"Sir?" A young woman in a formal, green striped suit said her voice clear and caused some of the other coworkers to look up from their desks. She tilted her head slightly, her deep honey colored eyes frowning in concern. "Sir, are you all right?" She repeated more firmly, raising her voice louder. She carefully placed her clipboard under her arm and tapped the sleeping superior on the shoulder.
"Hn?" Was the drowsy response and she smiled the best she could.
"Sir, you fell asleep. Are you ok? You look—well horrible to put it bluntly." She scratched a few notes onto her clipboard and exhaled deeply. "You have a patient in room two hundred seven. It seems like a common cold but—"
"—yes, hold on I'll be there in a second…" Kanda grumbled at Emily, scratching the side of his head drowsily. 'Damn I can't believe I took a nap here of all places…' Rubbing his eyes, hoping they didn't have any bags, he walked through the corridors at a well kept pace. 'Room two hundred seven, room two hundred seven, oh here it is…'
He opened the door and tried to compose his appearance as much as possible before he entered. A small boy, about nine years old was lying down on the white papered bed, his nose a bright red and he cheeks looking quite flushed. Kanda smiled lightly, and sat down in his chair, typing the patient's name, Howard, into the computers memory. Grabbing his stethoscope from his neck, he placed it into his ears and rolled his seat over to the boy.
"Ok kid, lift up your shirt and take deep breaths." He ordered firmly, and bit his inner cheek to stop from sneering as the boy gasped at the cold metal. "What are his conditions?" He directed his question to the old nun sitting in the corner of the room.
"Well, a small fever, a headache, running nose, he says that he has difficulty swallowing solids…" She trailed off as Kanda silenced her with his hand, and listened intently to the heart's unsteady beats. "Ya, it's probably just a cold ma'am."
"A cold? Well, that's a relief. Any medicines we should buy in specific?"
"Ew!" Howard groaned, his face contorting into one of disgust. "No way old lady!"
Kanda raised an eyebrow and quickly wrote up a few commonly used medications, grinning at the face the kid was making at him. "Here you go." Said Kanda and handed her the paper. "The nurse will see you out."
Just as he opened the door, Miranda Lotto, another experienced doctor working at the hospital, walked in with a frown, blushing. "Uh, sir, they're someone waiting for you on the fifth floor…"
"Fuck…"he muttered under his breath.
"Excuse me sir?"
"Nothing, nothing." He walked out of the room smirking just as Howard screamed. "HEY OLD LADY WHAT DOES F-CK MEAN?"
Clicking the button on the elevator, Kanda sighed deeply, running a hand through his hair. 'Please let it be a freaking patient…Damn, stupid hangover…stupid kid…stupid Emily!' Even though cursing his secretary was rude, he just hated the way she flirted with him.
The doors opened and he stepped inside, wincing at the extremely loud elevator music. Life was getting back at him.
Screw karma.
Stepping out after the lurching stop, he walked over to the secretary's desk. "Someone's waiting for me?"
"Uh, yes, that will be him over there." The clerk pointed to an uncomfortable looking white haired teen sitting in the corner of the room.
"Moyashi?" said Kanda incredulously, trying to keep his anger in check. 'He better not have brought that bitch—'
"Hello Kanda…" A girl's voice said innocently from behind him and Allen threw him an apologetic glance.
"…Lenalee." He said stiffly, eyeing her coldly. "What do you two want?"
"To apologize." Allen and Lenalee said in unison, eyeing the floor like it was made of gold. He knew they were nervous, he knew that they wanted to get it over with, he knew what was gonna come out their mouths, he knew that there hearts were pounding. And he knew how much he hated her. How much he wanted to stab her with the pen in his pocket, he wanted it so bad he nearly choked on the emotions. But there was no point because he couldn't do any of those things and he had to stand there and swallow his anger. "It's fine." He murmured, straightening his shoulders. "I'm busy right now so if you guys could leave…Now."
The headache was back, and Kanda watched them leave, hand in hand, and sneered at the sight.
Back to work.

Lavi filed the documents with his right hand while the other typed key codes into the sleek, black computer. Reaching for his stapler he sighed, tapping his fingers on the keyboard impatiently. The clock's ticking was monotonous, and the computer was lagging big time. He needed a break. He needed a coffee.
"Uh, excuse me?" A young, cute woman asked, waving her hands in front of his eyes, well eye. "I'm gonna check out these books…" There was heavy, old, leather bound books in her arms and she placed them on the table with a sigh.
"Ok." He smiled brilliantly at her. "Only if I get to ask you out." 'Damn, she's hot...how old is she? Seventeen?'
"Huh? No, I mean, wait…" She trailed off, her face tinting red. She composed herself for a second and then smiled back. "My names Alex, first of all."
"Alex," Lavi grinned, scanning the books onto the red lazar light. "That's a cute name…say you come here often?"
"Sorta of. I'm busy a lot of the time but…whatever. I'll see you around ok?" She smirked and grabbed the books from the counter, walking out the libraries doors.
'Damn, what a turn on. Oh well, next contestant is…?'
"Bookman!" Tyki Mikk sighed from behind the red head, his eyes wavering to the face to lower and then back to his face. "Will you stop flirting with the girls and get your work done?"
"Bite me…" Lavi grumbled, lazily flopping his head onto the counter. "Can't I have a vacation?"
"Sure."
"Really?"
"Ya, go work in the kids department. They just put up a beach poster up." Tyki chuckled, running a hand through his hair. Seeing the scowl etched on his coworkers face, he grinned wider. "Well, get to it Bookman!"
'Aw ewwww, children screaming and spitting on my face is far from peace of mind…' Lavi thought, trudging his way up the stairs where a kid nearly ran him over. And that damn clock never left him alone.
Back to work.

The sun was setting back into the hills, the gravel road white with the freshly fallen snow, the sounds of boots hitting gravel, laughing, and car horns.
Lavi shoved his hands deep into his pockets when he phone suddenly began vibrating. Pulling it out, he sighed and muttered "Hello?"
"I hate my life." Was the response and Lavi smiled brightly. "Hey Kanda, where are you?"
"Turn around Baka."
