Damn it, Avery!
"So yeah, Mark notices things, but he doesnât need to be in full observation mode (Callie would say heâs nosy, but what does she know?) to notice Avery fidgeting in his seat in front of him as Kepner joins her paramedic and the pastor and the ceremony starts."
A silly little AU, because we deserved to have Mark react to Japril's shenanigans.
___
If the trauma surgery thing doesnât pan out, Kepner should be an event planner.
Markâs not usually a wedding fan, but when youâre engaged to Lexie Grey and have been planning your own wedding for the past months, you start noticing things you didnât use to. For example, as heâs watching Kepner walk down the aisle of a carefully-decorated barn, he makes a mental note of asking her where she got these little mint-to-be favors â he actually thinks theyâre kind of lame, but Lexie squealed when she saw them and thought they were cute, and what Lexie Grey wants for their wedding, Lexie Grey will get.
So yeah, Mark notices things, but he doesnât need to be in full observation mode (Callie would say heâs nosy, but what does she know?) to notice Avery fidgeting in his seat in front of him as Kepner joins her paramedic and the pastor and the ceremony starts.Â
And itâs funny, because Mark used to think (still does, if heâs being honest), that Avery and Kepner would have made a decent couple. Â

Catherine looked out into the crowd, a donor rambling about something to her left. She noticed the trauma surgeon dancing with one of the many men who were eyeing her tonight, but she didnât see her son. Scanning the room, she searched for her child on the dance floor. Then, by the food. When she didnât see him, she turned her attention towards the darkened bar. There she saw Jackson nursing his drink, eyes trained back out to the center of the room, to April.
She tried to hide her smirk behind her glass. She had really outdone herself.Â
The two landed in Boston earlier this morning, after spending the night in Ohio. They would have flown out immediately after Aprilâs reunion if the Kepner matriarch hadnât spotted Jackson waiting for her daughter outside as she grabbed her luggage. Karen had brought the plastic surgeon into her home, sweet as ever, and killed him with a little midwestern hospitality.
Catherine had met the two on the tarmac, waiting for them in her limo. They had stumbled off the plane weary from the hectic events of the day prior, not knowing what they were about to walk into.
April smiled warmly at Catherine despite the anxious energy radiating off of her in waves. She took in the moment and absorbed her mentor and iconâs presence as Jackson kissed his motherâs cheek and mumbled something about always being trapped in her antics. By the time Jackson asked her why she wanted the two in Boston, the driver pulled up in front of the Avery estate. Jackson stepped out of the car, expecting the two women to follow, but the car sped off leaving him alone in the dust. Her phone vibrated, surely Jackson complaining over text, but Catherine trusted that her assistant could handle him.
With her phone on silent and the man in question out of the car, Catherine dragged his best friend off on a bit of retail therapy. There was no way she would let the trauma surgeon attend an Avery Foundation Gala without the proper attire. It didnât hurt that when she pried and asked all the intrusive questions Jackson griped about, April tried her best to answer, and even when she couldnât, Catherine could read the young doctor like an open book. The questions were just for fun. All it took was just one look for Catherine to confirm what she knew this whole time. From the way April looked at her son, she knew he had a chance.
Now, illuminated under the floor lights, the normally shy surgeon glowed brightly. Her hair flowed down to her back in loose, fiery waves. The delicate diamonds in her jewelry caught the lights and flickered back to the audience. The black dress Catherine had chosen fit April perfectly and showed a little skin. It was sleeveless and tight, something she knew would drive her son crazy.
Slowly, she approached Jackson at the bar, effortlessly ending the conversation with the man droning on about budgets as she walked. He didnât notice her presence, too busy mentally strangling the promising surgeon who had the pleasure of dancing with April.
âAre you going to do something about that?â she asked into the lip of her champagne flute. Jackson stopped staring daggers into the man for a second to look at his mother. Realization flitted across his face.
âWha-â
âI always know, Jackson. Iâm your mother.â Jackson huffed beside her, peeved his mother was inserting herself in his love life again.
âI canât. SheâsâŚâ he hesitated, âApril.â
Catherine rolled her eyes. When has Jackson Avery not chased after a woman he liked? The two returned to watching the dance floor and back out at the redhead dancing in another manâs arms. April smiled at the blond, leaning in to say something and blushing as his hands dropped to the small of her back. Jackson clenched his fist, resisting the urge to pry the surgeonâs hands off his best friend and off the place where he had his hand last night.
âIf you donât do anything, Jackson, youâre more of an idiot than I raised you to be.â His brows pinched, a frown etched into his face as his mother patted his cheek. Catherine sauntered off, a donor quickly joining her side as the two discussed one of the foundationâs many projects.
Jackson tightened his grip around his cup, fingertips turning white with the pressure. Taking a deep breath in, he chugged the remaining amber liquid and made his way to the dance floor.Â
He avoided the other couples dancing to the song the live band was playing, sidestepping every couple of seconds. He heard her giggle, her tiny frame hidden away behind the blondâs broad shoulders.Â
Jackson cleared his throat, shaking off the jealousy that started surging its way through his veins. She caught sight of him first, feet stopping as she met his gaze.
