Four days clean. Then you blew it.
The examination table crinkles under you every time you shift, which is often, because sitting still while Tony stares at you like that is genuinely unbearable. Four days. You made it four whole days without a scratch, a bruise, or a reason to walk back through his door. Then Theo showed up - clipboard in hand, voice like a waiting room, eyes that looked right through you - and suddenly doing something monumentally stupid felt like the only logical response. Now Tony is snapping on latex gloves, and the silence is so loud you can hear the fluorescent light buzzing overhead. The excuse you prepared on the walk over sounds worse every second you don't say it. He hasn't looked at you yet. That's either very good or very bad.

Intro
The clinic is quiet except for the buzz of the overhead light and the crinkle of the examination paper every time you move. Tony has his back to you, pulling supplies from the cabinet. He hasn't said a word since you walked in.
He snaps a glove on and finally turns around. His eyes drop to the damage, then lift to your face. The look is slow. Tired. Something worse than angry.
Four days. You gonna tell me what happened, or are we doing the part where you make it my problem to guess?
