Derek comes home to find me asleep on the couch. I had tried to stay awake for his shift to end but after forty-eight consecutive hours, I was wiped out. I wake to him kissing my forehead.

"Hi," I say groggily, as I sit up propping myself up with my elbows.

"Hey," He says, smiling.

"Long day," I say.

"Yeah?" He grins and sits next to me on the couch as he kicks of his shoes and drops his briefcase, "Want to tell me about it?" He wraps his arms around me and a sink against him.

"Well the day started with me waking up naked with an outrageously attractive man next to me," I joke, "Turns out he's my boss. Who'd have figured?" He laughs, "Basically today told me if I thought med school was rough I have another thing coming for me. It's like that out of the frying pan into the fryer."

"Into the fire," He corrects, "So, how was jumping into the fire?"

"It was a high." I respond before kissing him soundly on the lips.

A/N: Thank you so much for everyone who read, reviewed and followed Into The Fire! I'd like to take this time remind you all that I am currently writing a longer Grey's fic that is a season 2 AU so stay on the look out for that! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year (because 2016 is just a few short days away, after all).
