Disclaimer: I don't own anything except for a crazy mind.

A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews. I know some people were wondering about Henry and honestly, I hadn't given him much thought. I have an idea now (: This is a lot longer, I hope it doesn't drag. I was going to cut out the last scene, but it seemed…necessary. I'm not sure. Let me know what you think!

After the surgery, Lexie was sat at the nurse's station patiently waiting for Henry to wake up from the anesthetic. She was aimlessly staring at his door, when someone stood in her way. Looking up, Lexie smiled when she saw Sadie looking back down at her.

"So," Sadie started, leaning her forearms against the desk. "I've been on clinic duty all day so you better have something interesting to tell me."

Lexie grinned proudly, "Tympanoplasty. I got to rim the perforation as well as elevate the ear canal skin flap."

Sadie looked at her deadpanned. "You classify that as interesting?"

Lexie laughed. "To me it is." Lexie smiled at the thought. She had always been interested in reconstruction surgery and to have helped in the reconstruction of something that helped a person to hear…It was amazing. It didn't matter to her what Sadie thought.

"You're so boring, Lexie," Sadie groaned. She turned around and looked at the door opposite them. "Your patient in there?"

Lexie nodded even though Sadie couldn't see. "Yeah, I'm just waiting for him to wake up before I page Dr. Sloan."

Sadie smirked and turned around to face Lexie. "How is Dr. Sloan today?"

Lexie quickly looked down and began to read the papers spread out in front of her. "Er, he's fine," she replied.

"I'm sure he is…"

Sadie observed Lexie for a moment, noticing how she was eager to avoid eye contact when they discussed Dr. Sloan. Sadie shook her head. "When are you going to get down on that?"

Lexie's head shot up, her eyes wide. "Sadie!"

"Oh, come on," Sadie drawled, a smirk fixed onto her face. "Don't deny it."

Lexie shook her head. "I, I have no idea what you're talking about."

"You're dying to have your wicked way with him. And I'm sure he feels the same." Sadie grinned as Lexie stood up and nervously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. When Lexie began to move, heading towards the patient's room, Sadie followed her. "Imagine having him. I'm sure he wouldn't say no…"

"Sadie!" Lexie twirled around, her back resting against Henry's door. "Enough. I-I don't think we should be discussing this, even if it is just a joke. It isn't funny, and it certainly isn't appropriate. N-Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go check on my patient!"

Lexie turned and opened the door, immediately noticing that Henry was still asleep from the anesthetic. She heard the door shut and saw Sadie walking towards her. "Shouldn't you be in the clinic?"

"I should…But this is more fun."

Sadie grinned as she came over to stand next to Lexie. She then looked at the man lying in front of them and her eyes widened. "Ohh, I like."

Lexie shook her head. "No, Sadie."

"Oh, come on, Lexie," Sadie teased as her eyes ran over the man's face. "He's cute."

"He's a patient."

"Not for long."

"I thought you liked Dr. Torres?"

Sadie shrugged, "I do. But that doesn't mean I can't have the best of both worlds…"

Lexie sighed and picked up Henry's chart. She flipped through it before placing it back into its place. She fidgeted with her hands for a moment before speaking. "We went to Harvard together."

Sadie looked at Lexie and nodded slightly. So that's why she had been so fidgety. "Ex-boyfriend?"

"No!" Lexie shook her head. "No, God no." Lexie chewed her bottom lip for a moment before waving her hand to indicate to Henry. "I hardly knew him."

Sadie nodded slowly, trying to understand why Lexie was acting so nervous. "Okay…"

"He used to watch me, in the library. H-He was too…nervous to speak to me."

"I don't know whether to take that as sweet or creepy."

Lexie frowned, "What's creepy about it?"

"The fact he used to watch you."

Lexie shook her head. "It wasn't intended in a creepy, 'I used to watch you' stalker-ish…way. I-It's more that he…noticed me. I was always in the same place in the library and he would see me and…"

"And…?"

Lexie thought about it for a moment and realized that she didn't actually know that much about Henry, or his intentions. "He wasn't at Harvard for that long. He dropped out."

"I don't blame him."

Lexie looked at Sadie, "What's that meant to mean?"

"Medicine. It's tough."

"He took biostatistics."

