I've had this stuck in my head for ages, this is my first "leddie" piece and hopefully if you enjoy i shall write more.
I apologise for any spelling mistakes.

Enjoy !

The cold air hit his face as he inhaled the fresh and pure air that can only be this refreshing from a height, he looked down and watched as the world went by, as car after car fastly made their way down the busy roads and as people got out of their cars to enter the hospital.

He had found that since he started at Holby, he had spent quite alot of his free time up here, when everything in there started to get too 'heated' or too 'personal' he'd escape up here, nobody would ask him questions, he could finally relax in his own company.

But that wasn't what he wanted, at least not anymore..

He no longer had the desire to be on his own, to get away from any form of human contact, he felt the exact opposite it, he craved her touch, the way she smiled at him when he'd given her a sarcastic answer, obviously his form of flirting, it was times like this where he hoped he wasn't so closed off with people, and that he didn't find it so hard to communicate and tell people how he felt, and most of all, listen.

Time had passed quicker than he thought, and before long he had arrived back to the ward 15 minutes late, much to Eddies annoyance.

...

"Where've you been Luc? You can't just swon off whenever you feel like it"

Luc looked at her and gave her a small smile, before responding sarcasticly.

"Fishing"

She gave him a look of confusion before walking off in the opposite direction.

Almost an hour had passed when Luc saw Eddie sat behind the nurses station obviously very intrigued in what she had on the computer screen, he saw this as his opportunity.

He casually walked over to her before quickly croutching down behind her with his head close to hers. She could feel his breath hitting the back of her neck giving her goosebumps.

She loved the way his muscular body stood out from his blue shirt, and the way as soon as he came near her, his pressence would suddenly make her feel safe and protected, and most of all, excited.

"Anything interesting Nurse Mckee" He whispered softly, making sure she noticed the change in the tone of his voice

"Nothing you'd understand Mr hemmingway" She tried her best to keep her desire in check, but it wasn't as easy as she thought.

He brushed his arm against her back as he slowly stood up before quietly saying,

"Meet me in the lab in 5" He walked off before she got the chance to question him.

She hated when he did that, when he left her hanging, she also hated the effect he had on her, how just the feel of his breath agaisnt her can get her so excited and leave her wanting so much more off him.

All she could do was comply, she couldn't concentrate knowing she had missed out on something, knowing that maybe, possibly he wanted her as much as she wanted him, as much as he infuriated her, she still wanted him and with the added bonus that he was sexy as hell.

He sat in the lab waiting for her, he knew she'd come, he knew she couldn't just ignore it, as much as she'd tried to, he liked the way she always jumped slightly when he touched her, and how he noticed the little hairs on the back of her neck stick up as his breath hit it.

The door opened ever so slightly, and eddi emerged looking flustered, almost as if she had ran there.

"Ahh Nurse Mckee"

"What do you want Luc" She exclaimed, slightly annoyed he'd broguht her here just to have one of his sarcastic conversations.

"I need your help .." He softly said, a hint of seduction in his voice.

"With? .. " She was getting extremly irritated now.

"A little experiment of mine"

"Experiment? What am i? One of your little play things?" She shouted whilst pointing to a dead rat he'd been experimenting on.

"Firstly im assuming you're a woman? Unless you'd like to prove me wrong? If i am wrong im afraid the experiment will be abit more complicated, and secondly i don't recall every 'playing' with you' this is just something i'd like your help with" He said with the upmost confidence.

"Can't you find someone else to asist you Mr Hemmingway" She knew his game, she knew what he wanted now.

"No, because if i asked somebody else, i wouldn't be able to do ... this ..."

He gently took hold of her wrists and pulled her closer to him,

"Luc .."

She focused her eyes on his, she could see the desire and excitment building up in him, and it's then when she realised that even if it was a tiny possiblilty, that he felt the same as her. He moved his head closer to hers as their noses brushed together and she placed her warm hands around his neck, bringing him closer to her, craving to feel his lips against hers, to show him how much she wanted him and needed him.

Before long, they were both getting lost in eachother, Luc had his hands on the skin of her hips, bringing her closer to him, needing to have proper human contact, she seductivly put her hands underneath his shirt, tracing up his body, knowing how excited this would make him, she could swear she heard him slightly moan.

