Alex carefully covered his crotch with his hands as he slowly began to step away from the locked door and down the hospital hallway. He didn't know where he was going, but he knew he had to move before someone caught him like this. He quickly weighed out his options, which were few, as he continued to rehash over what had just happened. He was so engrossed in his thinking that he hadn't even noticed when…
George: "Alex?!"
Alex: "You have got to be kidding me."
Alex bowed his head to the ground in embarrassment whilst George began laughing uncontrollably. If there was one person Alex hadn't wanted to run into – It was George, who was now barely able to speak through his laughter.
George: "I never pegged you as much of a streaker…"
Alex: "I'm not streaking you idiot!"
George: "Why are you roaming through the halls naked then?"
Alex: "Izzie… She locked me out of the on-call room."
George: "Naked?"
Alex: "Yes, O'Malley. Naked."
George: "But… Why did you leave the room naked?!"
Alex: "I didn't mean to, George! I couldn't see where I was going!"
George: "How could you not s-"
Alex: "I was blindfolded, okay?! I had to follow her voice around the freaking room and I followed it right out the freaking door because I was freaking blindfolded!"
George instantly fell to the floor with laughter as Alex burned red with embarrassment. He stared down at George as he thought about hitting him. He then realized that hitting George would involve moving his hands away from covering his dick, and he certainly wasn't about to give George the satisfaction of seeing that too – especially when it was this cold.
George: "She got you good. She got you real good."
Alex: "Dude. Can you just give me some clothes?"
George: "I know this may be hard to believe, but I don't just carry clothes around in my pocket."
Alex: "What about your scrubs?"
George: "Great, and then I'm the naked one."
Alex: "You'd have your boxers at least."
George: "Not happening."
Alex: "Damn it, George! What am I supposed to do then? If I go down that hallway, then I'm gonna end up naked in front of the whole freaking cafeteria, and if I go down that one, I'm gonna end up naked in front of the whole freaking nurses station! So please, tell me, what am I supposed to do?"
George: "You could, um, cover yourself back up..."
Alex had gotten so worked up and carried away with his rant that he had actually used both his hands to point toward the places he was saying. He had completely uncovered himself in the process and given George a full-blown view of his penis. George nudged his head towards the problem as Alex finally looked down and became aware.
Alex: "Shit!"
George: "Is it cold down here?"
Alex: "Shut up, O'Malley!"
George: "I totally get why you're always so moody now."
Alex: "I am not small, George! It is cold. It is really freaking cold. If I had known that I was going to be roaming around the cold halls butt-fucking-naked all day, then I would have prepared, but I didn't. And now, I'm about to be caught in the nude by the entire freaking hospital and I've just flashed the one person in here who will never let me forget it. I'm not bragging, and I don't even like that I'm talking about my god damn penis with you, but I'm not small. It's just really freaking cold."
George: "Calm down, I believe you!"
Alex: "Good. Now can we please just get me some clothes?!"
George: "I guess I might have some clothes in my locker."
Alex: "Are you kidding me?! There's no way I can make it to the locker room without being seen!"
George: "These hallways are about to get very busy in the next ten minutes. There's no way you can stay here without being seen. You can either stay here and wait for that to happen, or chance it with the elevator. Your call."
Alex: "Damn it."
The two walked over to the elevator, George in front as Alex tip-toed behind him, ready to run in the chance that someone come. They stepped inside and Alex squeezed himself as far back into the corner as he could whilst George pressed the floor button.
George: "I'm sure that no one will actually be there, but just to be safe, I'd probably just run as fast as you can when the doors open…"
Alex: "You're sure there's no one there though, right?"
George: "Um... 87% sure?"
Alex: "I'll run."
They stood in silence as the elevator made its way to their floor, both of them painfully aware of the awkward atmosphere around them. George stood smiling to himself, amused by the situation, whilst Alex's head remained bowed to the ground in shame, cupping his crotch with his hands and still blushing with embarrassment. Alex's heart thumped in his chest as the elevator slowly came to a halt.
George: "You ready?"
Alex: "Do I have a choice?"
The doors flew open and Alex lunged from the elevator out into the hallways. He ran toward the locker room as fast as he could when he suddenly heard laughter erupt from behind him. He quickly turned around to see... He was on the wrong floor.
Alex: "Wait... What the?! O'Malley! You pressed for the freaking lobby?!"
Alex quickly turned around to face the elevator, bolting towards it, just in time to witness George collapse on the ground with laughter. He made it back to the elevator just as the doors closed shut. He stood in front of them, wide-eyed and shocked, whilst crowds of patients and doctors formed around him like an audience, each with their own shocked faces and loud laughter. He could feel the flashes of cameras surrounding him as he turned to look at his audience. He gave a half shy smile, as if pretending to be unfazed by the incident.
Alex: "Okay, okay. Nothing to see here. Move it along people."
He tried, but it was no use. He was blushing bright red. He was humiliated. Again...
