#also fair warning!! i am absolutely clueless about american hospitals

[bast0gne]

i have some thoughts about medical student!gene and paramedic!babe and they're gonna make my brain explode if i don't share them

bill and babe taking shifts together. bill makes babe drive cause he's "older" (their birthdays are two weeks apart but babe likes to indulge him).

babe has the biggest crush on gene. babe also has a very specific way of flirting which sometimes ends with him stumbling over his own words. bill still cheers him on ithis includes some horribly obvious thumbs up.

gene just quit smoking. that's why babe frantically stubs out his cigarettes whenever he spots gene on his break.

lip as the charge nurse google said it's the correct term. no one dares to f*ck with him. that man is running a tight ship and he will hold you accountable for f*cking up. he's also immensely likable, so no one dares to upset him. plus. he's dating the scary neurosurgeon who is going to yell at you for making lip upset.

gene accidentally injuring babe (like he did in bastogne) and then patching up his hand. meanwhile babe's praying that gene doesn't catch on to how fast his heart is beating.

gene offering babe chocolate after a rough day. babe draping a blanket over gene when he catches him sleeping in the staff room.

babe inviting gene to a party. them having a quiet moment alone on the balcony. gene's drenched in the soft yellow lights of the fairy lights above them and babe wonders how anyone could not be in love with this beautiful, beautiful man in front of him (inspired by this song).

gene's car breaking down one day. babe offering to drive him home cause "he kinda drives people around for a living anyway." it becomes a regular thing.

gene and his grandma. gene telling babe about the times he's spent with her. gene telling babe about the guilt he feels because he couldn't save her.

gene playing a part in saving a patient with the same medical condition as his grandma's. babe being there to support him cause he's well aware of the impact this whole situation has on gene.

all the elderly patients loving gene. also, all the elderly patients knowing that gene is crushing on babe as well and trying to give him pointers. if it worked well in their day, it should still work well, right?

gene and renée and spina living together and being besties. idk i just love whenever that happens in a fic.

babe being very interested in the french language after hearing gene speak in french.

bonus because it fits into the universe: fire captain!dick and bartender!nix. nix's attempts at cooking lead to them seeing each other at least once a week. dick wonders why nix isn't just asking him out like a normal person.

#baberoe #babe heffron #eugene roe #i might add to this later #but feel free to add to this too!! #also fair warning!! i am absolutely clueless about american hospitals #but i like to put these two into different kinds of situations #all of this has been a collaborative effort with my bestie who i keep bothering with baberoe #but also.......i really just love to think of gene as the doctor who really cares for elderly patients and just vibes with them idk #he would love them and they would love him #tag: text post
