This idea appeared in my head a few months ago and has refused to leave me alone. It's a GA re-write with a different ship: Meredith/Derek/Nathan. I am an avid lover of merder and merthan, and I decided to mix both wonderful ships to see what would happen. Due to the unique nature of this fic, there is only one chapter written because I want to see how people will react to it before I write more! So, kindly ask that you review this little pet project of mine!


Hot. That was the first thought to cross Meredith's mind as she began waking up. An odd feeling since her house had always been a little drafty, even during summer a sweater was necessary during the early mornings, but apparently two delectable bodies create a lot of warmth. Wait. Two bodies? Now, waking up with a one night stand is not a pleasant experience and sadly she has experienced her fair share of clingy guys, but this is a first.

Lifting her head, she examined the scene around her, her already messy house was even worse as clothes from three bodies were scattered around the living room, a knocked over box (Meredith suspected that happened when one with the accent pushed blue eyes against the wall) and several blankets thrown on the ground. It had been one heck of a night, but it's now morning and she has a job to do. Untangling herself from the boys, Meredith wraps a blanket around her naked body before picking up some pillows to drop at them.

Blue eyes was the first one up, stretching to work out the kinks that had developed on his body from sleeping on the floor and the marathon of sex he had last second guy was a little slower, mumbling curses under his breath, his accent thicker this morning than it was last night at the bar, but not as thick as it was when he was fucking her in the kitchen table. Her missing bra was suddenly handed to her by blue eyes. "This is uh.."

"This is humiliating on so many levels." there were bite marks all over her body and her bra was missing."You have to go..." she said taking a step backwards as they started moving.

"Why don't you just come back down here and we'll pick up where we left off." As far as she could remember, they left off the three of them collapsing on the floor after her fifth orgasm. A small pout reached his lips when Meredith unceremoniously dropped his pants in front of him.

"No. Seriously. You have to go. I'm late, which isn't what what you want to be on your first day of work, so you need to leave…" Derek had to admit she had a good point, he should probably be at the trailer getting ready for his new job, his brand new life in Seattle, away from Addison and Mark, away from his mum and gaggle of sisters, a chance to rediscover himself… hanging out with the minx from last night and their other muscular friend sounded a whole lot more simpler, they weren't going to annoy him into talking like his sisters had, wouldn't offer fake words like his mum did, they had no idea who he was and what he was going through, and he liked that.

Noticing how she trailed off, blue eyes approached, offering her his hand. "Derek, and that's Nathan, in case you don't recall." The last part was murmured on her ear, making her shiver.

"Thanks. And um.. Meredith." She mumbled wrapping the blanket tighter around her body. Looking away from his entrancing eyes, Meredith begins speaking again, this time her tone a little more commanding." You have to leave, and take him with you." She repeated.

"Nice house." The one with the accent, Nathan, said standing up as he began putting on his pants, his gorgeous bare chest still uncovered. "Little dusty though." Great, both of them can smirk. That's what she needed, two cocky guys in her living room the day before she begins her internship. Well, technically, she had needed them last night, several times, but this is the morning and she needs to get ready.

"Odd, but nice." Derek said with a nod, looking oddly like an excited golden retriever in that moment.

"It's not mine. Well, no. Well...kind of. " This reminds her, she will have to call the home and tell them she won't be able to come in during the next few days, they won't be happy since Meredith is the only one who can get her to eat something these days, but it will be physically impossible for her to visit, so unless she can invent a machine to clone herself during the next three hours, her mum will just have to go without a visit from her. The bad thing is, her mum is likely the only person to understand that, after all, the great Ellis Grey always put her career as a surgeon over her duty as a mother.

"How do you kind of live here? You aren't a squatter are you?" Nathan asked beginning to button up his shirt.

"I moved two weeks ago from Boston. It was my mother's house. I'm selling it." Though her med school was paid for by her mum and scholarships, there is no way she will be able to afford continue living here with an intern's salary considering her mum's savings are quickly dwindling down to pay for all around care.

"Oh, I am sorry." Derek said as he buttoned up his pants. Seeing her confused expression he adds. " You said was, i am sorry for your loss." Nathan nods along with Derek, looking as confused by the other guy's small talk as Meredith is.

