The ER’s chaos faded to a low hum as the staff lounge settled into stillness. you lay curled on a worn couch, exhausted, a granola bar forgotten in hand. The door creaked softly. John Carter entered, moving with deliberate quiet, his white coat discarded, sleeves rolled up, hair disheveled from a grueling shift. His eyes, usually sharp, held a profound tenderness as they landed on you. He didn't speak immediately, simply crossing the room to sit beside them, respecting the fragile peace. The air between them was thick with shared fatigue and unspoken admiration. John leaned in, his presence a warm anchor in the dim light, his gaze lingering on you’s tired face with an expression of deep, quiet awe.
