County General, Chicago

Carter was just coming off a rough shift. He'd lost 3 patients, one of them a little girl. This was one of those days that made Carter think if medicine was the right thing for him. Deep down he knew it was but still, everyone has doubts once in a while. Walking into the doctors' lounge, he sat down, rubbed his eyes and then sat quietly resting his head in his hands, deciding on whether or not to start crying. Then he heard water running from the doctors' bathroom. It didn't happen too often that any of the doctors showered at the hospital, they were too shy probably, he thought to himself. Nevertheless someone was using the shower now.

The door was slightly open, steam coming out from the bathroom. Carter tried not to look, but something was urging him, and he felt it hard to resist taking a peak in there. Suddenly he saw a strong, finely toned back, broad shoulders and strong biceps, a perfect shaped ass olive-tinted skin and short dark silky hair. It was dr. Luka Kovac.

Carter felt an instant reaction, getting a semi-erection just by the quick glance at Luka. Carter opened his eyes wide, rubbing his face again, trying to come to terms with this unexpected reaction. Perhaps he was just needy, he had been celibate for 3 months, and the more he thought about, tried to justify it, Luka was very attractive; dark brooding looks, tall, muscular, sensual lips and that erotic accent that almost sounded like a purr when Luka was trying to talk Carter into something. Carter grinned at this, thinking about how many women Luka had seduced with that voice. Carter reasoned that Luka probably didn't even have to open his mouth before women were queuing up. Luka was irresistible. Thoughts like these didn't calm Carter down; his arousal was only getting more intense. Carter reasoned with himself inside his head. For Chris sakes; Luka was the great womanizer, he could never be attracted to another man. To Carter.

Finally the water was turned off, and Luka emerged with just a towel around his waist.

"Oh Carter. I didn't know you were here, I thought it was empty" Luka said.

Carter shrugged and shook his head lightly, crossing his legs to hide his arousal:

"Um no… Sorry Luka... Do you want me to leave?" he said pointing at the door, his eyes locked with Luka's.

"No that's ok" Luka smiled, fondling his towel.

Carter blushed and quickly turned around to give Luka some privacy and time to put on his clothes. Carter couldn't look at Luka without giving away how aroused he was by seeing Luka almost naked. Luka grinned to himself because of Carter's blushing. He then removed the towel, putting on some clothes. There was something about Carter, his sensitivity, the blushing, the way his body was all tense, that made Luka kind of aroused. Carter was very handsome, Luka thought to himself; long, slender, muscular, really attractive. Luka grinned to himself; Hell if he'd known that Carter was in there he would have coaxed him into joining him in the shower. It would be platonic of course, but secretly Luka wanted to get a decent look of Carter's body.

Carter's head was spinning like crazy; Luka was standing 3 feet behind him, all wet, shiny and naked. He could smell the scent of Luka. Carter found himself fantasizing about having been there in the shower with Luka. Touching his muscular body and feeling Luka's hands on his own body. Tasting Luka. Carter licked his lips. His semi-erection had now turned rock-hard, making his pants tight over his crotch. He tried his best to hide it, didn't want Luka to think he was perving on him. Luka noticed Carter squirm in the chair, clearly uncomfortable. Luka found it amusing but at the same time intensely arousing that Carter was doing his best to not look at Luka, even though it was obvious he desperately wanted to. Luka buttoned his shirt, then moved closer to Carter

"You can turn around now Carter", he said, grinning boyishly.

Carter turned around and saw a now fully dressed Luka, smiling at him. Carter didn't notice Luka's semi-erection. Carter looked into Luka's dark eyes, his eyes nearly revealing how much he wanted to feel his lips upon his own. Luka looked back at him, returning the gaze passionately, and his lips wanting the same thing.

Suddenly Dr. Kerry Weaver stepped in.

"Good, you're still here Carter. We're one short, so I wondered if you could cover for dr. Chen" she said in a formal tone.

Carter turned around, thanking God that Luka was fully dressed or else it would have seemed a little strange.

"Sure" he replied giving Weaver a why-not-smile. After all what did he have to come home to? His empty apartment?! He'd rather pull a shift. At least it made him feel less alone.

Carter got to his feet, draping his stethoscope around his neck, and he looked back at Luka and said

"Goodnight Luka. See you tomorrow?"

"No actually you won't" Luka replied sounding kind of disappointed, "I'm going to the Congo tomorrow, remember? Y'know with the alliance des médecins internationale", he looked at Carter and saw disappointment in Carter's eyes.

"Oh" Carter said, remembering that some time ago Luka had told him that he was going to do some volunteer work abroad. Carter had thought it was a great idea, and he'd even thought about doing that himself, but he just hadn't realized that Luka was going to the dangerous Congo and so soon!

"Then… have a good trip I guess," Carter said with sad looking eyes. He continued: "Hey Luka…don't get hurt".

Luka smiled slowly and nodded, "I'll see you when I get back"

Carter nodded and walked out of the room, feeling immensely disappointed his heart sinking in his chest.

A week passed and Carter worked double-shifts to keep his mind from running wild, thinking about Luka. Carter had never felt like this before, he was thinking about Luka all the time and his body was reacting strongly; butterflies in his chest, his heart was beating and he had no appetite. Then suddenly in the middle of a trauma, the phone rang in triage. Jerry picked it up.

"It's for you dr. Carter" he said loudly, standing at the entrance to the operating room.

"Take a message" Carter replied while intubating the patient.

"It's dr. Kovac calling from Africa. He says it's urgent." Jerry replied.

Carter's heart skipped a beat. He really wanted to hear Luka's voice. He looked over at Susan Lewis who was working with him on the patient.

"Can I step out for a sec?" he asked.

"Yeah sure Carter…the patient is stable for now… go!" she replied.

Carter smiled at her gratefully and hurried to the phone.

"Luka?"

"John!" Luka's voice sounded crackling, poor connection.

"Well how is it? Are you ok?" Carter was so happy just hearing Luka's voice and there was a million things he wanted to ask him, but he didn't really get a chance to get it all out before Luka asked:

"Look John… one of the doctors has got malaria, so we're a man short… I was wondering if you'd be interested? I remember you talked about wanting to volunteer yourself" Luka sounded pretty formal but at some point Carter thought he heard hope in Luka's voice.

Carter was completely taken back by the question. It was true, he had thought about volunteering but… right now? After a brief moment he realized that he really wanted to do this and he said to Luka:

"Yeah I'm interested Luka"

"Great" Luka said grinning; "I'll contact the Alliance des médicins internationale and then they will contact you. I'll see you soon"
Luka smiled to himself and then hung up, going directly to talk to one of the other volunteers. He wanted Carter to be there as soon as possible.
