Did Blake just boldly use the word girlfriend? Yes was he insane for using the word after just a day of meeting Melanie. Of hearing her laugh; getting the opportunity to know her. Yes, and Blake was a known risk taker; perhaps a part of him feared when he did get discharged; that he wouldn’t see Melanie, wouldn’t express how important her support, her care had been. He liked her; our harmless flirting; a breath of fresh air now. As he leaned into the liking another girl. Plus let’s be honest Blake had no game whatsoever. 

It was a miracle that she ended up liking him all the same. He was nearly beaming at her phasing she agreed to call herself his girlfriend. Oh his heart was swelling up now. It was a miracle the beeping didn’t intercept the room with his racing heart. But he slowly recomposed himself now; as he heard Dr. Halstead come to enter the room. Dragging his eyes from the beauty that was Melanie and to the doctor, he wore that contained lopsided grin of his now. And he nodded; he was being discharged. He still ached, with bruised rips was obvious. But Blake felt giddy for his escape; his purpose on the job. His family, and besides Melanie and himself had already made plans to see the other again. A blessing, a sliver lining in his visit at med. “ Thank you Dr. Halstead, and keep up the great bedside manner you and your lovely nurses have here.” I added. I know corny, Blake was attempting a big impression on how appreciative he was when it came to his nurse, her abilities to show concern, to hold a hand in this process. Once the pair were along he wasted no time in adverting his hues back to the blonde. A soft gracious smile laced along his lips. 

She was worried about him, While also dishing out huge compliments to his character. It was sweet, he swore he hid the way his face reacted. Glancing around the area to ensure no one was glancing through the clear windows. He reached for her hand; tracing his pinky finger along the outline of her thumb, as a softest trailed over his features. “ Thank you, and deep down I know I did it all, I survived because of my bravery back then, I just wished kid me was faster..” Its what motivated all the stops the high risks, the climbing up ladders and fire escapes, it was pumped through my blood. But I had meaning; a person to side outside of the job. “ I’m excited to leave, I have a few days before I can go back to the house. But I hope that means you won’t forget about your favorite patient..” A hidden meaning; a visit as promised, that coy expression now, after all we had to keep it innocent and airy between us..

It was my nature to get tangled up. It was beyond the risks Blake tended to take. He was the man that climbed up a 12 story building, he was the guy that swung through ropes in order to reach a person in need. You could say he was a daredevil. He had gotten scolded at the start at 51 because of his risk tenacity. Borden was only trying to protect his men; and Casey he was why I was still at 51. He fought for me, and given my story it made sense why I’d go to bat for innocent people. I was only a child when I lost my parents, my sister to a fire. I was on my own. I was the one that had to be strong; I was the one who had to get their life together because I had a life to live. 

I knew the dangers of walking into fires; I knew how to handle the job; and honestly today was a pure accident; but in my eyes a nice one. Because due to my injuries I was now in the same room as this beautiful girl; Melanie, and i felt it that spark i haven’t felt in a long time. I felt that spark you never want to let dim. I knew I was only teasing; the gentle tone in my voice said it all. “ Jello was the game changer, you see I’m a sucker for jello, it’s how I healed myself each time I got sick.” Not that was true; along with a bunch of cold medicine, but he wanted to show the connection why she had him at the mention of jello. Not to mention his attempt to save her from an idiot doctor who simply never got the hint. So now that we made it known we had a jello date; we had to follow through with it right? 

It was easy; to pretend outside these hospital walls the reality didn’t exsit. Gallo wasn’t the guy to flirt easier; and let’s be honest he was probably coming up short with her. But he also felt the blonde was flirting back with him; it wasn’t an idea he convinced himself of in his head. Melanie liked him; it was clear with her next comment; that she’d want to see him again. Now Gallo glanced to the white sheets on the bed as he attempted to conceal the smile that dared to tug along his lips. He was the mess up; he was the guy who fumbled with words, who never said what he felt; but with her; he wanted to test the boundaries. It was wrong; he was a patient in her care nor would he ever want to risk her career; but he also had to tease her on her own remark. 

“ So what I’m hearing is you want to see me again even if I get injured or not, normally we end the first date before admitting you want to see the guy again.” A joke based on the lame movies he’s seen with Violet and Ritter; there was a whole list of films this situation would fit for. Regardless; he’d even tag along with Brett and Violet to deliver paperwork, or do a health check up if it meant he’d see her again. Point was he did want to see her again; where he wasn’t glued to a hospital bed. Once the pillows were done being fluffed; the male had inched himself to lay down, head hitting the fluffed pillows, a lazy smile came to his lips. 

Head tilted to the side; as his gaze was drawn right back to her; her eyes, her smile it came the knots form in the pit of his stomach. He was flattered she wanted to share a piece of her. Why she was a nurse; it made sense. Experiences in life is what dictate our careers; I could say the same for myself. “ I’m happy to hear you haven’t had any more almost injuries; maybe you can sparkle those good sprits on me.” Another joke; as he fought the urge to extend his arm out to her; but that would definitely be seen as crossing a long. 

“ My family died in a fire when I was a kid, my parents my sister, and I was hopeless. I survived, and sometimes it doesn’t feel like I deserve it. It’s why I became a firefighter. Why I will always go the extra mile to save people because a firefighter did that for me. They didn’t give up when my sister my parents were too burnt up to tell a face. They saved me.” It’s who I was; the savior; the guy that will go above and beyond. Lips pushed together to hold any tear that dared to fall at the memory; it was hard to talk about but Melanie she shared a piece of herself; so I felt I could with her. I trusted her. 

Brushing the vulnerable state off; I had echoed out my reply to the jello. “ Do i have anymore test to do or can we jump right to the jello?”

