Work And Play

Chapter 7: Health and Healing

"Come on, Ethan. Almost there."

"Yeah, you can do it," York added in an encouraging way. "Just keep on walking and focus on things other than the pain. Alright?"

Hawaii muttered under his breath, inwardly cursing the extreme agony that was coursing through his foot at the moment. He was currently walking in between Colorado and York with both arms slung around their shoulders, half leaning his weight up against them due to the fact his right ankle was sprained.

"No, I'm not alright," Hawaii complained bitterly. "Have you ever had a freaking sprained ankle, York?"

"Can't say I have."

"Well, shut up then!"

Colorado sent her best friend a stern glare. "Hawaii, do not be rude to York. He's trying to help for crying out loud. Be grateful."

Hawaii soon shut his mouth when she reprimanded him. He knew better not to pass a smart-ass retort otherwise there will be absolute hell to pay. Within a minute or so the trio arrived outside the medical bay of the Freelancer base. Colorado gently rapped on the door and soon enough out came Doc. A small smile crept on his face as a friendly greeting. It wasn't long when he was acting professional when he noticed the state that Hawaii was in.

"Oh my!" exclaimed Doc. "That's a nasty swollen ankle you've got there. How did you manage to do that?"

Colorado spoke on his behalf, "Short story is, Doc, that Hawaii pissed off South. She chased after him around the weaponry room. He tripped over while running and landed in quite an awkward position."

"Hmm, I see. Well, I'm just about to leave for my lunch break right now, so I'll get Medical Officer Emma Tong to give you a look over. You'll have nothing to worry about because you're in capable hands, Hawaii."

With that, Doc sauntered off, obviously heading towards the direction of the cafeteria. Hawaii tried his best to call out after him, but nevertheless his loud words fell upon death ears. York and Colorado both looked at Hawaii, noticing his face had dropped immediately.

"Oh no!" Hawaii shaked his head out of disbelief. "Please don't leave me with Tongs!"

"I heard that, idiot!"

A female in purple armour suddenly appeared in the doorway. Her longish hair was slightly flowing down her shoulders. She gently adjusted her glasses, pushing them up so that they were resting against the bridge of her nose.

"Welcome to Health and Healing," Emma said. "How may I be of assistance to you?"

"Yes. Could you possibly take a look at my friend's ankle? It's heavily sprained and-"

Unfortunately Hawaii choose that moment to interrupt York by holding up a hand in mid-air. Colorado nudged him in the ribs, hissing for Hawaii to not kick up a fuss.

"You know something? I actually feel better. Much better!" he explained quickly while squeezing out of his friends' tight grip. "I'll be on my way now. Sorry for wasting your time, To – Ow, fuck it!"

Another surge of pain, this time much stronger than before, run through him as soon as he went to step forward on his bad foot. A string of various profanities escaped from the injured soldier's mouth, his front teeth digging into his bottom lip to prevent himself from crying out loud. All of them looked quite unimpressed with his foolish antics.

"Nice try, but you're not easily getting away from treatment," Emma commented as she dragged Hawaii inside.

A/N: I thought it would be interesting to see Hawaii's reaction when he knows he has to be treated by Medical Officer Emma Tong. Hawaii can be such a crybaby at times :D