âJackson,â April sighed breathlessly.
It was now or never.Â
âCan I steal my girlfriend away for a second?â Jackson sent a poisonous smile to the other surgeon. The man April was dancing with quietly apologized to Jackson as he stepped back. Confusion flittered across the trauma surgeonâs face, hazel eyes meeting his blue ones.Â
Her hands slowly dropped to her sides, stepping closer to her best friend under the bright lights that illuminated the dance floor. Her voice dropped to a whisper, words exchanged for just the two to hear. âThis isnât my reunion, Jackson. You donât have to pretend to be my boyfriend.âÂ
âI know that.â He brought his hand to her wrist, thumb brushing against the thin metal bracelet encircling her wrist. Sliding his hand into hers, he raised it and placed the other on her waist. April resumed her position, placing her hand gently on his shoulder as she followed his lead.
April stood back, gasping as Jackson pulled her closer. Bodies pressed together, she tilted her gaze away from him, scared that the rosy blush of her skin would betray her.
He dropped his lips to the exposed crook of her neck, taking her breath away. Jackson took a deep breath in, the faint perfume she sprayed on earlier filling his lungs. Swallowing, he gathered the courage to ask.Â
âAnd what if it wasnât pretend?â

for the weekend sleepover ask game: what are your favorite Grey's headcanons?
aaaaahhhh beachy i love chatting with you! <3
i need alex & jackson & april to move in together and be, like a weird group of 3. sort of a grover-percy-annabeth or a katara-sokka-aang in terms of the cheesy couple and their weird best friend who has emotional regulation issues but, like, needs hugs. he just also needs you to be chill so he doesn't feel embarrassed. and when he's sick he also wants japril to watch movies with him and make him chamomile tea
jackson fell first but april fell harder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can we please give matthew some actual character development because i would LOVE to see him actually grow & develop. I'm an exchristian and I really loved the episode where matthew & april talked about her not being a virgin because I found it very insightful and lovely.
I am team-matthew's wife never dies and april never marries matthew and he actually gets to grow as a human being. also he gets to be happy.
I always loved April as christian representation because she is a christian but is so kind (and I also headcanon that she has very complex feelings about christianity and the struggle against god. I can see her partly deconstructing.)
I am team-everyone lives AU. teddy and henry were CUTE. so were teddy and alison, and merder (who are not, like, my absolute favorites but I want them to be happy and I want derek to become a better person, not die because he reached for his phone while turning his truck.)
IF SAMUEL HAD LIVED AND JAPRIL COULD HAVE GOTTEN A STORYLINE ABOUT RAISING A DISABLED KID !!!! IT COULD HAVE BEEN GOOD DISABILITY REP!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am also team "Link and Amelia get back together" because I LOVE their romance and am so mad they broke up
I realize not all of these are headcanons. this is just a list of what I want to see. WHATEVER???
nonbinary callie because [gestures at sara ramirez in all their glory]
CALLIE AND ARIZONA SECOND WEDDING TO RENEW THEIR VOWS
also mark & lexie live happily ever ever ever after and they dance at the second wedding <3
okay we both love japril so also
Jackson is really good at crosswords and April is so fucking pissed at him for it
April (with Jackson's consent) yells at Jackson's dad for being terrible and Jackson becomes weird best friends with April's dad. They drink beer and listen to country songs and talk about, like, spirituality and god and soccer games and cherry pie recipes. Jackson learns how to drive a tractor and he meets Jackson, the pig April named after him, which the Kepners refuse to kill because HE IS NAMED A HUMAN NAME.
They also talk about April's embarrassing cute childhood (Jackson has 65353 pictures on his phone) and Jackson ALSO yells at April's family for making her feel embarrassed. Kids with disabilities and braces don't need to be shamed and mocked.
Jackson becomes friends with April's dad because he gets to have a dad (well, aside from Webber, who is also a nice dad figure) who loves him for HIM :'))))))))))))))
it's very healing and wonderful. he totally cries on mr. kepner's flannel shirt.
Jackson keeps his lucky pencil from med school and fucking signs his marriage certificate with it. (Office person voice: Sir, that's not valid. We need BLACK or BLUE PEN.)
JACKSON AND APRIL START A GLOBAL HEALTH NONPROFIT
Can we please have an April-centric storyline about why the US military fucking sucks and she had a nice time with them but was also, uh, IN THE MILITARY
April goes to her med school reunion and is like, "oh? this guy? yeah, whatever, he's super famous. mostly he just makes me tea and hangs out with our kids, I don't think of him as an AVERY"
everyone is super impressed. jackson is silly and goofy and eats hors d'ouevres with her
can we please get a Reed Lives AU because I LOVE REED (mostly because i am gay and i think she has cool hair) and I want to see more of her and April's friendship.
marginally off-topic rant but: the San Francisco episodes where they're doing the board exams and japril has sex in the bathroom? MY HEADCANON - VERY SLIGHT - IS THAT THEY WOULD JUST HAVE SEX ON THE COUNTER, NOT GO INTO THE STALL AND SLAM THE DOOR SHUT
BECAUSE WHY WOULD YOU NEED TO LOCK THE STALL AND HAVE SEX IN THERE IF THE MAIN BATHROOM DOOR IS ALREADY LOCKED?????????
also, april totally takes kickboxing lessons after beating up that guy at the bar (at the boards) and Jackson is just Very Turned On by his cool friend who, like, comes home from kickboxing all SWEATY? and BRUISED? taking off the tape around her hands and peeling off her tank top to get in the shower? it's really hot and he's very confused.

