As You Were - McCoy

You yawn as you file away the last of the medical documents that the good doctor seemed to let pile up. You blink a couple of times and straighten his desk before exiting his office in hopes of getting a few hours of shut eye before your shift tomorrow. A sudden shout from the hallway and the rush of bodies through the Med-Bay doors dashed your hopes of getting any rest. You quickly turn around and throw on your gloves and medical apron. You turn to the closest red shirt helping another red shirt limp in, leading in a group of other injured crewmen.

"Place him there. What happened?" You assessed the situation, signaling for others to be placed on bio-beds.

"There was an explosion while we were fixing a big system of wiring."

"How many injured?" You asked as you saw to one of the crewmen.

"Seventeen, I think. I know Crewman Jay got electrocuted badly."

"Alright, thank you." You turned to one of the late night nurses, Nurse Mae. "Call in Nurse Peters and Nurse Land, we are going to need all the help we can get."

Nurse Mae nodded and you rushed around to make sure everyone was at least alive before you opened up your communicator. You waited as it beeped for the doctor to pick it up. "Come on, Leonard. The one time I need you..." You whisper under your breath.

Suddenly the communicator beeped and the sound of a gravely southern drawl dripped from the other end. "Jim, I am not in the mood."

"Sorry cowboy, you are just gonna to have to be. We have and emergency in sickbay. You think you can wipe the slobber off your face and help us out?" You halfheartedly joked as you worriedly watched out of his office windows as Nurse Land and Peters entered with Mae, rushing to help the more critically injured.

"(Y/n)." He suddenly sounded a bit more awake.

"Yup, that's me, your head nurse who is currently swimming in stress. Take your time tho, no worries." You rolled your eyes as you stepped out of the office to help Nurse Land get a patient to calm down after a particularly painful burn treatment.

"It's too early for this." McCoy grumbled on the other end as you hear him get out of bed.

"Coffee on me if that helps. See you soon." You grimly smiled to yourself as you put away the communicator.

Bones rubbed his face as slipped on his clothes in the dark, not particularly liking the idea of turning up in just his boxers. He hurried to rush out of his room and to sickbay. He ran his hands through his hair in a vain attempt to make it seem like he didn't just get out of bed.

Bones didn't know that his actions were futile until it was a bit too late.

The doors of the Med-Bay slid open and he sought you out first, ignoring the sudden pause in activity as well as the gawking from all his female nurses. He found your back facing him as you wrapped a female officer's arm, oblivious to the arrival of the groggy doctor.

He cleared his throat, causing you to jump slightly and turn. Your eyes widen and your breathing hitched, but for just a moment.

Before you stood the doctor in the most attractive condition yet. His dark hair looked like he had run his hands through it a million times, it sticking up every which way but still looking as soft as ever. His eyes were a bit droopy due to just being woken up but they still held his evident frustration in being disturbed, yet they turned kind when they met with your (e/c) ones. His clothes were what made him almost drool worthy; his shirt was blue but it was baggy like he had slept in it a few times but took it off then threw it back on because it was inside out. His checkered shorts hugged areas you know you'll never forget and showed off his toned legs you had no idea he had.
