i think that dwayne and star take laddie to the library regularly but they don’t actually check out the books they just straight up steal them and never bring them back

Don't mind me popping in here to pay my rent ✨️

David gives me vibes that'd he'd be the most interested in Bree's fascination for monsters/creatures of the night- specifically her novels. I can just imagine he even knew a few older ones himself- of course he only ever skimmed through them and never sat down to read them thoroughly...👀

Paul and Marko sometimes fight like little cartoon characters over who gets her attention. You can't tell me otherwise. While she's 'checking them for injuries' these two are squabbling and hitting each other while her back is turned. It's even worse if she decides to hang out with them in her free time- they're fighting over who's bike she's riding, who she's going with on the rides, who's buying her the pretty thing she pointed out or the treat she thought looked good, it never ends. 💀

Dwayne is most likely the only one who wouldn't... Exactly 'lie' about his injuries, given sometimes accidents happen when he's working with mechanics and his bike, but they're nothing fatal or... You know... Something you need to see the doctor for. He'll use ANY excuse to go get checked up by the pretty nurse at the hospital, no matter how many times she tells him how it's nothing but a scratch, or a little bruise. He always just flashes a charming grin and says: "You can never be too safe, right? 'Gotta come to the expert herself just to be sure."

Michael giving her rides home 🥺 wether in a car or on his old bike doesn't matter, he just wants her to be safe going home at night- given his... Past experience. Sometimes he just asks if he can tail behind her if she brings her own ride, I feel he's just very protective over her- but tries his best to keep space and not seem too clingy. OMG but could you imagine if they carpool or something to work? I can see early mornings spent with Bree coming to the Emerson house waiting for Michael to get ready and having some small talk with Lucy, who takes the time to make her some breakfast. [Also totally not dropping hints about getting her son married and grand-babies wink wink]

CHERRY! YOU! YOU GET ME, QUEEN!!!

Bree most definitely keeps a beat-up paperback book on her desk for the quiet moments of her shift. She loves monsters and romance, and has been very lucky to find a combination of both. She does her best to hide them away, but when she's turned around to find a clipboard or a specific document, David peaks over and catches the title on the spine. Something like "Bride of the Werewolf". It amuses him to no end. On her evenings off, he offers to take her out to the library or bookstore. Somewhere he can sneakily ask about her preferences and watch her blush as they walk past the romance section. If all goes well, he even may try to sneak a kiss when nobody is watching them~

Oh Paul and Marko definitely go full Yakko and Wakko mode around her. I don't care that Animaniacs didn't come out until the 90s. Those boys were going "Hellooooooo, Nurse!" long before that happened. But yeah, they are practically pawing at her for attention. Paulie acts like a golden retriever with a hurt paw, pouting as he shows her where it hurts and asking her to kiss it better. Marko uses his gorgeous eyes and bats his lashes, saying he'd do anything to thank her after getting bandaged up. Whenever Bree kisses them better, they're practically swooning. She doesn't mind playing along, so long as they're not dealing with SERIOUS injuries.

She has a particularly strong crush on Dwayne. Something about the warmth and intensity in his eyes makes her heart flutter. But Dwayne doesn't just go to her for his own needs. He brings Laddie along if he scraped his knee while skateboarding with Dwayne or hurt his finger trying to carry Paul's boom box. Laddie is a brave boy, and Bree is happy to help him out. She always gives Laddie a sticker and a cartoon bandaid. For Dwayne, he's happy just giving her a kiss on the cheek and whispering in her ear about how she'll make a wonderful mother someday. Her face went tomato red since she imagined Dwayne being the father in that scenario~

Michael used to work mornings and afternoons mostly because he didn't want to be reminded of his time with vampires in the night. But when he learned Bree had exclusively night shifts, he got his schedule changed to help her out and keep her safe. She's alone whenever she's at the front desk, and he worries about her a lot. Not just from creatures of the night, but also patients that try to give her hell. He's like her own guard dog. During down time, Michael likes to have coffee or a snack with her. He even knows how she likes her drink, which she thinks is so sweet. And yes, he's happy to makes sure she gets home safe. Sometimes if she pops by to check in on Sam after a visit to the doctor or help out Grandpa for a house call, Lucy will sweetly offer her a spot at the table for dinner. She also sends home leftovers so the poor girl doesn't have to cook after a long day. Bree adores the Emersons and Michael can't help but picture her being a member of their family.

Also! Bree has a chocolate lab named Pepper. She and Nanook are best buddies, so on shared days off, Bree and Michael take the pups for a walk on the beach together. She thinks the two of them might be trying to set up her and Michael together. She's seen 101 Dalmatians after all. It can happen.

No matter what they do together, Michael always makes sure she gets home safe and sound. Little does he know that after he drops her off and says goodnight, that's when the creatures of the night slip into her dreams to keep her company~
