"Meredith," you hear him whisper across the bed, and your name sounds so perfect on his lips that you open your eyes to look at the strewn body that lie across your tangled sheets.
But it's hard to see him as you barely make out his masculine silhouette in the silent darkness of the pitch-black room around you, but you don't care because at least you know he is there, and that's all it takes for you to give in.
"Hmm," you grumble, not having the energy to say anything more.
"I can't sleep," he whispers, his deep voice reaching its highest point in attempt to show you how desperate he is. And the look on his face tells you that maybe he is slightly desperate, desperate for something to hold onto, something to look at, or maybe something to just love.
"And why can't you sleep Dr. Shepherd?" you ask him, a weak smile playing out on your lips, and even if this isn't the time for jokes, you say it anyway, just because you felt like it.
"Because you're not beside me," he says as if he had the whole situation planned out for weeks, and you wonder if maybe he had planned this.
"Well why don't you fix that little problem and then maybe we can both sleep in peace," you tell him, the smile on your face becoming larger with your words on impact.
And as he crawls across the bed, taking you in his arms and holding you against his bare chest, you try to imagine your life without him.
"This is so much better," he whispers against your ear, his hot breath causing bumps to rise on your body and causing you to reach out for something more than just a piece of his heart, but maybe something larger as in a piece of his soul.
"Yeah. It is."
And you know, without him, you'd have no life at all.

Author's Note: This fic just came to me today when I was watching the 3rd episode of the first season. I really, really, really miss the Derek and Meredith from the first season. But I'm just sitting here and waiting until that old Derek and Meredith will be back. Let's just hope all of our Derek and Meredith fans don't give up hope on them.