Sadie laughed, "Then I definitely don't blame him. What a boring thing to take…"

Lexie laughed slightly and turned to look at Henry. Now that she looked at him, finally got the chance to really look at him, she realized that he wasn't that bad looking. Of course, she knew that already but now she noticed smaller details that made him that tiny bit better looking. His eyelashes were long, his nose was slightly bent but it added to the masculine vibe he radiated. His lips were full and there was small stubble growing along his tanned jaw line.

Lexie blushed as she stared at him. It was harmless, she thought. There was no reason why she couldn't look at this man and…appreciate his good looks. And his sense of humor and company. Lexie suddenly found herself wishing he would wake up sooner.

As if someone had been listening to her thoughts, Lexie watched as Henry moved his legs and then slowly opened one eye. He stared at her, not fully awake. He frowned and then opened both his eyes. Looking between the two women that stood before him, Henry smirked slightly.

"What a great sight to wake up to," he rasped.

Sadie smirked and was about to reply when Lexie interrupted. "It's nice to see that you're awake, Mr. Roy."

"How many times do I have to tell you? It's Henry."

Lexie smiled politely. "I'm sorry, Henry."

Henry smiled at her and closed his eyes again, still tired from the anesthetic. "For a smart girl, you aren't so great at remembering names."

Sadie laughed but quickly stopped when Lexie glared at her. Turning back to face Henry, Lexie smiled sweetly. "To be fair, I do remember your name. I'm just selective with which I call you."

Henry laughed quietly. "Okay. Do you mind if I'm selective and call you Lexie?"

"It's not very appropriate," Lexie reminded him but couldn't help the smile on her lips.

"Neither is you not introducing me to the lovely blond next to you."

Sadie laughed, "I'm Sadie."

Henry opened his eyes to take a good look at her. He smirked and then shrugged slightly. "I prefer brunettes."

Lexie immediately blushed and was about to speak when Sadie answered instead. "And I prefer women. But you're cute."

Henry raised his eyebrow, and before he could reply, Lexie interrupted. "I-I'm sorry, but Dr. Harris and I should really get Dr. Sloan. He needs to check on your ear."

Both Sadie and Henry looked at Lexie, and Henry nodded his head slowly. "…Okay."

Quickly, Lexie grabbed Sadie by the arm and forced her outside. Shutting the door behind her, Lexie shook her head. "We should have paged Dr. Sloan as soon as he opened his eyes."

"Yes, we should have," Sadie agreed, a large smile on her face. "But that was much more fun. You sure you and he didn't…"

"Sadie," Lexie warned. "I'm going to page Sloan. You should get back to the clinic before Dr. Yang realizes you aren't there."

Sadie held up her hands. "Fine." She backed away slowly, still facing Lexie. "Fine. I'll see you at Joe's later?"

Lexie considered it quickly. It would be better than having to go home and face Thatcher. "Fine, I'll see you there."

"Great!" Sadie swiftly turned around and headed towards the clinic, looking forward to grilling Lexie about Henry and Mark later.

Mark stared at Callie as she continued her rant about Sadie. He wasn't paying much attention, more content in thinking about another intern.

"You aren't even listening to me, are you?"

Mark's eyes snapped into focus and he shook his head. "Of course I was. You were complaining about how you want to get into the psycho's pants but you're too scared to do so."

Callie glared at him, and replied defiantly. "She isn't a psycho. Slightly crazy, yes, but not a psycho. Hot, but not a psycho…And I'm not scared. I could get into her pants if I wanted too, you know? I totally could."

Mark nodded. "Sure you could. Tell me when that happens."

"You aren't watching," Callie replied deadpanned. She waved her hand dismissively. "I'll tell you, you're my person."

"You're person?"

Callie rolled her eyes. "You know…my person. The one I tell things to."

"I don't know if I'm supposed to be glad about that or worried that I'll have to deal with all your relationship problems."

Callie laughed, "You deal with it already." Callie looked at him for a moment, and titled her head to the side. "You would tell me if something was bothering you, wouldn't you?"

Mark frowned and grumbled, "I don't think I have a choice."

"Funny." Callie paused and then asked. "So…You and Lexie, eh?"

Mark looked at her sharply. "No."

"What?"

"No," Mark said again. "I'm not going there."

Callie shrugged. "I just thought I'd ask. I see the way you look at her."

"Oh really? And here I was thinking you were too busy gawping at Dr. Harris to notice anyone else."

