Stranger things have happened
Cristina Yang did NOT do feelings. When it came to arguments about medical procedures that was a no brainer. But when it came to talks about feelings, she would rather avoid the conversation entirely. Maybe that's why she's avoiding Teddy Altman. For some reason fate is hell bent on making her have inappropriate relationships with her teachers. To say she was a robot, she was a wanted robot. All she wanted to do was see if Teddy was okay she didn't want to make-out with her in an on-call room but that's what happened anyway. So now (the next day), she was trying her best to avoid the dirty blonde attending. It was easier the she expected. It was a slow day so she took the opportunity to catch up on paperwork but being the overachiever she was, she finished within an hour. Now she was bored and when she was bored she thought and she didn't want to think, especially about teddy.
"Okay I need something to get my mind off it." Cristina said out loud.
"Get your mind off what?" Jackson questioned strolling up to the nurse's station she was sitting at. "Get your mind off the fact that I'm scrubbing in with Altman and you're not." He teased before she can answer.
"Jackson I don't care if you're scrubbing in and I don't care about Teddy." Cristina snapped at him.
"Woah did you guys get into a fight or something." Jackson questioned turning serious. Cristina could see his protective side come out and she knew she would have to put a stop to it either that or he just didn't feel like standing in an OR listening to Teddy rant about her for hours. She guessed it's the latter.
"No we didn't, I'm just trying to distract myself." She informed vaguely.
"Distract yourself from what?" Meredith questioned joining the duo. Cristina inwardly sighed, she needed to get away from them especially Meredith. She would clearly see something wrong with and pester her about it until she talked and she didn't want to talk.
"Umm…The fact that I don't have any surgeries." She informed her blonde friend.
"Oh yeah that sucks" Meredith sympathized with a nod as she returned a chart to the holder.
"You could always watch in the gallery." Jackson suggested with a smirk.
"Watch you screw up a first year level surgery? I would rather…" Her insult was caught off by a flash of dirty blonde hair turning the corridor. Without a second thought, she fled leaving two very confused residents in her wake. She had no idea where she was headed but decided to simply let her feet subconsciously take her away…
Meanwhile, Teddy sighed as she watched Cristina practically race down the corridor leaving a confused looking Grey and Avery behind. She tried desperately to focus on what Arizona was saying but she simply had too much on her mind.
"Theodora Altman are you even listening?" Arizona questioned her friend feigning hurt. Teddy inwardly cringed at the use of her full name.
"What…Oh sorry Ari I just have a lot on my mind." She apologized as they walked to the cafeteria.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" Arizona chirped, voice laced with concern. Teddy sighed, she didn't like worrying her friend and the need to tell someone was slowly making her insane.
"Okay I just wanna start by saying that this is not a big deal. I know it may sound…big but it's not." Teddy started as they got in the lunch line.
"Geez you're starting to freak me out." Arizona joked. Her smile wavered slightly when Teddy didn't even crack a smile.
Teddy couldn't help but fidget as they sat at a small secluded table outside, soaking up the rare Seattle sun. She had no idea how to start.
"Okay just spit it out." Arizona pressed as she shoved a fork full of salad into her mouth.
Well this is it, no guts no glory. "I kissed Cristina in an on-call room yesterday and now she's avoiding me." Teddy said in a rush knowing if it came out at a normal pace Arizona would have quickly stopped her mid-sentence. Arizona nearly choked on her salad.
"Umm I'm sorry can you say that again, you did what?" The perky blonde exclaimed loudly causing everyone's attention to shift to them.
"Thanks for the news broadcast." Teddy hissed at the guilty looking peds surgeon who mumbled an apology.
"But seriously Teddy, you can't just say you screwed Cristina in an on-call room and expect me to just brush it off. How did this even happen?"
Teddy couldn't help but blush, something she didn't do often. "Well yesterday I lost my patient and she came to see if I was okay. I know she's a known suck-up but she really cared. I don't know I just couldn't stop and we kissed. We didn't have sex." Teddy explained though the thought of sleeping with Cristina sounded very appealing. Oh please Teddy, she's not even talking to you.
"But you want to." Arizona gave her friend a knowing look before turning serious "How did she react?"
"She was fine, her usual cocky sarcastic self. Then she got paged by Bailey and left." She recounted with a shrug before plucking a french-fry in her mouth
"She's avoiding you isn't she?" The blonde questioned before sipping her soda. By the look Teddy gave her she took it as a yes.
"Look Cristina is…sarcastic and mocking and sometimes just plain cocky. I don't know much about her personally and I practically live with her. If I were you I would ask Grey. But I do know she is a good person under all the arrogance and I really think she'll be good for you. But I'm still in shock."
Teddy was touched by her friend's words but before you could thank her for the encouragement a pager went off.
"Oh time to give a tiny human a new lease on life" Arizona moved from the table, her half eaten lunch now forgotten and also leaving her friend with a new mission.
If I were Grey where would I be?