The Penis Game & Group Projects
(Hi, this is a japril med school au I found in my drafts. For this story Iâm going with Aprilâs first reason for being a virgin that she revealed in 7x07, saying she wanted it to be special, instead of using her religion. Hope you guys enjoy)
âI know mom.â Jackson Avery said for what felt like the billionth time into his cell phone. For the entire 10 minute duration, from his room on campus to the library, his mother, Dr Catherine Avery has been scolding him.
âJackson I know youâre in college but you need to stop sleeping around so much or be more discrete. Youâre not in your under grad anymore youâre in med school. More importantly at Harvard where half of our coworkers children attend school.âÂ
âIâm well aware of it.â Jackson replied while rolling his eyes and striding up the giant concrete steps leading up to the Countway Library
Itâs not like he sleeps around that much. In Jacksonâs opinion, the fellow âlegaciesâ of Harvard needed to mind their own fucking business, but he would never say that aloud while talking to his mom.Â
âYour grandfather and I are tired of your indiscretions being gossip here. So Iâm setting you up with a date for the fall fundraiser.âÂ
âWhat? No. Youâre not.â He grasped the libraryâs door handle way harder than what was needed and swung the door open as he entered the building. Anytime his mother has tried to âset him upâ in the past it was one of the younger staffers or a friendâs daughter, anyone who would be her little spy. Picking up whatever his mother didnât hear through the grape vine.Â
âWant to bet?âÂ
âYou canât because-â trying to come up with a good lie quickly, while looking for his study group was harder than one would think. The libraryâs arched ceiling went up to two stories tall and their study area was filled with evenly spaced tables; the way they were lined up made it goes as long as half a football field. Scanning his eyes through the dispersed crowd of people: the guy in the very back corner who thinks he is inconspicuously watching porn, but in reality, everyone has known he does that since the first year of undergrad; the Aryan study group, all of them had blonde hair with blue eyes. Some of them were stupid enough to tweet things with the hashtag #AllLivesMatter or even worse #WhiteLivesMatter; there was an attractive girl studying by herself, and two tables away from her was just who he was looking for. Charles Percy, he was wearing his ridiculous neon yellow shirt. Jackson was pretty sure no one else in Massachusetts owned it.Â
âJackson, I donât have all day here.â His mother said sounding less impressed than she had throughout the entire conversation. Bringing him back to his need for an excuse.Â
âYou canât set me up with someone because ⌠Because I have a girlfriend.â He stuttered out while walking towards his friends.Â
âSince when? Who is she? Are you bringing her out to brunch on Sunday? You remembered weâre having brunch right?âÂ
âMom we have brunch the third Sunday of every month of course I remember. Itâs uh really new and I canât get into any details right now cause I have to go bye.â Jackson hung up before his mother could say anything else.
âSo since when do you have a girlfriend Jackie?â One of Jacksons best friends, Alex Karev smirked. Of course, Alex had to hear his lie.Â
âShut up. My mom was trying to set me up with one of her minions again.â Jackson said while sitting down.Â
âWhatâs this imaginary girlfriendâs name?â Charles asked joining in with Alex. Â
âLook it doesnât matter, Iâll tell my mom itâs too new for them to meet each other and then, both conveniently and tragically, weâll break up just before the gala.âÂ
âDude, you think that will actually work? Your mom is probably stalking your facebook right now looking for your fake girlfriend.â
âThis issue is more than a month away, Iâm more worried about the fact I have to memorize all of these reading tomorrow, Since Webbers going to grill me.â Jackson sighed.Â
Professor Webber was one of the most highly respected faculty members on staff. He taught with such a passion anyone would want to learn from him. But he was a hard ass who loved to pick on his students all the time. Especially with Jackson, and for no apparent reason.Â
Almost two hours had passed since Jackson sat down with his group. The three men stopped actually studying 15 minutes ago and for the past ten have been playing the penis game.
âPenis.â Charles whispered, this was one of these more arbitrary choices for a game, but it helped pass the time.Â
âPenis.â Alex said at the same octave, completely missing the point of the game. He and Charles were too big of chickens to scream the word in the library, but Jackson was so bored he went with the lengthening the time of the game.Â
âPenis.â Jackson repeated less than a decibel higher. Charles and Alex continued following the same tone as the person before them. Jackson was getting ready to get it to a normal noise level. Licking his top lip then proceeding to press it with his bottom lip making the p sound âpe-â
âPENIS.â A very loud, very feminine voice bellowed startling all three men, and the entire library. âThere the game is over. Now can you guys please shut up so people can study in peace?â Asked the pretty girl Jackson noticed when he first arrived.Â
Although she still tried to sound as assertive as she was screaming, any hardness to her voice was basically gone, replaced by a soft almost endearing tone.