[itanglethingsup]

Was Blake being bold and assumption the flirtation would extend to being able to label our thing? Yes, and if Blake hadn’t felt so comfortable with Melanie and how he felt about her; he probably would’ve claimed up and made a fool of himself. And even as he patiently ticked off the seconds from her looking at the message and to her saying the phase, I felt nervous. Because I didn’t know how Melanie would take my answer. A relief of a grin spread instantly across my lips at the mention that it did sound good; It was cute the blush that formed on her cheeks, and I felt pride in knowing I got that reaction from her. “ it does.” I added with a hum from my lips. 

The flirting was easy; I felt nervous as if I was hiding a true crush and I suppose the blonde and I were hidden, with the small touches, with the brush of our palms now. And I couldn’t contain myself. Even as we ventured into a more touchy vulnerable side of us, Our past; and I felt for Melanie to hear about her aunt I know it couldn’t be easy to witness a loved one hurting; their illness take control of their bodies, And I made my hand squeeze her palm again. “ I’m sorry, I know sometimes it’s hard to just be there, but she knows she has someone in her corner.” Like her; and I knew my parents; until they were taken from me. Blake remembered being a terrified boy; hidden in a closet; I wasn’t brave enough back then to save my sister; my parents and for years it’s what motivated me. To be brave, to take risks in fires; so no family has to feel that weight of a lost like I did as a boy. A grin turned into a slight frown as I nodded before it formed an understanding expression. “ I know, thank you, It’s why I take risks, if only I had been brave enough back then.” I was a kid; I didn’t know any better. 

A stare of care between us; like a spell until Blake was forced to release her hand when he heard movement; Halstead his favorite surgeon. “ What do you have for me?” I asked as Halstead glanced over the stats on his chart. “ You’re in good hands Gallo, your test came back normal, you will have bruising but if you keep up with the meds we’ll be giving you, you’ll be okay for duty in a week.” he added and I nodded eagerly as if my mood had flipped. “ I’ll be the best patient your best nurse made sure of it.” I added cheekily as I aimed a wink to the blonde; carefree; because this soon wouldn’t feel forbidden.

[itanglethingsup]

If all the plans fell into place; it would be perfect. Blake had never felt these tingles of sensation before. When our hands touched; when I felt her gorgeous smile aimed at me. I felt happy giggy even just when Melanie walked into the room. And I had high hopes for our first real date; taking her bringing me food at my apartment out of an equation. I had only allowed my hand to slip from Melanie’s in order to allow her to put her number in my phone, a hush hush secret, I glanced purposely out the sliding doors to ensure no one was being a tad nosey when it came to us. Once in the all clear; I had taken my phone with that annoyingly cute grin on my lips as I typed out a message. 

[Text} Blake. “ It’s that devilishly handsome patient you want to fall madly in love with.” And I added my address and I was smug; I was confident now my text was going to make her blush I was counting on it. As I pressed send and heard almost instantly the bing from her phone in her coat pocket I lifted a hand and jokingly added.. “ You might want to read that, it’s from your new boyfriend. I hear he’s kinda adorable..” I said with a shrug of my shoulders. I was playing with the boyfriend comment; I didn’t want to assume we barely had one date. But I was a dork and thought I was cute. And when Melanie told me her story, I nodded wanting to hang onto each word. I knew I asked how long but I felt comforting in knowing she felt comfortable enough to be honest with me. Reaching for her hand on her lap, I had let my fingers lace through her own to give her hand a gentle squeeze. “ I’m sorry if the circumstances of you coming here weren’t great, How’s your Aunt now?” I knew it was a toss up; I hoped she made it on the mend. “ For what it’s worth I couldn’t imagine my experience at med without you here Melanie.” I aired out before I found myself in the hot seat, I didn’t hide my story; it was uncomfortable at times. But I trust the blonde sitting besides me. “ yes all raised and bred here in the windy city. I went through the system for a bit until I was old enough. Seeing as the only aunt I had left, left after my family died. But I come out on top every time.” Amusement you had to see the lightness over that bang of pain would take you out.

Blake had watched his life flash before his eyes way too many times before. When he was a kid; he was the only survivor. His sister; his parents gone. It was a painful thought but the firefighters that saved him; held his hand when he stepped out into clean air it was a repeated cycle of a memory through his mind. And Blake was grateful; that close call is what gave him the edge; the risk taker inside of him. The simple things; and man he loved the bread at this italian place he swore it melted in your mouth; not to mention the Chicken Parm, man it was delicious. And perhaps a piece of him wanted to impress Melanie. Neither of us wanted fancy but I wanted us to share a real meal instead of feeling the fear of even letting our fingers brush like they were now. 

“ It’ll be to die for, I wouldn’t steer you wrong Nurse Brooks.” He added with a flirtation retort, a small playful wink of his eye. The male shifted against his pillows. Noting how easy it was the flow of conversation, the small touch of our fingers even if it wouldn’t last for long. Halstead or a nurse may disturb our peace. And I offered a tender smile to the blonde wanting to savior in the peace; the feeling of us touching. Until I heard her ask for my phone and I felt this gigginess in the pit of my stomach. Releasing her hand from mind in order to retrieve my phone from the side table and I purposely made sure my finger brushed her pinky as I handed the phone over. “ I should’ve asked for your number yesterday. Please come by anytime.” I whispered so it was hush hush on our parts. 

It was flattering, I had dated, the wrong ones because Melanie felt right; I couldn’t stop smiling now between us. And I had to grin at her comment; and I felt wanted and it was a damn nice feeling. “ How long have you been in Chicago?” I asked more so as a means of getting to know Melanie I wanted to know who she was outside of being a nurse everything she wanted to trust to share with me.

