high achiever don’t you see? baby, nothing comes for free! they say i’m a control freak — driven by a greed to succeed.

@mraclesblssings ( he watches donnie, sighing slowly as his shoulder slump. he doesn’t mean to shit on his parade. donnie’s taking time away as a dad to — speaking of dad — )

my dad hadn’t called me yet. i think he forgot.

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

just had to stand and let a patient hit my arm 24 times. birthday beatings are an interesting loophole *🤨

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

@GoodMohabbits … oh, you remembered that?

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

( pausing, looking in the mirror )

am i a whore.

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

@GoodMohabbits i’m making mateo dunk water on his abs.

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

@CH4SINGFREED0M ( GREAT. he’s so quick to grab it, and hold it out. that type of belly-up submission that he does to superiors. )

here. okay, go ahead.

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

does she know how to fight

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

/ FREAK

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

@CH4SINGFREED0M oh. no, no. it’s broken. they took the whole AC unit out in fact. i just forgot.

there’s cold water you can dunk on yourself?

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

@CH4SINGFREED0M yeah. don’t turn the AC on.

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

@CH4SINGFREED0M okay.

( he probably stares at his abs for a good five seconds before his eyes finally lift )

hey.

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

problems back home. not a big deal.

( he pauses, looking up at her ) you won’t tell anyone in there that i have this, right?

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

( well. she’s definitely insightful. he sighs loudly, looking down at the ash that sheds off the cigarette, and right beside his shoes )

just a weird day. but i guess that’s everyday for all of you.

( he doesn’t take a drag. it feels unprofessional now. ) just, uh. family

[𝒎ohan . @mohanptmc]

and yet .

( gestures at said cig . )

just checking in . people don't usually want one of those so bad unless something was up . unless you let that habit get really bad , which , with your entire college degree and medical schooling , i don't imagine is the case .

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

@mraclesblssings ( he gives a tight smile, looking down at his glove. )

it can be something small. not sure if you need all that effort. i’m happy with just a cake, donnie.

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

@mraclesblssings ( he frowns, idly brushing the hair off of his forehead. )

i like them too, most of the time, probably not this year.

( a faux, sarcastic, but light-hearted gesture of putting a hand over his chest at the ‘you’re spared’. ) wouldn’t have survived without that.

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

you don’t have to. my entire college degree and medical school solidified that.

( the cigarette still sits between fingers anyway. )

did you need something ?

[𝒎ohan . @mohanptmc]

i probably don't have to explain how bad that habit is for you .

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

@mraclesblssings ( his shoulder rise just a bit ) us? to celebrate?

( he realizes how that sounds. he’s shocked donnie would take the time, not that donnie would be his company ) — oh. um. yeah … only if you have time. i’m sure it’d be a long day.

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

sitting out in the ambulance bay, a curl of smoke leaving his cigarette.

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

@mraclesblssings ( he stares at that saddened face, blinking rapidly. he’s not used to … this. )

tomorrow. i have the weekend off.

[JAMES OGILVIE .ᐟ @higherachiever]

@mraclesblssings ( there’s goes his escape. his lips pull into a thin line )

okay. fine. i can get cupcakes on the way home and watch a movie. that’s something.
