This idea popped in my head, so I decided to write it. But this is my first fanfiction, so please don't be too harsh in reviews. Constructive criticism is always appreciated though. I hope you enjoy it. It takes place about a month after the kiss, but there was no pact with Mark.

Addison walked furiously through the hallway in desperate need of an on call room. She had been working for 36 hours straight, and the coffee boost she had about four hours ago was quickly wearing off. Apparently there was very little to do for everyone on call tonight, because she had tried every on call room except for one so far, and all of them were occupied for one reason…or another.
God please let this be empty. She thought to herself as she quietly turned the knob and peeked in the room, just in case there was someone sleeping in it. Of course not, she groaned as she was shutting the door.
"Dr. Montgomery?" she heard from a familiar voice just as she was pulling the door closed.
She pushed the door back open and took in his appearance. He was still in his scrub pants, but had taking off his scrub shirt along with his shoes, and laid propped up on his elbows in a white tank top staring directly at her. She met his eyes, and responded, "Yes, Karev, sorry I woke you, I was just looking for somewhere to lay down."
Although most people saw him as an egotistical ass, he had his moments when he was a gentleman, especially with the women he liked. They were mainly brief moments, but always sentimental. Like when he told Izzie to make a wish on her eyelash, or when he had told Addison that he would notice her missing. He wasn't nice to just anybody, but he had grown quite fond of Addison Montgomery over the past few months working with her. He wasn't sure what it was, but he knew, at the very least, he respected her, which consequently led to his 'nice guy' side coming out.
Alex had just found this on call room about 10 minutes ago, and was aware of the limited space, so decided to give up the bed. "You know, there aren't any other rooms open, you can just take this one," he said as he sat up getting ready to leave, "and I'll go…catch up on paper work."
Pleased by the offer, but reluctant to accept Addison said, "No, don't be silly, you found it first and you've been working just as hard as I have, I'll just wait until one opens up."
"No, really, it's no big deal. Please, I insist, take the bed," Alex stated with sincerity.
Addison thought for a second before suggesting, "Well ya know Karev, we are both adults here…we could just share the bed." Did I just say that out loud? What was I thinking…share the bed…oh my God. Just say you were kidding and leave.
"What?" he said not hiding the surprise in his voice. Then he was immediately hit with the thoughts of Bed. Addison. Bed. Addison. You idiot, why did you question her.
Being pulled from his thoughts, "Well, we're friends, right?," Addison asked, receiving a nod from Alex. "So it just makes sense if we share it. We're both tired and that way we both get to sleep." What is wrong with you? That was not the plan, now you're actually trying to convince him to get into bed with you…although you wouldn't mind him in bed with you…no no, wrong thought…
"Erm...ok, I guess I'm fine with that, if you are?"
"It was my idea," she said, hiding any hint of hesitation.
"Oh, right. Ok then, I guess make yourself comfortable," Alex said with a smile as he kicked his shoes back off and scooted as close to the wall as he could to give her enough room.
Addison, who had changed into scrubs knowing she was going to want to lay down, pulled off her scrub top, revealing her black camisole underneath, and stepped out of her shoes. Alex couldn't help but stare at the beautiful woman before him, but quickly changed his line of sight as she turned around to get on the bed.
"You know we should probably lock the door, because if anyone sees us they will probably jump to conclusions," Addison said remembering that Seattle Grace thrived on gossip.
"Yea, that's probably a good idea," Alex replied, and Addison took a step over and locked the door.
Then she finally settled into the bed next to Alex, lying on her side, facing away from him. About ready to close her eyes, she said one last thing, "Don't push me off."
Now Alex Karev might be getting a little soft around Addison Montgomery, but he was still bold, and more importantly still a man. So he replied by wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her closer and then saying, "Don't worry, I won't."
Addison was surprised by the gesture, but having Alex's arm around her felt too comforting to want to push it away. And Alex was expecting nothing but her shoving off his arm, and was pleasantly surprised when he felt her actually cuddled a little closer. Now having her butt pressing against his hips, and his chest barely brushing her back, they both quickly fell asleep with smiles covering both their faces.
Please review if you like it, I'm new so I could use the encouragement to update.