Blake was an honest man. Well he tried to be truthful. He was a protector of his friends. It was rare that he ever stopped making a fool of himself. But it was Blake; Ritter knew this quality about him; he fumbled with words; he rambled constantly. But with Melanie he felt comfortable, she had this easy state about her. And I wasn’t the type of guy to give off false promises. I wanted to go on a date with her; without the prying eyes, without the nerves of being continuous on how I spoke, if I touched her hand. And I was no fool I felt like Maggie was onto the flirtation brewing between us. 

But I didn’t let those concerns show. I would never put Melanie in harms way; her career it was important which is why besides a brush of a hand, a innocent smile exchanged between us nothing was going to happen. Until I got released that was. I was loyal and honest as Blake established earlier. “ Don’t worry, I don’t do fancy only on a special occasion. I would feel totally awkward in a fancy restaurant it’s not up my speed. But I do happen to know a low key italian place I’ve gone to with my friends. They do have the best bread it melts in your mouth.” He paused feeling foolish now as he rambled on about the food, he blinked twice before he offered a sheepish sorta grin in her direction. “ It will happen sooner rather than later. I can walk, I’ll be hitting back on the job once I am back on a routine I will be taking you out.” A promise in his tone. As he allowed his hand to sneakily extend forward so his fingers could brush innocently against her palm. He didn’t care if someone walked in in a second, he’d be pulling away shortly. Now the idea of her bringing him food, of hanging out together; it was exciting to him. He felt that little flutter in his chest when he looked at her. Blonde locks, her smile; it was cute. “ Would it be harmless of me to ask for your number once I’m released from here? For address purposely of course so you can find my place..” An excuse and a lame one at that. 

He held his own laugh in now, as he leaned back against the pillows; Melanie was cute; she was smart, she knew how to put up with my idiot moves, she was a keeper in my mind. “ Sounds like music to my ears; you’re the best company I’d want.” Blake swore he was grinning now; lopsidedly so; all because of her.

Why I will always go the extra mile to save people because a firefighter did that for me. They didn’t give up when my sister my parents were too burnt up to tell a face. They saved me.” It’s who I was; the savior; the guy that will go above and beyond. Lips pushed together to hold any tear that dared to fall at the memory; it was hard to talk about but Melanie she shared a piece of herself; so I felt I could with her. I trusted her. 

Brushing the vulnerable state off; I had echoed out my reply to the jello. “ Do i have anymore test to do or can we jump right to the jello?”

Was Blake a sweet talker? Tropically not. He normally was the type of guy to fumble with his words. He’d be the one making an idiot a fool of himself. But with Melanie it felt simple; and easy comfortable to admit to how he felt. He would miss her; that bubbly personality, that smile of hers that made his skin tingle. Even now he noticed it the eyes; the way she looked at him with genuine care. With the way if we weren’t in her workplace, I would’ve kissed her by now. But Blake was also the type of guy to be respectful. As much as I was fighting that urge to place my hand gently on her cheek and press my lips to hers. 

I would miss her; but the discomfort of the hospital was one I would never miss, and I noticed her face soften now; as we glanced at the open doors; the sliding doors to ensure no one was prying eyes or eavesdropping on us. And I offered that dorky grin of mine; she’d miss me. But she even told me I owed her a proper date; tryst me that was on the bucket list for me, to take her on a real date; in a restaurant with people; where I could hold her hand in public without feeling as If I was doing something wrong. And I wore that goofy expression eagerness. “ I will, in fact what kind of food do you like? As much as I enjoyed those wraps, the hospital food, I want to take you somewhere nicer.” Not too fancy I got nervous when I had to wear a suit. But the point was I wanted to take Melanie out; I wanted to share an evening together. The feeling was mutual I felt now. As I listened to her explain the whereabouts of Halstead; he was a busy surgeon I didn’t expect him to favor me due to being a firefighter; plus it gave me extra time with the blonde. “ The best company to have.” I aired out with a grin, as I reached over to pat her hand gently; a gesture but enough to express I was happy to have her here. 

No harm no foul.

It was my nature to get tangled up. It was beyond the risks Blake tended to take. He was the man that climbed up a 12 story building, he was the guy that swung through ropes in order to reach a person in need. You could say he was a daredevil. He had gotten scolded at the start at 51 because of his risk tenacity. Borden was only trying to protect his men; and Casey he was why I was still at 51. He fought for me, and given my story it made sense why I’d go to bat for innocent people. I was only a child when I lost my parents, my sister to a fire. I was on my own. I was the one that had to be strong; I was the one who had to get their life together because I had a life to live. 

I knew the dangers of walking into fires; I knew how to handle the job; and honestly today was a pure accident; but in my eyes a nice one. Because due to my injuries I was now in the same room as this beautiful girl; Melanie, and i felt it that spark i haven’t felt in a long time. I felt that spark you never want to let dim. I knew I was only teasing; the gentle tone in my voice said it all. “ Jello was the game changer, you see I’m a sucker for jello, it’s how I healed myself each time I got sick.” Not that was true; along with a bunch of cold medicine, but he wanted to show the connection why she had him at the mention of jello. Not to mention his attempt to save her from an idiot doctor who simply never got the hint. So now that we made it known we had a jello date; we had to follow through with it right? 

It was easy; to pretend outside these hospital walls the reality didn’t exsit. Gallo wasn’t the guy to flirt easier; and let’s be honest he was probably coming up short with her. But he also felt the blonde was flirting back with him; it wasn’t an idea he convinced himself of in his head. Melanie liked him; it was clear with her next comment; that she’d want to see him again. Now Gallo glanced to the white sheets on the bed as he attempted to conceal the smile that dared to tug along his lips. He was the mess up; he was the guy who fumbled with words, who never said what he felt; but with her; he wanted to test the boundaries. It was wrong; he was a patient in her care nor would he ever want to risk her career; but he also had to tease her on her own remark. 

