So after last nights episode, I'm know beginning to ship Rylan (Rita and Dylan) so I thought I'd right a oneshot on them.
I'm meant to be revising as I do have a history exam first thing tomorrow, but I've had quite enough of the Plains Indians and witchcraft among other things.
I hope you enjoy x
Please review xx

"Goodnight Dylan." Rita said before leaving Dylan's office door way.
"Rita." He called after her.
"Yep."
"Actually would you mind staying for a while I could do with a hand sorting this lot into files."
"Of course where do you want me."
Rita took off her coat and hung it up, closing the door to block out the noise of the ED.
"Can you just start sorting through these" Dylan handed Rita a pile of patient notes. "They need ordering alphabetical."
"Consider it done."
They both set about filing, sorting and ordering. Dylan began to fill in necessary forms. Rita looked up and smiled as she watched him work, his concentrating face was a picture.
"I suppose Dervla will be missing you"
"Yeah well this is only temporary, and anyhow we will be done soon. So less chatting more working."
Rita bit her lip she wanted to know more about this aloof doctor and yet didn't know quite where to start.
Once all the paperwork had been cleared and the desk was once again visible the pair sat down on the sofa.
"Don't I get a thank you."
"You offered."
"Yeah but.."
"But nothing. Your help is very much appreciated you may go now."
"I thought we could go get something to eat, it's been a long day and you look like you could do with some human company."
"I'm okay thank you Dervla is all I need."
"Can't I even tempt you with a drink."
"I don't drink in public."
"I don't mind boats."
"Well my boat doesn't like strangers."
"Boats don't have feelings Dylan, but people do."
"Fine as you've been so kind, one drink."
"Brilliant. Shall we."
The both put on their coats and Rita drove them to Dylan's boat. Once inside Rita went into the living room and sat down. Dylan brought two glasses of wine through.
"I didnt know you were a wine drinker."
"I'm not really its what Zoe left behind, when she went to live with her teenage lover boy."
"Max isn't that bad. I really admire your friendship with Zoe."
"We've been through a lot together, with the fire and everything."
"Fire?"
"Oh yeah a few years back me and Zoe got trapped in resus while the hospital burnt around us"
"Oh I never knew."
"There's a lot of things people don't know about me."
"Care to share."
"Well I was married and am now divorced."
"Married!" Rita spluttered.
"Yes, I was married and then my wife was with Iain whilst in the army."
"Iain? Paramedic Iain."
"Yes her name was Sam she used to work at Holby until she met Tom another doctor and married him then left."
"Oh you are a dark horse."
"I've always loved having a sense of mystery about me, helps to keep me interesting."
"It certainly does."
"I'll get the wine bottle I can see this might me a long night."
"So your happy with my company then."
"Well it beats the teenager lovers any day."
Rita laughed as Dylan went back into the kitchen.
A few hours and a bottle of wine later Rita had fallen asleep on the sofa. Dylan fletched her a blanket and covered her up. He stood back and watched the slow rise and fall of her chest. There was something about Rita he found intriguing. He hesitated for a moment before placing a light kiss onto her forehead.
"Sleep well."
