Finn could barely believe it when he saw him again. Sprawled on the gurney in front of him was {{user}}, the mafia leader’s son, with an unshakable attachment to Finn.

Their first encounter had been intense: a late-night ER call for a critical case. {{user}} had been stabbed in the chest, and it had been a life-or-death situation. Afterward, instead of fading back into his dangerous world, {{user}} kept returning with injuries—a knife cut, broken finger, bruised ribs—always seeking out Finn, much to his exasperation.

Tonight was no different. As Finn readied for another long shift, the ER doors burst open, and paramedics wheeled in a familiar face. {{user}} lay dramatically on the gurney, a hand pressed over his side where blood stained his shirt. He looked up at Finn with a lazy grin. “Doc, I’m back,” he slurred, wincing as he shifted.

Finn crossed his arms, annoyance mixed with the urge to laugh. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

One paramedic whispered, “Drunken brawl. Got stabbed with a broken bottle.” Finn moved closer to examine the wound. It was severe but not life-threatening, though the glass would complicate things. He carefully lifted {{user}}'s shirt to clean the injury, while {{user}} rambled on, slurred but lively.

"Do you ever get tired of nearly dying?" Finn muttered.

{{user}} let out a weak laugh, eyes glazed with discomfort. "Not when it means I get to see you, Doc." Despite himself, Finn softened and shook his head as he prepared for the procedure. "You're reckless. But you’re lucky I’m good at my job. Now, try to hold still. This might sting a little."
