Words: 2.2k

Pairing: Neil Melendez x Doctor!reader

A/N: It's ridiculous how much time I wasted searching for a gif and still ending up unsatisfied. But for some reason when I search for gifs on tumblr for my writing I just get reaction memes these days. It's so annoying! Anyway, this was requested. I hope you like it and it's the way you imagined :) I really want to write more again, because it felt so good to just sit down and start typing, but life is so busy at the moment and both my physical and mental health aren't so great too! Hopefully it will all get better soon :)

You should have known it would be ‘one of those days’ when you walked into work with a belly ache, but you didn’t think much of it, hoping if you just ignored it the pain would eventually go away.

Only it didn’t. Instead it got worse, spreading into your lower back and making it hard to keep standing. All you wanted to do was sit or lie down and not move anymore, perhaps even curl over until the pain faded.

But you were on shift, the ER was buzzing and the hospital was understaffed. Sighing you grabbed the next patient’s file, scanning it quickly as you made your way over to where he was seated. Too late you realized someone was crossing your way and you bumped right into them, startling at the unexpected contact.

“Sorry!” You took a step back and glanced up at the man dressed in the blue scrubs, relieved but also a little nervous to find it was Neil Melendez. The two of you got along well, so well that it made you hope he would eventually ask you out.

But he hadn’t yet and you didn’t have the heart to do it yourself, fearing the humiliation of a rejection since you would have to keep working together.

Neil teased you and he flirted with you, but that didn’t have to mean anything. He was naturally charming. Still you hoped for the moment to come, your heart always losing its steady rhythm for a second when you laid eyes on him.

“It’s nothing.” He smiled at you and you tried to reciprocate it, but a sharp pain in your belly made your face twist in pain instead. “Well, I should get going”, you said once the pain had ebbed a little, but you didn’t make it far as Neil held you back by your elbow.

“You okay?” His brows were knitted and he watched you with a frown, his eyes darting over your face before he locked eyes with you again. You drew in a breath, tensing a little at the proximity and trying to ignore your galloping heart.

“Yeah, I’m fine”, you brushed it off, this time managing a smile. You saw Neil slightly narrow his eyes at you, but before he could say anything else you offered him a nod and hurried away.

-

You had never looked so much forward to your break, the imagination of finally sitting down and eating a meal keeping you going for the rest of the morning. But just as you handed over your last patient’s file, planning to head to the cafeteria, a voice called you back.

It was Dr. Lim. She was marching over to you and you could tell from her face she wanted something from you.

Not now.

“What is it?”, you asked, once she came to stand beside you, not hiding your frustration. The other doctor looked at you surprised, before holding an iPad out to you. “The imaging and report from Mr. Wellington’s CT just came in.”

You let your eyes flicker over it, not finding anything worth this fuss. “And?”, you asked, sounding as impatient as you felt to get held back. “That’s what I thought too”, Audrey continued unbothered, “but then I found this.” She used her fingers to zoom in on it.

“See this shadow?”

You squinted your eyes. “Could be anything.” “Right, but it looks like a small tumour. I already ran a biopsy. The results should be in soon.”

You glanced up at her, waiting for her to come to the point. When she didn’t say more you sighed. “So? Why are you showing me this?”

“Okay-“, Audrey snapped the iPad’ case shut, handing it over to the nurse’s desk, “Someone’s in a mood today!”

You winced under her glare, regretting how harsh you had sounded. It wasn’t her fault you were having a bad day and she didn’t deserve your attitude. “Sorry.”

You closed your eyes and took a deep inhale, trying to push away your annoyance. You really didn’t want to argue with Audrey today. Especially not over something stupid like this.

“It’s just-” You opened your eyes again, gesturing at the busy ER. “-My back is killing me and I have the worst cramps and I just want to lay down and suffer in silence.”

You let out a chuckle at your dramatic words and the way they came out as if they had been at the tip of your tongue only waiting to slip out, which probably wasn’t far from the truth, and Audrey offered you a sympathetic smile. “That time of the month?”

You nodded, surprised that you didn’t feel embarrassed to talk about it with her. Audrey always seemed so strong and unbothered and you couldn’t imagine her whining over a stupid period. But she seemed to know exactly what you were talking about.

“The mood swings are the worst for me. You might know I’m not the most patient person out there-”, you grinned, thinking of the many incidents she had proven what a short temper she coud have, “but during that time? You really don’t want to pick a fight with me then!”

You laughed. It was just too easy to imagine. “I bet Melendez and Andrews have made that mistake.” Audrey’s face lit up. “Oh, trust me they have!” She shook her head, smiling. “And they learn from it.”

