Dude,,, Gears realizing that he really likes the little colorful seam in his coat and complimenting Julian’s skills, then asking if he could possibly sew a few more colorful bits? Julian shrugs and says he’s always wanted to try embroidery, and he starts embroidering little lavender flowers into his coat. It’s a bit sloppy, being his first time doing embroidery, but Gears is enamored with it and compliments his skills, running his finger over the little bumps.

Julian smiles and says “you’re very pretty,” and Gears flushes.

“I, Uh. I meant the— the embroidery is pretty.”

“…i assumed so. If you ever want to practice your embroidery, doctor, feel free to take my coat.”

The next day, Charles finds his coat missing. Three days later, it’s returned with an embroidery of a snake. Charles asks him what it is, and Julian says it’s an ouroboros. When he asks why he chose that design, Julian responds;

“This guy was trying to figure out the chemical structure of benzene, and when he fell asleep, he saw a snake eating it’s own tail, and that inspired him to try to figure out the shape, a ring of carbon surrounded by hydrogen atoms. It’s… kind of what got me interested in chemistry, you know? That, and, uh, the Reanimator. The ourboros is, uh. It’s kind of like life, honestly. Just when you think you’re getting to the good part, it’s just more tail in your mouth.”

Charles glanced over to the pile of papers on Julian’s desk, all of them from other doctors.

“I’m sorry, Dr. Finn. You’re a smart man. If I can be frank; your talent is being wasted as my assistant. I wish they would show you the respect you deserve.”

Julian blinks, eyes wide and stunned. His face is bright red.

“…thank you, doctor,” he whispers. Gears nods, and gets back to work.

The next day, his coat is missing again. Six days later, there’s a garden of flowers lining the hem of the sleeves, where it once would’ve been plain. Gears studies it for hours, each loop of embroidery thread coming together to form a perfect scene. Julian wears a bandage on his thumb, probably from the needle, but it does nothing to detract from the beauty.

When he puts on the coat, it almost looks like his hands belong among such beautiful things.
