It was a few days later, a Sunday afternoon drop off of a kid that have tried to put various pieces of lego up his nose, that Stuart saw him again. By some miracle, it was the first time that they’d returned to the hospital they’d left Ash at two nights previously, and while the EMT had caught himself wondering about the last patient he’d left there, he really hadn’t expected to see him. Ash would have been discharged the same night, after all.
Two stitches above his eyebrow, but the same smile on his face, he cornered Stuart outside the hospital building as he was heading back to the ambulance.
“I wanted to thank you for looking after me the other night.”
Stuart shook his head. “All in a day’s work.”
“Yeah, well… Thanks anyway.”
“Have you been waiting here since Friday to tell me that?”
“When I’ve not been working.” Ash shrugged. There was something awkward about the way he held himself; for a shorter man, he made Stuart feel like he towered over him. That was just a trick though, Stuart wasn’t naïve and Ash probably got plenty of customers if he appeared submissive and stroked a few egos.
“You were very gentle with me, more than the doctor that gave me these.” He gestured to the stitches. “I thought I could thank you properly.”
And there it was. He slid into Stuart’s personal space, somehow taking him by enough surprise that when he stepped back his heels bumped into the wall.
“No, it’s okay. I don’t…” He shook his head, but whatever he was going to say he didn’t want nor do, he was silenced by warm lips against his.
When he got back to the ambulance he kept rubbing the back of his head, remembering how rough the wall was, how it caught his hair like Velcro. Rachid wouldn’t stop giving him the kind of looks that made him wonder if anyone had seen. Could he get fired for kissing a prostitute?
Thinking about anything that he could occupy his mind with, as long as he didn’t remember the flicker of Ash’s tongue across his lips before he pulled away, and the card with his phone number that he’d slipped into Stuart’s trouser pocket. The card that he carefully slid behind his blood donor card in his wallet for safe keeping the first chance he got. The card with the phone number he definitely wouldn’t be calling…

... *makes dolphin noises*
First thing let me tell you that I was so uber-excited when I saw what fandom it was because seriously SIRENS. There's not enough of that around and I loved that show so much, so just the fandom wins. But omg this was awesome. Stuart was *so* Stuart in this, oh dear. I just could hear every line, especially at the beginning when he complained about having to stay in the back of the ambulance. Bless. And Maxine showing up was awesome. Also omg Stuart actually being sort of nice (as far as he gets I suppose) with Ash. Also
“Hi Stuart, I’m Ash. I’m going to be your patient.”
Fuck. Fucking Scottish twang. No wonder Maxine was so keen on him.
Okay, I kind of died at that. The dialogue was amazing, seriously. And the reference to the alpha thing about had me chucking like crazy. (At least Rashid wasn't weighing in on that I suppose...) and omg Ash actually waiting for him outside the hospital was the sweetest thing and I love that he just totally went with it and caught Stuart off guard. And the last paragraph was pure win - you tell yourself you're not going to call him, Stuart.... XDDD no seriously I loved this, thank you so much! ♥ *makes starry eyes again*
I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! I really enjoyed writing it too! Its been so long since I last turned my hand to fanfic, but this came out so naturally. I'm completely in love with Stuart, so much so that Rhys Thomas is pretty much my happy place now (honestly, I can watch pretty much anything with him in and be happy). I wish they would make a second season of Sirens though, there's so much left for them to cover yet.