Just as she started to unbutton his shirt, he reluctantly pulled his lips away from hers, hands still on her hips, he stared at her, her lips were swollen, her hair was all messy, but most of all, she looked beautiful.

"This is why i needed you .. Nobody else"

...

Eddie walked into work feeling strange, a strange sense of happiness, something she had failed to acomplish in life, despite her fierce nature. Butterflys appeared in her stomach as she entered AAU. Walking over to the nurses station, there Luc sat, fixing what seemed like a plastic helicopter, he looked up at her, his face kept straight, but that was nothing like what was going on inside him, his tummy doing flips as a weird sense on longing overcome him.

"Good Morning Mr hemmingway" Eddie said with a small smirk

"Is it Nurse Mckee" He said questionably

"Childhood toy?" Eddi asked whilst looking towards the plastic toy he had so much concentration just moments before.

"Actually, i bought it last week, took it for a spin last night and it seems to have demolished itself"
He said before standing up leaving Eddi to shake her head in disbelief.

She spent most of the day looking out for Luc, she couldn't help but think he was avoiding her, she'd seen glimses of him on the ward, but he didn't stop around to say one word to her. She couldn't help but miss his pressence, the way when she'd have to answer a difficult question from a patient before she had the chance to answer, he'd be behind her, his warm strong hand resting on the small of her back whilst butting in and answering it for her. How could she possibly be annoyed at him when he touched her in the most senstive ways. Even how he'd put his hand on her shoulder when things were getting to much, so she'd know he was there for her,

Complicated and cold, that's how everything saw him, his quick and witty responses to all questions fired at him made him seem socially awkward, avoiding all confrontation when necessary.

This was until he'd met someone who understood him, who had pushed and pushed until he'd finially open up, who hadn't given up and wasn't put off, or threatened by his awkward personality and strange sense of humour

It had gotton to 5 o clock and after a difficult case involving an alcoholic tragically passing away due to liver failure and with the added pressure of believeing she had done something wrong to luc to make him avoid her, she decided to sit in the locker room for a while, secretly hoping he would worry enough to come and find her.

Luc arrived back on the ward and immediatly noticed that something he had grown so acostumed to seeing was all of a sudden missing, so without hessitation, he went to where he knew she'd be hiding, she always went here when she was in a mood and the walk up to the roof seemed like too much effort to her. He made his way over to the locker room and gently opened the door, before procceding to enter, there she was, as expected. He closed the door behind him before he strolled over to Eddie, his overly shiny shoes squeaking as the soles hit the floor.

"Eddie ... i thought i'd find you here" Although he knew his pressence was known, she had not acknowledged him, so he thought he'd better speak up.

She slowly lifted her head, facing in the opposite direction to him, she couldn't look at him, all the anger she had towards him at that very moment would dissapear, and she needed answers first.

"Really, why?" She whispered quietly

"I'm an expert in reading peoples minds" He said as he crossed his arms across his chest

"Pfft" She sighed

"What's the matter" Luc said, ignoring her previous response

"What do you think luc" She asked him, needing him to acknowledge the fact that even after the previois night, he had returned to his usual self and put on his 'nothing happened' attitude

"Hmmm, time of the month?" He said light heartedly

"Very funny luc, im not interested in your games anymore, im tired of it, i've tried and i've tried, but every time we get the tiniest but close, you push me away, you act like you don't care, so i need you to tell me .. tell me how you feel Luc" She was now facing him as he sat beside her.

He looked into her eyes, completely speechless, could he risk telling her how he felt only for her to reject him? Could he finally commit to someone other than himself and his work?

He took her hand in his and stroked the soft skin of her knuckles before quietly saying

"I .. i .. it was more than a kiss eddi, it mean't more than just a kiss"

"What are you trying to say Luc? Don't start messing me about again, i've told you, no more games, ill ask to be moved wards if it is, ill leave ... i'll ..."

She was cut off by his soft lips crashing against hers, he placed his hand on the side of her face as his other accomodated itself on the small of her back again, he knew how much she liked that, how much it'd would make her feel comfortable and safe, even though she'd never in a million years admit it.

He slowly pulled away, keeping his face a tiny distance away from hers, as he softly whispered

"I think im in love with you"
