This is the third oneshot in the collection: Ethan and Honey as asked for by E-is for evil. This one may be a bit short and not very good because, sorry to all you that do, but I don't ship Hethan, I never have! I will try my best with it though to try and make one all you Hethan shippers will enjoy. As you may have realised, I'm just writing these in the order I feel comfortable with, not the order they were requested in so sorry if yours takes longer than you would like to be uploaded. Please keep reviewing and PM me with any oneshots you would like written. You can also get me on Twitter or Instagram at xoNicolaxox and tell me through there! Anyway, I hope you all like this one.

It was Valentine's Day. The most romantic day of the year. Honey was serving half decent coffees while admiring the handsome doctor at reception. She had had three Valentine's card already today and it wasn't even midday! Receiving three Valentine's cards would make most women ecstatic, but not Honey. She was disappointed, as none of the cards were from the man she desperately wanted one to be from.
Honey saw him approaching and took a deep breath to compose herself. She always got a little flustered around him.
'Hi, eh, can I have a triple espresso, please.' He asked ever so politely.
'Of course Ethan.' Honey smiled and made the coffee, glad the machine was behind her and she could turn around. She was sure she felt her cheeks turn crimson.
'Thank you.' Ethan took the cup and handed her the money, their hands touching, just slightly, on each occasion. 'I'll, eh, see you around.' With that, he turned around and went back to saving people's lives.
Several long hours later, Honey was still serving espressos and cappuccinos to happy nurses, moody doctors and moaning patients. She hadn't saw Ethan since he came for his triple espresso earlier this morning.
As she was staring into her Ethan Hardy filled dream world she never noticed a hooded man move around the desk and stand next to her.
'Open the till.' His low, masculine voice demanded. Honey snapped out of her daydream and frantically looked around terrified.
'W...What?'
'You heard me tea lady, open it.' That was when she spotted the gun that tightly resided in his left hand, concealed from the view of everyone around them.
As Honey's shaking hands were fumbling with the keys on the till, Ethan looked over from his stance at reception and instantly knew something wasn't right. He cautiously walked over, silently signalling security on the way. Just as the till popped open Ethan lunged at the man from behind, earning himself a bloody nose and black eye from the barrel of the falling gun before security grabbed the man and hauled him away.
'It's okay, you're safe.' Ethan wrapped his arms around the trembling woman, trying his best to comfort her. It wasn't something he was normally any good at.
'I'm so glad I'm not staying in this place any longer.' Honey wiped away her tears and reluctantly stepped away from Ethan's embrace.
'Wh..What do you mean?'
'My grandma's ill. She fell down the stairs and fractured her hip, I have to go look after her at her cottage in Chesire.'
'Well, when are you leaving? How long for?' Ethan felt like his heart had just been ripped in two.
'My train leaves tonight. It may be months before I can come back..'
'Right..eh..I have to..yeah..' And with that Ethan walked off, not even glancing back at the woman he was about to lose.
The end of shift had arrived and Honey strolled out of the department, taking one glance back and thinking about how much her life had changed since she arrived all those months ago. Suddenly she saw the gorgeous Dr Hardy running out of the ED and towards her.
'Honey, Honey wait.' He came to a halt in front of her and took her hands. 'There's something I have to say before you go. I'm in love with you. Completely and utterly head over heels in love with you and I wish I had told you earlier. That's something I'll live to regret for the rest of my life. I just had to tell you before you left.' She sighed a heavy sigh and pushed his black framed glasses up towards his bruised eye.
'I love you too Ethan but that doesn't change anything. I have to go and look after my grandma.' Honey placed a soft kiss on the doctors lips and placed a Valentine's card in his pocket. 'I'll always be there for you, if you ever need anything. Goodbye Dr Hardy.' She turned and walked away from the man she loved without even a glance back.
'I'll be there for you too, always.' Ethan watched her until she had turned the corner and sauntered back into the department where he would later find the card and remember the woman he had blown his chance with.
(I'm not completely happy with how this has turned out but I hope you all like it anyway. I don't know much about coffee either so I hope all that information was correct!)
