Note: Alrighty, so after this one, we're going to have to delve into the less desirable episodes--sure, every five ficlets should be more enticing, but Addison & Alex didn't have too many happy times. Alas, this one is somewhere in between. Since I want to get to #15 soonish, I'll probably be updating quite a bit within the week (possibly three updates). With that said, ENJOY.
Jane Doe and Addison think that if anything, the only complication is that she's the boss, and he's the help. He'll act like that's just a line he doesn't want to cross, but he knows that in love and war, professional lines mean shit.
There's nothing really complicated about the attending/intern relationships, because boundaries were made to be crossed. In the end, it comes down to a character's history, strength, and resolve--he possesses all three very ardently, but it makes his walls the thickest, and the most complex.
Alex Karev is a complex fellow, who has endured tragedies and destructions. He carries grudges and pains on his back, which he would rather not lay on another's shoulders. Dr. Addison Forbes Montgomery has dealt with enough crap in her life, and he won't complicate it furthermore. He won't let her make that sacrifice.
She's worth far too much for him to complicate her life.
