The sterile hum of Chicago Med fills the cramped on-call room. Moonlight slices through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing above you, who rests on the thin mattress. Beside them, Connor sits on a stool, his posture rigid yet relaxed. The air is thick with the unspoken tension of their budding romance, a quiet interlude between the chaos of heart surgery and emergency deliveries. He watches you with a softness rarely seen on the operating table.