“ So what I’m hearing is you want to see me again even if I get injured or not, normally we end the first date before admitting you want to see the guy again.” A joke based on the lame movies he’s seen with Violet and Ritter; there was a whole list of films this situation would fit for. Regardless; he’d even tag along with Brett and Violet to deliver paperwork, or do a health check up if it meant he’d see her again. Point was he did want to see her again; where he wasn’t glued to a hospital bed. Once the pillows were done being fluffed; the male had inched himself to lay down, head hitting the fluffed pillows, a lazy smile came to his lips. 

Head tilted to the side; as his gaze was drawn right back to her; her eyes, her smile it came the knots form in the pit of his stomach. He was flattered she wanted to share a piece of her. Why she was a nurse; it made sense. Experiences in life is what dictate our careers; I could say the same for myself. “ I’m happy to hear you haven’t had any more almost injuries; maybe you can sparkle those good sprits on me.” Another joke; as he fought the urge to extend his arm out to her; but that would definitely be seen as crossing a long.

Blake Gallo was a tough cookie. He swore he had the ability to be the man of steal when he wasn’t falling on his feet. But the point was he was a risk taker like a man of steel; like a superhero. It was rare that he felt the impact of his falls. This incident proved to be the worse one he’s taken. But the light at the end of the tunnel was getting to meet Melanie, getting the chance to see her smile; she lit up the room. She had an amazing bedside manners; explains why men liked to flirt with her. She was nice on the eyes; she made me laugh, she made my experience that I once dreaded inside a hospital a good one. 

I no longer would think of a hospital as death; it was now the place I met the blonde; the girl I planned on falling insanely in love with. I had hoped today was the last few  hours i’d be forced to spent within this hospital wing, not because I ached to get away from the blonde the opposite. I didn’t want to be afraid someone was esadropping on our conversation; afraid if my eyes lingered on her too long someone may see, I couldn’t wait to meet up after shifts and not feel guilty for my overwhelming feelings. But first I had to be rested; I had to relax my body as my head tilted over to meet her gaze. “ Morning, I figured you did, but for once I think my body adapted to this lumpy bed, I definitely won’t miss it, but the thing I will miss..” he stopped himself as his eyes was only on her and he whispered the words. “ You.” As if it was a secret to him. The male was grinning ear to ear now. His body was aching it was no surprise he was due for another dose of his pain medication. It’s a damn good thing he had the best nurse in this hospital at his service. 

At the mention of his release, he nodded along, not wanting to appear too excited, he didn’t want to give off the wrong expression. Of course he wanted back to work; he didn’t want to feel trapped, but it was Melanie the reason why he felt okay to stick around for  a few more hours. ‘ How long until Halstead comes by? “ Asked wanting to get the test over with; who knows if he’ll be poking my skin with needles or i’d have to head to the X-ray machines yet again..

Reliving the thrill of recuse through a screen. The news was awfully boring until a bridge recuse had come into view. I swore I had instantly shifted to fully sit up against the fluffed up pillows. A collapse at the bridge, now I knew my heroics could’ve come in handy. But instead I was mending my own wounds in a hospital. The visual of the bridge in half, people running from their cars to hold on to edges for dear life. Squad was seen on the footage, and I felt this thrill inside of my blood. I know I got injuried on the job but nothing compared to the thrill to the rush I experienced on each call. I must have been laser eye focused on the screen because I barely realized I had a visitor until I heard her voice, and I turned my attention to the bubbly blonde; my favorite nurse; the reason I smiled when a caregiver came into view 

“ There she is,” I hummed more to myself; a brighten grin played against my lips. As I felt that ache starting to form on my banaged form, the white cloth would be in view if I took the blanket off my body, but I knew I was in safe hands with Melanie, she was scrolling through my chart with ease. I knew she’d be able to see I was due for pain killers before I answered, and all I did was nod my head now. The male had a teasing written into his tone when he spoke now. ‘ I did, you’d be happy to know I managed to sleep in this floppy bed, but I was disappointed you weren’t here when I woke up.” I added with a hint of a boyish smirk that now ran on his features. 

The light of his time here was here; the one that calmed him, made him excited to leave was knowing he wouldn’t have to hide his own affection towards her.

Hours of rest was the cure, to heal the body. To let the wounds dissolve on their own. But given Blake’s ribs, how the discomfort came and went on their own; he found himself tossing his head back and forth every few hours. And each time he felt like a doctor or nurse was about to enter through the clear glass doors. He frozen his eyes glued shut and pretended to be resting. He knew when Melanie had entered because even with his eyes glued shut he felt her particular gaze, the way he felt butterflies swimming through his stomach. But he didn’t want to open his eyes; he got that spidey tingle that the one nurse Maggie was keeping a watchful eye on every time we spoke, the body language and I cared about Melanie I didn’t want to make one wrong move to jeopardize her future as a nurse here. I told myself to keep it professional until I was able to be released the following day. I felt the change of IVs the meds as my body loosen up on its own. The way the aches  slowly subsided on their own. 

It had been another two hours when Blake did stir from his sleep. His eyes opened down widely. He slowly shifted into a sitting position a low whine through his lips. Teeth purposely bitting down on his lip to quiet himself. No need for concern right? Light eyes glanced around the dim lit room as he watched the line of doctors walk briskly by the room, the nurses desk had a few unfamiliar nurses behind the desk, typing away probably updating files. No sign of the blonde; he was sure she’d come soon, a hint of excitement in my head. Until then. Blake reached onto the end table to retrieve the remote for the small TV, and he started to scrolled through the channels; it was early; the news was his only option, plus perhaps he could feel that thrill of the job through the news; for a second.

