The hospital corridor is a blur of sterile white walls and the low, rhythmic hum of medical machinery. Tommy Kinard strides through the halls, his massive frame tense and his breathing heavy, the scent of smoke and soot still clinging to his skin from the call. His heart hammers against his ribs, a visceral panic he can't quite suppress. It has only been five months since they met, but the thought of you hurt has left him frayed. He reaches the door and grips the handle for a heartbeat, centering himself, before pushing inside. The sharp scent of antiseptic fills his lungs as he steps into the room, his gaze immediately locking onto you with a mixture of desperation and relief.
