"He sure is hot. You can really pick them Mari."

Embarrassed by her best-friend´s and co-worker's comment, Marinette buried her face in her paperwork.

"Why do I always crush on a doctor? Why can´t I crush on a nurse?"

Since Marinette began working at the hospital, Marinette´s list of silly little innocent crushes on doctors' hadn´t stopped, but her crushes always faded away rapidly with time, or when the doctor was treating her like a kid or some sort of inferior being.

"You know your crushes fade away nearly every time after two days, right? So don´t worry, just go with it."

"Alya! This time it´s different!"

"Mari, you say that every time."

"Now I´m a 100% sure."

Alya groaned and turned over to see her distressed friend. Placing her hands on her shoulders, she looked her into the eyes.

"Mari. Stop freaking out. It´s just a new doctor, in two days, like always we will change to another subject."

"No! I´m telling you, I have a serious crush, and my best friend isn´t taking me seriously. But I can´t hold it against you, because I know how I sound right now and I get why you don´t understand, but this is SERIOUS!", whisper-yelled Marinette. Alya just sighed, getting back to her own paperwork.

Marinette didn´t let her, but turned around Alya´s desk chair.

"Alya, you have to help me, I don´t know what I´m going to do if…"

She was suddenly interrupted by a heavenly voice.

"Good morning. How are you doing?"

Both friends slowly turned her heads in order to see the intruder more clearly. Marinette immediately blushed and tried to respond, but no sound came out. The new doctor slightly cocked his to the side. Alya responded for both of them, but seeing her friend might burst, she took one of the charts, threw it in her friends´ hands, she got the message and left with an awkward walk. After getting in the patient´s room, she let out a deep sight and a small whine of pure embarrassment. Thankfully the patient didn´t hear her and she started checking his vitals.

After having left the patient, she discreetly deposited the chart and nearly ran to the nurses´ locker room. There was Alya, waiting for her. Marinette ran up to her and threw her arms around her.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you…" Alya patted her back, realising her.

"What was I supposed to do, he was starting to think you needed respiratory help." Marinette banged her head on the nearest locker.

"Did he say anything?"

"No, we only small-talked about the hospital."

"You small-talked? You´re so lucky!" Alya patted her friend´s shoulder.

"Hey, in two days you can talk to him too."

"Like I told you multiple times Alya, it´s different this time."

"Maybe, maybe not. Wait it out"

"I´ve never, NEVER reacted like that in front of any of my crushes before! I´m telling you, this crush will ruin my life!"

"That´s true, I´ve never seen you act like that… It´s like your brain stopped functioning."

"That´s exactly what it is. Oh! What am I going to do. You have to help me out Alya! Please help me!"

"I´ll help you, but you have to know that we won´t always have the same shifts. You know that you might have to be with him… on your own. We can´t choose our shifts."

Marinette had a panicked look on her face.

"I´ll simply run away… right?" She looked like a helpless kitten.

"Marinette, you can´t do, you´re at work. Be professional."

"How? Have you looked at him correctly? I can´t look at him without drooling or making a fool out of myself."

"You only interacted with him once…"

Marinette smiled nervously. Alya cocked her head to the side, a few seconds followed and Alya gasped.

"You already interacted with him? And you didn´t tell me?" Marinette sat down on of the benches and buried her face in her hands.

"I´m sorry, I was under my crush-shock afterwards, which I still have by the way."

"That must be one hell of a crush-shock. Spit it out now."

Marinette sighed deeply.

Hey everyone!

I just have to set things clear, that I don´t want you to think I wanted to spread the stereotype of men having to be the/ being the doctors and women having to be/ being the nurses. I just thought of this story and went with it, I could be the other way around, I totally agree!

So don´t be angry, choose to study what makes you happy! Don´t be afraid of science girls! (It is a well-know fact that many girls don´t choose science because they think it´s not their place to study science. (We´re in the 21th century, don´t be afraid.)) :D