 Blake Gallo surprised himself with his confession, especially to a girl he just met hours ago. A girl who technically was deemed off limits. At least until the male was discharged and able to leave this dreadful hospital. It was the place he wasn’t a fan of, the place that felt like tragedy. That felt like his grief creeped up on him. He lost his whole family to a fire. He was the only one that survived, it encouraged him towards his purpose. Towards the risk taking he took on a daily. But being confided to these walls, it terrified him. But Melanie was a blessing; she was sweet, it was ideal to envision falling insanely in love with her. Because we laughed; our corny hospital date; I felt those butterflies. 

I forget why I was injured with her, and I couldn’t wait to see her again. As I heard her response, she was okay with my declaration of falling head over heels for her. And I promised myself; I’d catch her.  I’d hold her hand, I’d hold her to my chest if she dared to fall. But I was prepared to keep my mouth shut now especially when Dr. Halstead entered, I didn’t want to risk the chance of Melanie getting in trouble. We’d have time to discuss, to have our romance bloom after I was safely released from med.  My eyes eagerly watched the blonde disappear from my sight, I didn’t tether my eyesight to Will until Melanie was out of view. I made a note to be careful. More meds, a higher dose was concerning on my end. I already felt delusional, I felt high on drugs especially with how quick my eyes felt tired. Blake felt like the pressure on his chest was released when he found the tension in his shoulders relax. He eased himself into a sleep.  

Aching on his body, his limbs that tighten up from the bandaging, he didn’t want to be a bore, nor did he want to whine about the pain he felt. He felt his safest bet was to close his eyes. Once he felt himself dose off into a safe slumber, the male barely heard Melanie step into his room to do the next stages of meds, or to mark down his new stats. Blake had no idea how long he’d been sleeping, but it had to be hours before his head stirred awake. Before he was able to lift his eyelids open, the darkness in the room, His grogginess as he shifted his head from side to side eyeing the nurses station, Maggie was there typing on the laptop, the lights dimmed down; it had to indicate it was during the night right?

Blake Gallo was used to being the decent guy that finishes last. He was quirky, he was considered a clumsy fool which was actually quite irony if you thought about it. Since he was a rebel of his own mind. He was the one that wasted no time in jumping from stairway to stairway or the ladders that nearly got him pulled from the firehouse, if Casey didn’t go to bat for me. But Melanie she was beautiful, she was kind, and she somehow liked our hospital date. I couldn’t show my true colors the kind of date i’d truly be. But to hear her confession that she may fall for me if the next date was anything like this little one, I had to let the curves of a grin pull at my features. “ Well then, I definitely have to up my game. Because..” He paused as he glanced to the open doorway to ensure no nurses or doctors were passing by before his eyes swam to meet her own. “ I plan on falling completely over heels for you Melanie Brooks.” 

Quite a confession on his part; but he was falling. He swore he fell the second his delusional ass laid eyes on her. The way she was a calmness in his storm. The way she held his hand; the way she looked at him. He knew he’d fall if he hadn’t already. Asking the words aloud felt big manumission for him. As he felt that aching starting in his body; he tried to help the whine from escaping his own lips. But he was never big on pain. He felt the soreness in his skin,the bruises from his fall. But as she held his hand; his fingers eagerly curled around her own. Without thought; without knowledge of consequences on his part. But she liked that he wasn’t as strong as most fireman would be. A low chuckle escaped his own lips as he released her hand from his. Blake had dealt with pain, and he wasn’t going to deny that persistent pain in his body. As he shifted slowly to find the most comfortable position. His eyes kept on hers; she kept him sane within these walls. 

“ I think I’m done.” I said as my hands went to move the empty wrapping from the food together crumbled now as I tried to hand the trash to her; knowing it was helpful. Hands dropping instantly to the table as Dr.Halstead stepped inside. Gallo was one to face him feeling relieved with his tests coming back clean. Thank god he was prepared to be cleared together. “ Thank you for taking great care of me.” Echoed words aloud as my eyes moved from Halstead to Melanie not wanting my gratitude to become obvious of its own. As I noticed the blonde disappear I then allowed a few follow up questions. About healing period when I’d be cleared for duty, and Halstead shut me down instantly. “ Let’s see what happens tomorrow okay.” And I nodded as sigh left my lips leaning against the fluffed up pillows eyes gently closing.

It was my nature to get tangled up. It was beyond the risks Blake tended to take. He was the man that climbed up a 12 story building, he was the guy that swung through ropes in order to reach a person in need. You could say he was a daredevil. He had gotten scolded at the start at 51 because of his risk tenacity. Borden was only trying to protect his men; and Casey he was why I was still at 51. He fought for me, and given my story it made sense why I’d go to bat for innocent people. I was only a child when I lost my parents, my sister to a fire. I was on my own. I was the one that had to be strong; I was the one who had to get their life together because I had a life to live. 

I knew the dangers of walking into fires; I knew how to handle the job; and honestly today was a pure accident; but in my eyes a nice one. Because due to my injuries I was now in the same room as this beautiful girl; Melanie, and i felt it that spark i haven’t felt in a long time. I felt that spark you never want to let dim. I knew I was only teasing; the gentle tone in my voice said it all. “ Jello was the game changer, you see I’m a sucker for jello, it’s how I healed myself each time I got sick.” Not that was true; along with a bunch of cold medicine, but he wanted to show the connection why she had him at the mention of jello. Not to mention his attempt to save her from an idiot doctor who simply never got the hint. So now that we made it known we had a jello date; we had to follow through with it right? 

It was easy; to pretend outside these hospital walls the reality didn’t exsit. Gallo wasn’t the guy to flirt easier; and let’s be honest he was probably coming up short with her. But he also felt the blonde was flirting back with him; it wasn’t an idea he convinced himself of in his head. Melanie liked him; it was clear with her next comment; that she’d want to see him again. Now Gallo glanced to the white sheets on the bed as he attempted to conceal the smile that dared to tug along his lips. He was the mess up; he was the guy who fumbled with words, who never said what he felt; but with her; he wanted to test the boundaries. It was wrong; he was a patient in her care nor would he ever want to risk her career; but he also had to tease her on her own remark. 

