Obligations
Chapter 5

Category: Angst.
Summary: Luka. Luka. Luka.
Disclaimer: Don't own Luka/ER.

Happens around Season 9.

A/N: Carter and Abby have broken up some time ago (Or Carter got run over… flown over by a helicopter or already fell in love with some woman and moved to Africa, any way you like it) in this story, because I didn't like that. So they're just friends.
A/N: Every time I was supposed to write the word "sofa" I wrote "soda" instead. Isn't that funny. A little funny like that. I wanted to finish this story before I went away for a while, so here's the final chapter (Or I'd rather call it a short epilogue as it's. Short.), at least for now. Unless I have a sudden impulse to continue this. Or make a sequel. Don't know. But anyway, thanks to anyone who read this and sent comments! This was my first fan fiction. Thank you, thank you!
And oh, I'm sorry Amy hun, this isn't probably as dark as you'd like, but you can imagine Luka buying a gun after this and blowing his brains out. Or something. But that wouldn't be very nice now? I think? God this author's note is longer than the actual chapter. Here I shut up.

-Virva


She's still here. I fell asleep on the sofa. I feel a little tired. Just a little tired.

I sit on the sofa. She's in the kitchen. I can hear her making coffee.

My moves are a bit slow.

She smiles good morning at me.

"Thought you'd like some coffee."

"Mmm-hmm." I feel strangely at peace. But it's not… it's not the peace I usually experience. I think I have mistaken the numbness that ensues after the first drink to peace. This is... just peace. Just peace.

Or I felt at peace before I realized that I have a massive hangover. But I don't really care. I don't want a thing that insignificant ruining this sudden. Sudden something. Or maybe it's not sudden? It feels like.

"Are you on today?" She's reaching for the cups. We need cups so that we can drink coffee from them.

"Nope." The patients are lucky today. I guess.

She takes a yellow cup and a red cup. With white stripes. She places them on the table and smiles slightly.

"I didn't remember that I'd left this cup at your place. I've been looking for it for a while."

"I didn't know you were looking for it."

She smiles. I smile. We smile.
