“Karev, you good?”

He offers up a quick one shouldered shrug.

Aims for causal; nonchalant.

Fails dismally.

“Because it’s okay you know… if you’re not.... good.”

He frowns. Feigns confusion despite unbridled clarity.

The elevator doors slide to a smooth close and Jackson disappears into the void. A faded mirage of pity and concern.

Fuck.

He doesn’t want to be this person. He’s never been this person. He spent his whole life running from becoming this person.

He makes a vow with himself, jabs a finger at the call button.

This time… this time he’ll get in...

... maybe.

Okay, seriously, they better go here.

You blow me away.

Also, I really want these two to have more scenes together.

Okay, seriously, they better go here. Um, hell yes. They totally need to bond over being the only two surviving males from their intern cohort. That, right there? That is heavy drinking session quality material...!

Thanks!

I don't suppose there's any chance that you're going to write THAT?

You know what? I wrote out that scenario and fic didn't even cross my mind... fic always crosses my mind! So glad you're here to point out the obvious!!!
