Chiropractor Ghost who sees a particular patient whenever they are home from deployment with the latest injury/strain/dislocation. They build up a great rapport and Ghost even nicknames him Johnny despite his usual cold and professional nature.
After a pretty bad back injury Johnny is on his table regularly while heβs on extended medical leave. Their banter dips further and further into the deep pool of flirtation and what was once a schoolboy crush is becoming terminal attraction. Simon finds himself looking forward to their sessions and feeling lighter afterwards. The spring he sees on the manβs step after the careful adjustment mirrored in his own.
After a particularly brutal back crack Johnny jokes βBuy a lad a drink first, aye Doc?β
Once again, despite himself Ghost hears his own voice say βIβll be at the pub over the road at 6:30, meet me there and Iβll get you that drink, reckon you deserve it after all that.β He tries to play it off as a joke but the sincerity is hard to deny, he expects the worst but is surprised by the bright smile he gets in response.
βIβll hold you to that, Doc.β Johnny says with a cheeky wink.
6:28 Simon is fidgeting at his usual booth in the dark and quiet corner of the pub when a familiar devastating body walks in and looks around disappointedly. Simon waves to get his attention and Johnny lights up at the sight of him.
He gets him that drink. Then dinner. Then a scotch.
Then he takes him home and blows his back out in a much more pleasant manner for the both of them than when he has Johnny on his exam table.
πΌπ OOC. Iβve tried all day to muster energy for writingβan ounce of it will doβbut, now that 7pm has quickly come, it seems my efforts were futile π sjklfllkjg Iβve quite literally spent the entire day just relaxing & crocheting, which has admittedly been delightful, but I must say that I really wish I got more done on here instead β¦ π
technically, though, things were done π β¦ they just havenβt been posted ! π·Iβve nearly finished all those short starters, but they desperately need thoughtful revision β¦ which also requires energy I simply do not have today ππbut things are coming, friends ! I promise you πΌπ
Sorry I didn't write today, I had to get a lot of work done now that I'm back and a 700 page book I'd been waiting on came out on Friday so I've just been a bit distracted. Should be a chill week at work though and I'm 42% done with the book so π I should be able to write after I grade each night- then obviously I'll be on at the weekend.
One of my favorite parts of this game is getting to the towers and getting this cutscene. Itβs the music, I think. That, and itβs as though with each tower discovered Link is slowly bringing hope to this devastated land.
Also yesss thatβs a Lynel shield on Linkβs back. Iβm not too shabby at defeating those bad boys if I can say so myself :D
In his dreams, where life is still beautiful -- he does not have need to grasp his sceptre so tightly. In his waking moments, he is but a pallid reflection.
The king finds himself wandering once more. To where he will go, only he knows. He seems to be particularly drawn to water, these days. A lake, or spring...
