Hi all! Well I know it has been forever since I have written a Breredith fic, but here I go again! Anyway, this was submitted by an anon, so I hope that whoever suggested that I write this piece enjoys it! Regardless, make sure to like/favorite/leave a comment or anything so I can understand if you like this or not! Cause if you don't…well I guess I'll just stick to Laurwalk and Tup. ANYWAYS, I also would like to know what you would think of me possibly doing a giveaway? I'm thinking it will probably just be me mailing you a hand-written fic of the ship you'd like and such. I don't know yet though. Let me know what you think because I sure think it will be fun! Maybe I'll even throw in some extras (LIKE COOL STICKERS) or something. Anyway, enjoy the fic!

Brian had finally plucked up the courage to ask her out last week. This wasn't just any girl though. It was Meredith. Meredith Stepien. The most amazingly talented, beautiful, and funny woman he had ever met. The task of asking her out was a long process because of this. Since she was so perfect in every way he had to figure out the "perfect" way to ask her out. Besides, the last thing he wanted was to possibly be rejected. If she had said no him, Brian probably would have just crumbled. Regardless, he did ask her in what he felt was a good way; well at least it proved to be with her answer.

He had invited Meredith over just to sit and watch movies on Netflix all night like they always had. Tonight though would be different. It could possibly change those nights of them just sitting next to each other watching dumb movies on the television. It could make it so they were making out and laughing at each other's stupid jokes every time she came over instead. As Brian heard the doorbell to his apartment ring he instantly shot up out of his seat and nearly sprinted to the door. Once at the door he placed his hand on the doorknob and waited a moment so he did not seem too overly excited to see her. Finally with the flick of a wrist the door was opened and he was met by an absolutely beautiful sight to him. Meredith's long curls fell on the shoulders of her bright yellow tank top that had cut off right above the hemline to her black yoga pants, revealing the slightest bit of skin that drove Brian absolutely insane.

"Hey Bri." She said nonchalantly, giving him a big smile before giving him a quick hug. "Long time no see, huh?" Meredith added before letting go of him, walking off to his kitchen to go grab some food to eat. She treated his apartment as her own half the time. Besides, Brian did not care. She was over almost every other day because she lived so close by. Soon she returned with a big bowl of popcorn and an assortment of chocolate. "You really need to get some more food. I think we had the exact same snacks the other night." Meredith teased with a small smirk before she plopped herself down onto the leather couch that resided in front of the television. She sat there, content, for a moment as she began her popcorn before raising an eyebrow, glancing up at Brian. "Are you gonna sit down? Cause it's gonna be weird if I just sit here, pigging out on all of your food while you stand and watch."

Brian laughed lightly before sitting down next to her. "Sorry. Something just caught my eye and I got distracted."
"Oh? What?"
You. That's what he wanted to say, but he knew that he could not. "Uh…umm…there was a cool looking bird outside of the window, but it already flew away."
Meredith gave him a weird look but nodded nonetheless, turning her attention toward the screen to begin watching the movie.

As the movie went on for the next two hours or so Brain sat there trying to figure out the right words to use when he asked her out. It was completely nerve-wracking. What if he stumbled and made himself out to being a bumbling idiot? Or worse. What if she just flat out rejected him. He hoped she did not. Finally he closed his eyes and looked down, ready to just begin speaking, hoping that it would end up sounding half decent.

"Mere? I know this is weird and might make things slightly awkward but I want to tell you something. You know, you are one of my closest friends and I love that. But I want to be more than friends, y'know? I mean you're so beautiful and talented and funny that I really want you to always be around me. Like…if you were my girlfriend. So, would you maybe…possibly…want to go out on a date with me? Just to see if we are meant for each other."

As Brian finished it felt like a whole building had just been lifted off of his shoulders. However that building soon came crashing right back down onto him. She hadn't answered him. He quickly opened his eyes and looked over at her to see her reaction, hoping it wasn't full of horror. But it wasn't. What he found was instead a sleeping Meredith who was resting her head on his shoulder. She must of fallen asleep while Brian was distracted thinking of what to say. He smiled slightly, knowing that he was not fully turned down yet. Instead, Brian carefully stood up and carried her bridal style to his bedroom. Once in there he carefully placed her down on his bed before climbing in next to her, falling asleep soon after with his arms wrapped around her gently.

The next morning when he woke up he found her slowly squirming around as her eyes fluttered open.
"Morning Mere."

"Good morning, Bri. Did I fall asleep or something? I don't remember coming in here."
"Yeah. You were asleep so I figured you would be more comfortable in bed than on the couch out there."

She smiled softly at him and nodded. "Good call." Meredith nonchalantly rested her head n his chest, keeping an arm around him as she laid there.
"Hey Mere?" Oh boy. Here he went again.

"Yeah?"

"Were you awake when I asked you something last night?"

She raised an eyebrow ad shook her head slowly. "No, I don't think I was. What did you want to know?"
"Would you uh…maybe…want to go out on a date or something with me?"

As he asked this Meredith looked up at him, her somewhat straight face turning into a big smile. "I think that would be absolutely wonderful. Of course I will."

Brian's face was now also filled with a smile before the two of them began discussing where to go and more importantly, their hidden feelings for one another.

So here he was. Sitting on that same leather couch he had been on less than a week ago. Waiting. Waiting for Meredith to arrive for their date. Waiting for his future to unfold. Who knows? Maybe the woman that will be walking in will in fact be his future wife. Or maybe even the mother of his children. He would have to just sit back, wait and see. Soon he heard that familiar sound of the doorbell ring. Brian slowly got up and opened the door, looking straight at his future.