She took their silence as a yes and went back to reading her textbook. Jackson was completely speechless. The only other person he never knew how to reply sometimes was his mother. He was so impressed he wanted to know this girls name. Before he could ask, her phone started ringing and she was gone.
As soon as she left Alex was the first to speak âI donât think Iâve ever played that game and had a girl win.â
âHave you ever actually played the penis game with a girl before?â Jackson asked.
âOh God! I knew I knew her from somewhere. Oh no.â Charles mumbled actually looking sick to his stomach.
âDude, who are you talking about?â Alex asked furrowing his eyebrows, neither he nor Jackson could follow what Charles was talking about half the time.\
âThat girl, she was with the one who made out with me at the frat party two weeks ago.â Charles put his face in his hands as he continued, âand now sheâll probably tell her friend Iâm an idiot, who plays the penis game in the library.â âWait which chick did you kiss?âÂ
âIâve been trying to find her since the party. Donât you guys listen to anything I say?â Charles was met with two blank stares from his friends. âThe one with the pixie cut and rose tattoo on her arm.â
âOh yeah, we thought you gave up on her like a week ago.â Jackson said.
âItâs college, and youâre in med school. Women throw themselves at us once they find out. Just move on.â Alex added. - After they were done studying the three boys parted ways from the library. Without any plans and not really in the mood to go back to his dorm, Jackson found himself wandering to the closest coffee shop.Â
It was a very comforting place, the smell of coffee beans greeting him as soon as he entered, plush leather couches to rest on, a shelf full of book one could borrow during their stay here, and acoustic songs playing softly in the background.Â
Jackson made his way to the back of the line and couldnât be happier with what he saw ahead of him, the cashier was his mystery girl. She welcomed every customer with a contagious smile and listened attentively to every word they said. Her hair is tied in a high ponytail, that bounced beautifully every time her head moves. By the time Jackson was the next person in line he has studied every inch of her that could be seen above the counter. He knows it sounds weird but she intrigues him.Â
âI can help whoâs next.â She called out while passing the latest coffee order she took to the person on bar. As she looked up her entire demeanour changed âWhat can I get for you?âÂ
âIâll get a medium americano, and I would like to apologize for me and my friends earlier. We had no intentions of disrupting your studying.â
âThat the entire point of the game.â she laughed âAnd your name?âÂ
âJackson, can I get yours.âÂ
âYour total is $2.58.â She replied
âYou never answered my question,â Jackson said to her as he passed a $5 bill. âAnd keep the change.â
âMy name? Nah, I donât trust people with last names as first names.â This girl amused him more and more with each second that passed by.
âYou know thatâs quite prejudicial of you.â Jackson told her while giving her the âlook.â Whenever he used his eyes he always got what he wants. Out of trouble with adults as a child, teachers giving him extensions on projects, and dates lot and lots of dates.Â
âI guess Iâm a biased person, you can pick up your drink at the left. I can help whos next.â Correction, Jacksons eyes usually always got him what he wants.
âI have a medium Americano for a uh-uh. Just an uh medium americano.â The male barista called out with a peculiar expression. Jackson picked up the steaming cup, unsure as to what would cause the guys expression. What was wrong with his drink? It looked like an Americano and when he put it up to his nose it smelt like one. Everything seemed perfectly normal. That was until he noticed what was on the side of the cup, with perfect writing âPENIS.â - When Sunday came around Jackson wore one of his favourite suits. A grey Giorgio Armani, with a very tiny pinstripe pattern, that was altered perfectly for him. On more than one occasion, when Jackson went to these brunches people assumed he was going to church. To many Christian girls, he looked the perfect part to be their dream guy. Because of this, he was often given many numbers belonging to girls with crosses on their necks. He even hooked up with a couple of them (on a different day), but nothing more. The one thing that destroyed each and everyone girls fantasy was the fact heâs an atheist.Â
He was raised to believe in science and only things that can be proven. That was the entire ironic part to him, so many of the women that wanted him believed in love at first sight and there is only one person theyâre meant to be with. Jackson doesnât even believe in the concept of soulmates, theyâre ridiculous to him. How could someone actually believe that out of the seven billion people on this planet youâre only compatible with one of them. And how is it even possible that this one person is even in the same geographical region as their âsoul mate.âÂ
Jackson arrived at brunch right on the dot, at 9 am. Â
âYouâre late.â His mother greeted him.
âYou said to meet at 9 o'clock, itâs 9!âÂ
âAnd I also say on time is five minutes early. Now kiss your mothers cheek and sit down.â He did as told, after kissing his mothers cheek he sat down in the seat directly across from her. âSo where is she?â His mother asked peeking her head behind him.
