[Today was just any other day at the hospital. The only difference compared to most days was that Molly was running a bit late due to traffic. Despite the slow start, she was willing to pick up the pace and get to work as quickly as she could. At the moment, there had been a body found in a building. Even before looking at the corpse, Molly had a feeling that this was probably something Sherlock and Watson would look into. The idea of finding a body in an old factory sounds like something he would be interested in.

Of course, it would mean that Sherlock would visit her sometime in the future. With a mumble, she pushed those thoughts out of her mind. She shouldn't be thinking about those things right now, she was already late for work and she needed to get things done! However...she wouldn't mind seeing him just once today...

...Wait, she can't possibly be excited to see dead bodies just for Sherlock's sake! Once more, she tried to shake those thoughts before entering the building.

Before she got started, she couldn't help but let out a small sigh. It looks like the traffic was making everything slower at the hospital too. While there was plenty of sick people, it was still early morning. It would not take long for many others to show up. As she greeted her coworkers, she quickly went to her workplace to get started.

...Of course, not without having a cup of coffee.]

[ Well, it had finally happened.

After such a long time of Seto being, well, Seto, it was inevitable that he would pass out at work from exhaustion. It was a bit of a scare, and his boss had rushed him to the hospital. He was okay, but they were keeping him here overnight to make completely sure of that, and demanding that he rest up at home for a few days before returning to work.

This, naturally, had made Seto very pouty. He had already talked to Kido and informed her of what was up, and while his friends were relieved to hear that it was nothing too serious, he knew they would miss him tonight. And he would miss them, too.

This also made him restless. He knew he shouldn't have been out of bed, but here he was, wandering around the hospital like it was no big deal. As such, he came across a few of the staff, who rose eyebrows at him, but otherwise didn't seem to mind that he was wandering.

He stopped outside of a door, peering inside of it.

Oooh, coffee. He was partial to ~~Mary's~~ tea, but coffee every so often wasn't bad ... ]

Is that good coffee?

[ Here, have a random patient. ]

[So far, the day was going by as she expected it would be. Her co-workers were too busy to bother to talk to her. Then again, she wasn't too surprised given that they were in the hospital right now. At least she was happy to hear a small "Hi, how are you?" in passing. As she made her way to her office, she smiled to herself as she poured herself a cup of coffee.

How nice, she thought, she'll be able to relax for a little bit before the day started.

Of course, just before she could even take a sip, she couldn't help but feel like something was wrong. Goodness, her day just started! What else was wrong? Her thoughts were answered when she heard a voice coming from the door. It was a good thing she had a good grip on her coffee or else it would have spilled everywhere.]

A-Ah...yes, it is. I had it for quite sometime, I think you should try it yourself when you have the time.

[...]

Excuse me but...are you a patient here?

[ He smiles and laughs a little, sheepishly. ]

Unfortunately. I passed out at work. It was kind of embarrassing ...

[ He scratches the back of his head. ]

I usually drink tea. A really good friend of mine makes tea like a professional. Coffee is nice sometimes, though, especially when I haven't gotten a lot of sleep.

[ He wouldn't be sleeping well tonight, really. He was so used to having Mary in his bed that it was hard to sleep without her there. ]

[Molly was still a little surprised by his sudden appearance but she smiled right back at him.]

It's not a problem, at least you're getting better right?

[Or she certainly hoped so! She wouldn't want him to pass out randomly here in the hospital!]

But that wouldn't be a good idea, would it? However, I must ask...shouldn't you be back in your room where other doctors might be wondering where you are?

[And you know, not panic?]

[ He nods. He's optimistic about that! ]

I sure hope so! I've got people who are really missing me at home right now.

[ And he sure misses them, too. ]

Eh ... it's so boring, staying in bed like that. I just passed out, they've already determined there's really no reason for it other than exhaustion. I've already gotten some sleep ...

[As Molly listened to him, she couldn't help but sigh a bit.]

But I still think that it would be better if you went back to your room, I don't think you should make your exhaustion any worse!

[And this is coming from someone who has worked with a ton of dead bodies here!]

Or what if your friends might be looking for you?

They're not here right now. I called them and they'll be by tomorrow to come get me once I'm discharged.

[ As much as he wants to see them, it's probably better that ~~Mary~~ everybody doesn't see him in his state. ]

I'm really feeling better now. Really!

