Matteo De Luca

If YOU make a mistake about something

It depends on how serious it is.

Because Matteo keeps the professional and the emotional very separate... or at least he tries to.

—

If it's a small mistake

He corrects you immediately.

Serious. Straight. But without humiliating yourself.

Guy: “Don’t do it like that again.” “Look at it again.” “Focus.”

Because he knows you're good and has high expectations of you.

—

It is a serious mistake

That's it... ufff.

He doesn't yell at you in front of everyone. I would never do that to you.

But it gets FREEZING.

And that hurts more.

Because disappointing him feels awful.

—

After

When they are alone…

That's where all the tension comes out.

Because he is:

scared frustrated *worried about you

• and furious with himself too

Then I'd probably say something like:

“What were you thinking?” "That could have cost you your career." “Or worse.”

And although it sounds harsh… His eyes are filled with fear, not hatred.

Because the idea of ​​something happening to you drives him crazy.

—

And if the error ends up affecting a patient…

That's what breaks them.

You probably break down emotionally. And Matteo becomes a dangerous mix of:

*rational surgeon

• man in love And a terrified person. But even if he's disappointed or furious… He doesn't abandon you. Never. He stays with you through everything: investigations. horrible nights guilt anxiety consequences

How he fights

*It gets cold first

• Sharp *Too serious
• Jaw clenched He answers curtly. He avoids looking at you because he knows that if he looks at you, he might give in.

And you KNOW exactly how to make him lose his patience.

Then he reaches a point where:

raises his voice, runs his hand through his hair in frustration He starts pacing and drops things he normally keeps to himself.

Guy:

"Do you know what the worst part is?" "You matter to me so much that I don't even think straight when you're involved."

EITHER:

“You’re distracting me.” "And in this job, getting distracted kills people."

If they lose a patient

That destroys them both.

Especially because you are among those doctors/nurses who do get emotionally involved even if you try not to.

And Matteo… God.

He carries every death on his shoulders. How does he react?

During the moment:

He remains professional and continues giving orders. He tries until the very last second to save him. But when there's nothing more to be done… The silence. That horrible hospital silence after the “time of death.” And he simply: slowly takes off his gloves *avoid looking at everyone

• clench your jaw He blames himself even if it wasn't anyone's fault because he feels he could ALWAYS have done more. With you after that: If he notices you're upset, he automatically stops thinking about himself. He finds you alone: ​​in the bathroom *in the break room
• or sitting staring into space

And even though he is also broken… It goes with you.

Without saying much.

Only:

It gives you water and wipes away your tears if you cry. He hugs you tightly, letting you hide your face in his neck.

And I would whisper to you:

“You did everything right.” “It wasn’t your fault.”

Even though he himself may not be able to believe it about himself.

And the worst part: She does smile when you're with her.

Not much. But those small, tired smiles make the whole hospital melt.

—

Dynamics between you

You guys are literally the dangerous couple in the hospital.

Guy: He gives orders, You already understood before I finished speaking.

"Clamp." And you already have it in your hand.

"Need-" “It’s ready, doctor.”

The tension between you is SO obvious that:

The nurses gossip; the inmates are afraid of them together. *And the patients think they're married.

⸻

What attracts him most about you

It's not just that you're beautiful.

It's that you're competent.

That KILLS HIM.

Seeing you:

• calm in ER *intelligent
• concentrated *safe
• saving lives alongside him

He finds it absurdly attractive.

Because Matteo hates incompetence. But with you, he feels he's finally found someone on his level. When he starts to fall in love

It becomes more:

*protector

• looking out for you *Emotionally territorial

Type: If you haven't eaten for too many hours, he shows up with coffee. If you cut yourself, he'll treat you. If another doctor flirts with you, he automatically gets cold.

And even though he tries to act normal… EVERYONE notices the difference.

Because with you his voice changes. His gaze changes. Even the way he says your name changes 😭

⸻

In private with you

That's when that cold image completely breaks down.

With you:

• he relaxes more *speaks more softly
• he hugs you as if he were exhausted from the world He sleeps better when you're on his chest and becomes intensely affectionate even if he won't admit it.

Habits

He survives on black coffee. He sleeps very little. He loosens his tie after long surgeries. He stays working more hours than necessary. He rubs the bridge of his nose when he's stressed. He keeps his emotions under lock and key.

—

In love

She doesn't fall in love easily. When she loves, she loves intensely. Protective and extremely attentive. Silently jealous. He has trouble expressing feelings with words, so he shows love with actions. He becomes obsessed with the well-being of the person he loves.

Type of man who:

*remember how you take your coffee

• checks a wound too gently He looks at you as if you were the only soft thing in his chaotic life. In private, he is dominant but careful. Lots of self-control… until he loses it. A low, dangerous voice in the ear. He likes to be in control of the situation. Very physical and passionate Strong; can easily lift or immobilize you effortlessly. Intensely attentive to his partner's reactions.

He has that serious man's energy that in private becomes much more intense than anyone would imagine.

Typical phrases

“Look at me. Stay with me.” “Don’t argue with me now.” “Have you eaten yet?” “If you’re going to faint, at least do it near me.” “Trust me.” “I don’t like to repeat things.” *“I took care of you all day and you still manage to worry me.” How is he with you?

At first:

• professional distant serious *trying to treat you the same as everyone else

But literally can't.

Because you are:

• brilliant Quick under pressure; excellent nurse beautiful on top of that , and the only person capable of keeping up with her in the ER.

Then he starts noticing you too much.

—

Little things he does with you

She automatically looks for you when she enters the ER. She trusts you more than any other nurse. He lets you assist him in difficult surgeries. He always wants you to be on HIS team. He gets calmer when you're around.
