Not That Easy
"So when Dr. Karev went to examine your abdomen, your bowel ruptured." Meredith explained to the the now conscious Sarah Richards.
"The procedure went perfectly, there's nothing to worry about." Bailey added.
"Just as well Sarah," Elijah interrupted, "I'd like you to stay with us over night."
"During surgery your baby showed signs of stress, which is totally normal." Alex added.
"Yes," Elijah picked back up, "the stress levels should be back down to normal after you rest up a bit. I just want to keep an eye on him tonight, if that's alright."
Elijah smiled as Mr. and Mrs. Richards thanked each one of them. Alex assigned one of his interns to keep an eye on her and page the two of them if anything went wrong. Elijah was looking through charts and making a few adjustments to his other patient's medications when he looked up to find Alex Karev leaning on the counter next to him.
"Can I help you Dr. Karev?" Elijah said with a bit of contempt.
"It's Alex," He smiled, "and you can let me buy you a drink after work."
"Excuse me?" There was the smallest hint of surprise in Elijah's voice.
"Listen," Alex was turning on a special kind of charm that he knew worked on the same sex. "I feel like we got off on the wrong foot. Something I'm actually quite good at."
"You?" Elijah's voice was dripping with sarcasm. "Imagine that."
"Well it's been my experience that the best way to fix this is by getting to know each other while sharing a drink."
"Mmm." Elijah narrowed his eyes as he thought about it, as if it would allow him to see through any kind of trick the other doctor was trying to pull. "OK." He replied with hesitation.
"Great," Alex smirked, "meet me in the lobby when you get off shift."
"Fine." Elijah said as he began to walk toward his office.
As he passed through the hallways he came across a vending machine. He paused for a second then quickly turned and bought three candy bars and shoved them in his pockets before he continued to head down the hall.
As soon as he entered the door he fell into the chair behind his desk and put his feet up on the corner. He slowly opened the first chocolate bar, breaking off a piece and letting it gently melt on his tongue before sitting up and continuing the process as he began to fill out some department paper work. He had just finished the first bar and was ready to open the second when someone knocked on his door.
"Come in." He responded as he opened the second chocolate bar.
Derek Shepard opened the door holding a tray with coffee in one hand and closing the door behind him with the other. "Hey," he said with a smile that made Elijah want to melt along with the chocolate piece on his tongue, "I thought I'd see how you were settling in?"
"Derek," Elijah smiled as he took the coffee and sipped it. His eyes closed as the bold flavor of the coffee made love to the sweet taste of the chocolate in his mouth. "you always knew exactly when I needed a pick me up."
"Apparently I wasn't quite as perceptive as I prided myself to be," he gave Elijah a knowing look before continuing, "especially when it came to you and Mark."
Elijah hesitated for a moment as he placed another piece in his mouth, making him look like the kid who got caught with a cookie in his mouth before dinner. "Um," his voice was muffled a bit by the chocolate so he took another sip of the hot coffee to make it melt a little faster, "he actually told you?"
"Yup." Derek said without missing a beat.
"Wow." He said as he leaned back and began to think aloud. "That's not a normal thing for him. I mean he used to freak out that people were gonna find out and just stop being his friend."
"Well we've been through a lot since then. Here's the thing though, I really need you to tell me your side of why it ended."
"Why?"
"Because he's kind of freaking out and if I know your side of the story, then I can help advise him on how to approach you."
Elijah sat up and placed his hands on the desk. "Well it's not that easy."

Elijah leaned on the railing of the balcony as he looked out over New York City. The beautiful lights of the city seemed to be sparkling just for him. The rush of the cars on the street caught his attention for a moment, forcing him to look down and at the same time his eyes were drawn to his left hand. Mark had only given him the beautiful silver and sapphire ring last week so Elijah was still getting used to seeing it there.
He smiled and turned around, his untied robe revealing his well toned chest, perfectly defined stomach, and developed legs. As he walked back inside he dropped the robe from his firm shoulders on the back of a nearby arm chair, leaving him clad only in a tight pair of black boy shorts that accentuated the size of his member and the perfection of his ass all to well.
Mark emerged from the bedroom wearing nothing but a towel around his waist. His body glistened with water and condensation that slowly dripped down his chest and made it nearly impossible for Elijah not to trace the perfect 'V' at the bottom of his abdomen with his eyes.
"I thought you were going to join me in shower." Mark sounded playfully disappointed as he leaned up against the door frame to the bedroom. One had was holding the towel in place while the other began to slowly slide across his washboard abs. There was an obvious reaction to this in Elijah's shorts as his member throbbed. Mark smirked as he stood up right turned away from Elijah and dropped the towel. He looked over his shoulder to see Elijah's reaction before walking into the bathroom.
Elijah followed him and found him standing in shower with his back to Elijah. He looked over his shoulder with a devilish smirk as Elijah threw his shorts into the bedroom and entered the shower. Elijah took a moment to get his hair wet before lowering the temperature a little.