I'm not so sure about that, I just don't want you to get exhaustion again. And especially if you were admitted into the hospital for that!

[Sorry, Molly just doesn't want you or her to get into any trouble!]

If you want, I can take you back to your room? Would that be better?

[ Fiiine, fine, if she insisted ... Seto sighed, then nodded. ]

Sure, okay. I guess that'd be okay.

[Sorry, Seto, Molly just wants to see you safe!]

Good. I think that once you rest up again, you'll be feeling much better than before!

[Or at least, she hopes so]

So um, where is your room again?

[ Ffff. Well, Seto can't expect her to know that. He steps aside to let her out her door and points in the direction he came from. ]

It's this way.

[Meanwhile, Molly couldn't help but sigh a bit as she walked outside. So much for having a quiet rest of the day]

Then should we go? [She said as she pointed to the left] Hopefully it shouldn't take too long!

I can walk back there myself, you know. I'm sure you've got better things to do than to escort me back to my hospital room and all.

[ Though would he actually go to his room if she didn't? ]

I would much rather that I go back with you. Just in case if anything should happen?

[And you know, not wandering around a bit]

[ But staying in bed is so boooooring ... ]

Okay, if it's not too much trouble.

[No buts!]

I don't think it is, your health is more important! Besides, why would you think it's trouble?

Well ... ah, I'm sure you've got a lot of things to do. You work here, right?

[ but he has a nice butt ... ]

Yes but l'm also not going to leave a patient behind without a doctor to look after them. I work in the morgue and I know other people would do the same regardless! Wouldn't your friends do the same?

[Booty booty booty rocking everywh- okay no]

Eh ... well, if my friends knew, they wouldn't be surprised that I was up and out of bed. With me landing myself here, though, Danch-- err, Kido would probably order me to go to bed and stay there, Kano would laugh until he fell over, and Mary-chan would make puppy dog eyes at me until I gave in and just stayed in bed.

[ There's a sheepish scratching of the cheek, there. His friends were not forces to be reckoned with ... ]

[Meanwhile, Molly couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Well, his friends were certainly a bit...interesting]

Well, I can say that some of your friends has the right idea of making you stay in bed. I would question their methods though...

Especially the one who would laugh at you. That's not a cert nice way to take care of a friend.

[ But they are his friends. No, his family. They're interesting, but he loves them all. ~~And maybe loves one of them a bit more than he lets on.~~ ]

Ah, but that's just how Kano is! He's been like that for as long as I've known him! And we go back a really long ways, so ...

[Of course, Molly has no idea what his relationship was like with the others. Instead, she still couldn't help but keep that eyebrow up]

May I ask how so? It still seems rude to laugh at someone like that.

[Aka being picked on by a la Sherlock]

Ah, well ... He and Kido and I were in the same Orphanage.

[ He won't go into a lot of detail about how they bonded, though ... He was already in the hospital, the last thing he needed was someone calling he and his family 'monsters' because of their abilities. ]

[She didn't say anything about that. She never grew up in an orphanage so what could she say? Still, she smiled at Seto]

I see, I suppose it's just one of those odd friendships?

[Where you can pick on one another and be comfortable with it. Well, wasn't she a bit jealous?]

I guess so! I wouldn't trade it for the world, though.

[ He really loves his family. They're all very precious to him. ]

[Yup, there was a part of Molly that really was jealous. Oh well, there wasn't much she could do about that. Instead, she just sighed before walking further down.]

Then I guess I don't have anything I can really say about that, can I? I just hope that all of you will be able to spend all your time together...

[However, she was mumbling a bit]

[ He caught that, Molly. Little charmer boy to the rescue! ~~But he's not so little.~~ ]

Is everything okay?

[Too bad Seto, all Molly could do is shake her head a bit!]

Ah, yes, I'm fine. I was just thinking a little bit about how my other friends were doing, it's been a while since I last saw them with this job and all.

I wonder if they're okay.

... I can understand that, actually. I work too, to help make my family's life a bit more comfortable.

That's where I was when I passed out, actually.

[ He laughs a little. ]

And yet, even though I've worked myself into the hospital apparently, all I can think of is just how much of a deduction I'll get from my paycheck, and how we're going to have to plan around that ... I mean, Mary-chan brings in a small amount of income, but the bulk of it is definitely from my jobs.

[ He really loves them and wants the best for them ;w; ]