âWho?â Jackson questioned turning to face where she was looking, unsure of whom she was looking for.Â
âDonât play dumb, Jackie. Where is your girlfriend?â Oh yeah⌠He âhadâ a girlfriend.Â
âMom-â
âOh c'mon Jackson, itâs not like Iâm going to psychology damage her. I just want to meet the girl thatâs making my son happy.â Â
âWeâre still really new and I donât want to rush it, mom.â Although his mom has meddled with his love life since he started dating, today she looked so genuinely excited. It made him feel awful about creating this lie. He kept telling himself if he didnât, the night of the fundraiser would be a terrible setup. And as a bonus, when his fake girlfriend (hypothetically) breaks his heart, his mother wonât yell at him for getting lucky with someone at the galaâŚ. And that thought was even worse if he kept this up the title of worlds most terrible son would be his soon. âI really care about her, but I will bring her to the gala.âÂ
âOh alright, can I get her name?â The one problem in an otherwise full proof plan.. Jane Doe? Suzy Homemaker? No name?
âNo, I donât need you internet stalking her. You can find out at the gala.âÂ
âFine, Iâll meet her then and she will tell me everything about herself. Speaking of the gala, since itâs on a Saturday night, and that function will go until the sun rises, I want to move our monthly brunch. What day is it your classes start later.âÂ
âThursday.â Â
âPerfect, we will meet the Thursday before the gala. Make sure, you put the changed date in your calendar.â - âAlright everyone, as you know, your Objective Structured Clinical Exams are coming up in the next couple of months. Last class, I gave you all 7 different patients to study, all with different symptoms. Letâs see who actually did their work.â Professor Webber looked down at his classroom list to call on names. âMs Murphy.âÂ
âUgh yes, sir.â A tall girl, with long dirty blonde hair, and very prominent cheek bones replied.Â
âPatient four.â
âUh, patient four.â The girl repeated in a questioning matter.
âYes, tell your class about patient four.â
âUm..âÂ
âDo you know what case Iâm even talking about?â There was no response to his question, just silence.Â
âHow could someone not do the assignments Webber gave? Thatâs like showing up to class naked.â Jackson whispered to his friend, completely baffled at what he is witnessing.
âA complete moron.â Alex replied.
âMr Karev, tell me about patient four.â Professor Webber said, startling both Alex and Jackson.Â
âPatient four is in recovery after surgery and is having respiratory problems.â âWhat is your diagnosis?â
âPost-op pneumonia, I would have her put on antibiotics right away.â Alex answered, voice full of confidence.
âThe drugs have been administrated and nothing has changed over night. She still has shortness of breath what now?â Professor Webber askedÂ
âI.. donât know.â He answered truthfully
âName the causes of post-op fever.âÂ
âYes sir..â Alex quickly grabs his notes for reference.
âFrom your head. Not from a book. Donât look it up, learn it, it should be in your head. Name the common causes of post-op fever.â  âUhâŚthe common causes of post-opâŚâÂ
âCan anybody name the common causes of post-op fever?â Professor Webber looks away from Alex, asking the entire class now. Jackson felt bad for his friend, usually, only Webber grilled him this bad. âGo ahead,â Webber said looking at someone further back than Jackson and Alex.
âWind, water, wound, walking, wonder drugs. The five Ws. Most of the time itâs wind, splinting or pneumonia. Pneumoniaâs easy to assume, especially if you donât run tests.â Said a feminine voice, the same one from the library and the cafe last week.
âWhat do you think is wrong with patient 4?â
âThe fourth W, walking. I think theyâre a prime candidate for pulmonary embolism.â She replied to their instructor, completely sure of herself. âAnd how would you diagnose?â
âSpiral CT, VQ scan, provide O2, dose with Heparin, and consult for an IVC filter.âÂ
âThank you, ugh, Miss?âÂ
âKepner, sir.â She said sounding timider than just before. For the rest of the lecture, Webber tortured other students with these cases. Shockingly he left Jackson alone.Â
âSome of you succeeded today while others failed miserably.  Not only is this preparing you for your tests, itâs also the basis of your upcoming project. Iâm assuming the majority of you wonât like this but youâll be in groups of my choosing. I wonât take any complaints because no matter whether you go into research, radiology, dermatology, gynaecology, surgery or any other option you will have to learn to work with your colleagues as a team. You and your partner will have to create a case. Then you will share your case to five different groups and they will show you thereâs. I just sent an email with a list of every group.âÂ
Everyone in the class whipped their phones out to look for said email. Jackson refreshed his phone five times before the email appeared in his inbox. As soon as he clicked it he skipped down to the bottom for the attachment.Â
He quickly read every name âAlexandra Grey and George O'Malleyâ doesnât know the girl, sort of knows George; a bit of a nerd but he is always kind to everyone. âIsobel Stevens and Ryan Scott.â Sheâs a part time underwear model while heâs a full-time douche. A bunch of people he barely knows are listed, he sees his best friends name âAlex Karev and Reed Adamsonâ no clue who she is. Then he notices mystery girls last name, Kepner, and he couldnât stop himself from smiling at the last name he saw beside hers. âApril Kepner and Jackson Avery.â - âOh God.â April sighed, slouching further into the uncomfortable seat. One would think for the $53,000+ dollars each student in this room is paying to attend such a prestigious place like Harvard, the university could afford seats with some cushioning. April didnât really care about that right now though, she would sit on a chair made of thorns if it would swallow her up and take her away from this situation.Â
âWhatâs wrong?â Her best friend since under grad, Lexie Grey, asked.Â
âLook who my partner is.â April said passing her phone.Â
âOh,â Lexie replied, giving April her phone back. âWell, he doesnât seem like that bad of a guy. Plus I know you find him attractive.âÂ
âWhat? No!â April gasped, sitting up straight. Obviously, she did but he was cocky and ignorant.Â
âCalm down anyone with a working pair of eyes would agree.â Lexie smirked. âBut with the reaction you just gave now, I know you like him.â That sentenced causes a giant scowl to appear on Aprils face.Â
âWhat on good gods earth makes you think that?â April asked.
