocked most, as everyone always assumed that it would be Nico who told everyone. However, when Levi told everyone, the look of absolute bliss on his face said it all. The two were truly and utterly whipped for one another.

Especially Nico. He hadn't always been the type of guy to have serious relationships, as they never really lasted or it just happened to be more of a fling. Levi was different; everything about him intrigued Nico. Every day, he found something new to love about him. Like the other day when they spent the evening together; they were making food together and Nico went off to go to the bathroom, only to come back and find Levi completely off in his own world, quietly singing a song to himself. Nico hadn't even realized that Levi had such an angelic voice.

It was everything that Levi was and could be that kept Nico so invested in him. He could see the potential that Levi had to become an incredible doctor, through whichever path he decided he wanted to take. It was the little quirks he had, the way he spoke, the way it felt when Levi kissed Nico. Every touch was invigorating and addictive.

Nico cleared his throat as he approached Levi from behind him, alerting him to his presence. Levi glanced back over his shoulder and his grin reached from ear to ear when he saw Nico. The hospital was busy today, with it being July 4th. Many people had come in after they had gained injuries whilst drunk. Many people also came in with burns from messing with the fireworks. It seemed common sense to most that fire wasn't something to be played with- and neither were explosives.

"What time do you finish tonight?" Nico pondered, a cheeky smile unable to hide itself finally appearing. Levi fully turned to face Nico, his back rested up against the desk behind him. Levi raised a brow at the question, wondering what Nico had in mind.

"Eight," Levi started, crossing his arms over his chest. "Why? You have that look about you- What have you got planned?"

"Hm, nothing," Nico hummed, shrugging his shoulders with a content sigh. "Just wanted to spend time with you. Thought we could go out tonight?"

It would be nice to be able to go and relax for once after work. So, Levi nodded in response, turning back around to grab the things he had left on the desk. "That sounds good, I'd like that."

"It's a date," Nico mumbled, unable to keep himself from smiling. He had to bite his lip to eventually contain himself. "Oh, you need to come with me as well. We have a patient to go look after."

Levi turned his attention back to Nico, grinning fondly before the two of them made their way down the busy hospital halls together. As they walked, Nico filled Levi in on their patient. It was a young girl- just twelve- who had been thrown from her horse during a competition she was competing in. When the horse had thrown her, it had also slipped and landed directly on top of her. They believed she had a broken leg and possible broken arm from where she had landed. Nico knew that Levi was actually really good with helping keep kids calm and collected whilst being examined. It was like he had some sort of superpower.

They eventually reached the patient, who was with her mother. The father had stayed behind with her sibling to tend to the horse and make sure that it was okay. From first glances, Levi could see that she had a bruise on her forehead, most likely from where she had been wearing her hat- it was situated in the correct place. The mother donned a look of concern and panic as she waited for her daughter to get treated.