“As they should”, you nodded, “at least they don’t have to attempt 12-hour shifts while it feels like their insides get twisted inside-out.”

Audrey laid her hand on your lower arm, squeezing lightly. “Ibuprofen’s your best friend. And if you ever need to take a break and lay down just tell me.”

You felt a lump forming in your throat and you had to will back your tears. Damn hormones! “Thank you.” You hoped she could hear how sincere you were, the thought of having an escape providing you with relief strong enough to give you a little energy back.

“We women have to stick together.” Audrey squeezed your arm again, before retreating and you looked after her for a moment, grateful to have a friend in her.

-

When you had finally made it to the cafeteria, your pager had gone off right as it had been your turn to order. “You can’t be serious”, you muttered as you pulled it out and read it. “Hey, are you going to order or what?”, you heard someone ask behind you, but without another word you took off, praying you would make it to your patient in time.

Luckily you had. But afterwards you had been pulled right into another case and before you knew it, it had grown dark outside and your stomach was growling at you.

The cafeteria was long closed and so you got a chocolate bar from the vending machine, promising yourself to get real food once you were off the clock.

The ER had quietened down as it often did at the end of your shift and since you had never taken your break you allowed yourself a moment to take a breath in the resident’s lounge.

Although you weren’t a resident anymore you still liked to come here. Perhaps it was the closeness to Neil’s office or the quiet it provided at the end of the day when the residents had all gone home. There was no one who could tell you off as you curled up on the sofa.

The chocolate tasted heavily in your mouth and you devoured it until the last crumb. “You look like you just fell in love.”

“Huh?” You glanced up, to find Neil at the door, casually entering the room and coming to stand in front of you.

He gestured towards the wrapper you had placed on the table. “The chocolate.”

Oh. You let out a chuckle as you realized you had stared at it longingly while you had contemplated whether it was reasonable to get up and get another one or if it wasn’t worth the effort it would take to search for a vending machine.

“That was probably the best chocolate I’ve ever had”, you declared and Neil chuckled. “Your standards are very low then.” You tried to look offended but failed. “Don’t speak ill of the vending machines. They are real life savers. And it’s been a tough day.”

You said it lightly, but you saw Neil’s jaw twitch at the last part. “What happened?”

He walked over to where you were sitting and you shuffled to the side to make space for him. He leaned against the armrest, his body angled towards yours. “Nothing I-”

But suddenly tears were clouding your eyes as all the emotions you had bottled up threatened to spill over. “Damn it!” You wiped at your eyes before the tears could spill, feeling your cheeks heat up in embarrassment.

You didn’t need to look at Neil’s face to see the worry on it.

“Sorry”, you let out an embarrassed chuckle and Neil smiled at you softly. “I’m usually not this emotional. It’s been a long day that’s all.”

“You have had longer ones and didn’t bat an eye.” It wasn’t an accusation, only genuine confusion on Neil’s part and your heart swelled at the hidden compliment and how much he cared to understand you.

“Yeah”, you muttered, closing your eyes as another cramp hit you. When you opened them again you hoped your face hadn’t betrayed you and given away your discomfort, but the disadvantage at working so closely together was that Neil could read you by now.

Before he could make any wild guesses, you decided to just tell him the truth.

You didn’t have to be embarrassed about it, shouldn’t feel that way, yet it was easier said than done. You didn’t want him to think you couldn’t take the hardships of the job, that you were weak or dramatic. But even as you thought it you knew Neil would never think that of you.

Or anyone.

He wasn’t like that, wasn’t intimidated by strong willed women or the reality of what it was like to be one.

Taking a long inhale and an even longer exhale you looked up at him. “I got my period this morning and I’ve been in pain all day.” Now that you had gotten the words out you suddenly had the urge to let it all out.

“And my back is like- so bad. But the cramps are the worst. And I snapped at Audrey. And then again at Glassman. And I almost bawled my eyes out when my patient made it out of surgery and his wife came to see him. And this-”, you gestured at yourself, “is the first break I have gotten all day and I don’t think I’m ever gonna stand up again.”

You stared at Neil in shock for a moment as you realized what had just happened, but then you let out a laugh. “Wow and that just came out like one long sentence!”

Neil chuckled in amusement. “That seems like a really crappy day”, he agreed and you nodded in relief that he seemed to take it serious. “Right? I mean, there are worse things, obviously, but still-” You clutched your belly again, letting out a hiss of pain.

When you looked back up Neil had shifted closer to you, his frown back in place. “Why didn’t you call in sick?”

“Really?” You shook your head, amused and a little frustrated. “I can’t just call in sick every month.”

“It’s this bad every month?”

You nodded. “Most of the time, yeah. Sometimes it’s better, other’s it’s worse. But that’s just how it is.”

