Meredith And Nathan: fight for your L(ife)ove

Will you?

-April, you almost kill me
- Sorry Meredith, I just needed to know how you were.
-I'm fine, does everybody in the damn hospital know?
-Kind of, yes. You are very important, and a brilliant surgeon, everyone was asking for you.
-You can tell them that I'm fine, but tell them not to come inside my room at three a.m and keep staring at me until I wake up, will you?
-God I'm so sorry, I'll let them know- she said between laughs
-Meredith, one more thing: don't hurt Nathan, will you? He has been through a lot, just like you. He just wants to make you happy. Remember this every time you fight about something, whatever it is: he would give out his soul for the person he loves, don't you ever doubt about it.
-Thank you April, I appreciate it. Now go and let me get some sleep haha.

The next morning...

-Morning sunshine, i brought you something to eat. At least it's not as shitty as the hospital food.
-Thank you Nathan
-So I talked to some really handsome cardio surgeon and he told me you could be discharged tomorrow evening.
-Really?
-Yup, really. But don't stress out, you've recently had surgery. I'd better leave now. I'll leave you and your food alone, I don't do love triangles
-You dumb. Nathan... stay a little bit, will you?
-Sure. I figured when you are discharged we should grab a drink, sometime.
- That sounds great. But you know it's not a date, right?
-Why not? What's wrong with dates? Bad experience?
-No, but i told you not to rush.
-So how do you expect us to become a thing if
we don't even date?
-well you are right. Maybe we should call it a date.
-Oh my god, Meredith Grey has accepted to date me! I can rest in peace now.
-Stop joking, it hurts when I laugh!

The minutes became hours, and before I knew it it was near two pm. The kids came and we hang out for a little bit. Afterwards, they went home and made cookies for when I returned.

It was already dark outside and I was so bored I didn't know what else to do. I heard someone in front of my room. It was Richard. I called his name and he quickly came to me. I asked him to give me a walk at the hospital, and the entrance. I needed fresh air. We talked about everything: patients, Nathan, Catherine, Nathan, the hospital, Nathan. I think I talked too much about him, maybe I was starting to have feelings for him, which I hadn't felt since Derek. Maybe this was more serious than I had imagined. And maybe, maybe this time was different.
-Do me a favor, Richard.
-What do you need Meredith?
-I need you to help me with something, will you?
