Sacha ducked behind the wall as Dom entered the ward.

"Sacha! Stop hiding from me. I know you're there. And you know I'm going to ask you about Lofty, so just tell me what's going on." Dom shouted at the hiding man as he headed back towards the staff room, beckoning for Sacha to follow him. Which, with an over exaggerated sigh, he did.

"I guess you heard, then?" Sacha asked as he shut the door behind him.

"Yes, Movern told me about it this morning when I bumped into her at Pulses. Did he tell you why?" Dom replied, sounding a little exasperated.

"He spoke to me first, actually. He said that he thought AAU would better suit his experience in the ED. And then I asked him for the real reason and he told me what you said and how he needed some time away to get his thoughts together." Sacha answered.

"Oh, well he should have spoken to me."

"As your boss, I'm glad he has transferred -to stop your personal issues becoming, well an issue for us to. But as your friend, are you sure you meant what you said, because I've seen the way Lofty looks at you."

"yeah but-" Dom stopped, an expression of realisation washed over his face to which Sacha smiled and got up with a clap to Dom's back and left the room.

Dom sat there for a good few minutes, thinking about all of the stolen glances they had shared before finally taking out his phone and tapping a quick message to the man himself.

Hey, can you meet me on the roof in 5 minutes, Dom.

After hitting send, he got up, told Sacha that he would be back soon and quickly grabbed his hoodie from the locker room before running up the stairs to the roof. About half way up, he got a reply which just said ok.

Lofty was making a bed down on AAU when he received the text from Dom. Part of him was excited to hear what he was going to say but the rest of him feared that it was just going to be more of Dom telling him what he is feeling. He felt bad for leaving Keller without telling him, but he was still quite upset and annoyed at Dom for the way he had dismissed his feelings.

After finishing the bed, he went over to Mr Griffin and asked if he could take a break, when he had replied with yes, Lofty replied to Dom and made for the stairs.

Dom made it to the roof, and headed over to the railings. Once there he smiled to himself. How many times had he been on this roof with boy trouble? His break up with Kyle, all the conversations with Bernie about Isaac and not to forget his pic-nic with Lee.

"Let's hope I can break this roof's bad luck, today." Dom murmured to himself when he heard the door open and Lofty call out "Dom?"

"Lofty, over here." Dom responded, a smile, once again, appearing on his face.

"Hey," Lofty said when he reached the railings, "What did you want to say? Mr Griffin runs a tight ship down on AAU and I don't think he wants me away too long."

"Well, I wanted to talk about what I said the other day-" Dom began but Lofty cut in.

"Look, Dom, I get it. And I'm sorry for leaving without telling you, it was a bad move. But I hope we can still be friends."

"That's it actually," Dom began, shaking his head when he saw the look of sadness that ran across Lofty's face, "No, I mean, I don't mean what I said the other day. It was bad of me to try and tell you what you are feeling, and I realise now that I was wrong. It just didn't cross my mind that you actually liked me-I guess I can be quite oblivious sometimes." Dom said, ending with a quiet chuckle.

"You really mean that?" Lofty asked.

"Yes, and I'm sorry. But could I maybe make up for it with a drink tonight?" Dom asked, slightly nervous.

"What, like as a date?"

"Yeah, if you like?"

"Ok, then. I better go before I'm missed" Lofty said, grinning and making to go before turning back and giving Dom a kiss on the cheek, "Meet you outside Wyvern at the end of our shift?"
