Author: Alright, this is the first thing that I have written in forever. It's going to be a series of Lexie/Sloan moments, with perhaps some other couples tossed in for the fun of it. I have come to adore this couple, and I might not right a lot of dialogue because I am forever horrified of screwing them up. Anyways, I do hope that everyone enjoys this. They will come in sets of three, so here is the first.
Were
They were happy.
It was one of the things she would always remember when she looked back upon their relationship. They had always been happy together, even when she caused him pain. Even when the hostile environment closed in around them, they had been happy.
Then he asked her to move in.
Then George died.
Then... things didn't change.
Changed
No one had been able to change him. He was a man whore who slept with everyone that he could. He drank too much, and most of the time he didn't care about anyone else but himself, and perhaps Derek, but she changed him.
She, Lexie Grey, changed him, Mark Sloan.
He cared, when she was around. He only slept with her, and he hardly ever went out drinking. They were strong. They were right. They were.
Three
"I love you."
He had never said those words to anyone else, and he doubted that he ever would. Lexie was something special. She was someone who cared about him and respected him. She was someone, and that was definitely better than no one.
Of course, in the silence that followed his statement, he wondered if those three little words had been too much.