“ So what I’m hearing is you want to see me again even if I get injured or not, normally we end the first date before admitting you want to see the guy again.” A joke based on the lame movies he’s seen with Violet and Ritter; there was a whole list of films this situation would fit for. Regardless; he’d even tag along with Brett and Violet to deliver paperwork, or do a health check up if it meant he’d see her again. Point was he did want to see her again; where he wasn’t glued to a hospital bed. Once the pillows were done being fluffed; the male had inched himself to lay down, head hitting the fluffed pillows, a lazy smile came to his lips. 

Head tilted to the side; as his gaze was drawn right back to her; her eyes, her smile it came the knots form in the pit of his stomach. He was flattered she wanted to share a piece of her. Why she was a nurse; it made sense. Experiences in life is what dictate our careers; I could say the same for myself. “ I’m happy to hear you haven’t had any more almost injuries; maybe you can sparkle those good sprits on me.” Another joke; as he fought the urge to extend his arm out to her; but that would definitely be seen as crossing a long. 

“ My family died in a fire when I was a kid, my parents my sister, and I was hopeless. I survived, and sometimes it doesn’t feel like I deserve it. It’s why I became a firefighter. Why I will always go the extra mile to save people because a firefighter did that for me. They didn’t give up when my sister my parents were too burnt up to tell a face. They saved me.” It’s who I was; the savior; the guy that will go above and beyond. Lips pushed together to hold any tear that dared to fall at the memory; it was hard to talk about but Melanie she shared a piece of herself; so I felt I could with her. I trusted her. 

Brushing the vulnerable state off; I had echoed out my reply to the jello. “ Do i have anymore test to do or can we jump right to the jello?”

[itanglethingsup]

Blake wasn’t going to say he was rarely ever taken off guard because he was quirky, dorky in a sense. He tended to laugh himself awkwardly out of situations. So him choking on water was no surprise. As for Melanie he was surprised she was posing such an offer. One technically speaking we were still in the walls of her place of work; the hospital. And I was her patient which indicated a sponge bath was off the table. Of course it was all teasing; I noticed the glimmer in her eyes. As if Melanie was being serious; we only just met. Barely a date through; this little teasing of a date tonight; the candle lit on my phone, the hospital food and small talk was enough to make me excited for a real outing between us. 

But Blake knew he never wanted her to compromise her career her footing at med for him; So it was nice to entertain the idea of a intimate act, while he was still stuck to the hospital bed. As he noted the amusement in her tone; he replied. “ YOu definitely did.” Get my attention. Why would anyone shut down the idea of a sponge bath with a beautiful women? Arching his brow up knitting them together; he asked ‘ Do you think the date won’t go well? Do you think the patient I am now isn’t going to live up to the hype without the rules surrounding us?” The rules of no crossing lines, the excitement of getting caught it winds you. Blake liked the blonde; and he was optimistic about what may occur once he was a free man; being able to take her on a real date; to talk more freely without the risk of someone listening in through the open doors. 

By now the pain medication had started to subside enough to where he felt that annoying ache in his chest, his lower stomach each time he had laughed or remotely attempted to hold a good time with Melanie. He weakly nodded his head. “ More jello yes, as for those pain meds yes.” As for the inside joke of bibs I had to hold my tongue on a laugh; was she going to hold my reaction over my head? Probably if her teasing was any indication. “ As for the bib you can gift it for me upon my release as a parting gift.” He added with the same level of amusement in his tone. As he said the words the ache in his body felt heavier as he placed his hand to his lower stomach a slight whine of pain. “ Don’t judge me please if I show my cards of my level of pain early on.” Blake added as a warning; knowing the female would ring up his next dose of pain meds shortly on his behalf.

[itanglethingsup]

Blake Gallo’s dating history spoke for itself. Ritter could purposely make a list in pure amusement, the lack of dating and more one date and then the harmless let down. Blake was a good guy but he did have baggage. The reason why he became a firefighter was at the forefront of his own mind. His family died in front of his eyes, he was the only one left, and each time he hops onto a ladder, each time he climbs up a flight of stairs or jumps he’s thinking of the family, of how it felt like to lose it all. And yeah Blake carried that ache on his chest. He knew it was a lot to take in the risk of not knowing if Melanie would see him again which is why he did the decent guy move and gave her the out. 

Of course he liked her; and he was making his shot with her. But he also respected her chose if she decided his line of work was too heighten too risky to handle. All that to say; the male held his own breath now, As he wore a smile that felt like it could bold into her. When she said she was all in; he swore he wore the brightest grin, his chest was beating fast out of enjoyment happiness. “ I want a date with you, I’m really glad you still want to date me..” It means that nurse charm hadn’t faded yet. Blake let his hands wrap around the cup of water as he brought it closer to his lips. Now he nearly choked on her teasing, a special lened hand of a nurse for him when he was hurt. He was coughing as he attempted to recover himself now. “ A sponge bath?” He asked raising eyes, the brows perked up now, Lost for words. Was this becoming less innocent and more banged with desire if we weren’t in this hospital room right now? 

“ As a nurse ensure I don’t have to stay in this hospital, do home care, and I can promise to behave for that sponge bath..” I added with a grin at the corners of my lips.

[itanglethingsup]

Blake Couldn’t tell you when it happened, but he developed real feelings for his nurse. It was probably the second he opened his eyes after his fall and Melanie was the first person he saw. The first person he lamely uttered two words to. He remembered believing Melanie was the most beautiful women he’s ever laid eyes on. But our flirting was a game, or so I believed, it was a means of entertaining my time here at the hospital. She was sweet on the eyes; and appeared to like my dorky charms. I had no game as I remind you. But for some reason she couldn’t shake that smile that creased along her lips. Blake knew he was truly flirting with each whisper, with ease teasing word he spoke. But given the dangers of saying such intimate things in this room, with the chance of prying eyes; Blake may be catching his own luck. 