Neil face twisted, clearly displeased with what you had said or the situation, perhaps both. “It shouldn’t be like that”, he said then and you looked at him for a moment, taking in his sincerity. “I mean, yeah”, you agreed after a moment. “What, you want to change the whole system now?”

Neil’s mouth curled up in the hint of a smile. “Not tonight, no. I have better plans.”

Your face fell a little as you felt a hint of disappointment at his words. Maybe he was just hanging out with friends or visiting his sister you tried to reason. But the thought of him having plans with another woman gnawed at you.

“Really? What could be better than that?”, you asked teasingly and he tipped his head towards you. “Someone needs to show you what real chocolate tastes like.”

Oh. Your hope arose so strongly you almost forgot to breathe for a moment. “And my sofa is even more comfortable than this one.” He patted the couch you were seated on, not breaking eye contact once.

You still looked at him in shock, unable to form words as you processed his. “You’re baiting me with chocolate?”, you asked once the shock had faded a little, cautious not to put too much weight into his words and Neil grinned. “I do give great massages too. I cook. And I have a big movie collection to distract you from, you know, the pain and all that.”

You smiled widely at him. “Now that wins me over”, you stated, although the thought of spending time alone with Neil was already enough. But it didn’t make his promises less appealing. And it made you feel warm inside to know how much he cared and that he had put so much thought into what he could do to make you feel better.

“Great.” He stood up. “So it’s a date?” For the first time he sounded nervous and it made your heart flutter to know it was because of you. That this, whatever it was between you, mattered to him too.

“It’s a date.”

Melendez x reader - a chance

Could I get a Dr. Melendez x reader? The reader is shy, quiet, short, and chubby and she is shocked when he asks her out. She is his age and is a nurse. - Anon💜

Standing next to the desk, you crouched down, smiling at the little girl who has run over to you.

“My mommy wants ice chips, can I have ice chips?” She asked.

“Absolutely, you can both have some.”

The girl grinned from ear to ear and followed you to get the two cups, and you walked her back to her moms room, smiling at the woman.

“I’m sorry, I told her not to ask.”

“You don’t have to worry, it’s what it’s there for, and we’ve got more than enough to share. Do you need anything else?”

The woman shook her head and you smiled as you left her room, heading back to the nurses station.

Humming to yourself, you began to wonder in and out of every room to make sure that everybody was doing okay before writing it all in their files.

“Alright, I’m done, I’m going home.”

“See you later (Y/N).” The other nurse smiled.

Smiling back, you headed to grab you things before making your way towards the stairs.

You looked at the time and sighed to yourself, you were hungry, but you were also tired and didn’t know what you wanted to do first.

If you napped, you could eat later, but you thought maybe eating first would be the best idea.

While you were walking down the stairs, you heard someone fall in line with you and you snapped out of your head, looking towards the side.

“Oh Doctor Melendez, is everything alright? Do you need something?” You asked.

“I just saw you leaving and thought I’d walk out with you if that’s alright?” He asked.

You nodded your head and turned away from him.

“Thank you for doing the rounds on my patients before going, I’d still be here if it weren’t for that.” He chuckled a little.

“You were supposed to go home hours ago, I thought it would help speed up the process after your meeting.”

“Well, it’s much appreciated. Thank you.”

You smiled at him.

Generally doctors didn’t do much with nurses, or interact with them.

In a way Melendez was the same, but you were usually in all of his surgeries, and generally on the same shifts as him so he soon became a familiar face.

Though it wasn’t often that the pair of you talked, not unless it was about work.

Stepping outside, you looked at your phone before walking over stepping to the side of the door, trying to stay out of the rain.

“You aren’t heading home?” Melendez asked.

“Waiting for the bus.”

He looked around before looking at you.

“I can give you a lift if you want, it’s no trouble.”

“I’ll be alright, thanks though.”

He nodded his head and began to leave, offering you once again a lift which you declined.

You did notice a few over the following few weeks how he would talk to you more often, walk you out of the building and sometimes wait for your bus with you.

You didn’t think much about it, you put it down to him needed to get to know his surgical team more, or maybe he was trying to interact with people more.

You weren’t sure.

But you didn’t mind chatting with him, sometimes you would even see him at the bar after work, or the pair of you would walk there together.

So, when you were having lunch you didn’t think twice about him coming over to sit with you.

Smiling you moved your things aside so he could sit in front of you.

“Doctor Melendez.” You greeted.

“You can call me Neil, or just Melendez.” He laughed.

“I know.”

He smiled at you, taking a sip from his coffee.

You went back to eating, the pair of you holding a small conversation as you did.

