Hi casualty fans, I hope you're all fans of casualty because if you aren't your in the wrong place. So, a lot of the time I get ideas in my head that I just want to write down. Sometimes, I wanna write something for you guys but I don't know what to put for my two main fics. I mean I love The Safety Net is broken but it takes so long to write chapters for. So, I thought I'd do an alphabet one-shot collection. Basically the first one-shot will be titled something beginning with a and this continues through all the letters. I will be taking requests and actually I'd really like some. I will do any ship as long as i know who it includes. So, yeah on with the first one shot.
1. A-
An Abundance Of Love.
(Lofty + Ethan)
It had been approximately three weeks since Ethan had done what he'd been scared of for years; he'd finally told Cal he was gay. Cal had pretty much laughed in Ethan's face, telling his brother he'd always known and that he was cool with it. A massive weight lifted off his shoulders, Ethan finally decided he could be himself without fear of judgement. Ethan stopped trying to fit in- was just being himself- and that's when people noticed.
"Hey," Robyn said to lofty
"Do you think Ethan's gay?"
Lofty nearly spit out his drink.
"What where's this come from?"
Robyn chuckled,
"Just the way he walks and the way he is, just everything about him." Lofty looked across the ED at Ethan.
"Okay it's going to bug me, I'm gonna have to go an ask him." Lofty said
"Lofty you can't just ask him!" Robyn glared at him.
"Relax I will be as subtle as I can with him." Lofty laughed. Robyn looked unconvinced but didn't stop him. Lofty jogged across the ED and slid into position next to Ethan.
"So, I have a question for you?" Lofty said
"Jesus," Ethan nearly jumped out of his skin, "what do you want?"
"What do you think of Robyn?" He asked
"Umm not really my type, but you two would look cute together. Why do you ask?" Ethan looked at him.
"Oh so not your type, what is your type?" Lofty inquired.
"Guys" Ethan muttered under his breath, "I don't really know, just not Robyn." He said.
"Oh okay cool," lofty said walking away. Ethan watched as he walked away, when I say watched yeah he was checking him out.

Later on that day, after the shifts were finished, most of the staff were in the pub, they sat generally in two groups: Lily, Rita, Zoe, Max and Cal or Robyn, Lofty, Mac, Noel, Louise and Charlie. Tess was at the bar and would soon return to the first group with a tray of drinks. Ethan, meanwhile, was sat, at the bar, on his own. He was never overly bothered about going to the pub but he was a taxi for Cal, so had no choice but to say. At some point-no-one could recall when- Dylan had joined him.
"I'm going to say you don't want to be here either." Dylan said
"Nope,I just want to go home but no because cal wants to come here." Ethan replied lamely.
"Oh so you're a taxi to?" Dylan asked
"Basically," Ethan answered.
"Well I'm going to go they can make their own way home." Dylan said
"Ok." Ethan said, he wasn't really paying much attention. He was too busy studying the way Lofty did everything- from the way he sat to the way he talked. Ethan was in love, not that he thought it was returned.

The conversation in the second group was currently film- a topic loved by Lofty- but Lofty wasn't listening. Since his discovery earlier that day, he couldn't stop thinking about Ethan; the way he walked with his head slightly down and would glance up to speak and the way his eyes would crinkle at the side when he smiled. Lofty realised there and then, he had to tell Ethan how he felt.
・・・
Lofty excused himself from the table and made his way over to Ethan. After much deliberation, lofty finally spoke.
"Umm hey Ethan." He said
"Oh hai Lofty, come to question me more on the type of people I fancy." Ethan turned looking at Lofty, trying not to let his eyes linger anywhere but Lofty's eyes.
"Look sorry about that, but I heard what you muttered." Lofty said
"Umm oh no." Ethan tried to leave but Lofty forced him to sit.
"Look Ethan, it's fine, I agree."
"Um what?" Ethan asked looking down, he couldn't look him in the eye anymore.
"I'm gay." Lofty said, Ethan looked up at this point and forced a chuckle.
"I-I don't what you're talking about," Ethan said nervously. Lofty laughed.
"Ethan you said it yourself earlier. Just tell me." Lofty said looking at him. Ethan sighed and glanced around.
"Me too," he whispered checking around again.
"Come with me," Lofty said, grabbing Ethan's wrist. He led him outside into the bitingly cold air.
"Lofty, it's cold." Ethan said.
"Just listen," Lofty begged
"I was listening inside," Ethan muttered.
"I can't tell you in there" Lofty said
"Fine get on with it." Ethan said in fake annoyance.
"Please just, don't get mad." Lofty said looking Ethan in the eye.
"Why would I get mad? Tell me." Ethan said.
"I er oh might as well, I love you." Lofty said, his hands suddenly becoming very interesting. Ethan's eyes widened in shock but was very happy. Slowly, he walked towards Lofty. When he reached him, he took two fingers and put them under his chin. Lifting Lofty's chin, he pressed there lips together. As they kissed, the world melted away. Nothing else mattered in that moment. Neither of them cared what anyone thought of them.
"I love you too" Ethan said.
And in that moment, all there was was an abundance of love.
