Hi everyone :) This is my new fic, I know I have another one on the go but this idea is in my head and has been bugging me so I just decided to get it out of my system!

Part 1

He grinned as the familiar smells hit his senses as he made his way down the corridor to AAU. His skin tanned it was clear he'd been away for some time. 3 months ago he had walked out the very same doors to fulfil his friends request of 'going home', whatever that meant. Although, despite its lack of clarity he had in fact found home. He had found her.

"Luc!" an over friendly voice shouted across the ward. He turned around to greet the larger than life being who he was proud to call his friend. "Sacha, good to see you" he replied whilst enduring one of Sachas man hugs. "You got my letter then?" Luc continued as they walked into the office.

"Yes, yes, How was India? How was Eddi? Is the food good..? Chrissie's always begging me to take her somewhere hot, I cant stand heat myself.. anyway, Cant wait to see her, Where is she? In the van?" Lucs tongue stumbled as his brain attempted to answer all of his quick fire questions simultaneously.

"I..she..India was.." was all he managed. The concern on Sachas face grew as Luc sighed and made himself comfortable at the desk. "Your letter. You said you'd found her. Sorted things out and were both coming back to work..." Sacha began to speak slower and slower as the sentence progressed having realised something wasn't right. "Luc?"

He sat toying with the folder on the desk, thinking about how to respond to Sacha without more questions being asked. There was no point in lying, besides Sacha deserved to know the truth.

"She's still in India. My letter. It was all true..at the time. Things just...She told me-" He didn't know how exactly to describe it. Truth was he had no idea what really happened himself. It was all so fast and before he knew it he was on a flight back to Bristol, Back to Holby. Alone. "..I guess we weren't as compatible as everyone else thought" he simply concluded before getting slightly annoyed at the topic of conversation "I mean you saw us on the ward, always at each other throats, intentionally winding each other up, disagreeing about everything..." Despite his anger at the situation he couldn't help but allow the corners of his mouth to curl in slight happiness, the thought of her and the past memories they shared at Holby causing a welcome relief from the pain of their current distance. Sacha soon interrupting his thoughts.

"So? You broke up and you came back here?" he questioned whilst taking a seat opposite Luc. "There's more too it than that!" he corrected as he shifted in his chair, both the conversation and chair causing him discomfort.

"There always is, always will be, with you two" Sacha honestly fought back. He'd seen their relationship build and fall apart since day one and felt just as involved as either of them, if they weren't going to fight for it any more, he was. The world and his wife could see they belonged together and that their fighting nature was just part of what made them tick.

"Did you tell her?" Sacha continued. "What does that matter?" Luc responded as clueless as ever. "That's a no then" he sighed "I thought the therapy helped, I know it finally helped me to understand you and it would have helped Eddi to-" "Look, despite the therapy I'm still the exact same person I was before ok, I'm over the past and accepted it, but I'm still Luc Hemingway, I'm still claustrophobic, I still love my research project so even if she did know it shouldn't change anything...She left Holby to get away from me, If she doesn't want me around then-" "She said that?" Sacha interrupted. "More or less" "So you did another runner?" Luc remained silent grabbing a bunch of patient files ready to exit and start his first day back. Sacha sighed. "You two..If you're not leaving her, she's leaving you...both as stupidly stubborn as the other" Luc threw him an annoyed glare as he reached for the door just as Sacha spoke again "So, why come back Holby?" "You told me to go home" he honestly replied. "Luc" "hmm?" he spun around whilst half way through the door. "Its really good to see you" Luc nodded in response as he exited about to start his shift leaving Sacha lost in thought. Where was Eddi? Was she safe? Would Luc really leave her again given the consequences of his previous absence? He cared for them both too much to let history repeat itself. He need to know more.

There we go! Please review on your way out..they spur me on! :P
