Here is a slexie fic for all you obsessed people out there! I've been wanting to write one for ages. Then there were already ones for the junkie Lex and the valentines one before I could get writing, and they all went ways I would have written them. So instead, I've turned what could well become a Jackson/Lexie (God, I hate writing those names together) moment into a Slexie moment because Mark needs to wake up and I'm losing patience!

Chapter 1
"You still love her" Mark paused and looked over at Jackson "You still love Lexie"
It was a statement, not a question. Jackson remained silent. The last person he wanted to talk to about this was Mark.
"Come on Jackson, that's an even bigger reason to go out with someone else, you've got to move on."
"Like you did you mean?" He asked, beginning to get annoyed, he just wished that Mark would shut up and soon. "Yeah like I did" replied Mark, confused by Jackson's tone. "I mean, now I have Julia and things are going gr-"
"Don't kid yourself" Jackson cut him off. Mark turned to face him full on, ready for a confrontation. "And what is that supposed to mean exactly?"
"N-Nothing, forget I said anything" Jackson backtracked. He didn't want to start an argument with Mark, he'd been a good friend to him recently and a great teacher, he didn't want to lose that. But when it came to the Lexie/Mark thing it really brought out the bad side in him.
"No you meant something. So tell me" Mark urged. "Look I didn't mean anything, OK? Jackson replied, just hoping Mark would drop it. "I'm sorry I said anything, I-I can't talk about this with you, I just can't"
Mark kind of saw his point but he wasn't going to stop. He wanted to know why Jackson had said what he had. "OK, I'm sorry I brought up Lexie, and I'm sorry that she dumped you. But that doesn't give you the right to say stuff about my relationship with Julia, you don't know anything about it"
Jackson gave a sarcastic laugh. "Oh don't I? I'm sure by now she has told you she loves you, and its odds on that you haven't reciprocated." From the look on Mark's face he knew he was right. "Which means I know everything anyone needs to know about your 'relationship' because I've been in the same position and I can tell you now that she's not in the dark, she knows. OK? I mean, you don't even try and hide it either of you, so of course she knows, the whole hospital does, everybody knows!" Jackson wasn't sure he was overly coherent anymore but he ploughed on nonetheless. "And Lexie didn't dump me, I broke up with her, because I wasn't staying in a relationship with someone who can never, not even for a second, stop thinking about someone else. And she tried to deny it, she really did, but at the end of the day she just watched me walk away. So OK, yeah Mark, I still love Lexie, I'll admit it, now it's your turn!"
The elevator pinged and the doors opened, allowing Jackson to escape, before looking back to see Mark frozen to the spot, looking utterly flabbergasted as the doors closed between them.
Sorry the first installment is really really short but elavators don't take too long, so its more of a taster of what's to come.
