"Unbelievable, Karev," Addison fumed as she and Alex exited the OR.

"Oh, come on. He was about to die because his abusive father beat his mother into premature labor and death."

God, she could be so annoying sometimes. Her hair is probably red because her venom overload seeped into it.

"Okay, so we don't try to save the baby," she stated sarcastically.

"If he was aware of the situation, would he want to be saved?"

"Every single person, no matter if it's a lost cause, if they are a serial killer, if you're making them wake up to a horrible life, we need to try to save them. We can't make the decision to purposely end someone's life without their permission."

"Whatever." He wouldn't admit she was right. He was above that.

There was fire coming out of her eyes now. He never knew dragons could look so good.

"Unbelievable. You have no respect. This is your job!"

He said something back, but he didn't really register what it was. He was just watching her lips, her eyes, her strong cheekbones…He subconsciously noted that she had stopped talking. Their eyes locked, both full of ego and righteousness. Battle cries were playing in the background.

Then the tension just snapped, and they were backing into the on call room behind them. The words "stupid interns screwing their stupid attendings" were playing mildly in the back of Alex's head, but at that moment, he didn't really care, as they shed their clothes and he stuck his hand into the magical left hand pocket of his lab coat.

"Crap. I cannot even believe…" Addison rolled her eyes at herself as she hooked her bra back on.

"Aww. It wasn't that bad, was it?" Alex did his signature smirk, not knowing what kind of response it would get.

"Get over yourself." Alex suppressed a grin, satisfied with the small smile he got out of Addison at his last remark. "I'm turning into my ex-husband," she muttered to herself.

Alex heard, though. "Well, I already know that you were married." The look he got back was enough to shut him up while they finished getting dressed.

After they were without the distraction of various body parts showing, they faced each other.

"Can we just say it never happened and will never happen again?" Alex nodded. "Good. Make sure to get the labs for Geraldine Sullivan, and then you can catch up on charts." She turned on her heel and left the room, leaving him alone.