“Can I ask you something?” He asked.

“You just did.”

You smiled at him as he chuckled.

“Of course you can. What’s up?”

“Would you be open to possibly going on a date with me?”

You nearly dropped your cup, and you quickly set it down as you stared at him in shock.

“I’m sorry?”

“Would you go on a date with me? Maybe dinner? It a few drinks? A movie?”

You took a small breath to compose yourself.

“I… you.. you’re asking me on a date..?”

Melendez smiled softly at you.

“I am.”

“Why?”

He laughed gently.

“Because I think you’re interesting, and beautiful, and smart, and I want to get to know you better.”

You slowly nodded your head, and you stood up from the table.

“I have to go..”

With that you rushed away.

You knew he wouldn’t bring it up while you were both on shift, but during any breaks or when you weren’t all that busy you did everything you could to avoid him.

So when it came for you last break of the day, you decided to head up to the roof to watch the nightlife of the city.

It was peaceful, and gave you time to think.

You heard steps coming closer and you turned around, sighing heavily as you watched the man walk over to you.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have sprung that on you. I shouldn’t have said anything at all, I understand.”

“No.. you don’t have to be sorry..”

You sighed, resting your arms on the rail.

“It’s not.. I mean I’m flattered you asked, I really am..”

“If you’re not interested that’s alright, you don’t have to explain yourself to me. I just hope we can stay friends.”

You looked at him.

“I.. I am interested, believe me I am.”

Melendez furrowed his brows a little bit, and he turned to fully face you.

“You are?”

“Yes. I just.. it’s.. I don’t think it’s a good idea…”

“Can I ask why?”

“You’re you.. and I.. I’m me..”

He rose a brow and you looked away from him, burying your nose into your jacket.

“You’re athletic, and incredibly good looking and successful. I’m me, anything but that, and I can’t even afford a car.”

“I don’t care you can’t afford a car, or that I’m a doctor and you’re a nurse. I think you’re beautiful the way you are, and I would love for the chance to show you that.”

You didn’t reply and he sighed a little, coming over he stood next to you, looking at you.

“You’re the most kind and understanding person k have ever met. I watched you listen to a patient just out of surgery explain to you hundreds of times how they broke their arm and you listened just as enthusiastically as the last time.”

You smiled at the memory.

“He was so high.” You laughed.

“He was.” Melendez chuckled.

You turned to look at him, and he smiled softly, placing his hand on the side of your face.

“I just want the chance to show you how incredible you are, and I’d you don’t want that, it’s alright.”

You sighed a little, and you looked at him.

You had always debated asking him out, but you were always so scared too.

But you looked as the city lights reflected in eyes, and how he smiled so softly at you, and it made your heart skip a beat, made you feel butterflies in your stomach.

“How about dinner?” You asked.

Melendez smiled even more.

“It’s a date, we’ll go after this shift.”

He leant down and kissed your head before he rushed away before anyone started to look for him.

Smiling to yourself, you turned back to watching the city

hello, can you write an imagine with Dr. Neil Melendez using prompts C & P from fluff? I love your writing, thank youu 🛐🛐🛐

Anaesthesia | Neil Melendez | The Good Doctor

Doctors, especially surgeons, know the side effects of surgeries like the back of their hands; they have too. The effects of anaesthesia are also commonly known, however they are not usually witnessed or enjoyed by the operating surgeon or anyone on their surgical staff. They tended to check in with the patient thoroughly after the majority of the medication had worn off and had been replaced with morphine.

It had been a while since Neil had experienced it first hand, it was something he swore to himself that he would change. In the beginning he had been worried when (y/n) had to go in for emergency surgery, their appendix had burst. Now, he couldn't help himself from giggling at them whilst encouraging their drug induced antics.

"You're really pretty, you know that right?" They slurred, trying to maintain eye contact with him.

Neil smiled. "Thank you, Dr. (l/n)."

"It is very, very, very, important to me that you know that." They watched as he just laughed alongside them as they continued their rambling. "I don't feel normal."

His smiled dropped.

"`What doesn't feel normal; what's wrong?"

(y/n) pondered his question for a moment, letting the silence thickly drag in the air. They didn't understand the gravity of their declaration and the million thoughts that were rushing through Neil's head. What if the surgery had gone wrong? What if they were experiencing complications and they had to go back under? What if they-?

"I know what it is."

Melendez looked up expectantly.

"I'm cold, I need cuddles."

"Cuddles?" he ask incredulously. (y/n) just nodded their head as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. At this, his worried seem to vanish in a flash and he moved so he could position himself at (y/n)'s side. "Well, who am I do deny a patient."

Hi! Hope your doing well, if not I hope you get better.