"Oh, my mother's not dead. She's - you know what? She is..You know what? We don't have to do the thing.. The thing - exchange details, pretend we care. Look, i'm gonna go upstairs and take a shower okay? And when I get back down here, the two of you won't be here, so, um… goodbye Derek. Bye Nathan." Derek grins, making her re-think for one second the whole kicking them out thing, whilst Nathan just looks vaguely impressed by how many words she said in one go. Before they get the chance to say anything else, Meredith scurries out of the room, willing herself to forget last night so she can begin today - the first day of the rest of her life, also known, as her first day as a surgeon.

"So…" Nathan begins as he finishes getting dressed. "We came here with my car yesterday. Do you want a ride?" Even though he is already ready to move on from this incident, he is not going to leave the guy stranded here. "I have to go to the hospital, Seattle Grace, i can drop you off on the way."

"That's perfect actually. I am going to begin there today." His clothes are wrinkled, but he assumes there will be scrubs there, he will just change into them before he meets Richard to begin his day. "Are you a resident there?" Nathan doesn't look old enough to be an attending, but also too old for a resident.

"Third year. Cardio." They close the door behind them as they leave. "Starting today… Oh! Bailey did say we are getting a new Head of Neuro." A moment passed before Nathan adds. "I look forward to working under you, again." It has been a while since he has slept with someone, ever since Megan left for another tour, effectively breaking their engagement, Nathan had been concentrating on the job. Derek is hot, he may be technically his boss, but he is the head of a field he is not particularly interested in; perfect for meaningless meetings in the on call room

"Oh… Um. That sounds.." For a guy who seemed so confident last night and earlier this morning, Derek seems a bit nervous now. Oh…

"Are you into guys?"

"No. Yes. I mean… I had a lot of fun last night with you, but it was the first time I had ever done something like that." And honestly, even though he is really confused about all of this, he wouldn't mind a repeat performance. "Wouldn't I know if I was into guys? I am in my late thirties." Nathan looks at Derek from the corner of his eye, trying to judge if realizing he might not be straight will make this guy go crazy, he doesn't seem like the type, but he has only known him for a few hours and most of them weren't spent speaking.

"It's not uncommon for bisexual people to not know their sexuality until later in life. They are so used to being told they should only like one gender, they don't understand that what they feel is attraction. I did my undergrad in a very liberal college, i made out with a guy during one of the first parties and realized I enjoyed it. There is another resident, she figured out she was bisexual a few months ago because she began liking one of the cardio residents. It happens more than you would think. If you ever wanna talk about it, we meet some times with other people in the hospital who are also bi." Perhaps meaningless meetings won't work, especially if they begin meeting outside of the hospital, but it might be nice to have a friend. He is not ready for another relationship, but with Megan gone, so is Owen. It will be nice to have someone to talk to.

"Sort of like AA meetings?"

"Well… No, because those people have a problem they need to deal with, our meetings are about talking about… well, our sexualities but day to day shit as well. We don't have a subject we need to talk about, it's mostly what is happening in our lives at the moment, but sometimes if something happens that threatens us we will spend time on that subject."

The words slip out of his mouth before he can stop them. "Like what?"

"Well…" So far so good, he hasn't freaked out yet but that doesn't mean he won't later. "We had this attending, amazing surgeon, incredible in her field and great for the hospital's reputation. She discovered two residents, both female, were dating and began screaming at them. It was… it was bad. It was a bad day." Taking a deep breath, Nathan begins driving a little more slowly, not trusting his senses when he is talking about an emotional matter. "Yeah. Chief Webber fired her the next day, but the damage was done. We pretty much met everyday of that week. A support system. That's what we are. When things get tough, we meet and talk about stuff."

"That sounds nice. Really nice actually." That actually sounds perfect. He grew up in a house that was always filled to the brim; he enjoys the quiet of the OR and of his new home, but it will be nice to create some friends, to know he can rely on someone when something happens.

Derek is quiet during the next five minutes, only speaking when they pull up at the hospital. "Thanks, and yeah.I think I might take you up on your offer. See you around Nathan?" Derek shoots Nathan a dazzling smile, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes, thoughts about this different life he is building clouding his thoughts.

"Yeah. See you Derek." Nathan stays in the car for a few more minutes, making sure he doesn't have sex hair and re-reading one last time about a surgery he will be assisting Burke today. Just as he gets ready to leave his car, he spots a familiar blonde getting out of a blue car. Meredith.

Well… This is bound to be interesting.


Once again: please remember to review! i want to see if there are people who will actually read this!