âYou never get this bent out of shape over a guy.â Lexie laughed while getting out of her chair and collecting her belongings. April was quick to copy her actions but was in no way finished with this conversation.Â
âI have no interest in talking to or dealing with some egotistical guy who thinks he can get everything because heâs pretty.âÂ
âSo you do think heâs attractive. While youâre working on this project make sure you get some of that Jackson action.âÂ
âNever ever say that again.â Â April pleaded.
âYou better remove that scowl from your face, because your pretty boy is walking right this way. See you later girl, I need to go find George.âÂ
Once Lexie left the auditorium, April turned around to become, face to face with him.Â
âSo, April. Iâm glad I finally know your name.â Jackson greeted her along with a beautiful smile showing off his perfect straight white teeth, he looked like he should be in an ad for Colgate. Â
âIâm glad to know youâre competent enough to read an email.â She knew she was being rude, acting in the complete opposite manner to the way she was raised, but she couldnât help it, he was so irritating. âIt will make it a lot easier to work on this project.â To her surprise this comment made his smile grow even wider, and he even let out a chuckle.Â
âYou know, I canât believe I never noticed you were in my class.âÂ
âWell I am, we even have Bailey and Hunts classes together.âÂ
âGlad to see youâre keeping an eye on me.â He said giving her the same look in the coffee shop.Â
âAs much as I hate to cut this conversation short, I need to go to my next class,â April told him, she needed to get away from him because she might do or say something irrational, like try and kiss him or smack him, or even worse, both. In all honesty, sheâd probably choose the latter option making her seem even crazier.Â
âWell I have a two-hour break before my lab, Iâll walk you there. Then we can talk about our project.â Â
As much as she wanted to say ânoâ it was like she forgot how to pronounce that word. So she picked up her bag and lead the way up the stairs. Unsure of how to start she remained silent for a few seconds.Â
âI just have a question.âÂ
âYeah?âÂ
âDid you show up to Thursdayâs class?â
âAnd here I thought you were going to talk about our project.â April rolled her eyes as they entered the hall way. âYes, I worked an early shift at the coffee shop, it actually caused me to be a bit late. Luckily for me, Webber was so focused on grilling you with a thousand questions, that he didnât even notice me sneak in.âÂ
âYeah, Iâm shocked Webber didnât call on me today. And Iâm assuming you were on the closing shift the night before when you so nicely wrote penis on my cup. So why were you opening at the ass crack of dawn, the next day?âÂ
âHey, you have to admit that was pretty funny.â April giggled to herself mainly. âIâm usually who they call when they need a shift covered, and ugh sadly scholarships donât cover everything.â She said uncomfortably, it was no secret Jackson came from money, the majority of this school had wealthy backgrounds. April on the other hand, grew up on a farm in a town no one here would have ever heard of or care to know of its existence.Â
âOh yeah, it was so funny I started referring to you as Penis Girl before I learned your actual name.âÂ
âWhat?!??â Penis Girl implies, that sheâs either a) a trans woman - which isnât a bad thing itâs just she recognizes how easier her life is as a cisgender woman - or b) a woman whoâs probably been up close and personal with lots of penises. Truth be told the only male genitals April has ever seen with her own eyes are pictures in her medical textbook. Â
âIâm messing with you I didnât actually call you that. When are you free?â Jackson asked, quickly adding. âSo we can ugh actually start the project.âÂ
âIâm not sure, Iâll check my work schedule and email you when I know.âÂ
âOr you could just text me it.â Jackson said stepping to the side so their forearms grazed.Â
âI donât have your number.â April told him trying to move away from him - she couldnât think straight when he did that.
âWell, that could easily be changed.â His voice was full of confidence and kind of cocky. It reminded her of when he went to her work. As attractive as he was, there is no way in hell she would let him manipulate her so he could get what he wanted.
