We all masturbate, it's nothing to be ashamed of. It's also something most prefer to keep private. But sometimes, people forget to knock while we're in the middle of things, and awkwardness ensues.

REACTIONS:
➊ EMBARRASSMENT Yeah, someone just caught you in a very private act and you kind of wish the ground would swallow you up. Now.
➋ ANGER How dare someone barge in on you without knocking! You'll give them a piece of your mind right now.
➌ EXCITEMENT/EXHIBITIONISM happens to be a major turn-on for you, so you'll just continue. Maybe even ask them to give you a hand, you never know...
➍ APATHY Big deal, it's not like they've been living in a bubble where they never knew masturbation existed, and if they were they had to find out about it sometime.
➎ SQUICK Either it was a family member who just walked in on you or you just feel so utterly dirty at having been caught doing something so personal.
➏ DELAYED reaction You didn't even notice they were there until after you finished.
➐ DERAILED REACTION Oh no you've been--what is that on their head? Wait, the world's ending now? D-did you just see that unicorn? Worry about being caught later, figure out what the hell is going on first.
➑ FRUSTRATION COME ON, EVERY TIME!
➒ RELIEF Thank GOODNESS someone came by! Otherwise you'd have had to stop and go grab that toy/pillow/remote for the annoying stereo yourself. Also they could maybe swap discs because this movie isn't really doing it for you. What do you mean it's inappropriate? It's not like you're asking them to watch.
[Her eyes widen, but she immediately goes to get the medicine loaded in a hypospray. She double checks the dosage to make sure it's correct and then returns to McCoy.]
Here, sir. Nitrocefin and Taurolidine.
[Christine hands him the hypospray and waits for further instructions.]
Yeah, I'm glad that we caught this when we did. Thank you, sir.
[Christine wants to add a tease in right now, but she knows better than to say anything within earshot of a patient. And other nurses. This had to be a private...joke.
So she'll just reach out and touch his arm lightly with a smile.]

[Oh good, they're pretending it didn't happen. That and doctoring are his two top talents.
They arrive at Ensign Bates' bedside and McCoy checks his vitals on the screen.]
Hmm. That any different?
no subject
He's down a degree to 100. But he was at 101 an hour ago. His fever isn't breaking as well as it should.
[He knew that, of course, but Christine couldn't help but voice her fears.]
no subject
Shit. Get me one hundred cc's each of nitrocefin and taurolidine. He's showing early signs of infection.
no subject
Here, sir. Nitrocefin and Taurolidine.
[Christine hands him the hypospray and waits for further instructions.]
no subject
[He fires off the hyposprays in rapid succession, pointing without looking at the vitals.]
Any changes, Nurse?
no subject
And finally.]
99.8, sir. [A beat.] 99.6.
no subject
[He sinks back, turning his head to look at the vitals as well, as it finally levels out at 98.6.]
Nipped that right in the damned bud.

no subject
At least he doesn't flinch visibly under her touch.]
I'm going to have a look at Lieutenant Commander Okoro. If anything changes with the ensign, let me know.
no subject
[That's good. She hasn't been able to have that good laugh about the situation yet.]
If you need a hand, just call. I'll check on Sanon to see if there is any change and then I'll start on the paperwork.
[WINK.]
no subject
Christine, you are still literally the worst.]
Of course, Nurse. I'll be. Around.
[:|
And he stalks off.
Dammit.]
no subject
[She grins before heading to check on Sanon. If she couldn't pick on McCoy, what was the point of working with him?
