Nurse Red Heart's first love

>She stares at you with those penetrating blue eyes
>You can tell that she you don't like her, at all
>Especially when you're in her territory, the hospital
>You just came to see Rainbow Dash, she broke her wing by practicing
>Again
>But when you saw her for the first time
>Something catch you inmediatly about her
>Maybe it was that hate she spreads against you
>But it can't be something from one day
>It feels so intense, so passionate
>You want to see her more
>And then, while you're lost in your thoughts, she finally speaks to you
>"Don't you dare approach to the foals, human"
>Oh my god
>She hates you so much
>That only makes you want to have her, right now
>Later that day, you were at home
>Dash was fine, with her books of Daring Do she would recover in no time
>You on the other side
>Only thing you could think of was the nurse
>That nurse, what was so special about her?
>Maybe you were one of those weird guys who are attracted to women who rejects them
>Ugh, no that's impossible
>But then...
>There must be something about her
>Something that makes her unique
>She's...so beautiful
>She likes discipline
>She's so organized
>You almost got a boner watching how she yelled to a filly because she was making too noise
>You love her passion for her work, her dedication
>If only you could speak to her
>Just once
>But she is so reluctant to talk
>She obviously hates humans, then what do?
>You could try the next day
>You have to bring RD her wonderbolt equipment
>Don't waste your chance, Anonymous
>The next day I went to Roseluck to buy some daisies. I hope she likes it
>Oh yeah, and also rainbow stuff
>You were early in the morning hoping she would be so busy
>You were wrong
>It was vaccination day, and of course, Red Heart was in charge of vaccines
>If you wait until she was free, you'll never gonna speak to her
>So better take her by surprise in any of her turns, right?
>You gently tap head
>She feels so soft
"Excuse, Ms Red Heart?"
>"Yes, what can I do fo-"
>You smile hoping to hide your embarrassment
>"Oh, it's you"
"Yes, it's me, he...he..."
>This didn't start pretty well"
>"What do you want?"
"Oh, well. I was just, you know, I though we could talk and, you know..."
>"If you haven't noticed, I'm in the middle of something here. I don't have time for your 'conversations'..."
"It's ok, it's ok. I was just asking. Oh also I got you some flowers"
>"Oh, how original. Flowers. Just the thing I want most in the world. Thanks Celestia, yes. Flowers"
"I though they were pretty so wanted to give it to you"
>"Just let me work ok? I'm too busy."
>It wasn't a good first try
>But you can't give up just now
>You have nothing to lose and so much to win
>Now question is: what is the best way to catch a nurse's attention
>The most logical answer will be as a patient
>But what would be the less painful method
>A cold? Not to severe
>A broken arm? I'm too much of a coward to do that
>What do....
>...
>Next thing you know is that you are in the hospital, as a patient, with a casted leg
>You don't really remember what happened
>But things look promising, because you see your favorite nurse coming into your room
>"I can't believe you broke your leg just to see me. That's just pathetic"
"That's not what happened. I got distracted and fell off. I don't remember very well tho"
>"Hmf. Your report says someone found you lying down on a ravine. It looks like you were passed out for like an hour. What were you even doing?"
"Sometimes a man just need time for himself, you know...Thinking about life and stuff"
>"Whatever...I gotta go. Call me if you need anything"
"Nurse"
>"...Yes?"
"What is your favorite food?"
>"Are you serious?"
"I really need to know"
>"...I can't believe...I like sandwiches"
"Sandwiches?"
>"Yes, you can prepare them fast and eat them fast, so it gives you more time to do your job"
"Oh, see. Thanks"
>And that was the routine
>Each time she visited me to check my leg, I asked one or two questions about her life, her likes, her dislikes, her family
>And she answered everyone of them, which is amazing because sometimes the questions could be a little 'out of tone'
"How many times a month do you feel in heat?"
>"Like three or four, but just only one week a month. It's not what stallions usually think. If a mare is centered enough like me, heat means nothing. Sex is not priority in my life."
>Anyways, sooner or later my leg would be healed. And when that day came, I felt kinda sad
>I liked the way Red Heart has taken care of me
>But now is when you ask her for a date
>You've been knowing everything about her
>Like how she doesn't like fancy restaurants
>Or how she usually can't sleep at nights, so she just stares at the sky and counts the stars
>You can not fail
>She's just filling some papers, you can talk to her now
>No problem
"Hello nurse"
>"Oh hello Anonymous, looks like your leg is fine. Good"
"Oh, yeah. Thanks to you"
>"Yeah, sure."
"No, really. Without you visiting me everyday, I'd still be in that cold hospital room."
>"Whatever you say"
"So I was thinking, now that I'm all good, maybe, just maybe, we can go eat something, someday"
>"*Sigh* Anon, we've talked about this. I am too busy."
"Oh please, you don't work all the time, do you?"
>"No but..."
"But...?"
>"It's just..."
"What?"
>"You're not my type, ok?"
"Oh"
>"Sorry, but you're leaving me no choice."
"No, it's ok. I was just being blind, you know."
>"Anon..."
"Anyway, thanks for everything"

>...