âThatâs not necessary, bye Jackson.â April chuckled, desperately trying to hide her smile as she went into class. Messing with Jackson brought such a simple easy pleasure to her day. - April laid her body on her plush, floral duvet. Nights like this were her favourite: no makeup, wearing a pair of cosy sweat pants and a pizza to share between her and Lexie. And she couldnât be happier to see her friend. The only time theyâve seen each other this week was in class, whenever one had free time outside of school, the other one didnât.Â
âSo whoâs the new guy in your life?â April asked Lexie. This caused a shocked look to appear on her friends face. âItâs kind of obvious when we were getting the pizza you couldnât stop a smile from forming on your face every time your phone buzzed. Also every time you replied youâd check your phone two seconds later.âÂ
âUm.. he⌠he is -uh-heâs older,â Lexie told her obviously nervous, not only was one of her hands playing with her hair, she was stuffing a pizza slice in her mouth - not even chewing, with her other hand. Two tell tale signs April has picked up over the years.Â
âSo youâve dated guys older than you before?â Lexieâs lack of response is what worried April. âWhat is he your dadâs age?âÂ
âWell, heâs closer to my dadâs age than mine. But-but thatâs not the issue.â Lexie sighed grabbing another slice of pizza.
âIs he a convicted felon?â April knew Lexieâs type of guy had always been interesting. They were always attractive but they each had a stereotypical bad boy vibe to them. Maybe she was tired of just having a vibe and went for the real thing, with a felony to match his status.
âWhat? No April! Why is that the first thing you go to?â Rolling her eyes, making it very obvious how ridiculous April sounded.Â
âWell, youâre acting really sketchy.âÂ
âItâs Mark Sloan!â Â She blurted out, both girls were well known to suffer from word vomit, no matter how hard either of them tried to swallow what they said down their throats. Â
âPr-Pro-Professor Sloan? That Mark Sloan?â
âYes, Iâm the girl that sleeps with Professor. Iâm that girl.â Lexie said shoving her hands into her face. âBut itâs so good, like mind blowingly go-â quickly shutting up to the sound of Aprilâs door opening.Â
âWhatâs mind blowingly good?â Aprils dorm mate, Reed Adamson asked. Reed liked April and vice versa they just ran in different social circles. Both had the type of personality that took time for most people to grow on but for different reasons: April was considered too perky, too by the book; Reed was often seen as a cold hearted bitch. Each of the personalities grew on Lexie, but sheâd choose April over Reed any day. Especially with something as personal as the topic of discussion right now.Â
âThe pizza, you know how much Lexie loves food. Tonight we got pizza with peppers and a pesto sauce drizzled on top. Sheâs in love.â April lied, well nothing she said was false, it was a conversation that occurred (the previous week).Â
âOkay, well Iâll be out of your hair soon. Iâm getting dick tonight and have no plans of being back in this room till tomorrow morning. You can sleep in my bed, if you want, Lexie.â Reed said pointing to her bed across the room. After grabbing some stuff including a tube of lipstick and a red lace bra, she was gone.
âSo, back to our conversation,â April said wanting to go to the previous conversation before they were interrupted. Itâs not like April wanted to hear every detail of Lexieâs sex life, but she wanted her friend to be able to discuss whatâs going on in her life. Otherwise, Lexie would blow and have a worse case of word vomit - than what had just occurred, and it would likely be in front of the wrong person.
âYeah, you want to talk about how Iâm the unknown class slut.âÂ
âShut up, youâre not a bad person. Youâve always owned your sexuality. Why are you acting any different now?âÂ
âI think youâre the wisest virgin Iâve ever met. Or did you decide to take my advice and take a ride on Jacksonâs di-â
âNo!â April blushed.
âLook I know you said you want it to be special, but in all honestly itâs a social construct created by men that think their dick is life changing. Speaking from personal experience, the only guy thatâs given amazing sex is Mark. Thatâs one out of the six guys Iâve slept with. But from the looks of Jackson, and the rumours around campus -although how many of those girls can you actually trust that theyâve slept with him - heâs pretty special.â
âWill you stop with that. Heâs a classmate, that I have to do a project with. Thatâs all.â April huffed, she definitely didnât want to hear or imagine any of his previous rendezvous. Â
âIf you say so.â Lexie said picking up the last slice of pizza from the box. - âThat went so good.â Jackson grinned as they exited the doors of Professor Webberâs class. After two weeks of emailing back and forth, and all of the previous evenings spent together perfecting their case, it was finished.Â
âWe were on fire!â April agreed, unable to contain her bouncing from excitement. âI still canât believe only three other groups correctly diagnosed all of their cases.â Saying that made both of their smiles grow even bigger.Â
âWhat can I say, we are an amazing team.â He told her, truthfully. That statement caused April to jump up into his arms, giving him a big hug. Her action shocked both of them. Luckily, his quick reflexes kicked in, placing his left hand on her lower back for support.Â
His hand was dangerously close to her ass, and he liked it. Usually, Jackson is only in this position when he carries a woman to a bed, and they have minimal clothing on. If this were anyone else he would probably crack a joke about it - but itâs Kepner.
