Modern AU, E/C. Dr. Erik Riley had always been alone, with few exceptions - he'd expected to remain that way indefinitely. However, an administrative error forced a young medical student into his life, setting in motion a series of events that would change the both of them forever, if only he would allow himself to overcome his own troubled past.

It started with a kiss on the lips of a hooded stranger in a back alley and ended with heartbreak from one blonde billionaire. One night of comfort between 'secret' friends, drowning their sorrows, and choices made in the haze of a blissful night has turned their world upside. Nothing will ever be the same! Set after Season 6 Hydro and Justice, AU after that point. Clois/Lexana
