Honestly. The minute I found out Rafael was an actual li and not a reoccurring character like Emery or Kyra, I just had to give my girl Taisia her man.

She's into actual firefighters, yes. Typically. But this man went into a burning building to help save Dolores, he is incredible.

TaiFel or RafSia both sound good too. Even AveiZova.

1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9—shit. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...11...12...13...14. 56.

1:06 AM

“Stop doing that, I’m not dead yet,” Jensen grumbled sleepily, yanking his hand back into his lap.

“Sorry,” Bryce replied. His tone was more lifeless than Jensen looked, tired and dejected.

Jensen rolled over, facing him. “You know it’s right there for a reason, right?” He said it with hardly a glance at the heart rate monitor, too exhausted to manage more. 

“Just keeping myself busy,” Bryce answered. “You should go to sleep.”

“Really?” he quipped, fast and sharp as always, “I hadn’t thought of it.”

It earned him a grin—a real one, as difficult as it was—but it faded just as fast. Bryce took Jensen’s hand again, playing with his fingers and holding extra tight, the gloves making it impossible to feel the dryness of his hands. They were always scratchy and rough from washing and sanitizing tens of times in a day, fingers calloused on the ends. His nails, painted a dark blue, were starting to chip. Would the embalmers take it off or repaint them?

Jensen shook him off, reminding him again that he wasn’t gone yet, and fidgeted with the blanket over himself. He ran the texture between his fingers. 

“Do you want to be cremated or embalmed?” Bryce asked. He still watched his hands, distracted.

“Oh, cremated, for sure—unless I can haunt Ethan, that is.”

There was a lightness to Jensen’s tone, seeming as monotone and factual as usual, but the ludicrous theory giving away to Bryce that he was joking. 

“I’m being serious.”

As he looked back up, Jensen’s eyes were a flat, solid shade of unforgiving, boring brown. No depth to the green hues Bryce could catch in the afternoon sunlight—just as sterile as the fluorescents illuminating them.

“If you keep acting like I’m dead, I’m going to kick you out. You’re supposed to be the optimist here, this is completely backwards.”

Bryce took a breath, looking down at the large, clunky suit he donned. “...I know. I’m trying.”

“Try harder. We could be talking about anything and you’re worried about my not-guaranteed funeral.” He said the next part in a mocking tone—a phrase Bryce had said plenty of times. “Not very ‘go with the flow’ of you.”

“How are you being more chill about this than I am?”

“Because I’m fine.” And the undeniable way he said it made it feel like the truth. Even with the dark circles under his eyes, and the exhaustion he couldn’t shake, it felt true. “If I die, oh well. Life moves on—it’s not like I’ll know it.”

As much as Bryce wanted to argue, wanted to correct the flaws in his thinking, he didn’t want to strain him with an unnecessary effort to defend himself. He was there to comfort him and that’s what he would try to do. “You seem more comfortable talking about death than you do small talk.”

Jensen's laugh turned into a cough, far into his chest with an agonizing sound that had Bryce reaching for the emesis basin. He waved him off, taking a sip of his water before settling back in the bed.

“It’s not the first time I’ve thought about it,” Jensen replied, a little more serious, a little more real.

Bryce gave him an inquisitive look, but Jensen just responded with a tired head tilt that meant he could interpret it however he wanted. He didn’t. 

Maybe he should. Maybe it was naive to have hope, but he would wait as long as he had to for Jensen to tell him what that meant. What any of it meant. All the vague references and to-himself jokes that Bryce didn’t understand—he wanted to. He wanted to know every detail of him: what built him and what broke him.

Once again playing with Jensen’s hands, a gentle encouragement to lull him to sleep, he recalled a night at Donahue’s like the others. The group shared stories from undergrad, their drunkest and most embarrassing moments, but Jensen had been utterly silent. Not that it was far out of character, but when multiple opportunities were presented to make fun of Landry and he took none of them, Bryce was going to notice.

It was also easy to recognize when he had been perfecting it himself for years. He remembered trying to stay quiet in an effort to go unnoticed, but that method never worked well given how often he was the one talking. For Jensen, it was believable; it was a perfectly practiced way to hide something.

But Bryce’s eyes had always been drawn to him. From the first day he walked into the locker room, all piercing glances and analytical expressions, Bryce noticed him. Noticed the light inflections in his tone, a small but important indicator most didn’t pick up on, but was obvious to anyone who bothered to learn him. 

Bryce didn’t learn enough of him. No, it didn’t help that Jensen was the opposite of chatty, but he couldn’t help feeling some ounce of guilt for that. “I don’t think you’ve stopped talking since I met you.” Did he take up every conversation? Were there times Jensen was going to share something about himself—something worth something—that Bryce covered with his own insignificant blabber? 