While they were finishing the project he realized how innocent she is. Yes, she said penis a lot when they first met. It took until that occasion for him to notice the slight red pigmentation scattered across her face when she says that word. Jackson likes talking to her, and he will gladly be more pg if it means he gets to spend time with her,
âWhatâs going on here?â Lexie asked startling the two.Â
Their denim covered legs stopped touching as Aprils black flats touched the floor again. Jacksons slid his hand across her soft, cotton covered back until he no longer felt her.Â
âWe, uh we were um-â April tried to form a sentence.Â
âWe were having a celebration hug.â Jackson answered, ending Aprils stutters. âAnd now, Iâm inviting you both to the Halloween party at Kappa Sigma this weekend.â Right away Lexieâs face grinned, while April looked uncomfortable.Â
âOh, Jackson I donât really think-â
âIt starts at 10:30, make sure you dress up. Anyways, I have to get going.â And with a wave, he was leaving the two girls.Â
He felt bad for cutting April off twice, but the first time put everyone (including her) out of their misery. And the second time he knew she was going to turn down his offer right away. He definitely didnât want that to happen. - âWell, that was interesting.âÂ
âHuh?â April asked. She heard her friend speak but her attention was focused on the man she was previously wrapped around and his perfect backside. âI said, âthat was interesting.ââ Lexie repeated. âAnd stop looking at him walk away he can probably feel your eyes.âÂ
April faced turned and made eye contact with her friend âsorry.â She sheepishly smiled.Â
âOo youâre smitten. So, what are you going to wear?â Â
âNothing.âÂ
âI like it, but a little bit too risky for out in public - especially at a frat house. Save that for his bedroom.âÂ
April rolled her eyes âI said that because Iâm not going.â
Lexieâs mouth opened and eyes widened in shock âYouâre kidding, right?âÂ
âNo, you know thatâs not my kind of scene.â April truthfully replied.Â
âWhich is exactly why you should go. Weâre in college for Christâs sake, this is the only time you get to experience one of these. And I, your best friend, will be there with you.âÂ
âI guess youâre right.âÂ
âOf course Iâm right. Now c'mon,â Lexie grabbed Aprils arm and started to guide her âgo to class. Afterwards, we are going costume shopping.â âI already have a costume.â April pointed out as she was dragged to class. âYouâre not going as a velveteen bunny. Playboy yes, velveteen is a big fat no!â

48 + Japril?
Thank you for the request! For the purposes of this AU, Jackson finds out that April is in the ER sooner than he did in the actual S14 episode. Also, I canât remember who made the gifset with Japril + Running Up that Hill lyrics, but this was definitely inspired by that!!! So shout out to whoever made it and Iâll try to see if I can find it and rb it again!!!
Song: Running Up that Hill (A Deal with God) by Kate Bush
âAnd if I could, Iâd make a deal with God, and Iâd get him to swap our placesâ
His hands shake as he reaches for her, recoiling as soon as he feels her freezing skin. Panic settles in the pit of his stomach, and he barely hears all of the frantic voices around him. Jackson doesnât want to let her go, but he also doesnât know how much longer he can take watching them try to save a corpse.
Thatâs all she is, isnât it?
Jackson had been in the pit when theyâd brought her in, and somebody had pulled him away from her unmoving body, begging him to not watch. But he couldnât look away. He couldnât not be there as she fought for her life.
Even if there isnât much left of it.
Being in this room isnât going to do anything to save April, but theyâd finally acquiesced when they realized that he refused to leave. He knows that the other doctors are arguing on whether or not to keep going, but he can barely focus on anything other than her pale, ashen face. April was strong. She was good. Something like this shouldnât be happening to her. Heâd do anything for it to be him on the table instead. For it to be him slowly slipping away from the earth. She could last without him, he was pretty sure, but he knows he could never last without April.
And just as he finds himself accepting that he will beg a God he doesnât believe in, the monitor shows that she has a heartbeat.
Sobs leave him indiscriminately as they continue to work, but all he can think is that sheâs alive.
Sheâs alive.
Send me a number 1-100 + a ship, and Iâll make a drabble corresponding to the number on my spotify wrapped

The song during japrils first kiss âAll or Nothingâ by Au Revoir Simone. Their passion was never less than epic.
Everywhere is somewhere baby
So can't you see we're in the middle
Somewhere
Nowhere just means knowing nothing
of where you've been or where you're going
feels farther
You're a sight to see this early morning
getting lost in my own
neighborhood
The same freedom you feel
Is what's been blowing in my sail
Since I arrived here
It's all, all, all, all
It's all, all, all, all
It's all, all, or nothing
It's all, all, all, all
It's all, all, all, all
It's all, all, or nothing
Slowly coming into view,
The images, are slowly
Slowly coming into view
The images, are slowly
Blending out for once
I know there's less to life
Once more it's looking for me
Saying yes instead of no
And wondering what to make
of my directions
Won't be long that's just to gaze
And days will fall to dreams
something familiar
It's all, all, all, all
It's all, all, all, all
It's all, all, or nothing
It's all, all, all, all
It's all, all, all, all
It's all, all, or nothing
