"Hey, Marky, what's up" Meredith said as she threw her stuff in the car

"Who's in the car"

"Uh... nobody why"

"Well umm I-" Why couldn't he just work up the nerve and ask her out already.

"Spit it out Marky" Meredith giggled

"Well umm I- I- I- …. Are you coming over tonight?"

"Yup I get off at 6 so I'll come after that... why you want me not to?"

"No no no its nothing I was just wondering"

"Ok well um are you almost at the hospital"

"Yeah I'm pulling up and are you ok your being weird like weirder than normal." Meredith said pulling into her spot and turning off the car.

"Nothing nothing. I just saw you pull into the spot I'm coming to your car"

"Ummm ok but Marky you are being weird"

"Whatever" he said slamming the phone shut and walking over to her car "Nobodies being weird" he said opening the drivers door to her jeep.

"AHHHH" Meredith screamed "Mark what is wrong with you" She said slapping his chest lightly.

"How did I scare you if I told you I was coming over here" Mark laughed.

"Shut up" Mer said grabbing her bag and moving him so she could get out of the car.

"Here let me take that" Mark gestured at her bag

"Look at you being a gentleman" She laughed handing the bag to him.

"Whatever" He shoved her slightly and took the bag. She slumped into him and they walked in the hospital unaware of a lurking neurosurgeon.

--

"Yang" Mark yelled down the hallway running to the nurses station where she was busy charting for Burke.

"Yes Sloan" Cristina grinning having had spent quite a bit of time at his apartment with Meredith she knew it had something to do with Mer and she was planning on milking it as best she could.

"I need a favor" He grinned not bothering to turn on the charm because he knew all she wanted was surgeries

"Hmmmmm I don't know... what do you have to offer me"?

"What do you want" Mark said knowing it would cost him big time.

"I want in on your next rhinoplasty and for you to agree I won't have to do coffee for a month" She said pointing a finger at him

"But then who's going to get me coffee" he sighed.

"I don't know but not me"

"Fine" he sighed and scribbled down the favor he wanted on a piece of paper.

Cristina took the paper and looked down at it "Thanks Sloan you just made me a few hundred dollars" shoving the paper in her pocket grinning.

"How"

"Dont worry about it" She said turning and walking away

--

"Hey Marky" Meredith said breezing into the elevator and leaning her head on him.

"Hey Mer" he said wrapping his arm around her and poking her side

"Stoop" she swatted at his finger

"No" he wrapped both of his arms around her and kept poking her.

"Stop stop" she giggled swatting his fingers

He didn't let her go up until the elevator doors opened on the second floor. She ran up a little to get away from him knowing he wouldn't grab her as other people filed into the elevator still laughing and still not noticing a certain neurosurgeon board the elevator. Little by little more and more people filed off the elevator until it was just Derek, who still didn't notice Mark, glaring at Meredith. Derek pressed the emergency stop bottom on when they had reached the 5th floor.

"Really Meredith Mark" Derek wheeled towards her still not noticing Mark. Mark shoved himself in the corner praying he didn't notice him just in case he needed to step in.

"Its actually Dr.Grey and Doctor Shepherd don't you have a wife to screw with instead of me" Meredith fake smiled and pressed the emergency button Mark fought the urge to bust out laughing.

"Why would you sleep with Mark are you going to sleep with Karev next I've noticed you two have been getting close and I think you're a big enough whore" Derek spat

Mark didn't even think about what he was about to do he just did it because who did Derek think he was the audacity of him to call her a whore when he slept with her knowingly married and is still acting like he has some sort of a claim to her. Plus she hadn't even slept with him yet so he didn't think about what he was about to do next he just did it

"And I think your an inconsiderate bi-" Meredith started but before she could finish Derek was on the ground and Mark was wiping blood off his hand.

"Again Mark" Meredith sighed and slapped his arm not bothering to help Derek because why would she

"Hey I just decked a guy in your honor a little bit of respect please" He shoved her back grinning

But before they could finish their conversation the elevator doors opened up revealing Richard Webber

"SLOAAAAAN" he said surveying the elevator seeing Shepherd attempting to stand up Marks bloody fist and Meredith lecturing Sloan he could already guess what happened.

"Yeah, yeah in your office I know chief but I'm not bringing him" he gestured towards Derek "Maybe his wife would be interested" Mark said and turned on his heel and walked to the chiefs office very proud of what he just did.

"And what's your role in all this Grey" Webber gestured towards Derek wo finally got his balance and was making his way out of the elevator.

"Same as always just caught in the middle" Meredith sighed

"Figures Well back to work Grey" he nodded and walked towards his office to deal with the fighting attendings.

--

"Sloan" Webber said walking into the room and sitting behind his desk.

"Richard. My man" Mark held out his hand smiling.

"Sloan why'd you punch him"

"Well, it's actually quite simple, but it's not my story to tell and he started it and I finished it." Mark shrugged.

"I already know it's about Grey so might as well tell me the rest"

"Fine" Mark sighed "Shep cornered Grey in a elevator unaware of my presence and called her a whore" Mark said calmly

"Did you put your arm into it" Webber said sitting up. It didn't matter he was chief Meredith was the closest thing he had to a daughter and he refused to allow Derek Shepherd hurt her

"Sure did ...did you see him on the floor" Mark grinned.

"You can go" Richard waved him off "And SLOAN" He called just as Mark got to the door

"Yeah chief "Mark said turning around

"Please don't punch anymore surgeons in my hospital"

"Aw man I really wanted to punch Burke" Mark joked

"Sloan" Webber called sternly.

"Yeah, I got it no more punching people" He said and started to walk out

"One more thing Sloan" Webber called again

"Yeah chief"

"Just ask her out already"

"I'm working on it" Mark grinned and walked out the office.

--

"Sloan punched Shepherd" Alex said as soon as he got to the nurse's station.

"Thats exactly what happened" Meredith said shutting the chart she was working on and turning to face Alex

"Why"

"Something about defending my honor I don't really know" Meredith sighed

"He totally likes you" Alex grinned

"Does not"

"Does too"

"He so does not"

"What are we talking about" Cristina said slamming her chart down and turning to face the pair

"How Mark likes Mer" Alex stated.

"Oh yeah he totally does and she likes him" Cristiana said nudging Meredith.

"I do not" Meredith said shoving them both on the shoulder and walking off

"She totally likes him" Alex said sharing a look with Cristina

"Totally now lets go up the dates on our bets" She said dragging Alex by his arm.

--

"Did you do it" Mark said walking up to Cristina

"Yeah I figured it out she likes you and you might as well go for it"

"Thanks Cris" Mark said walking away

"Don't call me that only Mer calls me that" She called after him.

"Whatever Cris" Mark smiled and walked off to his car.

--

"Mark why'd you punch him today" Meredith said as she leaned on Mark while they watched movie.

"Why wouldn't I he was out of line and needed it" Mark said resting his head on hers

"Thanks" She sighed and looked up at him her green eyes shining even though it was dark and her hair falling over her shoulders ever so gently. Mark looked down at her and before he could even process what he was doing his lips crashed into hers and they kissed.

Mark pulled back and looked at her longingly he figured it was now or never

"Mer I- I- was going to ask you to uh uh will you be my girlfriend" Mark said looking down at her praying Cris knew what she was talking about.

"Of course I will " Meredith grinned up at him and kissed him again. Sometime after that they both drifted off to sleep perfectly content with being in each others arms.
