When you and Lexie joined the surgical internship at Mercy West Hospital, you became quick friends, happy to have someone to go through this journey together. Quickly you begun to feel more for her than just as a friend, but you couldn't ever tell her that in fear that you would ruin the friendship the two of you built. Instead you decided to appreciate your friendship and spent time at work together making the most of the work you did before spending most of your time outside of work together too, always enjoying the others company.

You never thought she would like you in return, so you tried to push that thought to the back of your mind but when you saw her every day, all day, you just found more and more than made you fall deeper in love with her.

It was like any day at work, getting shouted at by your resident surgeon and sent off to do menial work until the wards became too busy and you would need to actually do something substantial. You were stood at the nurse's station doing some paperwork when Lexie approached you, her almost normal nervous smile upon her lips as she cleared her throat to gain your attention.

"Sorry to bother you Y/N," she said softly, her voice slightly shaky.

"You could never both me, Lexie," you smiled in return, putting your pen down so that you showed her that you were focusing all your attention on her.

"I'm really sorry if I am about to make this really weird between us but I cannot hide how I feel anymore as it's making me go crazy and I can barely sleep with the dishonesty I have," she said, not pausing for breath. "Since we met, I have felt something for you that is far more than I should have felt for someone I claimed was just a friend. Please if you do not feel the same way, do not try to stop our friendship as I don't think I could cope without you in my life, or just seeing you in the hospital without knowing we can talk and laugh together. Anyway what I am trying to say is that I am head over heels for you and I wish that we could be more than friends but I have been too scared that you'd hate me if you told me."

You couldn't help but laugh at her rambling without breath and how stupid you felt. She looked confused as she tried her best to catch her breath again.

"Why are you laughing?"

"I just feel so stupid."

"Why?"

Not wanting to say any words to her, instead you pressed your lips to hers. When you pulled away her cheeks were rosy, and a goofy smile was on her face.

"Aw, you're so cute."