I was wondering if you could do a Neil Melendez x Male Reader who is famous but also autistic like Shawn and is dating Neil? The Reader surprises him one day and all the nurses including Clair and Shawn go over to talk to him, take pictures with him and stuff like that and Neil goes around looking for all the nurses because no one’s there for their job and he finds his boyfriend surrounded by everyone?

Hello my dear I don't write for Good Doctor. This account is only a library as said in my front page I didn't write anyone of those. Though I have an account in which I write my own stories ( and the one requested ) @moumouton4

Hope that answered you

Flirt With The Boss

Neil Melendez x Reader imagine.

Word count: 700

Imagine that Shaun asking you what it is to flirt while you are in the hospital cafeteria and from there the story gets more and more complicated until the romantic end.

To the Masterlist.

"What's it to flirt, (Y/N)?" Shaun asked while you were eating your lunch at the cafeteria and sat down next to you.

You didn't like most of the surgeons at the hospital, they were unbearably arrogant! But Shaun was different... Shaun was excellent at his job but not arrogant, he was honest (sometimes rude). And most of all SHAUN WAS A GOOD AND LOYAL FRIEND.

"What...? Why are you asking?" You answered confused and wiped your mouth.

"I heard Claire say that to Jared in the morning, and I didn't understand why." Shaun answered and waited for my answer.

"Flirting is a gentle courtship whose purpose is usually romantic or just to annoy." You answered briefly, You were very embarrassed to have this conversation in the cafeteria.

"How do you know when people are flirting, (Y/N)?" Shaun asked. You didn't want to answer, but you saw that Shaun was so curious to know that you couldn't say "no".

"If they maintain an intimate distance when they talk, touch each other unnecessarily, teasing and provoking each other." You stopped for a second and Shaun signaled you to continue, "Look for Three key things: The pretentious giggle, the squirm and hair sweep."

After a few quiet minutes, Shaun came to a surprising conclusion for you.

"Like you and Dr. Melendez." Shaun said decisively.

"WHAT?!" You screamed... shocked.

"You two are flirting all the time." Shaun answered, very confident in what he said.

"NO! WE NOT!" You said quietly, you were afraid that someone would hear the conversation more than ever.

"Yes you are," Shsun insisted, "You even flirted yesterday."

"Me and Melendez?" You asked, "I don't think so."

"Yes you do." Shsun said, "Yesterday, in Melendez's office He told you 'you did well today, Dr Andrews won't hear about the disaster that could have happened from me' and then you squirm and Dr. Melendes giggle."

Remembering the hard day you had yesterday... That was true and you didn't really notice you were flirting with the arrogant Dr. Melendez. But you know you have to deny.

Before you could respond, a voice behind you said, "I believe the talk can wait. Your break is over."

It was Dr. Melendez... SHIT! How much of it did he hear? You couldn't say because after Melendez said those words, he went and waited for us to follow him to his office.

...........................................................................

All the day you tried to avoid Dr. Melendez. And you've managed to avoid him so far...

Dr. Melendez summoned you to his office.

You take a deep breath and go into the Melendez office.

Dr. Melendez looked at you with a look you couldn't read.

"You summoned me?" you asked if you stood in the room and Melendez got up from his chair and headed towards you.

"Yes," Melendez said, "I heard Shsun say we were flirting yesterday."

You didn't know what to say, in the end, you gained strength and you said: "Yes, but..."

"(Y/N), that's true, and it happens quite a few times... I hadn't noticed that we were until now."

You've got a red light on, Melendez always calls you by the last name, never by first name.

"yes... I didn't notice that we were flirting before Shsun told me that" you said and looked at the floor.

"Look at me, (Y/N)" Melendez asked, he was very close to you now.

You looked up, and a second later you felt the lips of Melendez kissing you a gentle and long kiss.

"It's madness..." You whispered. You smiled like a girl in love, when you looked at him, you noticed the broad smile that smiled.

"Yes it is," he agreed, "And very surprising, but it feels so right..."

"Yes it is." You agreed and smiled to the ground, you didn't know what to think.

"We can try and see what happens between us... If you want." Melendez said.

"I think it's an interesting idea..." you smiled.

"So it's okay with you that I ask you out?" Melendez asked.

"Here we are flirting again." you thought to yourself, you couldn't stop smiling happy. You didn't believe you'd feel anything for your arrogant boss.

"Not at all." you sweeped your hair, flirting again.

Reminder : this imagine is SFW however my blog is not and if I find anyone under 18 interacting with this or any other work or my blog they will be blocked.

Neil Melendez x reader

it starts so cliche.

Your rushing and your not looking and of course you've got four coffees in your hand for your team and your rushing until something stops you.

