A/N: More V-day fluff.

"I hate this." Addison complained, sitting on a gurney in the hallway at Mount Sinai hospital. She was in her first year as a surgical intern, and she'd just worked a 16 hour shift. She had collapsed onto gurneys with three of her fellow interns- they had sent the two male interns, Derek and Mark, to get food for them from the cafeteria.

"Hate what?" Elizabeth Morgan was a smart, kind, hardworking person, and she had become close friends with Addison over their internship so far.

"Valentine's Day."

"Why?" Elizabeth shot up, her hair sticking out from the static. "It's the most romantic holiday of the year!"

"It's sickening." Addison said, pulling her glasses off and shutting her eyes. "It's a Hallmark holiday that wouldn't be a big deal if not for the fact that florists, candy stores, and card shops make tons of money on worthless gifts."

"Oh, seriously?" Sandra, the other intern, sat up. "You actually have a boyfriend, but you're the one complaining."

Addison rolled her eyes.

"What are you and Derek doing, anyway?" Elizabeth asked.

"I don't even know. He hasn't mentioned anything." She sat in silence then, averting her eyes from the two. Sandra and Elizabeth made eye contact and slowly began to understand.

"Is that was this is all about? Derek hasn't done anything yet?"

Addison nodded reluctantly.

"Addie, I'm sure he's planning something and he just wants to surprise you. Don't worry about it."

Addison began to reply, but Derek and Mark walked in then, carrying trays and Styrofoam cups.

XOXOXOXO

"Where are we going" Addison asked as she was led, blindfolded, out of the car and outside.

"You'll see."

"You know I'm not good at the whole 'patience' thing, Derek-" She was cut off when the blindfold was pulled off and she could see her surroundings. In front of them was a table and two chairs, with candles in the center, overlooking the lake.

"This is beautiful." She breathed, and he led her over to the table.

After they'd eaten the dinner Derek had made, he smiled at her and reached into his pocket, and suddenly, she knew.

"Derek…"

He walked over to her and went down on one knee in front of her.

"Addison, I've realized something these past two years. You know I love you, but…I realized that it's more than that. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to marry you and grow old with you and have kids and a dog and a minivan. I want the whole package, Addie."

She felt a smile overcome her, and she looked down at him.

"I…I want to be your wife, Derek. I want to have your child, I want…I want to die knowing I had a long, full life, in your arms."

"Is that a yes?" he asked, his eyes sparkling.

Addison swore she'd never be one of those emotional, lovesick women, but she felt it happening as she teared up.

"Yes."

He slipped the ring on her finger then looked at his watch, then back at her, grinning.

"Perfect timing."

"Why?"

"It's exactly one minute after midnight. I know you wouldn't want a corny Valentine's Day proposal, so we were officially engaged on February fifteenth."

She smiled back at him and he lifted himself off the ground to her, pulling her lips to his.

Maybe she did like Valentine's Day, after all.

A/N: Yes, a line or two more from The Last 5 Years. Again, go buy the soundtrack.
