Firsts - Mark/Lexie, PG-13caerMay 11 2009, 07:06:38 UTC
It took me a while to put into words what I was thinking. I hope it came out okay =) And let's hope this actually fits in the comment box, lol.

There are many firsts you experienced before Mark Sloan.
Your first kiss with Andrew McKinney in grade four under the slide on the playground (an innocent peck on the cheek).
Your first real kiss with Scott Holding on your 13th birthday party (also your first boy/girl party). Then your first heartbreak on the same day, when you caught him kissing Jenny Hart.
When you were 16, you brought home your first boyfriend, Mickey Talt, who played saxophone and had the dreamiest eyes in the entire class. A year later when you’re 17, he would use those eyes to get naked with you after the Prom and would become the first boy that got to 4th base

“It doesn’t count as a date,” she insists, with the sheet pulled up to her chest, the both of them still in bed despite the fact that it’s nine in the morning. It’s their day off, and they don’t have a single reason to leave for the entirety of it, so they linger, just them and the sheets, the discarded newspaper hanging precariously half on and half off of the bed, shades of grey that contrast against bright white, and her half-empty cereal bowl left over from breakfast resting on the nightstand

Awesome prompt - I still love these two. _______
He hadn't been expecting it. Not after what he had told her earlier that day, about what kind of guy he was and what she could expect of him. No, nothing prepared him for the moment a few hours later when she walked up to him, hands on her hips and a glimmer in her eyes.
"If you don't want to have a drink with me," she offered, raising her eyebrows, "then how about some sex instead?" He laughed, thinking she was joking. But she pursed her lips, dead serious, and waited for his response, and all at once she wasn't the girl he took her for.
What was he supposed to say? No?So Alex took her home (because it's his home too). He tore her clothes off halfway up the stairs, inciting mad giggles and blushing. He ripped the sheet off of his bed and wrapped her in it, trapping her in his arms and pressing her against the wall before moving in for a kiss. Lexie smiled and closed the rest of the distance, eagerly waiting for their lips to crash together for the first time

Oh, my. This was so very Alex. I always liked these two as well, and I'm glad you wrote this.
He spoke, and it was gravelly and cocky with the slightest hint of underlying meaning. "Alex Karev doesn't make mistakes."
That is so Alex that is quite uncanny. Thank you for sharing this. I didn't realize up until now how much I used to like these two. Up until the point where he forgot he slept with her LOL

GAH!!!!!!! Are you kidding me? This is PERFECT!!!! I didn't have any expectation in mind. I just thought running and posted it!
The resulting heartbreak alone (and yeah, he does have a heart go figure)was enough to ward him off forever. Oh my goodness. This line just kills me. Poor, sweet, Mark. Of COURSE he has a heart, and he got it broken so badly, why should he want to get into anything remotely romantic again?
Enough to send him running in the other direction whenever a situation arose that even looked like it was heading towards something even resembling commitment.
Beautiful. This is the best "running" response I could have asked for. Mark is always running in the other direction. He doesn't know how to have a steady and stable relationship. It's natural for him to run away.
but the sheer need to stay on equal footing with Derek is always going to be there.
Again, Poor Mark. Always comparing and trying to prove himself to be not that bad. Prove himself worthy. Especially to Derek.

I've read this over and over now, and I still can't think of a comment that does justice to how much I like it.
You capture him just beautifully. To me, it's really important when writing Mark to get the balance right between "he's Mark Sloan" and his vulnerability and you've done this impeccably here. Then you've added his struggle to change and how he's almost there . . . just wow!
(I know this is suppose to be a prompt-only comment, but whatevs, I LOVE YOU FOR THIS. I'm in the middle of a pile of paperwork and needed a reason to procrastinate.)

He sends her a text message (and he hates text messages, anyone who’s anyone knows that) with somewhat vague instructions to head down to a pier several miles from the ferry dock. Nine o’clock pm, bring a sweater, and your ass.When she gets there, all she sees is a figure, dark, lost in the shadows of the night, with some object in a hand, gleaming from the moon’s light, and an electrical lantern at the feet. The figure steps more into the lantern’s light, and she can make out Mark holding a champagne bottle and glasses, wide smile spread over his face and she laughs

I love this part:
...that Mark has a deathgrip on your hand. He cared enough to show up and that’s when you realize that’s all you need from him.
And i love how you list out their moments and somehow made it more significant by having Lexie pointing it out as a first for something.

I'm doing a few other things, and I wish I could participate more, but we'll see.
Thank you! :D
