Doctors Orders

Being a medical student was very stressful, but Blaine somehow managed to cope with the stress of it all, and still balance a healthy social life along with it. Nobody knew how he did it, but he did, and he was one of the most respected medical interns simply because he could walk into the hospital at 8am on Sunday morning with a big grin on his face and a bounce in his step. The doctors loved him, the nurses loved him, the surgeons loved him, the other interns loved him and all of the patients loved him. Even the children in paediatrics loved him, because every so often he would come along and fill their ward with the sound of his singing, which would bring a smile to anybody's face.

It was a Friday, and Blaine was at the hospital working a late shift. Patients had come and gone, most with injuries from a night of heavy drinking that were easily treatable, and so it was an easy night without any complicated procedures. That was until he heard Nurse Alicia call him into one of the patients room.

"Blaine! Blaine I need you in here!"

Blaine sighed, and jumped down from the nurse's station that he had previously been sitting on. He slipped his cell phone into the pockets of his scrubs and waltzed into the room that Alicia had been calling him from. However, when he got to the door, he stopped dead when he saw the patient that was occupying the bed.

He was tall, that was obvious to Blaine, with blond hair that fell across his forehead, just above his eyes. And his eyes, they were a gorgeous shade of green, and he noticed the way he sparkled when he smiled the way he was smiling at Blaine right now. Smiling, with lips that were huge, and should have looked weird, yet on him, looked absolutely perfect. The boy was absolutely gorgeous, no one in their right mind could deny that.

"Ah Blaine, there you are!" Alicia's high pitched voice pulled him from his thoughts, "this is Sam. He got injured at a concert and I need you to evaluate the injury."

"Where is it?"

"On his left ankle."

"….so why is he shirtless?" Not that he was complaining. Sam had the body of a Greek God.

"It was like, super hot in here." Sam informed him nonchalantly.

"Right…okay. Well, I'll take a look at it then."

"Thanks Blaine, you're a star. I'm going to go on a coffee run. Want anything?"

"Medium-"

"Medium drip. Got it!" Blaine laughed at her. Everybody knew about Blaine's coffee habits. They thought it explained a lot, to which Blaine would always pout and tell them "I'm not that hyperactive!".

Blaine turned back to Sam and said "Okay, let's take a look at this ankle then. Right ankle was it?"

"Left."

"Left, right. Wait…no…I mean…never mind, left ankle, got it." A blush began to creep up on Blaine's cheeks and Sam couldn't help but notice how adorable it made him look. But he was just noticing out of boredom. Totally not developing a little crush on his extremely cute doctor. Absolutely not.

"Does this hurt?" Sam's attention was drawn to Blaine, who was twisting his ankle left slightly, making pain shoot up his leg.

"Ouch! Yes, that hurts. Like, a lot", he said through gritted teeth, hissing through the pain.

"Ooh, shoot, sorry about that!" Blaine apologized profusely, not wanting the blond to be in pain. He wanted to see that smile. He continued to gently prod at it and twist it every which way, before deciding that an x-ray was needed. "I think you're going to need an x-ray Sam, just so we can see properly what we're dealing with here. How're you to walk on it?"

"Uh, I'm pretty sure I'll be fine." Sam swung his legs over the side of the bed and put his weight on his right foot, hauling himself upright. He stepped forward, and tried to put his weight on his left foot. But, the pain was almost unbearable, and Sam would have hit the floor for definite if Blaine's strong arms hadn't of caught him.

"Oh shi- uh, I mean damn. Thank you. For, you know, catching me", now it was Sam who blushed, and Blaine would be damned if it wasn't the cutest thing he'd ever seen.

"It's not a problem, really. Here, let me help." Blaine snaked an arm around Sam's waist and Sam slipped his arm around Blaine's shoulders to help him support his weight.

"So", Blaine began, "you did this at a concert?"

"Yeah, it was a stupid mistake. I couldn't see where the steps were and instead of being careful, I just barrelled forwards as usual. As you can tell, that didn't work out for me."

Blaine laughed, "no, clearly not" he smiled, "So, are you from this area?"

"Actually, I'm from Ohio, but I just moved here really recently, moved in with some friends from high school. The concert was sort of a 'Welcome to Boston' thing on their behalf."

"You're from Ohio? That's cool, me too, except I've lived here for like, two years now."

"Oh, that's cool! You know, I thought you looked kinda familiar. Were you a Dalton Warbler…by any chance?"

"Yes! I was the lead soloist for the Warblers for 3 years! How did you know?"

"I was in New Directions myself, but I wasn't like…a soloist or anything. I recognised you from competition I guess."

"Wow, you were in the New Directions! That's really cool! So, what're you doing in Boston?"

"I don't know. I'm probably just gonna try to find a job, maybe as a personal trainer or something. I tried the whole college thing, but I guess it just wasn't for me". Blaine noticed the sad tone to his voice, but had the bring the conversation to an end before he could pry.

"Well, here we are. There'll be different doctors dealing with you from here, so I guess I'll see you around. It was a pleasure to meet you Sam. And good luck."

"It was great to meet you Blaine. Really great. See you round, man."

Blaine waved to the tall blond over his shoulder and turned to walk back to Alicia's station to wait on his medium drip. As he walked, he couldn't help but think of Sam. Sam. He was so cute and one of the nicest guys Blaine had ever talked to. He was just disappointed he never got his number. Then again, he didn't even know if Sam was gay or not.

"One medium drip, honey!" Alicia's voice startled him, and once he'd slowed his heart rate, he took his drip and sipped it. He sighed in contentment and started up conversation with Alicia. They talked about the TV shows they'd be watching, or more specifically, the clothes they'd seen the stars wearing on E!

Blaine was deep in conversation about how to work burgundy, when one of the doctors from the next ward spoke to him.

"Hey Blaine, some blond asked me to give this to 'Blaine, the cute short one with all the hair gel'".
