Summary: Jackson and y/n have been seeking around since the first started dating. They weren't ashamed and had nothing to hide, but he didn't want his mother scaring her off and Jackson knew he would be dead where he stands if Mark finds out. In the end, sneaking around is just so much fun, right?

At first Jackson wants to keep you a secret from his mom. His mother can be overbearing and he was afraid she'd scare you off or hate you.
You also just didn't want to be the reason Jackson and his mother have a falling out, it wouldn't be fair to Jackson and you knew it would hurt him deeply. So you agreed.
“yeah, he's got beautiful blue-green eyes and he's a plastic surgeon” you smirked, discribing him then cup his jaw and kissed him to shut him up.
Sneaking around the hospital and the people in your lives just gives the relationship a lot of thrill. In the early stage of your relationship it felt sexy to sneak into on-call rooms and it was just fun.
Sometimes the dating in secret gets Jackson jealous, especially if someone you work with has a crush on you “I still don't buy it... unless you're trying to impress someone”
He can never stay mad at you, He'll smile and play along with your joke. “Does he have a name, sweetheart?”
“Yeah, he shares the same last name as those stupid awards doctors are obsessed with getting” you joked. You never understood doctors wanting a harper Avery award, which happened to be an award named after Jackson's grandfather. You met him once and he was the only one in his family who knew about you two, he liked you at least.
Jackson pretended to look offended at that, though he couldn't actually hold back his laughter when you called the Harper Avery Award stupid. He knew you didn't really understand the big deal about the award. Despite your joking, it was very clear how fond of you his grandfather was.
“You take that back. Those awards are what us doctors live for”
“Nuh-uh, I don't need the award. I got you, those stupid awards don't have your eyes and it would be hard to cuddle that thing”
Jackson couldn't help but smile over how adorable you were when you were being a total stubborn ass. “They also don't kiss as good as I do, I'm assuming” He said smirking.
“Can't fuck me as good as you do either” you smirked.
Your brother Mark doesn't know about you two either, Mark was over protective and you both knew Jackson would be dead the moment Mark found out.
It was months that went on and Mark still didn't figure it out. He almost did, once. You and Jackson snuck off to have sex in one of the on-call rooms, after words Jackson was paged to be on Mark's service. Jackson and you got dressed in a hurry and during that, Jackson took your lab coat by accident. Thank God Mark didn't notice.
After a while, sneaking around would get to the both of you and there were too many close calls. Jackson eventually just told Mark without talking to you. “I love her, Mark... Everything about her, even the things I don't like. I'm sorry I lied to you about it”
He also told his mother which resulted in an awkward dinner and Jackson coming to your aid a few times.
When you told your friends, they weren't suprised. Meredith and Alex saw the signs. “me and Jackson are dating... We have been for awhile”
“yeah” Alex nodded
“what do you mean, yeah?”
Alex knew you too well, he just rolled his eyes and smirked. “it's obvious, Avery isn't good at hiding his love sick puppy look”
Jackson's mother doesn't completely like you, but she doesn't hate you.
Once you become public everything just feels better. You didn't want the thrill of sneaking around anymore, just holding his hand in the hospital where anyone could see just felt nicer.
