I really like Tom and Sam as a pair, and I hope there's more of it over the series. Anyway this is my story, maybe a two-shot maybe a three-shot, I can't decide. :/
Disclaimer: I do not own Casualty or Sam or Tom, but I do own the plot and Mr McRay.
There's always one!
Tom was just coming in to do his shift. He had been a bit unwell some of the week but was feeling much better now. Also he just wanted to see Sam she always cheered him up no matter what mood either of them were in. He walked through to the staff room and saw Sam lying on the couch with her hands on her head.
"Morning Sam" Tom said cheerfully
"Ssssssshhhhhh" She said
"Someone's a bit hangover" Tom said in a singsong voice
"Shut up Tom, otherwise you will be sorry" she mumbled
"Oh yeah, what you going to do to me" Tom said as he danced around them room. At that moment in time Sam stood up went over to Tom and took his legs out without a fight. He landed with a thump onto the floor, he didn't move; Sam had managed to knock him out, this was a very bad way to start the day. She went and got a mug of water and sat on the floor next to him. She lent her head back against the table and closed her eyes, just for a second she told herself, just for a second.
Zoe was walking round cubicles making sure everything was in order, today she had her new boss following her every move. They had gotten off on the wrong foot after Zoe accidently swore down the phone at him by mistake it was headed at someone else. This needed to go to plan today, nothing should go wrong, she hoped. She looked at the list on the wall to see who was working today, the normal crew she thought, Tom, Sam, Dylan and her as the mains and Linda, Fletch, Lloyd and Tess and 3 other nurse on help. She had seen them all expect Tom and Sam this morning but she had more important things to worry about and their shift hadn't really started yet, they've got about 5 minutes. She carried on with her rounds when she bumped into Linda, Fletch, Tess, Big Mac and Noel at the front desk.
"Morning all" she said
"Hey" they all murmured as a replay
"Oh Zoe" Tess said
"Yeah"
"Lloyd is off for the next 3 days, he's come up with a horrible sickness and a rash so I've given him the rest of the week off, he'll be in next Tuesday."
"Ok, thanks for letting me know and tell him to get well soon" Zoe said while walking away. She had about 5 minutes until her new boss here, she only knew him as Mr McRay, this was going to be interesting.
Linda, Fletch, Tess, Big Mac and Noel were all around the front desk talking.
"Where's Louise today then?" Linda asked
"She's off on a nice 2 week holiday in the South of France and then onto Italy for a few days" Noel explained.
"That's nice" Big Mac said
"What was that for" Noel asked
"Nothing I just said that was nice that she was off on holiday"
"I know you did but you said it in that voice"
"What voice?
"You know the voice you use when you are either proving people right or you think it's bad for them"
"I don't"
"Yes you did"
"No I didn't" They kept arguing like this for a few more minutes until Fletch interrupted,
"It nice talking to you but me and Linda got work to do so bye" He said
"Yeah bye" Noel replied quickly before turning back to Big Mac to carry on the argument.
"What are we going to do with the 2 of them?" Linda asked
"Oh don't worry they'll get hungry in a minute and get over it"
"That's true" She replied, as they walked past the staff room, "Hold on two ticks Fletch, I just want to get a quick drink before we start a busy day."
"Ok" He answered. Linda open the door to the staff room and took 3 steps and then saw Sam and Tom, she looked at them wondering what they are doing, Sam look likes she's sleeping whereas Tom is flat out on the floor like he's been knocked out. Linda carefully and quietly stepped back out of the room and faced Fletch,
"You have got to have a look at this" She whispered. She then opened the door again and let Fletch go in first. He turned back to face Linda and giggled quietly. He then took out his phone and took a load of pictures, blackmail he thought, they could come into some use some point in the future. He turned again to Linda and said
"Should we wake them up?"
"Um…" She wasn't sure, they looked cosy and snug on the floor "Na, they're not needed at the moment let them have a bit longer"
"What you're looking at?" Jeff said from outside the room
"Ssssssshhhhhh" Linda and Fletch replied
"Why" Dixie said while taking a step forward
"Look" Linda said moving out of the way
"Oh how cute" Dixie whispered
"Does that mean there going out because if so Big Mac and Noel owe me money" Jeff asked
"No I don't think so" Fletch said "Although we can ask them later, a bit of blackmail may come in handy"
"You got pictures?"
"You bet" Fletch said while showing them to Jeff.
"Hey guys what you all doing?" Noel asked, they showed Tom and Sam to him, "I've got to tell Big Mac" Noel got out his phone and texted him within a matter of seconds Big Mac was also inside the small space of room. There were now 6 of them just looking at the two of them when Tess and Lloyd came into the staff room by the other door.
"I don't see why I have to miss work for this silly course" Lloyd said while walking backwards into the room. As he turned around his hand went to his mouth as he saw Tom and Sam on the floor but also the 6 people with a finger to their mouth signalling to be quiet. Tess looked over Lloyd's shoulder to see Tom and Sam, and then she beckoned to the rest of them to meet her outside.
They all crept outside and closed the door behind them.
"What is going on?" Tess asked
"Well," Then suddenly they all started to talk at once
"HOLD ON" Tess shouted "Linda you start as it seems you were here first."
"Well I just came in for a quick drink and saw them lying like this, so then I brought in Fletch to see and then Jeff and Dixie wondered what we were looking at and then Noel came in and texted Big Mac and the Lloyd and you walked through the other door." Linda explained
"Ok then so how long have these two been like this?" Tess questioned
"Well me and Linda were here about 5 minutes ago, but I haven't seen these two all morning, so I don't know" Fletch explained.
"So what shall we do?" Noel asked Tess,
"Well they need to be up and working so I will wake them up with Fletch, the rest of you will go back to work and won't say a thing because Zoe has a very stressful day and she doesn't need it to start like this, ok?" Tess said
"Ok" everybody said back to Tess
"Right lets go wake up Sleeping beauty and his assistant" Fletch said
"Don't you mean Sleeping beauty and her assistant" Tess questioned
"No I don't" Fletch said with a laugh.
They walked into the room and looked at each other.
"Who do you want to wake up first?"
"Sam, we'll wake up Sam first" Tess said. They walked over to Sam minding Tom's head and slowly shaking her from the shoulders,
"Sam, Sam wake up" Fletch said. Her head started to move and a grumble came from her mouth it sound something like 'leavemealone' but Fletch couldn't be sure. Suddenly her eye open wide and she looked around and saw Tess and Fletch staring at her.
"How much trouble am I in?" She asked while her head was in her hands
"Depends on the story" Tess replied "and why Tom is like he is" Sam huffed, she really didn't feel like speaking but it was too late for that. She explained everything from her and Tom's first kiss in the pub to last night helping a friend get over a break up and then to what happened this morning when she accidently knocked out Tom.
"Oh that's a long few weeks" Fletch said
"Yeah thanks like I don't already know that" Sam replied.
"So how long have you been here for?" Tess questioned. Sam looked up at the clock on the wall, she worked out that she had been in here for about 30 minutes, and that Tom had been out cold for 10 minutes.
"Um I think Tom's been like this for about 10 minutes or so" She explained.
"Right let's get him into resus to see why he's been out cold for so long." Tess explained "and Fletch you go and make sure Sam is alright in a cubicle please"
"I'm fine thanks Tess" Sam said
"No please do this, just a quick check, nothing more"
"Ok then" Sam said, she was in no mood to fight this morning so she just got off the floor and followed Fletch.
