Author's Note: Just some short little bit of fun.

Burns

Cristina gingerly pulled the cloth of her scrubs away from her back. The rubbing of the material against her skin was causing her to wince. Meredith noticed Cristina's uncomfortable expression.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing. There's something wrong with my back."

"Is it sore?"

"No. I think I've got a rash or something on my back." Cristina reached behind her to touch the spot tenderly. She quickly pulled back when the slight pressure of her fingertips caused some stinging.

Meredith placed the clipboard down and took Cristina to an empty medical supply closet, closing the door behind her.

"Okay. Strip and let me take a look."

Cristina carefully lifted her shirt and scrubs over her head. She turned her back towards Meredith to let her look.

"You've got this weird looking burn on your back. What were you doing?"

"Nothing. I must've accidentally brushed against something hot. Just get me something to make it less annoying."

Meredith gave Cristina a look, knowing that she wasn't getting the whole story. She finally gave in and looked around the room for some ointment to relieve the pain. Finding it, she applied some on her finger and tenderly rubbed it over the burns.

"You're going to have to tell me sooner or later, you know," Meredith said as she applied the ointment.

"It's nothing." Cristina put her shirt and scrubs back on and took the little bottle of ointment from Meredith's hand, slipping it into her pocket, and then walked back outside.

"Dr. Hunt, here are the patient's biopsy results," Meredith said, handing over the file. As Owen reached over to grab the file from her hand, Meredith noticed a very peculiar and familiar-looking burn on his arm. "Um, Dr. Hunt, is your arm okay?"

"What?" Owen asked, confused. He looked down at where Meredith was looking and pulled down his sleeve. "Yeah, it's fine. Just accidentally touched something hot. Thank you for the results. Go do your charts," he said, dismissing her and focusing on the paper, and missed the slight raise of Meredith's eyebrow. She quickly exited the room and set about looking for Cristina – that girl had some explaining to do.

Meredith found Cristina in the basement on the cot that they used to hang out on as interns. She had a bag of chips in her lap and a medical book in her hand. Meredith stopped in front of her with her hands on her hips. Cristina slowly looked up from her book.

"Yes?"

"I can't believe you are messing around with Major Owen Hunt and you didn't tell me."

Cristina dropped her book. "What? I have no idea what you're talking about."

"You are such a liar. He's got the same burns as you do. What were you doing? Actually, scratch that. I can guess what you were doing. Where were you doing it?"

Cristina fought to come up with some plausible denial but knew that it was no use. You couldn't lie to your person forever.

"The boiler room…but you better never tell anyone. Not even McDreamy. Or else I'm going to cut off all his hair and he won't be McDreamy any longer."

"Uh huh, whatever… Oh my god. I can't believe it. The boiler room… You really are a dirty, dirty girl. So, how was it?" Meredith plopped next to Cristina onto the bed, awaiting all the juicy details.

"I didn't talk about my sex life before, and I'm not about to now. I'll just say this: it was hot." Meredith and Cristina shared a smile. "Anyways," Cristina continued, "I better go check up on my patient." Cristina grabbed her book and left Meredith on the bed. Meredith reached over to grab the bag of chips Cristina had left behind and munched thoughtfully, wondering if Derek would be up to trying out new parts of the hospital.
