Violet

This week was running violet ragged. It wasn't easy starting at a new hospital in a new town but she was convinced that she would make it in then end. Patient after patient came through her ward today some providing stories in which she questioned her choice of move.

Her current patient was giving her a headache if he hadn't of fallen asleep when he did she would of went mad. Not only was he dumb enough his gun to blow up ironically in his own hands he was demanding attention and constant pain medication in the few short hours he has been in her care. She couldn't wait for the last 10 minutes of her shift to be over and decided to go do her last check up before change over.

As she entered the patients room she was surprised to find he had a visitor lounging in the waiting chair. The Peculiar looking man took her breath away, she was never one for instant attraction but she couldn't seem to stop it the feeling running down her spine as she smiled at him. The odd choice of hair or lack there of definitely suited him.

Hello Im nurse Violet, I'm just doing my last check on him before the end of my shift." Violet replied finally shifting her eyes to the patient in question.

"Victor." He almost growled.

Violet swallowed the lump forming in her throat and moved towards her patient. Opening his eyelids with her finger she shined a light in his eyes before moving on to his heart rate and pulse. The man remained asleep most likely due to the heavy consumption of pain medication he had demanded not an hour ago.

Violet glanced over to Victor before noticing the sight stream of blood running down his right arm.

"Oh you're hurt! Come with me I can take a look at it, I uh mean if that's okay and you don't mind?" Violet studded.

Victor didn't respond as he stood and approached to follow her where she asked.

Violet smiled swiftly walking out of the room into another room close by. Violet gestured for victor to take a seat on the examination table.

"Do you mind removing your jacket and shirt so I can take a look?"

Again no words left Victors mouth as he followed her direction. Violet held her breath as his chest came into view.

His chest was a master piece with tally's lining up his left side and his left arm. Violet blushed as she subconsciously bit her lip and couldn't help the stare she gave his chest. Her distraction was short lived as she noticed the blood begin to trickle down his arm again. Violet grabbed his right arm inspecting the obvious entry wound of what she guessed was a bullet. She stood and turned around grabbing a pair of forceps, saline and a range of bandages.

"Do you need something for the pain?" Violet asked as she resumed her seat in front of victor.

"Im good." Victor muttered as his stare never left her face.

Violet composed herself as she used the saline to wash away some of the blood before using the forceps to reach into the small wound. Victor grunted as she finally latched onto the bullet. As Violet slowly withdrew the bullet she couldn't help but glance up towards victors face. Finding his stare remained on her and his face blank as if nothing was happening. Finally dislodging the bullet from his skin Violet was quick to place the object in a dish before flushing the wound once again.

Violet smiled up at victor as she layered and wrapped bandages around his arm.

"All good now, just be sure to wash the wound again tomorrow and keep it clean until it begins to heal. Did you want to keep this?" Violet smiled as she held out the bloody bullet.

"Thanks, appreciate it." Victor respond saying the most words he had to her the entire time before taking the bullet from her hands.

Violet glanced at her watch as her smiled faded of her face in a hurry.

"Shit I was meant to do my handover 10 minutes ago!" Violet jumped up hastily throwing out the used items in the trash. Violet rushed out of the door before take a step back and turning.

"Nice meeting you Victor" she smiled at the man in question.

Victor didn't replied but the small smirk gracing his face had violets nerves alight.
