Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.
A/N So, this a story I've been working in for a while but it only really came to life after Sundays episode when I found the character I needed. As always, I do not own casualty, sorry for any: spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes, characters mistakes and weird ships. Napoleon quotes courtesy of the Internet or Etwenthome's amazing story disquietude. Which I really need to finish. Thanks enjoy the story!

Busy social life
Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools- Napoleon Bonaparte
"What, yours and dervla's busy social life?" Rita said. Dylan kept a straight face though the words stung. He slunk into his office and sat down, the words of his colleges had been getting to him more often than ever and it was painful. Dylan had planned to take his break but a very flustered looking Ben walked in.
"Dr Keogh? You're needed in resus." He said quietly, though at this point Dylan was oblivious as to why.
"Yes okay coming" Dylan sighed, he was pissed at the ward. They thought they knew him but they knew fuck all. No-one had gotten to know him and he felt awfully alone. He really didn't want to work, but, he had no choice. Dylan walked into the room where he found Cal desperately trying to restart a young boys heart.
Finally, Dylan was able to take his break. He switched on his laptop and sat down to watch his favorite program.
Ethan walked past Dylan's office to hear, what he didn't know was, laughter. Immediately, concerned for the safety of his boss and a man who's opinion he valued very much, Ethan gently knocked before entering. As he entered, Ethan heard an unmistakable voice and instantly became aware of what Dylan was watching.
"Ouran high school host club right?" Ethan said causing Dylan to jump from shock.
"Evan what the hell are doing?" Dylan said
"My names Ethan for the last time and I heard noises that sounded like you were having trouble breathing. I did knock." Ethan replied stumbling over a few of the words.
"Sorry Ethan. Can you not tell anyone about this?" Dylan asked
"Yeah sure but it's just anime Dylan it's fab. You should try Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In The Dungeon. It's an action anime. Or Attack On Titan." Ethan turned to leave.
"Wait! I'm sick of watching anime alone, would you please come over tonight and watch some with me?" Dylan asked
"Sure, why the hell not! Shall I invite lofty he's an uber anime nerd?" Ethan asked smiling.
"Er, maybe next time not too comfortable telling people." Dylan answered rubbing his neck.
"Okay want me to bring anything?" Ethan questioned.
"No, I think we'll be okay. Can you come straight after work?" Dylan asked hopefully.
"Yeah I'm not busy!" Ethan said "I should get back to work now. See you later Dylan."
The shift drew to a close and the gang had gathered in the reception. All the couples were casually talking. (Couples in this story: Zoe/Max, Honey/Jacob, Lily/Cal, Robyn/ Lofty, Rita/Connie, Iain, Dixie, Big Mac, Noel/ Oc and Ethan/?).
"Right," Cal said "first round on me"
The whole group erupted into thanks cal's and similar expressions and they all started to leave except for Ethan who stood waiting for Dylan.
"Eth," Cal said " you coming?"
Ethan looked up and stared at his brother and colleagues.
"No, I can't I'm going to Dylan's tonight." He said, causing the whole world to gasp.
"Dylan as in not of this earth Dylan?" Lofty asked
"As in Dylan Keogh" Ethan said
"Are you insane?" Rita asked.
"No, I just think perhaps you should try getting to know him. He might be really nice and/or kind but none of you have even given him a chance. You just assume you won't like him and you know perhaps you would if you tried. You all felt that way about lily at one point. Perhaps you should give him a chance, because I don't think anyone's ever got to know him and I'm sure as hell gonna try." Ethan said before swiftly turning on his heals and walking towards Dylan's office. Ethan burst open the door and flopped down into the seat opposite Dylan.
"Ethan are you okay?" Dylan asked.
"No I'm not. I can't believe them. They don't even know you yet they assume to know how you are. They assume that they know who you are and how you are as a person but they have never gotten to know you it's horrible. I'm sorry, you probably wouldn't want to hear that." Ethan sobbed
"Ethan, it's okay, you don't need to get worked up. It's just me and its impossible to like me I know." Dylan said awkwardly patting the younger man on the shoulder.
"Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools - Napoleon Bonaparte." Ethan said
"Perhaps." Dylan replied.
