I hope you like it, I do have some sort of plan for this, so yeah

Prologue

Ray shut the door to the apartment to find it dark, and his roommate curled up on the couch, and a familiar Disney film on the TV screen.

"Yo, Neela!" he called out, she immediately jerked up, as if she hadn't really been expecting him for a few hours, and truth be known she hadn't.

"I thought you had a gig?" she questioned searching for the remote to hit the stop button.

"I did, but it got cancelled. And don't stop on my account, Lion King deserves to be watched once in a while." Neela gawped at him, he recognised it?

"Simba's Pride, actually, I watch Lion King before. How did you-"

"Doesn't matter." He smiled, that, smile, and made his way to the couch. "Come on Roomie, hit play." He slumped down next to her, in his usual spot, grabbing at the remote as she refused to co-operate. "Hey, I'll admit to reducing myself to Disney, not normally willingly, but it's been a long day, and I don't have the energy to be hit constantly because you're scared of The Shining…" Neela glared at him through the dark, as he openly smirked at her freaked out-ness after he had made her watch it. She had made him stay up with her until she'd fallen to sleep.

"Not funny." Neela said deadpan, settling down and turned her attention back to the TV. Random Savannah animals were singing about how Kovu was some sort of traitor when he wasn't. She would have happily sung along, if she were alone.

They settled into the couch together, much like when he had recorded her favourite program, Celebrity Poker, and they had watched it together, her head on his shoulder. After Kovu had been chased away, it came to the more romantic piece of the film, after Upendi… Love Will Find A Way.

Neela started humming to the music as it began again, tears in her eyes. In a perfect world, one we've never known, We would never need to face the world alone. She sang along in her head, little to her knowledge the words began to escape her lips.

"They can have the world; We'll create our own…"

Ray smiled to himself; he thought about it, a forbidden love, that's what Ciara and Kovu had, a lot like himself. He shouldn't love Neela, but he did. If only we could, I could have you, and you would never have married Michael Roomie.

"I may not be brave or strong or smart, but somewhere in my secret heart." You are the bravest, strongest and smartest woman I have ever met! I don't know anyone else who would be able to cope if there husband left them after a week of marriage for war. And you certainly outsmart me!

As the chorus kicked in, they both found them self thinking the same damned thing.

'I know, love will find a way,

Anywhere I go, I'm home,

If you are there beside me.

Like dark turning into day,

Somehow we'll come through,

Now that I've found you,

Love will find a way.'

I hope one day, that we do find a way. I'm not at home unless I'm here, and as long as he/she is here with me, I will always be complete. We will get through this darkness, without Michael here and maybe one day, because I know that I have her/him, and I know our love will find a way.

Ray had to give in, he had seen this film more than once, and he was pretty sure he had the soundtrack somewhere, for some unknown reason. "I was so afraid, now I realize, love is never wrong, and so it never dies…" he started tossing as Neela had stopped, Ciara finishing her section. He looked towards her; she looked slightly stunned that he knew the words, who could blame her, Rocker come Doctor, who was singing along to Disney, quite unheard of. She smiled inside, it really was adorable, a big very masculine guy was singing Disney, what wasn't there to like?

Neela bit down hard on the inside of her lip, she shouldn't be thinking that he, Ray Barnett, was right. Maybe she had been afraid of what she was feeling for him, but love is never wrong, and she shouldn't try and hide it. It would never go away.

Ray continued what he had started; finishing Kovu's solo, before Neela was willing to join in for the duet of the song. "There's a perfect world, shining in your eyes."

And if only they could feel it too

The happiness I feel with you

Ray never felt happier when he was in her presence, and Neela with him, even in the presence of Michael, she never felt like this. He never made her feel complete. She felt whole, she felt so undyingly happy when sat on the grotty old couch with her long suffering roommate, well, she was the long suffering roommate.

They'd know

Love will find a way

Anywhere we go

We're home

If we are there together

They were always here; in they're flat together these days. They had originally made the pact to work opposite shifts and never see each other, that had been blown out of the water, never had she really cared, but it was a way of pretending she did. She loved spending more time with him and him with her. She felt bad, pining after him, when her husband was fighting a war, but she couldn't help but feel slightly abandoned.

Like dark turning into day

Somehow we'll come through

Now that I've found you

Love will find a way

Now they had found each other, thee was nothing going to stop them, nothing in this life was going to stand in there way, Ray's groupies, Neela's husband, nobody at the ER, or anybody else they physically knew. There was no way singing the song was making them go mad, they meant it, and they knew the other meant it too.

I know love will find a way

How true it actually was. They both knew it, now. They had been facing each other since Ray had started to sing along. "I didn't know you had even seen this film."

"What can I say? I'm full of surprises." He unconsciously lifted his hand to her cheek, and she felt herself lean into it, loving the spark of his touch, she loved the feel of his skin on hers, and could only think of the feel of his lips on her own, a vision and hope that had crossed her mind many times.

She leant towards him, meaning what she was going in or, and he gladly met her half way. The soft graze of lips, short, loving, and expressively meaningful kiss. Full of more love than a 50 year marriage. They knew that was it.

Keeping their eyes closed once they had parted, she rested her forehead on his, breathing heavily. "Ray, I shouldn't be doing this." And no matter how much she wanted to let herself lose herself in him, she couldn't.

"No, but if it feels this right, you shouldn't deny yourself of it." He was pleading, sort of, he knew that, but he meant it. He had waited too long for this, and he wasn't going to stop it before it had even begun.

"But, Michael-"

"He's not around for you Neela. He left you." Immediately after he had said it, he wished he hadn't, she jerked away from him, and went to stand, but a firm hand on her was it stopped her from rising.

"Is that all this is to you? I'm here, and easy because my husband ran away to war, rather than spend his life with me, like he vowed he wanted to, 'til death!"

"That isn't what I meant! Neela please, listen to me."

"What makes you think I want to listen to you pathetic lies, Barnett! All you ever do is string along groupie after groupie, gig after gig, you never call, you never bother to learn there names!"

"I know yours," he argued pathetically. "Why would I not know the name of the woman I fell in love with two years ago?"

"What did you say?" she choked, finally resisting the urge to pull away.

"I said, that I love you." He let his hand and gaze fall, she was free to go, but her fawn form stayed firm where it was. Semi shocked at the secret that he had just revealed, not that it had been much of one but to hear him admit it was one hell of a shock.

"And love will find a way." He looked up at her, her penetrating eyes buried into his stunned face. His smile replaced his near tears frown and she leant towards him again.

"We'll come though, I found you Neela, standing in that god damned ER, no good ever comes there, apart from you. And I knew that I would try and find a way; let my love find a way." She smiled amorously at him, he closed the gap another few times, soft tender kisses were placed, nothing going to far.

He loved her far too much for that.
