Author's Note: Mmkay guys. Im really bad at writing, but I love to do it. So, here's an ADDISEX fic for all the people who love them…

Disclaimer: I own no characters, but if I did, Ava would have gone off somewhere and died, and Addison and Alex would be together forever!!!! But, unfortunately, Shonda owns everyone and Addison is leaving Alex with Ava (ugh!!)

Chapter One: Cracked Armor…

Alex Karev prided himself on his ability to play hard to get. He laughed to himself when he referred to it as hard to get, because it sounded so feminine, but that was exactly what he always did. He always flirted enough to get the woman interested, then let her come to him. It made him seem less desperate. Alex chuckled. Him, desperate? Never.

However, when Dr. Montgomery, or as he called her in his mind, McHot, strolled by on her way to check on patients, he couldn't help but let all his flirting tips fade to nothing. He watched her hips swing as she walked effortlessly and felt an odd pang in the region of his heart. When she reached up and pecked Mark on the cheek, his face flushed and he looked away.

He knew Addison was with Mark now and they were "happy". But he couldn't bring himself to tell her that Mark was working his way through all the scrub nurses, and was currently flirting with Izzie. If Addison loved him, Alex was not going to break her spirit once again.

The truth was, he understood why Addison hadn't had him on her services for a while. He had rejected her twice, and straight up lied each time. She didn't know he lied, of course, but he wasn't about to tell her. But, if she could move on, he could too.

"Iz," he asked, walking up to the blonde. She looked his way and smiled. When she smiled, her brown eyes would crinkle up and sparkle. It made him think of Addison's flawless smile. He smiled without meaning to, then realized she was waiting for him to speak. "Do you want to go get some dinner later?"

"Sure," she said, "Just let me get out of something."

"Ok," he said curiously.

"Oh, I was supposed to eat with Callie and George, but you just saved me," she said appreciatively. "So, Ill see you at 8?"

"Um, yeah," he said quietly. He had been a millisecond away from calling it all off so he could go home and mope about Addison.

He saw her walking his way and moved to stop her. She glanced up at him for a second, then averted her eyes to walk away. "Addison," he said, sidestepping again to keep her in place. "I was wondering if I could be assigned to your service again. I really miss neonatal. That was what I want my specialty to be. If you don't mind, that is," he finished sheepishly, looking at the floor.

"Um, sure, Karev," she said awkwardly. "I would love to have you on my services again. O'Malley just doesn't cut it." Alex laughed and she smiled.