But he smiled, a true smile as he heard her notion of saying yes. In his head Blake was jumping for joy, he wanted to reach for the sky; but that would scream it was rare that a girl said yes to him before. And no he wasn’t going to be lame in front of the blonde, not tonight. She had time to back out of our future date. “ I wouldn’t hold it against you if you did back out at last minute.” 

I wouldn’t I was a good guy; understanding at that. Blake would understand if once we stepped outside the safety of these walls Melanie might decide I wasn’t worth the chance, or hassle. I wore the sleeves of a risky job, some days I had no idea if I’d end up walking back into my apartment in one piece. I liked her, I wanted the opportunity to get to know her; to hold her hand without fear of being caught. I wanted to laugh with her; I wanted to hold her gaze, and reach over to slip her loose strays of hair behind her ear. I wanted to know Melanie, but only if she decided a real date with me was her cup of tea. “ You and me both, Although if I hadn’t been emitted today, I wouldn’t of met you.” I paused ensuring no prying eyes were glancing in our firstion. I brought the last of my turkey wrap to my lips, As I lowered my tone once I finished chewing. “ You were the bright spot in my day Nurse Brooks.” I said in a teasing tone; an intimate gaze as my hues ranked her over as if for the first time. As for the questioning for my career; I was a firefighter; which meant. I risked my body on a daily, I tended to jump climbs, I took more necessary risks than others; and as I found myself getting lost in her eyes; I didn’t want to lie, not to her. 

“ It depends. I take more risks than others, It’s how I raised myself. I can get hurt, I never intend on appearing in a hospital, but if I know I may be seeing you it might be tempted.” I added with that charming grin of mine, hoping to loosen the blow of my own risky tenacious.

Blake Gallo never was one to trade good luck when it came to relationships. He always tended to put his foot in his mouth. He was seen as immature at times; which was probably true. He was a younger firefighter; he had his stripes to earn. He was sweet, but he also had the tenacity to let his overthinking get the best of him. Did he believe he’d meet a lovely women here at the hospital? No and at the start when he requested her company on a jello date it felt all fun and games to sweep her away from that doctor Mike that simply couldn’t understand a hint. But now sitting here all bandaged up he couldn’t help but smile to himself and at her. He was smitten with her; she was attentive, she wanted to get to know him, she laughed at his lame and pathetic humor. He couldn’t shake the feeling he was suppose to meet her; and yeah the risk of his career was an obstacle we’d figure out if this date took off for real. 

Blake wasn’t concerned. He liked being around her; and it was big of him to assume but he felt like Melanie liked him too. She smiled at him, and he had to wear that drizzling smile of his when she made the quip about landing us right back into the hospital. The undertone of our whispers; knowing prying eyes could be observing in any corner. He never wanted to get the blonde in trouble, but his words; the flirting in his own nature; it’s like his mouth had a mind of its own. 

Blake hadn’t felt this way before; he was riding the wave. “ No, no more hospital visits, unless..” He paused taking a glance quickly towards the door noting no one was watching and he spoke in a hushed tone. “ It’s to visit you.” A smirk hitting the corners of his lips. Her touch left goosebumps along his skin, and he had to feel the shiver that ran down his spine. A small touch that felt like his skin was on fire. A lingering one as his hand was now released. And the smirk was content on his features. A smooth talker; Blake wanted to make his own intentions clear. 

“ Be prepared because I don’t make false promises, Once I’m released and our relationship isn’t messy due to the professionalism I’m required to hold right now, I will be taking your hand and asking you out on a proper date.” My eyes spoke for me as I drank her in as if I was fixated on her beauty, Glancing to the half eaten wrap I brought it up to my lips taking a few more bites; The wraps were decent; this hospital had brownie points. As for my release date, I knew I’d be in safe hands with Halstead and the female in front of me. “ Let’s hope it’s tomorrow. I can get impatient,” Didn’t we all. 

No firefighter enjoyed a hospital, especially when my favorite nurse was tending to other patients, The pain killers slowly working through the aches in my body. But I’d be awake until Melanie was forced away; Gallo had always been a trooper.

“ So what I’m hearing is you want to see me again even if I get injured or not, normally we end the first date before admitting you want to see the guy again.” A joke based on the lame movies he’s seen with Violet and Ritter; there was a whole list of films this situation would fit for. Regardless; he’d even tag along with Brett and Violet to deliver paperwork, or do a health check up if it meant he’d see her again. Point was he did want to see her again; where he wasn’t glued to a hospital bed. Once the pillows were done being fluffed; the male had inched himself to lay down, head hitting the fluffed pillows, a lazy smile came to his lips. 

Head tilted to the side; as his gaze was drawn right back to her; her eyes, her smile it came the knots form in the pit of his stomach. He was flattered she wanted to share a piece of her. Why she was a nurse; it made sense. Experiences in life is what dictate our careers; I could say the same for myself. “ I’m happy to hear you haven’t had any more almost injuries; maybe you can sparkle those good sprits on me.” Another joke; as he fought the urge to extend his arm out to her; but that would definitely be seen as crossing a long. 

“ My family died in a fire when I was a kid, my parents my sister, and I was hopeless. I survived, and sometimes it doesn’t feel like I deserve it. It’s why I became a firefighter. Why I will always go the extra mile to save people because a firefighter did that for me. They didn’t give up when my sister my parents were too burnt up to tell a face. They saved me.” It’s who I was; the savior; the guy that will go above and beyond. Lips pushed together to hold any tear that dared to fall at the memory; it was hard to talk about but Melanie she shared a piece of herself; so I felt I could with her. I trusted her. 

