"𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐎𝐎?" kelsey heard a voice say behind her, causing her to turn around. there stood a shirtless jackson with his now removed shirt in his hands.

"i'm not washing anything avery, i'm looking for my shirt" she said through a slight chuckle. meredith told kelsey her and lexie had gotten drunk last night and she had gotten ketchup on her shirt so she washed it for her to be ready in the morning.

"you don't need one" he said lowly in her ear, making her turn around and come face-to-face with him. he came one small step closer to her and brought his face down so now his face was hovering over hers. jackson looked down at her lips then back up at her eyes in one swift motion before slowing leaning in.

"oh! i'm sorry" they heard a voice say behind, along with the sound of a loud thud which made them jump back from each other.

"𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐍" richard told kelsey as they were scrubbing out of their first
surgery of the day.

"thank you chief" kelsey said with a smile before looking back down at her arms in the big scrub sink. webber invited her to scrub in on a cholecystectomy early this morning and they just successfully finished and closed.

"i really like trauma and ortho but i love the three specialties i'm heading towards"

"well it's good that you know what you want. offer's still up if you want it though"

"because. april caught us this morning—she seen—i'm mad at you"

"no. no us—shut up!" she said before storming away, hearing him laugh behind her.
