"I'm taking care of my own."
Who: Jesse Hartley and Merlin Larson
What: Big Brother Duties
Where: Mount Sinai, NYC
When: Later after this
Jesse was on a long shift, but he set aside his break to come sit with Merlin while he waited for Cassidy to get through surgery. Jesse and Jace hadn't met Cas yet, but Jesse knew Merlin was smitten. He got this goofy little smile when he spoke about her, and everyone was looking forward to meeting her when she had recovered and was up to it. For now, this was the most important day for her. Jesse knew Merlin cared for people so deeply because he had a huge heart. There was nowhere else on the face of the earth he would have been today. But Jesse knew more than most how easily it was to forget about taking care of yourself when you were trying to take care of someone else.
He found Merlin in the surgical waiting room and smiled, holding out a paper bag for him. "Chicken BLAT. I'm on serious orders from Nana Turner to make sure you're fed, and she said this was your favourite. My Nana-in-Law knows your favourite food before I do. I'm slipping, huh?" He took the seat beside Merlin. "Any news yet? Probably still a little too early to know anything yet," he added, checking his nurses watch pinned to his scrubs top.