Mark turned to him and closed the space between their lips, pressing Elijah against the glass as he pressed himself up against Elijah. Mark pressed his growing erection into Elijah's as he began to kiss down the side of his Texan's neck, earning him a slight groan from the younger man. He smirked into his kisses and he began to kiss and lick down Elijah's chest, reaching his nipples and playfully flicking them with his warm tongue. Another groan escaped Elijah's throat as Mark's mouth began to travel across his abs, tracing his own well defined 'V'. Elijah looked down as his now fully erect member entered Mark's mouth. At first the warmth of his mouth was only barely felt as Mark playfully bobbed his head up and down Elijah's long shaft but Elijah's impatience got the better of him and he laced his fingers through Mark's hair and pulled his mouth further onto his throbbing member. Elijah could feel Mark smiling as he let his head fall against the glass behind him while he continued to control the movement of his lover's head. Mark ran one hand slowly up Elijah's abdomen while the other began to stroke his own growing erection.
Elijah could feel himself beginning to reach his climax so he slowly pulled the other man off of him. Mark kissed his way back up his lover's body at a painfully slow rate while Elijah groaned. Elijah pressed his erection onto Mark's stomach and Mark moaned as his own erection throbbed from the pressure. Mark reached around and firmly grabbed Elijah's ass, squeezing and kneading the perfectly round cheeks in his hands as their lips crashed together. Elijah laced one hand in Mark's hair and playfully pulled his head to one side. Mark responded with a deep growl and a loud slap of Elijah's ass. The younger man smiled into his lover's mouth as his knees buckled slightly. Mark responded to the familiar signal by quickly pulling Elijah's legs up around his waist and pressing his lover's back up against the stone tile. Elijah let out a deep moan as his lover's erection pressed it's way inside him. At first the two men struggled to remain in the position they'd gotten into, but soon found a way to hold it and Mark began to slowly push his way deeper into his lover before slowly pulling back again. Mark kissed and bit Elijah's neck as he settled into a comfortable rhythm forcing Elijah's sporadic moans to conform.
"Unh. Mark." Elijah groaned as the rhythm began speed up.
Mark only grunted as he pushed further into Elijah, causing him to shout in ecstasy. Both men could tell their lovers were close to the edge. Elijah was the first to climax, crying out as he released warm white liquid onto Mark's stomach. Mark released his own load into Elijah as a result of his lover's pleasure and the two dropped to the floor of the shower, breathing heavily.
After several minutes Mark stood up and helped Elijah to his feet. "Eli," Mark said his lover's name with admiration, "I love you."
"I love you too Mark." Elijah said as he turned the temperature of the water back up and began to clean himself off.
They helped to clean each other and started to get ready for bed when Mark's pager rang. The surgeon checked it and cursed "Damn it. I have to go."
"Really?" Elijah said only half pleading.
"Yeah," Mark said as he threw on some clothes, "it's the ER."
He quickly kissed Elijah one more time before running our of the bedroom. Elijah waited until he heard the door close and lock before he turned the TV on to see if there was an accident. Nothing. After walking around the apartment naked and listening to some music at a volume Mark wouldn't be able to tolerate, he went to set the coffee maker for the next morning only to find that there wasn't any coffee left.
"I knew I was forgetting something on the way home today." He said to himself.
He thought for a moment then decided to call the ER. If they weren't too busy Mark would come home and he could set the coffee maker then. The phone rang and a familiar voice picked up on the other end.
"Manhattan Central Emergency Room."
"Hey Sam, it's Elijah Mitchel."
"Hey Elijah, what can I do for you?"
"Is Mark Sloan busy, I have a few questions for him."
"He's not here honey, in fact I'll just say that I don't want to jinx the night."
Elijah realized she meant the ER had been dead all night. "Oh, well thanks anyway."
"Anytime honey, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Count on it." He said politely before hanging up the phone.
Elijah decided to sit down before calling his committed lover. He used the speed dial to call him while he blankly stared at the ring on his left hand.
"Hey," Elijah could hear someone else giggling in the back ground. "what's up?"
"Um, I was just wanted to know how bad it was."
"Yeah, it's pretty ugly in here I'm just gonna grab a nap in the on-call room before my shift. Are you gonna be ok?" Elijah could most definitely hear someone laughing in the back ground.
"Uh, yeah. Yeah, I'll be ok. I just wanted you to grab some coffee but I can stop somewhere or something. See you in the morning." He almost chocked at what he said next. "I love you."
"Yeah, you too. Night." He hung up.
Elijah sat there with the silent phone next to his ear for a second before quickly getting up and panicking. He pulled his suitcases out of the hall and quickly started packing all his things. As soon as he was done he took one final look before closing the front door and locking it behind him.

"I stayed in a hotel after that so could finish my fellowship, which only had a few weeks left," Elijah said to Derek who was listening intently, "it was weird at work but then I left for home as soon as I could."
"Well you didn't give him a chance to defend himself." Derek commented.
"No he admitted to it. That was when he started seeing Addison." Elijah chuckled a bit. "We have more in common than you thought huh?"
"When you put it that way, yeah." He chuckled in response. "Well it's getting late so I'm gonna head home." Derek said before getting up and walking toward the door. He stopped for a moment as he opened the door and gave Elijah a smile and said. "I'm sorry."
Elijah smiled in return as Derek closed the door and looked at the clock. "Oh crap," he said to himself. "Karev."
He quickly put away the rest of the paperwork and stashed the remaining chocolate bar in his desk before grabbing his normal coat. He reached in his pocket and pulled out the pill bottle, slamming back a proper dose and stashing it inside his jacket again.
Elijah saw Alex waiting in the lobby as he made his way down the main staircase. He smiled as he approached the younger doctor. "Hey, sorry I'm running late. Paperwork."
"It's all good," Alex smiled, "ready?"
Elijah let out a sigh and smiled. "Yeah."
