If you're reading this, thank you. Rare pairs don't get a lot of attention in big fandoms like this, especially one as unusual as OzMona. So I appreciate your support. This one has a lot of France in it but I'll try to focus more on our lovely couple in future one shots. Just a heads up, if you're squeamish you may not want to read this particular one. France and Australia have foreign objects lodged in their bodies. It's not really that graphic but I thought I'd warn ahead of time.
Anyway, enjoy!
"It's still moving."
Corrine looked up from the outdated magazine she was reading to glare at Francis from the corner of her eye.
"I'm not the one who needs an update on your "condition". I'd prefer you let the nurse know."
"I know but it's just...I didn't think the batteries I used would be so long-lasting."
"Well, perhaps next time you won't conduct such a shameful experiment while you're home alone."
Corrine sighed, going back to read her magazine. Of all the places she could be on a Saturday night, fate had decided on the ER. She had received a frantic call from Francis a couple of hours ago. Apparently he got a certain type of vibrating…sexual object stuck in a particular area. Which left Corrine with no choice but to drive him to the ER. Of all the things for this man to do. They had signed in ages ago but tonight the ER was busy and she was quickly losing her patience. She reached into her purse to check the time on her phone but she ended up dropping it on the floor. Before she could pick it up, a tanned arm reached out to grab it for her.
"Here's your phone." The young man said, offering it to her.
"Oh thank you I—" Corrine froze, holding back a gasp. It was one of the few times she had lost her composure. The young man's head was covered in blood which soaked his dark brown hair and stained his cheek. But what frightened her was the partial arrow sticking out the right side of his skull.
"Your—your head. It's…"
Surprisingly, he laughed as he placed the phone back in her hand.
"Yeah, I was fooling around and trying to learn archery when a friend took a shot. Accident of course. I was the one in the way. Yet he still kept apologizing on our way here."
"Mon dieu, that looks like it hurts." Francis commented, inserting himself into the conversation.
The stranger shrugged. "Nah, it's not that bad. I'm Australian, I've been through worse. What are you guys here for?"
Francis, without hesitation, blurted out: "I was bored and shoved a dildo up my ass."
"Francis." Corrine raged. She had to hide her face when other people in the vicinity turned to look. However, the young man began howling in laughter.
"And my dear friend Corrine." He paused to wrap an arm around her. "Came to my rescue to drive me here."
Corrine honestly thought she was going to die of embarrassment.
The man's laughter subsided enough for him to speak up again.
"Mate, you're lucky Corrine's that nice. If my friend had done something like that, I never would have let them live it down."
A nurse walked into the waiting room briefly examining the clipboard in her hand. "Francis Bonnefoy?"
"Ah that's me." Francis rose slowly from his chair and turned to look at Corrine.
"While I'm getting worked on, you two should stay and chat. He's pretty cute for a guy with an arrow sticking out of his head." With that, he half-waddled his way over to the nurse in pink scrubs.
Corrine was silent for a moment still recovering from embarrassment and now Francis' suggestion.
"Is it true?" Corrine looked up. "Am I cute for a guy with an arrow in his head?" He had a big ridiculous smile on his face yet Corrine found herself returning the gesture.
"Yes." She admitted with a laugh. "You are very cute."
I hope somebody out there enjoyed this. I may post some of my OzMona writings from Tumblr but I also want to add plenty of new ones to this collection. Comments, questions or concerns (so long as they are respectful) are always welcome.
Thank you again!