Or more like someone.

"Oh shit I'm so -

The person clears his throat before chuckling

"It's okay" he smiles genuinely

You look up from the floor to see his white coat stained brown and you look back down cringing because could this day get any worse?

"Hey" he causes you to look up

"I'm having such a bad day and this is so embarrassing and it's not even 8.30 and my boss is gonna kill me and oh my god I'm late" you tumbled out before abruptly getting to your feet and sprinting down the hallway.

"sorry!" you yelled down the corridor

Leaving the Dr chuckling to himself, forgetting he was drenched in coffee.

You make it only slightly late and your boss is only slightly pissed off thankfully. Working in the legal department, you had to run up 5 flights of stairs because of course the lift was out of order.

After dealing with the fallout of a doctor telling a rude patient to essentially fuck off you shut your computer down and rubbed your temples.

Coffee you thought

You opened your door to almost knock out the person about to walk in

For the second time today

"what do you want" you said huffing

"well I was-

"what did you do? Because I swear if I have to turn back that computer on then your not going to want to stick around because I have not had my coffee yet and it's 3pm and I'm not getting out of here for at least 4 more hours so I swear doctor if you have done anything to cause me a headache then ill show you what a bloody headache is! "

He stood there with a smirk on his face

"what?" you whined, folding your arms

"I brought you coffee, you know, for earlier" he hands you the cup you'd failed to notice.

"Oh" you whisper

"You wanna take a walk"? He questioned, holding out his arm for you

"I really should be getting back and -

"You need to get out of this office, this stress is not good for your heart and trust me, I know, I'm the heart guy" he winked before leaning into you and your head spun because what was he doing for him to reach the door handle and pull it shut, whilst smirking obviously.

"Come on darling, let's get some air" he whispered and your heart sped up and shit because he's the heart guy what if he could hear it? No of course not.

You wandered round the hospital gardens for a while, you could feel the tension leaving your body and you geniunley enjoyed his company.

"So, heart guy, you gotta heart girl?" you questioned

"Nope, not yet" he said

You smiled inside at his answer

"I don't have anyone either, I did, but they broke my heart and I don't think I'll ever get some of the pieces back" you said, a bit sad

"well, y/n" he stopped and twirled you around holding your waist

"Dr melendez what are you doing" you laughed

"I'm the heart guy, remember? so, how bout I mend that heart of yours hey?"

Your eyes went wide before he leaned in for a kiss and you gladly kissed him back. One arm around your waist while the other held the back of your head.

Eventually, he broke the kiss.

"is that a yes?" he whispered, leaning his forehead on yours.

"mhmm, yes" you smiled.

Hi, again. So I checked and my idea should be fine. But if you feel uncomfortable or anything else with it, you can just not write it. That will be fine with me. And you're welcome for the reblogs, I really like your works

Anyway, I was thinking about Neil Melendez and maybe even Audrey Lim reacting on reader getting period during shift in the hospital. Like, I'm on my period and I would love to see some period comfort for either one of them (but there's none, I think).

So, basically anything about reader on period (like period cramps, moods, cravings and stuff) and how Neil and/or Audrey would act around the reader

Take your time and have a good day/night <3

Hi! I just posted it! I really hope you like it and that it turned out the way you imagined it. I made both Audrey and Neil react :)

Sending you lots of comfort and I hope it will get better soon <3 Here is a cute Melendez gif to cheer you up :)

[specialagentlokitty]

Melendez x reader - need you

Dating people you worked with was never a good idea, and now you understood why.

Because you had decided to go to the ER to get away from Melendez after an explosive argument the night before, and now you were stuck in quarantine.

“If we take this whole ER in half, we can tackle this easier.”

Lim nodded her head.

“Right, we’ll swap between patient care and tending to the rest.”

“I’ll take first patient care.”

You headed over to where the main quarantine was and suited up to head inside.

You couldn’t think of anything else, you had a job to do and you needed to be in top mind in order to do it.

You couldn’t be distracted right now, so you pushed everything else to the back of your mind, throwing your all into your work.

What you weren’t expecting was for you to be the next person to get infected, and you backed yourself into the room.

“Listen Morgan, I can keep an eye on Lim while I’m in here, just focus on everyone else.”

“I need to keep an eye on you both.”

“It’ll do no good, just focus on them, I have this, okay? Shaun needs support.”

She reluctantly nodded, and you walked over to your friend, placing a hand on her arm.

“You’ll get through this.”

You paced back and forth, checked on Lim, gave help to Shaun and Morgan when you could, but there wasn’t much you can do.

You could feel yourself getting weak and you knew it was getting worse, you tried heard your phone ringing somewhere but didn’t bother to find it.

