The Starting Line (Reupload)

Ø6

Finishing the cupcake Izzie forced her to eat this morning, Eleanora maneuvered her way through the crowd outside the locker room. She tossed the wrapper in the trash, humming a song she heard on the radio as she quickly pulled out her scrubs from her locker.

Before she could put them on, however, hands slid around her hips to her stomach. Soft kisses went up her neck and she smiled, tilting her head the other way to give him more space. "Good morning to you too, Dr. Karev."

Alex squeezed her hips, twisting her so that her back touched the lockers. She moved her arms to rest on his shoulders, looking at him with bright eyes and a lovestruck smile.

"It's not yet." He answered, grabbing her chin and lifting his head slightly as he kissed her on the lips. She let her eyes close quickly, kissing him back.

Alex pulled back a little, smiling with satisfaction as he looked at the girl who so quickly and easily turned into putty in his hands. "It's a good day now, honey."

They had been... Whatever this was for a couple of days now. Whenever they could, they would sneak into a closet or an abandoned room and kiss, he would silence her moans with his lips against hers.

They had returned home once, just two nights ago. They had both finished earlier than expected and practically rushed to the Grey house, knowing that the others would arrive later.

Eleanora knew that once they were there, given the time and the quiet, they would finally have sex. Alex did too, if his needy kisses were anything to go off of.

They had only reached the middle of the entry way before Alex had lifted her up to the table where they kept things and mail at random, placing himself between her legs.

Alex's pants were unbuttoned and Eleanora's shirt was off as everyone rushed into the house, completely ruining the mood and embarrassing Eleanora to death.

Alex wrapped her in his jacket, knowing they wouldn't be able to find her shirt fast enough. Meredith and Izzie laughed, but George just stared with wounded eyes. Alex noticed, his own narrowing as he shielded Eleanora from sight, pushing her toward the steps as she continued to apologize to her roommates.

It was two days later, and they still hadn't done it.

She sighed, pressing another kiss to his lips, this one sweet and soft. Protests filled the room, and Alex grunted, glancing toward the door. Eleanora gave him a soft, sad smile, turning to rummage through her locker. Alex squeezed her hip one last time before making his way through the crowd of friends.

"Honestly, get a room, you two." Cristina complained.

"First we see you two practically fucking in my entry way, now we see you two being sweet and affectionate in the locker room?" Meredith joked, tapping Eleanora's shoulder. "Don't you know there is a time and place for this kind of thing?"

Alex slammed his locker shut, putting on his lab coat. "Yes, we tried, in the house she lives in." He looked at Eleanora and nodded. "See you at lunch."

After he left, Eleanora turned to her friends, pleading with her eyes. "Please stop doing this! We're-"

"Happy?

"Horny?"

"Delusional?" George muttered. Everyone's head turned to him, and Eleanora let out a sound of disproval.

"Okay, whatever." She said softly. She quickly put on her lab coat and grabbed her pager, quickly exiting the door. "I won't talk about my relationship with my friends."

Izzie looked at her, sneering. "Did she call that a relationship? Please, she and Karev will go to bed once and he will leave her behind like a piece of garbage."
