Chapter Text
After the Courier left Julie had let one of the other Doctors that she would be out for just a bit to see The King.
The walk to the Kings was rather uneventful, and only took a few minutes.
Once inside the school however, Julie got a bit of unwanted attention from The King's main side bit, Pacer when she asked him where the King was.
“The King? He's upstairs on the 3rd floor in his room being busy but what business brings you here? Ain't you one them Huggers of the Apocalypse? The doctors?”
He said looking the woman up and down, Julie crossed her arms trying to cover up her ample chest, as she regretted leaving the Coat back at the Fort.
“I have some information for him concerning His Dog Rex, it will only take a few minutes and yes I am the head doctor for the Followers of the apocalypse.”
“Tell you what there pretty lady, how about we go somewhere for a few minutes and you give me private examination then I'll take you up to see The King. Whaddya say doc?”
“I'm sorry but I'm going to refuse your offer, now which way is it to the Stairs?”
Pacer chuckled and stood up from place against the wall and walked over to Julie and pulled her to his chest by wrapping an arm around her waist.
She yelled and pushed him away, sending the Greasy side bit to floor with a bang.
“Whatever happened to turning the other cheek there doll?”
Pacer stood up and grabbed the woman's wrist rather hard causing her to yelp in pain. Using her wrist as leverage, he put his arm behind his back, forcing Julie to into his chest and then he bullied her to the edge of a desk where he pinned her.
.A few of the other gang members scattered to go get help or just to get away.
“LET GO OF ME!” Julie Screamed This time yelling loud enough to bring the King downstairs. She managed to land a decent punch on the king member before he grab that wrist too but he didn't grab it hard like he did the other one.
“What's going on here?! Julie what are you-” he stopped and realized the situation.
“Pacer you hound dog! Get off the poor woman!” Glaring at the doctor, Pacer reluctantly set her free, instantly Julie started rubbing her sore wrist.
Instantly The King was at her side, make sure she was okay, their eyes locked.
The king felt his heart rate pick up as his Deep sea Blue eyes locked with Her olive green ones. Never had seen such beautiful eyes before, sure he had seen quite a few pairs of green eyes that had caught his eyes but never like this woman's.
She smiled and blushed, heat flooded to her face as she realized how close the two were and how handsome The King really was.
With eyes still locked, The King gently picked up her wrist, holding it as if it were a baby bird.
He gave her a ghost of a smile as he looked away from her eyes and moved his eyes to her wrist.
He frowned when he saw a bruise forming already. His eyes started turning into a midnight blue color as he let out a low growl.
“That stupid son of a bitch.This is taken things too far.” He sighed and looked at Julie with an apologetic look on his face.
“I'm real sorry about Pacers behavior,, don't know what got into him lately, I'll get you some ice.”
Gently and reluctantly, Julie pulled her wrist out The Kings grip, but almost instantly she regretted the action as she missed the warmth of his hands.
She blushed and mentally scolded herself, and reminded herself of who she was dealing with.
“Come on Jules! This is the King! He's a player! Don't let those beautiful deep blue handsome eyes sucker you in!” She stepped back a bit and took a deep breath.
“It's okay, I'm fine really. I'm a doctor remember?”
“Yeah you are, it's weird not seein you without your Huggers of the apocalypse- I mean Followers of the apocalypse jacket on. Sorry about the uh nickname there.”
He chuckled nervously and blushed, he feverently attemtpted to look away from the rather beautiful face that made him feel like he had cazadors fluttering around in his stomach or whatever the post apocalyptic equivalent to a butterflies was and all the while internally he was chiding himself for acting like a fool
“Come on man, this ain't cool! You're acting like a fool...hey those Rhyme..Focus! Don't be gettin all soft now, you're the King! You're used to seein foxy little ladies like her all the time, you ain't no big ole’ hunk of love ! You've got a Wooden heart! You don't need to be falling for them dazzling one of a kind Green eyes!”
He shook his head and chuckled, trying to act natural.
“So uh, what brings to my neck of the woods Miss Farkas?”
“Oh call me Jules...Or Julie! Either one is great but I'm oh I have some news on Rex! I've heard of a man that lives up in Jacobstown named Dr.Henry who can help! He specializes in Cybertronics and biotechnology!”
She chattered excitedly and in return he gave her a off white but still dazzling ear to ear smile.
“Well ain't that the Bees knees?!”
He wanted to throw his arms around the woman and kiss her.
“I'll see if I can find someone to take Rex up the Henry, if not I'll do it myself.”
He felt his heart stop. This woman's heart was too big for her body.
“No need, the courier kid is coming over tomorrow, I'm sure they'll help get Rex up there after all they love ole Rex!”
“That's great to hear! And after Rex is fixed up I'll come by see you and him!”
She blushed and looked away then back at The King.
“Or I can come by the Fort and see you..and bring Rex along too of course!”
He chuckled nervously and felt his face grow hot.
She shuffled her feet and sighed, looked behind the King she noticed it was getting dark out, The King noticed she was staring at something behind him and following her gaze he realized the same thing.
He also notice that his men were staring at the woman, more specifically her chest.
He had to admit she was well endowed, but still he didn't like seeing other men stare at her like as if they were staring at one the groupies.
He had to do something…
“I'm guessing that it's getting time for you to go?”
Julie reluctantly nodded and looked around as she felt eyes staring at her.
She cringed as she tried to cross her arms over her chest, the pain in her wrist was getting worse and made it difficult to cover herself with her arms.
“Yeah it’s close to dark, I should probably be getting back to the fort now.”
He held out his cream colored jacket to her, blushing as he did so.
“Here take this so you don’t get...cold.” The two of them blushed furiously, and looked down at the ground then back at each other.
She knew he wasn’t concerned about her getting cold as the temperature was nowhere near low enough to be considered cool much less cold but she took it anyway eternally grateful for his compassion.
“Oh goodness! Thank you!I really appreciate this King. You’re really too kind.”
“Well for all the hard work you do around Freeside and for me, it’s not much at all. Do you want me to have one of my Men walk you back to the fort?”
“Oh no I’m good...but thank you King really thank you.”
The King gave her a small smile and leaned on the counter’s edge as he spoke.
‘No problem Jules, just uh lookin out for you….You better run along now before it gets any darker.I’ll be lookin forward to seein you soon...and Rex will too, especially since you’re the one who came over here to give me the good news even after I might have flipped over a table and scared ya half to death. I’m real sorry for actin like a Jackass to ya by the way.”
“It’s okay and I look forward to visiting as well there King. I’ll drop your jacket off in the morning. But I have to go like now, so I’ll be seeing you soon, okay?”
“It’s fine and try to get ya self back home safely....Please.” With a nod of her head a quick wave Julie left and stepped out side into the warm Mojave night air.
Even behind the door she could hear The King and a member of his talk about her.
“Uh boss? It aint cold out, it’s kind warm out there. She aint gonna get chilled.”
“I know that! And I also know you little boys were starin at her like she was one them Gomohera girls! SHow her some respect will ya?”
“You like her don’t you?”
“Shut it.”
Julie quietly schuckled as she stepped of the curb and started walking in the direction of the fort.
