“In summary, I really need to see you right now, so I’m standing outside the break room.”
Ann promptly chokes on her dinner and ends the call. Sure enough, “Leslie, who let you back here?”
“And the best greeting award does not go to Ann Perkins, despite how really, really good you look right now–”
(She wouldn’t be Leslie if she didn’t keep mumbling into the kiss.)
“–and for putting up with me for interrupting your very special break time.”
“I forgive you, Les.” Ann shakes her head, smiling. “It’s okay.”
“Okay, but–” Leslie dashes around the corner, and Ann (as usual), follows. There’s a harsh squeak as Leslie hops on to a (thankfully unoccupied) hospital bed and throws her head back dramatically. “I am in desperate need of your help, Nurse Perkins!”
Ann swallows, feels the heat rising in her cheeks. “You know we can’t, not here.”
“Please, Ann. Please, please, just take my temperature.”
So she does, a little uncertain as to where this (much like anything where Leslie is involved) is going. Leslie gives her a serious look, keeping the thermometer tight between her lips. Ann smiles at her, can’t help it, and to her credit only jumps a little when she feels a cool hand against her stomach, under the scrubs. They don’t move for a long moment, a tableau of nurse and patient, skewed.
The thermometer beeps. “Well, no fever. Do you think you’ll live, Ms. Knope?”
“I’m sure of it.”
