Euan!
It was remarkable how comfortable a rickety, twin-sized bed could be when you were with someone you cared about. Rebecca didn't mind squeezing onto the mattress in the on-call room, she had no qualms about pressing close to Euan. Her arm lazily laid across his chest and she wondered if there was any chance in the world that neither of them would be called to tend to a patient. Of course, Rebecca knew that with every passing minute of the day another fool got it into himself to attempt to perform some cosmetic magic to himself or--found themselves impaled by a unicorn or some other exotic creature. Her hopes weren't high, but Rebecca was finding herself more optimistic than ever before; maybe fate would give them just a few more minutes before the rush of the hospital forced them apart.

Oh, she was day dreaming again. Rebecca pushed closer to Euan, enjoying his slight grip around her and she tilted her head up to kiss his chin. Never had she been so infatuated with a boy, and Merlin help her if she could explain why. Euan was honestly the most aggravating person she'd ever met, but Rebecca found some strange...sense within all of it. She knew she wasn't particularly easy to deal with, and the fact that he was willing (more than willing, really) to deal with her was quite a lovely change indeed.

Plus, her mother simply adored him.

Rebecca kissed him again, wondering just how they should use up their more-than-likely last minutes of quiet.

It wasn't that he hadn't brought his blood status up to Rebecca because he was sure it was going to be a problem. Quite the contrary, actually. He hadn't brought it up because he was fairly sure that she didn't care - as healers they were meant to be objective in everything they did and Merlin knew that anyone who worked at St. Mungos knew that whatever blood status you had you were the same physiologically.

He managed a light smile and wrapped his arms around Rebecca's shoulders a bit more tightly. "Don't fall asleep now, Rebecca." Because he knew that the moment they started to relax in the on-call bed they were interrupted by someone who had done something idiotic. Euan yawned a little despite himself and stretched out his long arms over his head. Yes, it was nice to have a girl with whom he could speak to without having her accept his opinion without question. She challenged him, and he liked that.

She couldn't help the slight giggle at his words. Sleep? Oh, she wasn't planning to sleep. Rebecca shifted to her stomach and dipped her chin to stare at Euan. Another thing she had never experienced with a boyfriend before was the desire to snog. All the time. Of course she'd kissed boys, but Rebecca was nearly embarrassed with how quickly she took advantage of empty rooms. Or broom closets. Or supply rooms. Or on-call rooms.

"You should take your own advice sometimes, Healer Pamplemoss," she murmured, eyebrows going high. Rebecca let her hand move up Euan's chest to rest at his shoulder. "Though I'm sure we could find something that would keep you awake and quite alert."

She would have to scourgify her mouth when she got home tonight, she had a very strong feeling.

"Oh, is that so? Well, if you think you can figure something else out..."

He trailed off as she shifted onto her stomach and dropped to stare at him, trying not to blush under the gaze. All right, it wasn't like a girl hadn't looked at him like that once or twice but ... it wasn't the same when you were sure the girl wasn't just trying to scam you out of your Divination homework. Euan brought his hand down to stroke across her exposed arm, pleased with himself for not having his pager go off (little did he know that he'd left it in his office and an intern was on their way).

He leaned in and pecked a kiss onto her lips, sure that she would be eager to follow into a more intense snogging session with a little coaxing.

"I am a very good problem solver."

There were times when Rebecca refused to fall for little tricks and things like that, but it was perfectly all right when she was doing the initiating. Rebecca dipped forward and deepened the kiss, glad to be in a comfortable position to do so. This was a position they'd found themselves in often---not that! They had not had sex, but seeing that the on-call room was the easiest place to find some peace and quiet it---Rebecca pushed her mental fluster away and focused on the more important matters at hand.

Like snogging the life out of her boyfriend. Oh, it still felt so very good to think, and while Rebecca managed to keep a very composed position on the whole matter, in her mind and behind shut doors she couldn't help but fantasize about the loveliness it was to have a boyfriend. She was a very hard headed girl, but she supposed love made her absolutely loopy.

Love! Well. She did not know if she was there yet, but it was something to that affect that made her want to snog this man at every opportunity.

"Yes, you really are." And for once he didn't mean that in the way he usually did with girls - she was a good problem solver when it came to work and to personal things.

And no, they hadn't had sex but Euan was just fine with that - there was no reason to rush into anything when she was very young and she had other things to worry about than whether her hymen was still intact or not. Hell, she was becoming a healer and he remembered exactly how stressful that had been for him. He settled back more comfortably and drew her up against his chest a little more tightly, intent on focusing for now on the snogging.

Hmm, it was a good thing they were both perfectionists, because their snogging had quickly gone from nervous and awkward to downright brilliant. Rebecca would definitely hold her tongue if any of her friends asked anything about their personal time together...of course, until they prodded her enough, that is. But she was sure that she and Euan had a thing to be jealous of.

