Ronan sat with Colonel Shepperd after wasting a few hours on a training session with him, he stood and excused himself choosing to ignore Shepperds remark

"Say hi to the Doc for me"

Ronan knocked on the door of Carson quarters and opened the door after he heard Carson yell

"Aye, come in"

Ronan stepped into the modest room , noticing that the standard bed was surrounded with books, dozens of books stacked on top of each other in hazard piles with coffee cups and pens, files and note books on the top.

Ronan looked around for Carson, found him with his back to him digging through a duffle bag, his back was exposed, his tattooed spine bending like his real one as he tried to find a clean shirt to pull on. His track pants he had slept in clinged to his hips as he stood upright and turned around

"Oh, Ronan lad" he exclaimed "Everything ok?" he added

"Yes" Ronan answered crossing the small room and stopped just short of the smaller man

"Close your eyes" Ronan asked

Carson gave Ronan a confused look but after a moment lowered his eye lids non the less.

Ronan placed one hand on the side of Carsons face and stepping closer until his chest was almost flush with the doctors he leant forward and placed two feather light kisses onto each closed eye lid.

Carson voice hitched in his throat and a surprised snort of breath intake escaped his lips but Ronan softly hushed him and continued to place chaste kisses onto Carson face but avoiding the Scotman's lips.

"Ronan" moaned the overwhelmed man as his senses became filled with the feel and smell of another being but when Ronan answered with a deep chuckling laughter Carsons eyes snapped open and he stepped away with a panic on his face

"Carson" Ronan stated reaching for him again

"What the hell was that? I know your upset that you and the Colonel haven't figured things out yet lad but this is wrong"

"Colonel Shepperd?" Ronan asked confused

"Aye"

"Colonel Shepperd!" Ronan repeated

"Aye, after all this work you've put for him"

"Carson, you are so determined not to see it aren't you?"

"See what lad"

"My life love is not Colonel Shepperd"

"Who is it?"

Ronan smiled patiently at his life love, he stepped forward and after pulling Carson flush against him with a firm hand on his hip

"Please Carson, don't fight me anymore" He placed his other hand at the base of Carson's neck and gently played with the hair at the nape where it was starting to curl and need a cut.

"Don't think, don't over think it, don't do anything" Ronan answered as he gently placed a chaste kiss to the left of Carson's lips then to the right side.

"Ronan" Carson muttered weakly

"Its not wrong Carson, its what was meant to be" Ronan added as he placed a kisses along his jaw

"Meant to be" Carson answered distractedly

"love isn't wrong"

"Love isn't wrong" he added as kisses reached his neck and collar bones

"That's right love" Ronan soothed as he looked Carson in the eyes

"Ok?" he asked wanting the doctors full permission

"Aye" Carson sighed

Ronan leant in until his breath ticked Carsons lips and Carson could feel the warmth radiating off the other mans lips. When Ronan didn't lean further forward Carson licked his lips and in a swift fast motion he placed both his arms around Ronan neck and brought their lips together.

Both men sighed into the kiss, Carson saw images flashing in front of his closed eyes. He saw drawings on pale skin, his tattoos at odd angles and a new one he hasn't got, a celtic R placed above his wrist. As quick as it came the images were gone, Ronan saw his own tan hand holding a pale hand but his hand had a small drawing inbetween the thumb and index finger, a decorative C.

Carson stepped back and looked into the dark eyes in front of him, he looked down blushing slightly.

"Do you understand now?" Ronan asked placing a hand on Carson's heart

"You feel it?" he added

Carson's cheeks blushed increased as he nodded lightly

Ronan flashed a smile that expressed his happiness at finally finding his life love. He wrapped his arm around Carson waist and pulled him closer

"Good" he sighed before placing another kiss on his lips briefly, he sat down on the Doctors bed and pulling the Scot down with him, Ronan leant back on one muscler arm and held Carson firmly on his lap with the other. Carson had one leg either side of Ronan's thighs, his knees bent and his leg almost folded underneath him.

"When do you go back on shift" he asked

"Not for a few hours" Carson admitted

"Good" Ronan repeated as he moved his hand from Carson hip to his neck and sitting up slightly captured Carson lips in a kiss that was more intense and passionate than the previous sweet ones. Ronan did not want to push Carson too far but the electric shoots that ran down his body when Carson started to kiss him back with enthusaiam was too much to resist. He begged entrance to Carson mouth and when the smaller man sighed allowing it both men moaned when their tounges slide against each other for the first time.

When the lack of oxygen finally became an issue Ronan pulled back and smiled at his love happily

"Good" Carson answered