Everything was worth something when usually he got nothing at all. Jensen’s silence was not odd, after you got used to it, that is, and neither was the lack of substance. Bryce wanted more than that.

What were his hobbies? He could take a guess from the keyboard and bass in his room, but was it ever more serious than a display on the wall? 

All he knew was a shell of a person, only the details you could see on the outside, and he just never bothered to ask for anything more. He settled for the least amount of worth you could get from a person and never batted an eye, just kept talking and talking and fucking talking.

What was his favorite restaurant in the city? One of the places they went together? Or somewhere Bryce never bothered to ask about?

Boston was Jensen’s home for just over a year, yet he had 26 before that elsewhere. 

Where did he grow up?

When was his birthday?

What was his middle name?

Did he want to be cremated or embalmed?

A tap on the window caught his attention. Sienna was standing there with his phone in her hand, shaking it in a way that said he needed to check it. He glanced over Jensen again, well asleep this time, and carefully set his hand down.

A long slew of profanities left his mouth as he wrestled with the suit, grabbing his phone as fast as possible to see the tens of missed calls from Keiki. He barely had it in his hands before pressing the call back button. Waiting for a long few rings, she finally answered. 

“Hey, sorry, I—”

“No, it’s fine, are you okay? I saw the news.” The breathiness in her voice showed her concern no matter how hard she fought to keep her tone even. 

“Yes, I’m okay. I wasn’t there when it happened.” He checked over Jensen one more time through the window, still asleep, before gathering his things to leave. “I’ll be home in twenty minutes; did you eat anything?”

It took her a second to answer. “Uh, no. I…wasn’t really hungry.”

“I’ll get you something.”

He opened the locker room door to collect his coat and keys, tossing the latter on as she replied, “It’s like two in the morning, nothings going to be open.”

“I’ll get you something,” he repeated before ending the call, shoving his phone into his pocket and starting towards his car.

Twenty minutes later he arrived home, gas station food in a plastic bag he tossed on the counter. 

“I’m sorry,” he said as she stood from the couch, in pajamas and yawning but set up with a movie and her phone to keep her awake.

“It’s fine, I’m just glad you’re okay, I guess,” she said, taking a bag of chips out and opening them up. He declined when she offered them, standing aimlessly in the middle of the kitchen. 

He couldn’t sit down knowing the uncertainty of what was happening at the hospital, but he couldn’t pace around agitated the whole night. He would wait until Keiki was asleep then return to the hospital for an update. Maybe text Sienna while he waited. 

“You look like you’re going to be sick,” Keiki commented, shoving a handful into her mouth. The thought of eating did make him sick, but he just shrugged it off.

“It was just stressful,” he replied, trying to have some semblance of normalcy. He set his phone and keys down, almost robotic, on the dining table. She was watching his every move, even as he took a breath, reminding himself that normally he’d go change. So, he did.

His bed was a mess, blankets crumpled from where Keiki had taken it over, her stack of books on the nightstand along with her clothes in a heap on the floor. Grabbing his change of clothes, he took them to the bathroom, sensing that it was no longer his space.

She was still in the kitchen when he returned, watching him again.

“I forgot to ask, but were your friends okay?”

That was all it took for his lip to tremble, unable to get an answer out. He distracted himself with grabbing the remote from the couch, setting it on the coffee table and sitting down with a deep breath. He waited for the ache in the back of his throat to subside with every following breath, blinking back the wetness around his eyes.

“No.”

But he could barely choke back the sob escaping from his throat, sending the tears well over the floodgates.

He never even got a moment to check on Raf, and even in the half an hour he was gone, Jensen’s condition could have significantly worsened. It was too easy to imagine when he was out of his sight, no tangible proof in front of him: no dry comments and no tired grins, the same ones he’d probably never see again.

Wiping the tears was a useless effort, a constant flow wetting his face and soaking his sleeves.

The couch dipped next to him. Keiki tucked a few tissues into his hand before wrapping her arms around him.

And he remembered it from a thousand times before. The nights he’d come home late and have it out with his dad in the middle of the foyer, giving everything just as vicious as he got it, but only ending with him in tears. Keiki would sneak in, probably woken up by the shouting, to ask what was going on, but the minute she saw his face she’d climb up his bed to wrap him in a hug that couldn’t quite reach around him. It didn’t matter if she didn’t know the details—it was better she didn’t—but she was the only one there who had enough compassion to try.

Here she was again, picking up the pieces of a mess that wasn’t hers. He didn’t have the strength to fight her on it, though, and didn’t have the strength to send her to bed like he should’ve on those nights. He just turned, letting his arms fall over her shoulders and holding on with everything he had.