In the midst of their perfect snogging, Rebecca ended up underneath Euan, and she found herself so enthralled with him that she did not hear the door of the on-call room open, or the slight gasp or the--giggle that escaped a fellow intern. She would have if they weren't so good at snogging, she was sure, and Rebecca would be highly horrified when she realized what had happened, but--instead she just arched into Euan with a pleasant-sounding moan escaping her throat.

Unfortunately for Euan, the on-call bed had its head facing the door of the on-call room (possibly it had been moved this way by someone else who'd found themselves in this sort of situation and hadn't wanted to be caught in the act so blatantly again). He had a perfect view of the door opening, and even in the midst of their excellent snogging he had enough sense to widen his eyes and try to discreetly slip off of Rebecca and cough loudly, straightening his tie.

There really wasn't anything he could say to refute what was probably going to come out of the intern's mouth - was she interrupting something? - but he wasn't going to leave. So instead he merely sat up on the bed awkwardly, hands clasped in front of him.

He was trying very hard not to blush.

"Ooh my---"

Rebecca twisted so quickly around that she may have pulled a muscle. Her mouth dropped into a horrified gasp at the sight of her fellow intern and with a flash she was behind Euan, using the pillow to smash and hopefully hide her face. Of course it was too late, of course they'd seen her and oh God! Now she was going to be labeled as the Tarty-Intern-Who-Maybe-Slept-with-her-Mentees-in-the On-Cal-Room. They would call her a much better nickname than that, but her embarrassment did not allow for creativity at the moment.

Even though she'd heard some mumbling and the door shut, Rebecca kept her face hidden in the pillow, feeling that if she pulled away she would burst into tears from the shock and shame of getting caught. Oh, God, how had she been so happy a moment ago and now completely and utterly miserable?

Technically, technically this was not illegal, it was merely frowned upon and technically he wasn't her mentor anymore, so there was no conflict of interest at all. He brought his hand behind his back to take Rebecca's awkwardly, twining his fingers in hers tightly if he could manage it without actually being able to make eye contact with her.

He managed a forced smile to the intern. "Did you need something from me?" He honestly hadn't left his pager in the other room on purpose. Maybe subconsciously he had, but not on purpose. He would never be so irresponsible.

Something about Rebecca just made him forget about practicality sometimes.

"Errr---your pager's been going off like mad!"

Rebecca wanted to take the pager (that she felt being tossed to the bed) and jam it down the girl's throat, but instead remained a chicken hiding behind Euan and her pillow. It would probably be soaked with the tears she'd failed in stopping, oh, she was so bloody pathetic. It was honestly not her fault that she'd been raised as a proper young woman and such acts of affection were supposed to be dirty and wrong and----oh God, this man had caused her to toss away all her morals! Every last lesson she'd ever been taught seemed to slip away when in close proximity with Euan!

She sniffled greatly as his hand grabbed hers. Rebecca managed to pull her face from the pillow to take a breath and look at their hands and she leaned into Euan's back to attempt to find some more comfort from him.

At least he didn't seem to think she was a tart or something. That would be the worst thing to come from all of this, she felt.

It was probably for the best that she was crying into the pillow and not onto the ... back of his shirt or something horrible like that, to be honest. He watched the girl drop down the pager and then glanced down at it himself, shaking his head and smoothly sliding the pager into his pocket.

"Yes, well, since you have apparently been rifling through my things, would you care to fill me in on exactly what people have been incessantly paging me for?" And it had better have been important. He gave Rebecca's hand a squeeze and then tried to push himself to his feet slowly, hoping he wouldn't ... erm, jostle her too much whilst she was in her fragile state.

Rebecca shifted off of her knees to sit on the bed, slowly dropping the pillow to her lap. There was no point in keeping her face hidden, unless she wanted to ruin her makeup even further. From this position on the bed, the other intern couldn't even see her, so there was no reason to hide any more. She felt like hiding, yes, but there wasn't any more chance of embarrassment.

She smirked greatly as Euan quickly scolded the girl, and listened in carefully, "Something about a newly turned werewolf needed an emergency session!" the girl squeaked.

Ooh. That was a good one. Rebecca watched the girl leave and she knew Euan had to leave now, but she remained meakly seated, not ready to step out from the protective shadows of the bunk bed above her head. Maybe if she just stayed here no one could ever ask her if what they'd heard was true.

~~Fuuuuuuuuuu-~~

Well, that was certainly a reason for him to have to leave. He didn't think he had to explain that much to Rebecca, but he knew that she was still upset and that he had to fix it, albeit quickly. He leaned in and pressed a kiss to her lips before he started to smooth down her hair.

"We can grab a late dinner when I get off work, all right?" Usually he reserved his evenings for relaxing, especially when he knew he'd have a late day (which apparently he would today) but she probably needed to be reassured about the status of their relationship, right?

Right. He smoothed out his own robes and then cast a glance to the door, leaning in to kiss her once more before he headed hurriedly down the hallway.