>Three days have gone since Anonymous left
>Or Anon, like he prefers
>It is a relief for me, I was so tired of his constant seek of attention
>Although I understand he was just trying to catch my attention
>I tried to explain him I'm not interested in a relationship at the moment
>He didn't listen, he never listens
>But, in some way, it was 'interesting' to see how far he can go with his idea of taking me to dinner
>But he's finally gone. Now the jokes about having a crush with one of my patients can stop
"Yes, Ms. Minuette, what can I do for you?"
>"Oh, I just wanted a date for a general check. You know, the annual revision"
"I see. Ok, so your date is programmed for the next saturday."
>"Thanks Ms. Red Heart"
"No problem"
>...
>I can't believe she looks so fat
>Maybe she just got pregnant?
>I can't waste a gossip like this
"Hey Anon, guess who looks like-"
>Oh right, he already left
>Silly me. I guess I was used to talk with him about things
>Ponies who work at hospital aren't friendly at all
>The stress and constant attention that the patients need are some of the reasons
>But Anon was someone who truly cared about my mood or about my work
>He teached me to have a nice conversation
>I'm gonna miss that

>...

>It's been a week since Anon left
>You don't understand why you keep thinking about him
>He was just another patient
>But he was different, you don't know how
>He has some weird charm, the way he talked to you
>The...
>"Excuse me nurse, I've been waiting my turn for 20 minutes"
"Oh I'm sorry, I just got distracted. Your appointment goes for the next week"
>"Hmm thanks"
"It won't happen again"
>It keeps happening
>You get distracted from work because of him
>Why?
>Why him?
>Because he...cared about you?
>That's it
>Because he truly cared about you?
>It's so stupid...
>Maybe you should try to focus on your work
>Eventually you'll move on

>...

>Now it's been three weeks...
>Why you even care?
>Ugh, anyways
>Your boss gives you a warning about the complains of your patients
>He told you that maybe you should take a break
>Yeah, right
>Probably you're fired, but you don't really care
>You can't work like this anyways
>The days are longer
>The nights are shorter
>Now everytime you look at the stars, you think about your future, your fears
>You think about how much you have missed because of your job
>You think about why you are always so alone
>You think about...him
>Now you know it
>Your life has been just a daily routine, a merely obligation
>You were so used to it you didn't even notice
>He just tried to share some of his happiness with you
>Because that's why he's so special
>He's always smiling, always have something nice to say, a compliment or even a flirt
>And nothing discourages him
>Well, 'almost' nothing
>When you tell her you didn't feel anything for him, he looked so...destroyed
>How can you do such a thing?
>Destroys a human's hopes and dreams
>What is he doing right now?

>...

>You can't sleep anymore
>This has beome such a stupid obsession
>He only talked to you. That's it
>You've talked with a lot of ponies
>What is so special about him?
>Sure he smiles and everything but you still don't get it
>It's so painful
>He made you so happy
>But you haven't realized until now
>There were just little conversations
>But those are the meaninful ones
>He was just smiling
>But it was that type of smile that warmed your heart
>He ony asked for your day and your mood
>But only because he cares about you, and he wants to know if you're okay
>You were so stupid
>But
>Maybe it's not too late
>You know where he lives
>You've seen his medical files a thousand times
>It's not too far from your house
>Maybe you still have a chance
>Maybe he can forgive you
>Maybe he'll understand
>That sometimes ponies made mistakes
>But you have to hurry up
>It's almost midnight, but he'll understand
>He'll...understand...right?
>You are now in front of his door
>You can feel your body shaking, like if you were about to pass out
>And you didn't even know what are you going to tell him
>Hello Anon, I realized I want to date with you
>No way, that sounds terrible
>I made a mistake and I want to...
>Even worse!
>You just knocked the door
>The sooner you get rid of this the better
>...
>You were so impatient you can't wait
>"Hello? Oh!"
"Hi anon, I...I am so glad to see you"
>"I can't really say the same"
"Huh?"
>Then you realized
>He had company
>Female company
>He was already on a dinner with another mare
>The instant you realized that, your world just crumbled
>Your heart was shattered in a million pieces
>Those little special moments you were so happy to remember
>Now they meant nothing
>You can't even stand on your legs
>But you don't want him to see you cry
>"Are you ok? Please get up..."
>It was the last thing you heard before his words were turn into whispers
>You deserved this, didn't you?
