“This is a joke right?”

It’s well past ten o’clock, I just got done with my shift at Grey Sloan Memorial a little while ago and now I’m standing on Hayes’ doorstep like a mad woman. Cormac stood there in his dark sweats and white t-shirt looking as handsome as ever.

“Meredith told you.” He opened the door wider for me to step in and I did. Cormac led us over to his couch for us to have this discussion he so obviously wanted to avoid.

“Of course she did, you resigned.”

“I had too.”

“So your plan was to leave without saying goodbye?” I’m trying my best to keep it together in front of him right now. Cormac and I dated for a couple months but his sons had a hard time coming to terms with their dad moving on from their mom so we decided to call it quits between us but even after that, we’ve been there for each other when we needed someone.

“Yes and I know it was a stupid plan but I couldn’t tell you goodbye.”

“Why not, we’re still friends Hayes.” He scoffed lightly and reached for my hand, interlacing our fingers together; something he loved to do when we were together.

“You and I both know that there’s more to us than just friends. I knew that if I had talked to you about it you would’ve given me more reasons to stay and believe me, it wouldn’t have taken much convincing either because it’s you. You’re the only reason I need to stay in Seattle.” His soft eyes flickered between mine and my lips as he spoke.

“Then why leave?”

“The boys aren’t settled here and it’s been more than a year. They’re still grieving the loss of their mother which made it difficult for them here in Seattle. I don’t want to leave you Y/N but I need to do what’s best for my boys.”

“Of course, I get it but you should’ve told me about it, I would’ve understood.” Still staring at me, Cormac gently swiped his thumb against the back of my hand as I gently pressed my shoulder against his.

“I know and I apologise for you having to find out from Meredith instead of me.”

“I forgive you for that. Just know that you and the boys will always have a home in Seattle.” We both leaned in closer until our foreheads touched. My eyes fluttered shut as we both just stayed like that for however long.

“If I had known saying goodbye to you would be this difficult I would’ve left sooner.”

“Then you would’ve had to deal with an extremely pissed off me through FaceTime.” We both laughed because it’s true, if he had done that I would’ve expressed my anger through a phone call. Our noses bumped together a couple times, our breaths fanning against each other’s lips.

“I’m going to miss you.”

“Likewise Hayes.”

Hayes made the first move to close the remaining distance between us in a bittersweet kiss and I wasted no time in returning the same amount of passion. There’s no denying that Cormac and I still love each other and if things were different, we would’ve worked out.

“You can’t kiss a lady like that as a goodbye doctor Hayes.”

“Then don’t think of it as a goodbye, think of it as a see you later.”
