Summary: Jack has hit his head harder than he thought. A double drabble.
Jack could sense the paramedics eyeing him warily as he leaned against the side of the SUV, still a little woozy from the blood loss. At least it had only been a minor skull fracture and not his whole head split open like a melon. That would have been slightly undignified.
One of the two finally bit down on his courage and approached Jack. ‘You look like you took a bit of a knock there.’
Jack smiled. At least it was the better looking one, though the green coveralls did nothing for his physique. ‘Nothing I can’t handle.’
‘We should still check you over,’ the paramedic insisted.
Jack attempted to make his lean more casual, but instead he slumped, a bit more dizzy than he’d thought. The paramedic caught him before he slid all the way to the road. ‘Okay, we definitely need to check that head wound.’
Jack couldn't help but smirk as the man half carried him towards the van. ‘Do you need to take off my clothes?’
‘That depends,’ he replied. ‘Do you have any other injuries we need to treat?’
In his light-headed state, suddenly both paramedics didn’t look so bad. ‘Maybe you ought to check.’