Sitting on the chair, you lowered your head, taking deep and shallow breaths.

“It’s Andrews, he’s looking for you.”

You looked up at Alex and laughed weakly.

“You.. you shouldn’t be here…”

“Neither should you. I’m coming in.”

You coughed, shaking your head as you held up your hand.

“No…”

“You need the help.”

“I.. I’m fine��”

Andrews looked at the screen to see you sitting in the chair talking to Alex, and Melendez burst into the room once more.

He looked at the screens briefly, but didn’t seem to notice you as he began to talk.

Nobody had told him where you were.

Nobody had told your boyfriend you were in that room on the verge of death.

He was worried enough for Lim, and was stressed as it was, they couldn’t bring themselves to tell him that you were in there.

And Andrews had to decide on what to do.

Did he tell Melendez and stress him even more?

Or did he keep it to himself and you possibly die in there without your own boyfriend knowing?

If this were a normal patient their family would’ve been notified by now.

“Andrews I need a decision now.”

Andrews snapped out of his head.

“Right.”

Melendez looked up, and he furrowed his brows a little bit.

Andrews quickly began to help him come up with a game plan for his patient.

You on the other hand we’re getting worse, your temperature had gone up, and you were getting worse and worse.

“You’ll be okay.”

You smiled weakly.

“I.. tell.. tell him I didn’t mean it…”

“Who? Doctor Melendez?”

You weakly nodded.

Morgan smiled at you, taking your hand with her gloved one.

“You’ll be able to tell him yourself…”

Even she wasn’t convinced by her own words, but she had to flick between caring for you and Lim who you were now in the same state as.

And even when Morgan’s treatment plan seemed to work for Lim, and she was awake and talking, you still had made no improvement.

“You need to tell him…” Lim whispered.

“Andrews already has.” Morgan replied.

You were rushed away from them the moment it was safe.

Melendez was stood frozen in his office as he stared at his boss.

“You.. you knew?!” He hissed.

“I decided it was best not to tell you, you already had enough going on.”

“You knew that (Y/N) was in there and didn’t think to tell me?!”

“I made a choice and I stand by that choice, but as of now (Y/N) is being rushed to intensive care.”

So that’s where he ran off to, grabbing the nearest to help him find your room and he walked in.

You were pale, and the machines were beeping, and he slowly walked over, sitting on the edge of your bed.

Melendez reached out, gently touching your face.

“You need to wake up..” he whispered.

He moved to a chair, leaning over the bed, resting his head on your stomach as he looked up at you.

He was mindful not to lay on your chest, or any wires, but he laid there just staring at you. Waiting.

He fell asleep like that, and he woke up like that.

Except you still weren’t awake, and you made no progress or decline.

You just stayed steady.

It was like you were awake but you weren’t.

And for the next few hours he just laid there watching you.

“Please wake up…”

He sat up, resting his forehead on your hand as he clutched it in his.

And he felt it.

The small twitch, and heard the small grumble you made as you moved.

Snapping his head up he looked at you as you opened your eyes.

“Hey…”

You moved your eyes towards him and smiled tiredly.

“You look like crap…”

He laughed, pressing a kiss to your knuckles as he looked at you.

“So do you.”

You smiled a bit, resting your head back as you took a deep breath.

“I love you.” he said.

You smiled at him, squeezing his hand.

“I’m so sorry…”

He shook his head, standing up so he could lay on the bed next to you, letting you rest your head on his shoulder.

“Don’t be, I started that argument. It’s my fault.”

He sighed.

“I don’t know what I’d do without you…”

You closed your eyes, holding his hand tightly.

“I love you too Neil…”

Even though he could’ve been anywhere, done anything else, he stayed there with you, holding you and reassuring you he loved you

EpiPen and Girlfriends

When you show up to the ER after an allergic reaction, Claire and Neil finally learn something interesting about Shaun.

Words Count: 1,016

Pairing: Shaun Murphy x F!Reader

Warning: None

Author's Note: This was requested by a very kind anon! It's my very first fic for this fandom so I hope it's not too bad. Also I used my own allergy for this fic just because—

Holding a small tablet in his hand, followed closely by two of his three residents, Dr. Neil Melendez walked up to the bed you were quietly sitting on. From your cheeks to your hands, itchy red marks covered your skin, and you had to grip the bedsheets to keep yourself from scratching them manically. 

“Good evening,” the oldest surgeon greeted you, briefly looking up from the tablet. “How are you feeling?” 

You shrugged and smiled. “Not too bad, actually,” you replied honestly. “I just feel like ripping my skin off.” 

