because alex @theimpalpable​ just popped up on my dash:

Calum: *plucks cigarette out of Sigye’s fingers* “dOn’t yOu knOw sMoKinG iS bAd for YoU?!” 😤😤😤

@theimpalpable​ sent in: ❛ you’re not getting rid of me that easily. ❜ (from the nuisance named Sigye...I'm sorry Calum IUWEHDIUWDEH aLSO pls feel free to skip if you feel it doesn't fit or something along those lines! HAVE A NICE DAY FERRE !!) || it’s all in the friendship ( ft. platonic sentence starters )

“I wasn’t- you’re not even supposed to be here!” He’s incredulous and not to mention his voice has gone slightly shrill, which is probably not a very professional sign for a nurse in the ICU unit. But in Calum’s defense, it’s a very natural reaction to chaos- bewilderment. Panic. Even if he puts on a mellow demeanor for his patients, he experiences both of those daily.

He experiences both of those around Sigye daily as well.

Grumbling, he rubs a temple as he turns back to his laptop. Right, the patient’s chart- one thing he learned early on about nursing. Filling out charts, paperwork takes a significant amount of the job. So much so that he has to use his lunch break to keep up with the workload. “What are you even doing here? Don’t tell me you dropped by to steal more food from me.”

And yet here he is, sliding his container of leftover VEGGIE QUICHE towards Sigye- leftovers from yesterday; he reshaped them into tiny muffins for Erza. Hopefully, Erza won’t feel too homesick with that for today’s lunch. He peers over his laptop screen, unwillingly curious. Perhaps there’s a patient that Sigye wants to...visit? He can’t say for sure, but what he does know is that despite Sigye’s claim that ‘he can’t get rid of them’ ( whatever that’s supposed to mean ), Calum doesn’t actually know much about them...aside from a few tidbits. Like how they’ll try everything and anything at least once, even if someone else is currently eating it ( which in Calum’s opinion is gross. And unsanitary for that matter ). Or how they seem to have a soft spot for baby animals in comparison to other people. Or how they like to wear rings...and suspenders too.

It’s ATTRACTIVE. 

Not that it matters to Calum.

Hurriedly, he turns back to his laptop again. Oh god, he really hopes they didn’t catch him staring again. First line- what was the name of that patient again? He closes his laptop. “Y-You can have the rest of it, I, uh, gotta finish this up before my break is over.” And then a pause. “Were you, uh. here to visit someone, by the way? I can...find out their room number for you so you don’t have to waste time here-”

@theimpalpable​ mentioned: Sigye, being a pain in the arse, with a smirk on their face: Pfft, do you also tell that to people who are about to kiss you? 'That's unsanitary, wash your mouth first'? (sTEALS FOOD ANYWAY) 

“That’s your go-to- ‘people who are about to kiss you’?! Does it look like I go around kissing people wherever I go?!” He huffs, knocking their chopsticks away only after they’ve gotten some of his japchae secure between the sticks.  “And for your information, it’s called MOUTHWASH.”

@theimpalpable sent in: Also sending SMASH OR PASS to Calum and any of my muses, he's more than free to choose IWHEIDUHWD (hope it's okay to send this, you can ignore this if you wish, too! All good :D, hope you're doing well!) || answer the question calum ( ft. smash or pass meme )

"...Smash?" When the word comes tumbling out, he can't help but look away, ashamed. He doesn't even know them, SIGYE! How he got the time is a very good question ( okay so maybe he was in line behind them one day and happened to overhear the barista shout their name ). All he knows is that they're sometimes in the café he gets coffee from during his lunch break. That they're rather stony-faced. That they know a lot about...well humans in general? And that when they speak, it's always clear and firm. No reading between the lines needed. In a way, they're...BREATHTAKING to watch.

Not that Calum has ever actually spoken to them or that they would want to speak to someone like him though! He doesn't even know if Sigye even notices him anyways. He rubs the back of his neck. There are probably more interesting people out there for Sigye to pass time with...lots of people find them attractive, right?

( Some of his co-workers are included. )

He rubs the back of his neck. "Please don't tell them I said that." Otherwise, he's not going to be able to look Sigye in the eye. Ever.
