When Mark said that he should've told Lexie sooner that he loved her. That hit me.

summary: Greys Anatomy 8x24 but make it Top Gun: Maverick

warnings: main character death, major injury, blood mention

word count: 800 words

notes: the plane ep of greys ruined my life and several of @a-reader-and-a-writer ‘s fics have re-inflicted that pain so this is for her.

•••

Rooster wanders through the woods in search of his WSO. The ground is littered with leaves that had fallen off the now bare trees. The crunch of his boots against the dried-out leaves and the sound of him screaming your name fill the air.

Between each hoarse cry, he waits a few seconds to see if you respond, but it never comes. Despite the fact that his throat is only getting drier, he refuses to even fathom the possibility that you will never answer and so he continues.

This time when he comes to a stop he hears a clinking noise. Rooster stumbles towards where the sound is coming from and sees an arm knocking against the metal of the plane.

“Oh my god!” He limps towards you as fast as he possibly can, accessing your situation as he gets closer.

You’re pinned under a large chunk of the Super Hornet. Rooster falls to his knees beside you, pushing up the visor of your helmet so he can take inventory of the small cuts littering your face. His brown eyes are filled with concern, but you still find comfort in them.

“I knew you’d find me,” you stutter.

“How are you doing under there?”

“I’ve been better.” You crack a smile but the presence of blood on your teeth further worries Rooster.

“I’m gonna get you out of here.”

Rooster stands up, ignoring the pain shooting through his leg. He uses all the strength he can muster to try and lift the hunk of metal. He manages to move it some, but not enough to free you.

“Fuck! I can’t do it,” he cries and falls to a heap on the ground.

“Are you hurt?” You ask and Rooster replies with a sad chuckle. Of course, you were still concerned about him even when facing death.

“My leg’s a little busted up and I have a head laceration but don’t worry about me. I need to focus on getting you out of there.”

“Don’t waste your energy. I’m not going to make it.”

“Don’t say that.”

“It’s true. My legs are crushed. I can’t feel my arm, it might not even be there anymore and my chest feels like it’s going to explode.”

“You’re not dead yet and I don’t plan on giving up until we get out of here.”

“Roos, I’m dying.”

“No, you’re not.”

“I am. Please… tell my family that I love them.”

“You are not dying.“

“Will you hold my hand?”

“No, I’m not holding your hand because you’re not dying.”

“Please,” a tear slips from the corner of your eye, “hold my hand.”

“No. You’re not dying today. Do you hear me?”

Rooster stands once again and tries to move the part of his plane that’s trapping you. After another unsuccessful attempt, he resigns to the fact that there is no way he will be moving it alone.

He lays down on his stomach beside you and takes your hand in his much larger one. Now that Rooster’s face is closer to yours he can hear you wheezing. Each breath you take is uneven and seems to be causing you pain.

“I love you,” he admits.

“Don’t say it just because I did and now I might die and you feel guilty.”

You’re referring to your last night spent at the Hard Deck before you shipped out for this mission. You confessed that you still loved Rooster even after being broken up for several years. You were afraid that something exactly like the situation you were in now might happen and you didn’t want to die with any regrets.

“No. I do. I do.” Rooster reassures you. “I love you. I’ve always been in love with you and I always will be.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Which is why you have to stay alive because when we get home we’re gonna get married and after that, we’ll have a few kids.”

“A few?”

“At least two or three.”

“Think we’ll have any girls?”

“Two girls, a boy, and a dog. The girls will be the oldest and they’ll tease their little brother but protect him. When they’re little we’ll make them wear matching outfits and take those cheesy family photoshoots.”

“That sounds nice.”

“We’re gonna be happy. You and I, we’re gonna have a great life, so stay with me. You can’t die because we’re supposed to be together. We’re meant to be.”

“Meant to be.” You smile as your last breath passes through your lips.

“I love you. I love you. I love you.” Rooster chants as tears cascade down his face.

He can barely see through the blur of tears as he reaches one hand to your face, gently closing your eyes. His other still clutches your cold limp one, refusing to let go until help arrives.

So my housemate has never watched Greys before and I started rewatching it a few months back. She kind of fell into it with around season 5 so it’s been real fun watching her fall utterly in love with Mark and Lexie and knowing we’re now, currently, 4 episodes away from 8x24.

I won’t be telling her by the way. It’s a right of passage we all had to go through.

I do not think there has ever been an episode of television that has emotionally destroyed me as much as 8x24 of Grey’s Anatomy. Doing a re-watch was a MISTAKE. I’m out here fighting for my life and trying not to puke from how hard I’m crying. I can't see, my eyes are swollen -- ya’ll this fictional show done fucked me up.

Grey’s Anatomy is one of many shows that no matter how many times I watched it, will always cry during it. Certain episodes that I cannot watch because there are too emotional: 2x27, 5x19, 5x22, 5x24, 6x08, 6x24, 8x24, 9x01, 10x24, 11x21, 15x19 and so many more.