Melendez nodded before handing your record over to the young lady – Dr. Browne, her blouse read. “Can you tell me what we have there, Dr. Browne?” he questioned. But she barely had time to look at the record when the last person spoke up. 

“It is a case of anaphylactic shock caused by the ingestion of allergens,” Shaun declared, his hands locked tightly against his chest as always. You nodded even if the question hadn’t been from you and looked down at your hands in shame. 

You had been eating dinner with a friend of yours. The both of you had picked a nice restaurant, not too expensive or fancy. Something just nice. And in your arrogant stupidity, you had ordered the one dish you shouldn’t have. You really thought that it wouldn’t be that bad. But here you were, sitting in the ER. And you were the only person to blame. 

“Thank you very much, Dr. Browne, for your diagnosis,” Melendez said again, staring right at Shaun. 

“My name is Shaun. Shaun Murphy.” Shaun corrected, nodding as if to prove his point. “Claire is standing on the other side of you,” he said, pointing at Claire to indicate her position.

Dr. Melendez shook his head and rolled his eyes, and you had to bite your bottom lip to swallow back a laugh. Looking up at Shaun, you noticed his eyes were fixated elsewhere, and you wondered if he had looked at you at all since their arrival. 

“Can you tell us what happened and when?” Claire asked you in a kind tone, pulling you out of your thoughts. 

“Of course,” you said, shifting on the bed to get seated in a better position. “I am allergic to seafood, but usually it isn’t so bad. So tonight, when I went to the restaurant, I ordered a dish that contained seafood. There was barely any of it! So I thought nothing would happen. And after a good fifteen minutes, my skin turned red, and I had trouble breathing.” 

“I see. Do you still have trouble breathing?” 

You shook your head. “Not anymore. I used–”

“The patient used an epinephrine auto-injector!” Shaun exclaimed, cutting you off. You smiled at him and nodded. “EpiPens help treat severe allergic reactions. Although it is still recommended to go to the hospital since another reaction can happen later on.”

Dr. Browne sighed quietly and hugged the tablet against her chest in frustration. You felt sympathetic for her. It seemed like the poor woman never had any occasion to talk. 

“Well, Murphy, since you are so interested in the topic, me and Dr. Browne are going to let you do the patient check-ups before we can send her home,” Melendez told him. He patted Shaun on the shoulder but quickly retrieved his hand. 

“No,” Shaun simply replied with a small smile, his eyes fixated in the distance. “I can’t do that.” 

Claire’s eyebrows shot up at Shaun’s refusal, and the older doctor crossed his arms and leaned towards him a little like he hadn’t heard correctly. 

“You can’t?” Melendez asked.

“No,” Shaun repeated. “A physician shouldn’t treat a family member, a friend, or their significant other.” 

At that, Shaun finally looked at you and smiled proudly. You felt your heart swelling inside your chest and heat rising in your cheeks. The butterflies in your stomach were so strong that you almost missed Claire’s question. 

“Are you a member of Dr. Murphy’s family?” she asked politely.

You shook your head and bit your lip. “Actually, Shaun and I are–”

“In a romantic relationship,” he interrupted you again. He had done it a lot tonight, and you would definitely tease him about it later. 

Next to you, you heard Melendez almost choke, and you shot him a dark look, making him regain his composure immediately. Claire, on the other hand, was much quieter about the discovery, her mouth hanging slightly open. 

The longer they remained quiet, the more you wanted to laugh. You had no idea why exactly, but it seemed to be the year’s biggest event to them. Eventually, you giggled, bringing their focus back on you. 

Dr. Melendez cleared his throat before speaking again. “Claire, you’ll do the check-up. Murphy, you can follow me.” 

Shaun shook his head and sat down on the chair next to the bed. “I have to stay there. To make sure everything is alright.” 

“Shaun, I am alright,” you assured. “I’m certain Dr. Browne is very capable of doing a check-up.” 

Claire smiled and nodded gratefully. But it wasn’t enough for Shaun. Of course, it was never enough unless he was the one doing the work.

“Claire is capable of doing a basic check-up, yes,” he agreed. “And you are alright for now. Something could happen. You could have another anaphylactic reaction. I need to be there if it happens.” 

After a lot of arguing between you, Shaun, and Dr. Melendez, it was decided that Shaun would be allowed fifteen minutes to stay with you and would then be called back to work. You tried not to show it too much, but it reassured you to have him by your side. 

After a few minutes, you felt his hand slowly sliding into yours, and you looked at him questioningly. 

“I heard it is nice to hold the hand of someone scared,” he explained, looking again at something that wasn’t you while he talked.

You frowned and tilted your head. “I’m not scared?” 

“I know,” Shaun replied, wiping the palm of his hand onto his pants. “I am.”