Open Heart: Snowed In -- Now on Storyloom

It's published!!!!

Open Heart: Snowed In (A Holiday Special)

When a blizzard disrupts holiday plans, the doctors at Boston's Edenbrook Hospital discover that the season isn't about where you are but who you're with. Love and friendship can outshine the fiercest of storms and bring unexpected joys.

A/N: This story is set during third year, but doesn't follow Open Heart: Third Year canon events.

The below customizations are available:

Pick your MC:

Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to customize the MC name, so it sticks to the default: Casey Valentine.

Pick your LI (or not):

You can select your LI at the start of the story, and will experience LI-coded romantic scenes accordingly.

BONUS: You can choose not to be in a relationship and will have platonic-coded scenes with your friends.

Author notes:

Storyloom is available on the web, and they have a mobile app. So you can play on either device. The design is specifically for mobile. Their platform has glitches with the background music on web. It plays initially but switches off when transitioning to a new scene. I had to exit the story and click "continue" and then the music started again.

Hope you check out Open Heart: Snowed In.

"You were such a small baby, Raf."

"I was born prematurely."

"You were?!" Her head snaps to the side to look at him.

"Yeah..." He nods. "Mamãe was thirty seven and had some complications during her pregnancy. She was in the thirty fourth week of pregnancy when she went into labor."

"Oh, that must have been awful..."

"I think it was... Vovó prayed to Saint Rafael everyday and made two promises if I survived. The first one was to name me after the saint and the other was to not cut my hair until I was five."

"Really?"

Rafael flipped a few pages and pointed to a picture of him with long hair.

"Oh my god!" She beams. "I know you're cute, but look at this face and those pretty and long curls!"

His cheeks grow dark as he looks away. "I don't know... Long hair isn't that much fun. It gets tangled too easily. No kid wants to run in the field and get hair on their faces while playing tag."

Fanfic For: @artbyalz

It was a beautiful day, another wonderful day in Boston. Bryce and Rafael have been dating for almost a year now, they are also living together in an apartment.  It was around like six in the morning, Rafael was spooning Bryce with his strong muscular arms. Bryce was in Rafel’s arms just cuddling as he nuzzled on Rafael’s chest still smiling in his sleep. They were sleeping so peacefully in one piece together. The alarm clock went off, Rafael opened his brown eyes, waking up with a stretch then glazing at Bryce for a little bit before he got off the bed and headed off to the bathroom for a shower. Rafael closes the bathroom door then locks it, he takes off his pajamas to begin to shower.  As Rafael showers, Bryce starts to stir in his sleep as slowly opening his brown eyes. 

Bryce groans but sits up on the bed to stretch, Bryce then turns to look at Rafael’s side of the bed and notice that he was already awake and not in the bed. Bryce hops off the bed and stretches, he decides to go outside to play basketball at their front yard so he puts on his jacket before going outside to play some basketball. As Bryce plays basketball, Rafael finishes his shower then steps out of it to dry himself with a towel then puts on his work clothes then combs his hair. Rafael walks out of the bathroom, he notices Bryce was up and not in the bed now. Rafael knows where Bryce went, he goes outside seeing Bryce playing basketball. Rafael showed a smile on his face, Bryce was distracted playing basketball but a few moments later Bryce looked at Rafael and smiled.

“Goood morninggg!!” Bryce says to Rafael in a flirty tone. 

Rafael chuckles and looks at Bryce in aw before he walks towards Bryce and wrapped his strong muscular arms around Bryce’s waist. 

“Good morning babe.” Rafael responds in a loving tone as he kisses Bryce softly on the lips. 

Bryce was kissing Rafael back, wrapping his arms around Rafael’s neck, savoring the moment. The kiss got deeper and more passionately a little over every minute. 

Rafael then slightly pulls away but still holding Bryce in his embrace. Bryce’s body was pressed against Rafael’s chest. Bryce looks up at Rafael smiling. 

“I hope you had a sweet dream.” Bryce says flirtatiously as he uses his fingers to run through Rafael’s brown hair grinning.

Rafael’s cheeks grew a little red on his face and smiled, “Oh well.. Yes I did, especially you there next to me..”  Rafael says in a soft tone. 

“I was playing basketball for the normal routine of working out.” Bryce winks at Rafael. 

Rafael blushes a little bit and let out a chuckle still looking into Bryce’s eyes, “I can see that.” Rafael responded. 

“I am about to make some breakfast and some coffee, you down for that?” Rafael asks.

“Yeah, it sounds good!” Bryce answers smiling at Rafael. 

