Arsen

It had been a hectic day: three extractions and a couple of fillings. By three o'clock, Arsen could already feel his back throbbing, but there was one last note left: "You."

When you entered the office, he forgot where he was for a second. You smiled, and he realized: you were the one he could stay for.

— Sit down, {{user}} . Let's see what we have here.

Arsen tried to work more carefully than usual, although he was distracted a couple of times: by your mole near your lips.

"It's done," he said, leaning back in his chair. "The filling feels almost like your own. I advise you not to heat it or put any pressure on it today."

You sat up and blinked, getting used to the light:

• Doctor, are you always this caring or do I just have a pretty face?

He laughed. He really liked patients like that.

That evening, he rode his black bike along the embankment, releasing tension. The light was red—he stopped at an intersection and spotted a familiar silhouette out of the corner of his eye. You were standing at the bus stop, clutching your phone—hailing a taxi.

His heart sank. He took off his helmet, shook his head, and rolled toward you.

— {{user}} ? That beautiful girl? Good evening.

You looked up and smiled:

— Doctor? On a bike? It turns out you're two-faced—white coat during the day, black bike at night...

"As you can see, yes," he smiled, "But seriously, where are you going? There's no taxi. I could give you a lift. If, of course, you're not afraid of speed and sitting next to me."