Brushing the vulnerable state off; I had echoed out my reply to the jello. “ Do i have anymore test to do or can we jump right to the jello?”

Blake Gallo was the guy who never landed the girl. He saw himself having no game at all. The only reason he ended up flirting with Melanie was due to the amount of drugs that coursed through his system. She was beautiful, any guy would be lucky to be on a date with her. But I’d never hold the courage to speak two words to her. I’d never be able to flirt my way into a meal with her. And that my friend was a compliment on her end. Blake was shy at times, he was stupid ass at times when it came to his ability to make a fool of himself. All that to say; the male wasn’t the one who was used to earning a smile from a beautiful girl. 

He wanted a real date, he wanted to be able to call her his, he liked her. The second he saved her from her torment of a date with Mike was it.. It may be the pain medication that was speaking for him. That was the motivation for why he sat with the blonde now, but he couldn’t imagine not being on a date with her now. A smitten grin that played against his lips, the male was the one that shifted slightly as he brought his wrap to his lips, taking a few bites as he processed her metaphoric words; her notions of what his words could mean for us. A hearted laugh that escaped his own lips. As he reached forward out of a tenacity, not remotely believing any doctor could be passing by, could be the ones to catch us. I wasn’t always going to be her patient, I’d be released soon. As my eyes scanned over her features, I wore a smile that said thousands. 

“ Or it could be mean I’ll be taking you breathlessly away, and to where when my lips touch yours you do get knocked off your feet, to where I won’t let you walk again..” The words breathless on my lips; not that either of us wanted to say the words; admit the meaning especially within these walls. Of risk, of not wanting to be caught.

It was my nature to get tangled up. It was beyond the risks Blake tended to take. He was the man that climbed up a 12 story building, he was the guy that swung through ropes in order to reach a person in need. You could say he was a daredevil. He had gotten scolded at the start at 51 because of his risk tenacity. Borden was only trying to protect his men; and Casey he was why I was still at 51. He fought for me, and given my story it made sense why I’d go to bat for innocent people. I was only a child when I lost my parents, my sister to a fire. I was on my own. I was the one that had to be strong; I was the one who had to get their life together because I had a life to live. 

I knew the dangers of walking into fires; I knew how to handle the job; and honestly today was a pure accident; but in my eyes a nice one. Because due to my injuries I was now in the same room as this beautiful girl; Melanie, and i felt it that spark i haven’t felt in a long time. I felt that spark you never want to let dim. I knew I was only teasing; the gentle tone in my voice said it all. “ Jello was the game changer, you see I’m a sucker for jello, it’s how I healed myself each time I got sick.” Not that was true; along with a bunch of cold medicine, but he wanted to show the connection why she had him at the mention of jello. Not to mention his attempt to save her from an idiot doctor who simply never got the hint. So now that we made it known we had a jello date; we had to follow through with it right? 

It was easy; to pretend outside these hospital walls the reality didn’t exsit. Gallo wasn’t the guy to flirt easier; and let’s be honest he was probably coming up short with her. But he also felt the blonde was flirting back with him; it wasn’t an idea he convinced himself of in his head. Melanie liked him; it was clear with her next comment; that she’d want to see him again. Now Gallo glanced to the white sheets on the bed as he attempted to conceal the smile that dared to tug along his lips. He was the mess up; he was the guy who fumbled with words, who never said what he felt; but with her; he wanted to test the boundaries. It was wrong; he was a patient in her care nor would he ever want to risk her career; but he also had to tease her on her own remark. 

“ So what I’m hearing is you want to see me again even if I get injured or not, normally we end the first date before admitting you want to see the guy again.” A joke based on the lame movies he’s seen with Violet and Ritter; there was a whole list of films this situation would fit for.

Blake Gallo was always the guy who tended to make a fool of himself. He had good intentions always; he had a heart of gold. He was also quite the risk taker. Gallo didn’t know what it felt like to have a real girl interested in him. Yeah he had flings; he wasn’t shy to flirting but this felt different with Melanie. It wasn’t because she was deemed forbidden because he felt that attraction the second she spoke to him; that sweet voice of hers. The tenderness in her hands each time she took care of him. This date started off as a means of getting the blonde away from hr suitor; but now it felt real. Even if the male wasn’t allowed to make a move; he could shamelessly flirt with the female. In his dorky way. 

Holding the uncovered wrap in his grasp; the male brought the tasty wrap to his lips taking a few bites. Not realizing how hungry he was until he chewed and felt the lettuce and turkey melt in his mouth. Man he didn’t want to be a fool but he was so preoccupied before the call he never ate, and man this food tasted like it was decent; unless Melanie had purposely gotten us the good stuff. A dreamy grin laced upon his lips. He heard her compliment; it was sweet, and romantic on his end. He eyed the door; before he slowly purposely let his pinky hit the edge of her hand in a teasing motion. 

“ Thank you, I wanted to give you a taste of a real date with me, just imagine if we weren’t in this hospital.” He whispered for only the blonde to hear, a playful wink left his eye. And he purposely glanced to his food taking another bite in case any prying eyes were passing by. Innocent and harmless; for now. Now if we were here; and at an actual restaurant; I could throw the moves out there; touch her hand with purpose. But for now the conversation would have to hold. But it wasn’t in my head; because she wanted a real date too; I felt it with her gaze; with the way she spoke of forbidden love; it was hot; to think we’d see each other in secret. I wanted to; my heart was leaping for her. But for now I had to settle for sharing a meal with her. 

“ It’s a good thing I won’t always be your patient, I can say I will knock you off your feet the day I get released, but I guess I’ll settle with the jello for tonight.” He echoed with yet another teasing in his tone; he let his gaze linger on her; as if he was tracing her every feature; she was beautiful, smart everything a guy wanted; and he hoped this date never ended.