Rafael nods in a response smiling before heading into the house, he goes into the kitchen to start making breakfast. Bryce kept playing basketball for a few minutes more before eventually heading inside himself to get ready for the day. Bryce heads to the bathroom and takes his shower. Rafael was making some protein like sausage and bacon including eggs for breakfast. Rafael could hear Bryce singing from the bathroom. Rafael’s facial expression turned into a genuine loving smile as he was still making breakfast. 

As Rafael was finished with making breakfast, he suddenly heard Bryce’s shout. 

“RAFAELLL!! WHERE ARE MY DOCTOR PANTS?!” Bryce shouts. 

Rafael heard Bryce from like three feet away from the bathroom. He then walks toward the bathroom door and leans in to communicate to Bryce. 

“You didn’t check your drawers before taking that shower?” Rafael asks through the door.

“Uhhh forgot?” Bryce answers through the door. 

Rafael sighs, “You want me to go get it for you?” he asks through the door.

“That would be great! Thank youuu my loveee!” Bryce says in his loving tone through the door.

Rafael chuckled before he went into the bedroom to grab Bryce’s doctor pants from his drawer. 

“This guy really needs to double check before doing something.” Rafael mumbled to himself, smiling. 

Rafael walked out of the bedroom with Bryce’s doctor pants on his hands then went back to the bathroom door.

“Bryce I got them, can you open the door so I can hand it to you.” Rafael says lovingly. 

“Yeah okay!” Bryce says.

A few moments later. Bryce opens the bathroom door. Rafael chuckled as he saw how gorgeous Bryce looked shirtless. He then shaked his head and hands the doctor pants to Bryce. 

“Here you go.” Rafael says as he is smiling at Bryce.

“Thanks!’ Bryce says in a happy tone as he takes his doctor pants. 

“You really need to remember to double check things before doing something.” Rafael chuckled lovingly. 

“Yeah.. but you know how I am though..” Bryce says being a little vulnerable for a moment. 

“Don’t worry about it, okay? I’m still here for you no matter what!” Rafael showed a reassuring smile. 

“What did I do to deserve you..” Bryce says softly. 

“By being my friend first and the good one before the moment we developed feelings for each other.” Rafael says in a grin as he places his hand to rub Bryce’s head. 

“And I thought I’m usually the flirty one.” Bryce chuckled. 

“Come on sportsman, hurry up and finish. Food is on the table.” Rafael says grinning as going to the kitchen. 

Time skip: 7:00 Am 

Bryce comes into the kitchen in his doctor outfit then sits down in a chair.  Rafael was already sitting down, taking some bites of his food and swallows before looking at Bryce into his eyes. 

“Looking good as always Bryce.” Rafael says with a small smile.

“Thank you.” Bryce smiles and responds cheerfully.

“Anyways, what is going on with you today?” Bryce asks as he looks into Rafael’s eyes. 

“Well I honestly think it will be like everyday but though.. I am helping a little girl named Ameila walk again.. She was in a car accident recently and needs physical therapy to improve her walks.” Rafael says in his vulnerable tone. 

Bryce places his hand on Rafael’s shoulder and smiles. 

“Hey! I know this is tough… but on your end, I know you got this. You’re still the most selfless person I ever met in my life and I always admire that about you.. I know Casey believed in you about still saving people. You are still doing that by helping them feel supported and encouraged to reach that goal.” Bryce says as looking at Rafael. 

“You know… I know we are still getting used to our relationship but.. I really do love you..” Bryce says softly.

Rafael smiles at Bryce, Rafael’s heart melted when hearing Bryce’s three words. At first Rafael did not say anything before he responded. 

“I love you too Bryce.. Thanks for making me feel like the happiest man in the world.” Rafael says as smiling. 

Bryce grins as he leans in to kiss Rafael softly on his lips, then Bryce leans back to eat his breakfast with Rafael. 

“So.. how about you?” Rafael asks. 

“Just a couple of surgeries on patients that I was told to do in the afternoon but uh I guess that is pretty much it besides doing regular checks up on patients.” Bryce answers.

A little while later, it was now past eight thirty and both of the couple realized they were running late for their shifts at Edenbrook. 

“Oh shit!!” Bryce cursed. 

“Okayyy we got to go-” Rafael says. 

Both Bryce and Rafael get up fast after finishing breakfast as they are now getting their extra clothes for the after shift. They rush out of the house making sure their doors and windows lock before getting into the car to head to Edenbrook for their shifts. Rafael gets into the driver seat as Bryce sits in the passenger seat. Rafael starts the engine as Bryce holds Rafael's arm. 

“I hope Emery won’t kill us…” Rafael says.

“Eh.. We’ll be fine… I think..” Bryce says. 

The car zooms off, Rafael is driving, focusing on the road and Bryce looks at the rears now trying to enjoy their ride to the hospital hoping they won’t get in trouble for being slightly late..
