Who knew we'd both be in the hospital..? (712 words)
---
I keep saying that I was going to quit playing Mario Kart, but it kept suckering me back in. After 4 very competitive rounds of it, my thumb all of a sudden started to hurt and I looked down at it and it was very weird-looking... Oh crap, I had to get to the hospital, but luckily, the injury occurred on my non-dominant thumb.
I quickly got ready and grabbed my car keys before I headed out to my car, which was conveniently parked out in my driveway and straight on headed to the hospital.

"Hi, I'm here for an emergency..." I painfully smiled as I showed them my thumb injury. They nodded their head and handed me a bunch of forms to fill out.
Nodding my head, I quietly walked over to the waiting room to find an empty chair to sit at, when I found one empty chair next to a really cute guy, who was holding a bunch of tissues up his nose. Walking over to where he was, I sat down and started to fill out the forms before I heard a chuckle coming from him.
"Let me guess, you got the thumb injury from Mario Kart?" I turned around and faced him with a shy smile.
"I actually did! How did you know about that, Mr. Bloody nose?" I jokingly teased him as I was filling out my information on the medical forms.
"Ahh, my friends suffered similar injuries like that except in the form of a broken arm or something like that..." He quietly chuckled and I shook my head playfully. "I'm Leon."
"Y/N. It's very nice to meet you, Leon." I smiled at him as I outstretched my dominant hand for him to shake, which he did for a quick second before he attended back to his leaking nose.
"I am so sorry about this...My nose has been gushing blood for the past 30 minutes..." He slightly chuckled with a hint of pain evident in his tone.
"May I ask, how did it certainly happen?" I grabbed a tissue from the table next to me and handed it to Leon, which he thanked me for.
"I was babysitting one of my teammates' toddler and while I was trying to get them to eat something, they smacked their arm right on my nose and it just started to spew blood ever since..." Leon looked at me with his brown eyes staring into my E/C eyes. "And I know about the Mario Kart situation, so..."
I softly laughed at him as I politely excused myself to go return the forms to the receptionist and I returned back to where I sat and he smiled at me.
"It's been ages since I've last seen you!" Leon jokingly and gently nudged my on the shoulder as I sat back down in my seat.
"Oh, shut up! I've only been gone for the last 5 minutes..." I sarcastically rolled my eyes at him before my attention went up to the TV, which was broadcasting the DFB-Cup semifinal between Bayern and Werder Bremen.
"I see that you are a fußball fan, eh?" I heard Leon chuckle as I turned around and faced him with a goofy smile on my face.
"Of course, yeah! I love to watch football!" I quietly laughed as he shook his head at me playfully. "What?"
"You haven't recognized me yet, Y/N?" He looked at me with a smirk painted on his beautiful face and I shook my head. "Does the club FC Schalke 04 sound familiar to you?"
I nodded my head before I quietly gasped to myself and rested my good hand over my mouth in shock before I uncovered it and looked at him.
"You're Leon Goretzka, aren't you?" I quietly smirked at him as he deeply chuckled at me and he nodded his head.
"In the flesh."
I playfully rolled my eyes and we continued to talk with each other before our names were called to get checked our injuries out by the doctors. We eventually bumped into each other at the Starbucks not too far away from here a few hours later...
I guess that you could say that I fell in love at first sight...
