You like me?
Grace Clinton x Reader
Summary: Grace likes you, but you don’t know it; you also like her and you’re sure you have no chance.
Warnings: some swearing, not much else.
*********
“You asked her yet then?” Ella asks, her, Mary and Alessia sitting down by your side. You shake your head solemnly and look out to where Grace was messing around on the training pitch with Beth.
It was a sunny day and the way the light reflected off her simply gorgeous eyes made your heart skip a few beats. “Not yet, I’m not even sure she likes me man.” You groan, sagging against the comfortable sofa.
“Jesus- Y/N, we’ve been over this. She’s so into you! Anyone can spot it from bloody miles away.” Alessia grumbles, scrubbing a hand over her face with an exasperated sigh.
“Y’know what, if anyone had told me I’d be helping two lovesick kids figure out their feelings for each other in Spain? I’d tell them to fuck off. But here I am. So c’mon,” Mary claps her hands and drags you to your feet. “get a move on. Tell her.”
You glare at her and defiantly sit back down, folding your arms. “We’re not kids, grandma. We’re adults, I’ll have you know. I pay taxes.”
“Okay, yeah sure whatever. Just piss off and let us do our puzzles.” Mary pokes you in the sides as you yelp, your sliders nearly falling into the pool as you practically leap off the giant chair.
“Dickhead! Youse lot sat down next to me!” You shout over your shoulder as you walk off, nervously approaching Grace. You’re about to ask when a ball comes flying at your face and you find yourself flat on your ass and dazed, barely aware of the small trail of blood making its way down your chin from your nostrils.
“Jesus, Clinton! You’ll damage the poor girl if you carry on!” You hear Beth shout as you blink back to reality.
Grace hoists you up, murmuring apologies and taking you to get cleaned up, dragging you to her room and into the bathroom.
After a minute of silence you speak up, “I could’ve walked you know?”
“What?” Grace asks, stopping and looking up at you from where she’s knelt down on the floor.
“I could’ve walked.” You repeat again, chuckling and helping her look for a first aid kit, cold cloth still firmly pressed against your nose.
“Oh, uh yeah. Sorry, you just, I-“
“Clinton, mate, it’s fine. Don’t sweat it.” You chuckles, triumphantly pulling the first aid kit from the cupboard with a grin, unaware of the utter heart eyes Grace was sending your way.
Eventually, you’re patched up. Not quite sure what to do, however, you sit there awkwardly while Grace cleans up the plethora of cloths and bandaids she’d gripped from the medicine cabinet to get the first aid kit.
“Hey, Clinton?” It’s then when you remember Alessia’s words,
“She’s so into you! Anyone could spot it from bloody miles away!”
“I like you.”
“I like you too, Y/L/N.”
“No, I like like you. Like… Like like.”
“Are you fuckin’ concussed?” Grace chuckles, but she’s somewhat concerned as she starts gripping your face softly in her hands, urgently but with the utmost care, her thumbs widening your eyes manually to check your pupils.
“No. I’m not. I like you, Grace. Mums.” You breathe out, the fear of rejection gripping your heart with enough force to squeeze it in half.
“Y/N… Shit…” She begins, and you’re sure this is it. The whole “but we can still be mates!” routine youd heard from many girls in the past. Until you feel her lips against yours, soft and tender and moving against you in a way that makes you convinced her lips were made to be against yours.
“I like you too.”
“You? Like me?” You ask, lips swollen and cheeks flushed. Her appearance mirrored yours in a way, although she looked considerably more pretty in your opinion.
“Yeah. Quite a lot actually, and for a while.”
She barely has time to finish her sentence before your lips are against hers again, and when you part you rest your forehead against hers, breathing heavily with the biggest smirk on your face.
“Buzzing.” You breathlessly say.
“You’ve been hanging out with Lessi too much.” She chuckles, making you slap her shoulder softly.
*******
A/N: Small one, but hope it’s enjoyed nonetheless.

I genuinely feel so sad for Grace. Like, I don’t know anymore how else to tell her Ozzy doesn’t want her?
She is such a fun, fiery, feisty, beautiful, caring, confident character person, and yet she clings to this one boy who wrote her off weeks ago… Why? Just why? No matter how many times she saw his head turn for MC, no matter how many times she asked others whether she should stay with him or not, no matter how many fights they had - she still goes on to do those ridiculous tests and still gets surprised he’s not reciprocating her advances. And then even when they decide to cool off a bit, she still picks him and still says they’re gonna make it work… Like, why not make them couple up as friends in that case, and show they’ve grown and moved on?
I just- idk, it’s really sad to me that she’s written to have very little self-respect and just comes off very shallow, when she could have so much more and deserves so much better. I can just imagine her going home after the show and rewatching it and just seeing how ridiculous it all was and her friends would probably point it out too and her and Ozzy won’t last even a week…

Ooh, I miss Lestrade :( I really like to set my MC to do something that makes Lestrade flustered unknowingly hehe. We can do that in the future more frequently right?
You will be able to, yes! Already in chapter 5 there’s at least one such one (it’s quite ridiculous, in a fun way, if I do say so myself). I can’t speak for increased frequency tho—can’t say I have counted or have a sense of that. But it will be a thing that can happen multiple times in the game and a viable way to romance Lestrade 🥰

For being a surgeon Meredith really was an oblivious mess sometimes, actually convincing herself that the normal way to deal with your undying "hatred" for someone is to curate a mixtape. Being a teen in the 80s totally taught her that version of the message of mixtapes.. right.
And then there's also the fact that you don't courate mixtapes for the people you hate, Meredith. Especially not when the finished product is basically a love letter. The logical side of her brain supplied sarcastically as she realised that not even kissing Derek Shepherd or any man in the world would ever feel intense as the thought of Addison Montgomery smiling at her. There was absolutely no straight explanation for finding out the guy you're dating is married and the first thing you notice as you escape to Joe's to get drunk is, how the song playing is reminding you of how drop dead gorgeous the wife - whose husband you're apparently screwing - is.
Meredith Grey in my hc, after realising she's "Really fucking gay" (her words - not mine) and is madly in love with Addison.
