(Wow isn't Kagerou Project about teenagers, wow, what are they doing as doctors then, wow wow wow- is what I had in my mind the whole time as I typed this out.)

Shintarou nearly screamed when he had heard a completely unfamiliar, and ear-piercingly loud song playing as his alarm, and had abruptly fell off the edge of his bed in an attempt to switch it off. His hand missed the button of the alarm clock, and instead, had whacked the medical reports he had done over night, sending all of them flying in the air after sorting them out, and arranging them neatly, ready for work the next morning. "Shit..." was the only thing he could say in the light of this new morning.

"Nii-san! Nii-san!" his sister called from the other side of the door. "Are you okay? I heard a rather gross yelp from my room."

Ah, so I did scream... and that was a comment he honestly did not want to hear at the moment- especially not from his sister, out of all people. Shintarou hastily got up, carefully attempting not to trample any of the paperwork scattered across the floor, and immediately switched off the alarm. "Who the hell even set it to that?" he grumbled to himself, his ears still suffering from the side effects of heavy metal being played at maximum volume in the morning. As he reached for the doorknob to head to the washroom, the door had unexpectedly opened for him.

Ayano's increasingly worried looking face greeted him from the other side, her red muffler wrapped loosely around her neck, "Shintarou, I heard you yell, so I thought you were in trouble and-"

At that moment, Shintarou wanted to scream from embarrassment, shut the door, and die of humiliation from Ayano seeing him in his pajamas first thing in the morning. "What are you even doing here?" He managed out.

"Oh, Momo-san let me in, but she said you were still sleeping, however I came in anyways, and then I waited for you at the living room, but then I heard you scream and so, here I am!" She laughed quite nervously, though the usual smile of hers was still spread across her mouth. Ayano stared at her feet, before slowly glancing upwards, her cheeks dusted with a rosy pink. "I-I should leave you to get washed up! I-I'll see you in t-the living r-room when you're done so w-we can g-go!" and left Shintarou standing at the doorway, silent and still.

Well it has been a great morning.

Out in the fresh spring morning breeze, Shintarou and Ayano walked side by side, after hurriedly arranging the messy paperwork in combined effort with Momo, and hastily downing a glass of coke, and a piece of toast bread. "This type of breakfast isn't healthy for you, Shintarou! And you're also a doctor on top of that, you should know that!"

"I bet you would also eat the same type of breakfast as me if you were in my place."

"Hey, at least I wouldn't be having coke in the morning!" Ayano stuck her tongue out childishly, before giggling softly, making Shintarou sigh. Ah, she doesn't seem to understand the wonders of coke! Though truthfully, it is unhealthy. "Shintarou, Shintarou, did you wear your watch today?" Shintarou proudly lifted up the long sleeves of his jacket to reveal a simple, red digital watch around his pale wrist. "Did you bring your glasses? You know, just in case, I mean," Shintarou reached in to his messenger bag, and fished out a leather glasses case, shaking it to prove that the content was in it as well. "Did you definitely bring your paperwork?"

"Ayano, you were with me when we packed it into my bag,"

"Did you bring any reference books with you?"

"I have it all at my office in the hospital already."

"Your phone?"

"Never will forget it," Shintarou said, patting his pocket, knocking against the hard plastic casing of his phone.

"Wallet?"

"That's almost a basic thing no one should ever forget,"

"Er... coke?"

And Shintarou immediately stopped in his tracks, paling slightly as he remembered that he had forgotten to pack his beloved fizzy drink with him to work. "Shit... I left at home in the fridge..." he whimpered softly, hiding his head in his hands. He wouldn't have made it a habit to bring a coke bottle to him every day at work if the vending machines at the hospital had actually sold coke- however it unfortunately didn't, and only coffee, fruit-flavored water, vitamin water, Pocari sweat and green tea filled up the slots of the machines.

"I-I'm pretty sure you can suffice with vitamin water or something?" Ayano suggested.

"No way, vitamin water tastes weird."

"I happen to actually like vitamin water! It's probably because you tried it after drinking a fizzy drink. Those two tastes don't go well together!"

"Since when did you become a drink connoisseur?"

"Ever since I began hanging around with you at your work," Ayano giggled, and soon Shintarou joined her with near-silent laughter.

"You know, you don't have to keep hanging around me during work," Shintarou said, glancing at Ayano for about two seconds, for turning away again. His inability to keep eye contact with her was bound to stir up some form of teasing with Momo and his co workers. "Don't you want to get a job soon too, Ayano? You can't keep being unemployed forever..."

Ayano put a finger to her lips, and winked, "Who said I was planning to be unemployed forever?" she slowly reached for Shintarou's hand, causing Shintarou to jerk slightly from it, from the feeling of her petite fingers wrapped around his hand, warm against his cold self. "Hey Shintarou, I was planning to-" but before Ayano could finish her sentence, a blood curdling shriek was heard, followed by another scream, however the final scream was more coherent, as if to be calling out a name.

"HIYORI!"

Shintarou and Ayano instantly turned their heads to the source of the voice, their eyes immediately widening in shock when they saw the scene ahead of them. Blood pooled around the stilll body of a girl at the edge of a truck, a boy rushing up to her immediately, cradling her in his arms, while crying loudly for help. People began to slowly gather around this scene, all with shocked expressions on their faces.

What pissed Shintarou off the most, was that none of them had bothered to help the young boy.

Running as fast as he could, Shintarou headed towards the boy and the girl, with Ayano following behind him as well, her red scarf flying behind her like two red wings or a cape. Why the hell didn't I do well in P.E? He thought to himself, sighing in relief when he managed to get to the children on time. "Hey, hey, what's wrong?" Shintarou asked in his calmest voice. Well, no duh, Shintarou, there's a dying girl right there!

"H-Hiyori, s-she..." the boy sniffled before bursting into tears again, before being comforted by Ayano, who had immediately taken him in her arms, and began to hush him softly. This is why I didn't become a children's pediatrician, Shintarou noted, before shrugging off his bag, and rolling up his sleeves. He carefully placed two fingers on the girl's wrist, and leaned in to listen to her breathing.

It was weak, raggedy, but it was there. The girl was still living, but she was dying. "Ayano, quick, call the ambulance, this girl will probably only have about 20 minutes left to live unless we get her to proper medical care already."

I tried? Kind of? At AU-ing. I'm not very used to AU-ing, and had turned to my friend for help with prompts. Originally, it was going to be a police force AU, but then I changed it to a hospital, doctor AU- mainly because I had recently watching a Clinic on the Sea, and was probably influenced by that LOL
