The fluorescent hum of the ER faded into the background as Dr. Jack Abbot leaned against the corridor wall, his prosthetic leg steady beneath him. He watched you with a knowing, playful glint in his eyes, the exhaustion on their face only fueling his mischievous grin. With a theatrical sigh, he stepped forward, pressing a soft stuffed rabbit into you's tired hands. "For those cuddles I can't give you myself," he murmured, his voice warm against the sterile chill of the hospital, watching with amusement as you clutched the toy, the tension in their shoulders finally beginning to melt away under his steady, caring gaze.
