Disclaimer: I wished I owned Luka, but I don't, nor any thing else of the ER world.
Summary: um .... It'll be Luby. And that's all your getting so you have to read on. By the way I totally realize this isn't brilliant so there's no point telling me. FYI I'm English so I'm afraid couch is sofa etc for all American readers.
Luka rubbed another name off the board and looked up at the clock sighing. Half past four. Only one and a half hours left. He looked over at the empty waiting area. All the patients that still needed care were with doctors, which meant he had at least ten minutes to sit down and have a coffee.
He pushed open the door to the lounge and headed straight over to the coffee machine. Still half a cup left. He grabbed a cup and poured it out, the warm smell wafting up towards him.
'Hey stranger, haven't seen you all night.' Said a voice behind him. He turned around and saw Abby sitting on the sofa. It was so dark in the lounge he hadn't noticed her when he walked in.
'Hey.' Luka replied, walking over and flopping down next to her. He took a sip of coffee and leaned his head back against the wall, savouring what little flavour the drink had and closed his eyes.
'I take it it's quiet out there then.' Abby asked unfurling her legs from where she'd curled up. She'd been sleeping from the look of it, with slightly ruffled hair and dozy eyes.
'Very. Even Frank's asleep.' He said, not opening his eyes. 'Should have at least ten minutes before anyone comes looking for us.'
'Good.' She muttered, laying her head lightly on his shoulder. They sat in silence for about five minutes, half dozing until there was a loud crash outside.
'D'you think Frank's fallen of his chair?' Luka muttered. Abby smiled and snuggled up further into the couch.
'I don't care. I'm tired and you're comfy so you're not goin' anywhere.' It was Luka's turn to smile.
'Whatever you say.' At that moment the door burst open. Abby and Luka blinked in the bright light streaming in through the door.
'Doctor Kovac, we need you.' Said the nurse at the door. She looked at the pair of them, snuggled up on the sofa and smiled
'Of course you do,' Luka muttered to himself. 'I'm coming.' He said, standing up and walking over to the door.
'No! Pillow I need you.' Abby whined.
'Pillow gone.' Said Luka, closing the door.
'Jackass.' Abby smiled. She swung her legs over the side of the sofa and stood up. She could imagine that nurse going and spreading the gossip. I just saw Abby and Doctor Kovac all cuddled up on the couch, wonder what's going on there...
She smiled. Nurses were always like that. People barely had to smile at each other and they were engaged. Well let them gossip. Nothing was happening. She stood and ran her hands through her hair, trying to return it to its former tidiness.