Just as Callie was about to reply, a pager beeped and both looked down to check theirs. Mark then stood up when he realized Henry was awake. "I'll see you later, Torres." And with that, Mark quickly left the cafeteria before Callie could reply.

Lexie was waiting outside Henry's room, thinking about nothing in particular, when Mark came up to stand next to her. "Grey," he said in a monotone voice.

She looked up at him and smiled slightly, "Dr. Sloan."

"Come on."

Opening the door to the room, Mark waited until she entered before he walked into the room and closed the door. His eyes narrowed when he saw Henry grin at the sight of Lexie. "Mr. Roy," Mark boomed in a louder than necessary voice. "I'm just going to check there are no signs of infection."

Henry glanced up at the older man and nodded. "I can hear fine, you know."

Mark tensed slightly and nodded tersely. He brought a chair up next to Henry and removed the sterile patch from his ear. Switching on his torch, Mark continued to assess the graft when he spoke again. "Dr. Grey, are you going to stand there or are you going to help me assess this graft?"

"Er, yes, sorry, sir," Lexie replied, flustered, and quickly moved so that she stood behind Mark. She peered closer and nodded her head. "No immediate signs of infection."

Mark glanced to the side. "Care to get any closer, Grey?"

Lexie looked down, a frown in place. "Er, no…"

"Then back up, Grey. Get out of my space."

"You know, Dr. Sloan, that's no way to talk to a lady," Henry said, his voice teasing.

Mark abruptly leant back, bumping into Lexie for a moment before she nearly ran out of the way. He glanced up to see her now fidget with her hands as she stood at the end of the bed. Mark returned to look at Henry. "She's an intern." He replied, as if that explained everything.

Abruptly standing up, Mark crossed his arms over his chest. "Come back in ten days and we'll do a full assessment to see if the graft was successful. Until then, stay away from heavy labor, water and blowing your nose." Mark took out his prescription pad from his coat pocket, and scribbled down the necessary requirements. "You'll be able to leave in a couple of hours. Take this."

Henry accepted the prescription from him and glanced over to Lexie. "Ten days…Will Dr. Grey be helping with my full assessment?"

Lexie looked to Mark and he glanced back at her. He returned to look at the man eyeing her. "If she doesn't get in the way up until then, she can. If she's available."

"You better be on your best behavior then, Lexie."

Lexie blushed and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Er, yes." She looked up at Mark. "May I be excused, Dr. Sloan? Dr. Yang told me to report back after I had finished my case."

Mark nodded. "Get out of here."

Hastily, Lexie went to the door, desperate to get away from Henry's watchful eye. She had noticed him staring at her throughout his and Mark's conversation, and Lexie felt…uneasy. Although she enjoyed the attention from an attractive man, she deemed it inappropriate seeing as she was his doctor. Plus, with Dr. Sloan in the room at the same time…Lexie flushed with color.

Once outside, she let out a breath of relief. Cristina hadn't wanted her back, and so Lexie glanced at her watch. She would be off her shift soon. Realizing the only thing she could do now was to talk to Sadie, Lexie nearly broke out into a sprint in the direction of the clinic.

Henry studied Mark for a moment. "Are you and Lexie together?"

Mark tensed at such a…ridiculous question. "I don't think mine and Dr. Grey's relationship is any of you business."

"Maybe not…But if you were, I'd hope you weren't smacking her around."

Mark glared at his patient. "Excuse me?"

"I noticed the cut on her face. I didn't mention it of course, as it's none of my business. But I noticed. And I noticed how jumpy she was. Nervous. Afraid, almost. Now, if–"

"I am not responsible for any of that, and as your doctor, I think it is best you not continue with your vocalization of your thoughts."

Henry shrugged. "Fine."

Mark sighed and turned around; he had nothing to say to this man anymore. Although he knew that, Mark found himself turning back to look at Henry. "She's naturally nervous. Neurotic. She isn't afraid of me."

Henry regarded his doctor for a moment. "You really believe that?"

"Yes. Now, I'll see you in ten days, Mr. Roy."

With that, Mark left the room. He stood outside for a moment, thinking about what Henry had said. Normally, he would be proud that interns feared him. But with Lexie…Mark shook his head. It didn't matter. All that mattered now was that he was going to Joe's to have a drink. A strong one.

He needed something to take his mind off…Interns.
