I spent most of my day ignoring lectures and reading MerMark fan fics so thanks and Im sorry but in my story things are going to play out very different where the Shepherds are concerned because that little whore comment of Dereks will not slide in my universe because I don't know WHO Derek thought he was talking to... no matter I have something and with Addison the manipulation will not slide with me but I have something for that too.

(This is 1 month after Meredith surgery

"Marky do you have any good movies to watch" Meredith called out from the living room.

"Umm check my movie box" Mark called from the kitchen.

"Oooooo Marky lets watch a RomCom" Meredith said picking up one of the movies

"Ew no put on a scary movie."Mark called

"Fine and what are you doing" Meredith said standing up from the boxes and walking into the kitchen of marks under furnished apartment and taking a seat on the only barstool.

"Cooking but it's not shocking it'd be unfamiliar to you because the only thing you can cook is ramen noodles scratch that because you burn those too" Mark said turning to face her

"You know you're not very polite" Meredith fake pouted

"Your right. Starting now I'm going to be nice." Mark said adding his signature smirk

"Good" Meredith said uncrossing her arms and smiling

"Ok so I'm going to teach you how to cook" Mark said grabbing her hand and helping her off the bar stool

"So you can blame me for burning the food no can do" Meredith said giggling

"Oh come on Mer" Mark said with puppy dog eyes

"Nope" Meredith said hopping back on the bar stool

"Fine then" And with that he picked her up and put her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"Marrrkkkk. Put .Me. Down" Meredith Giggled as she slapped Marks back.

"Nope...not until you agree to let me teach you how to cook" Mark laughed as he ran around the penthouse with Meredith "And stop hitting me"

"Fine you can teach me. Now put me down" She said hitting his back one more time still laughing

"Deal" he said setting her down

"Ok now what do I do"

"I would say put the chicken on the skillet, but I like this apartment and don't want it to get burnt down" Mark said grinning

"Meany" Meredith said hitting him on his arm playfully

"Hey what did I say about hitting me" He said pointing a finger at her "Now chop up the vegies"
"In small pieces or big ones"

"Here let me show you Mark said walking over "Ok" he said standing over her shoulders and grabbing her hands "So you want to chop it just like this" he said guiding her hands with his

"Ok now what" She said looking up at her still smiling

"You sit down because the rest of this involves fire and I don't think I can teach you that much" He said smirking he turned around and lifted her up and placed her on a bar stool.

"Fine" she said fake pouting

"What are you doing tomorrow" He said throwing the chicken on the skillet

"I don't know I'm off why"

"Because I need furniture and you're going to come with me to get it"

"No I'm not I hate shopping. Why can't you do it" she protested

"Umm because you're here 75% of the time and you have three drawers in my dresser AND you even bring Karev and Yang over here when I'm not here AND you have a key. So, this is technically your house as much as mines" He said smirking

"Fine . I should've known you were up to something when you agreed to let Alex come over you don't even like him"

"You really should've" He said placing a plate in front of her.

"Hey Marky" This is actually good she said taking a bite

"I know because I made it" He said taking a bite of his food

"What movie do you want to watch" Meredith said sitting back in the living room after dinner

"I already said a horror movie" He said walking over and sitting next to her on the floor because he didn't have a couch yet

"Fine but you pick it I'm changing" She said standing

"Whatever but don't steal anymore of my shirts" He called after her still not knowing why he bothered because she was going to do it anyways and he liked her in his shirts she looked pretty in them well she always looked pretty to him but in his shirts she looked beautiful.

Meredith emerged from the room in one of Marks shirts. Mark couldn't tear his eyes from her she was so beautiful. Why couldn't he just ask her out

"Did you pick a movie" she said sitting next him.

"Yeah, we're going to watch Hide and Seek" He said as he popped in the DVD

"Ok" she said leaning into him.

He unconsciously wrapped his around her waist bringing her closer to him and they just stayed there until he dozed off.

He woke to Meredith rustling

"Night Marky" she whispered kissing him gently on the lips and walking into the bedroom.

Once he was sure he heard the door shut he sat up and smiled maybe just maybe she thought that they could be something more too.

Meredith sat in Marks bed wondering if maybe one day she would be able to have the guts to kiss Mark when he wasn't unconscious. Maybe just maybe one day she would she thought as she drifted off
