Hey guys I'm back! This is a prompt in which Jackson catches himself checking out April for the first time set sometime in season 8. Please review and let me know how I'm doing with these! Also keep sending in prompts!

Jackson stepped through the front door of Meredith's frat house and immediately smelled something delicious. He hung his coat up and took off his shoes, sighing in relief. He had just worked a shift that lasted most of the night and continued into the day when Sloan invited him on a rare facial reconstruction. It was now about 4 pm and he was beat.

From the hallway, he could hear music playing and movement coming from the kitchen. When he initially walked into the kitchen however, he was confused to see no one. He took a few steps and glanced behind the island and found April.

She was on her hands and knees scrubbing out the oven. Of course she was cleaning, he thought to himself. This was the kind of girl April Kepner was. Born and raised a farm girl, she was a naturally early riser, a very big morning person, and he wouldn't call her a neat freak but she was not messy by any means. She was also a great cook and baker. All of these things combine with her natural peppy personality made her who she was. Years ago, Jackson never would have pictured himself to be friends with a girl like her. However, April would often worm her way into people's hearts. Once someone really got to know April, they would see that she was just a genuinely good person.

April was still scrubbing and hadn't noticed Jackson walk in. The music was loud and she hummed along.

"Is this your idea of relaxation?" Jackson blurted out standing behind her.

April jumped at the sound of his voice. Until now, she had been alone in the house for hours. She let out a little yelp in surprise and turned around to find Jackson laughing lightly.

"Jackson! You scared me!" she exclaimed holding her hand over her heart.

"You scare so easily. I love it." Jackson laughed. "What are you doing scrubbing the oven like this?"

"Well, Meredith and Derek are just so busy lately with Zola and everything. It's my day off and I just thought I'd help them out you know? I mean, anything I can do for them really. I'll always be grateful to Mer for inviting us to live here. I've been cleaning all day. I even made pie!" April rambled.

Jackson now noticed the apple pie sitting on the counter which must have been the source of the delicious smell that consumed the house. He was not surprised but still impressed by April's kindness. She was so considerate of people sometimes.

"That's actually really nice. I know what you mean too. Mer barely knew us when she invited us to live here." Jackson said thinking back to the memory.

"Yea well I'm almost done actually then I was gonna start on dinner. Do you know when any of the others are going to be back?" she asked getting back to scrubbing.

"Not really. It was kind of a madhouse today. I think Lexie is getting off soon but I have a feeling she'll be going to Sloan's for the night. As for the rest of them, I figure they'll probably all be out late." Jackson replied trying not to sound too disappointed in the fact that Lexie would not be coming back.

"Oh well. I'll make dinner anyway. You and I can enjoy it and the rest can just have leftovers." She shrugged.

"Sounds good to me. You know I'd help you right now, but I'm dead on my feet. Is it okay if I just grab a beer and watch you make dinner?" Jackson asked with a smirk.

"That's fine Jackson. Although, I've never seen you cook anything before so this is probably just an excuse so you don't embarrass yourself." April joked.

"I can cook but I'm a busy man. Plus Seattle has some pretty bomb take out options so it's by choice Kepner." He defended himself as he grabbed a beer.

"Sure whatever you…. Oh I LOVE this song!" April jumped hearing the song and turned up her IPod dock. She got back to scrubbing the oven while she sang along with some upbeat country song.

Jackson laughed at his friend's excitement over the song. He watched her as she swayed slightly to the beat. It was just then that he noticed her outfit. She was wearing a pair tight jeans, a loose fitting white V-neck shirt and a red bandana that was tied at the top. He red locks were curled and fell down her shoulders as she hunched over. Jackson's eyes trailed back to what was right in front of him, her butt.

Those jeans fit perfectly and exposed what her scrub pants usually did not. Damn, he thought to himself, since when did April Kepner have an ass? A really nice one at that. The way she had her back arched and her backside elevated would be a sight any man would want to see.

How had he never noticed this about her before? His thoughts quickly snapped back to the reality of who he was thinking about. This was the virgin April Kepner. He just never looked at her that way. Maybe other men did sometimes, but the thought never crossed his mind. That was until right now.

It wasn't that he never found her attractive. It was more like he never found her unattractive. She had a nice face, pretty hair and a decent body. However, she was so far from his type that there was some sort of barrier. That was probably why they were able to become such good friends, even best friends. He never had a girl best friend before and that was probably because he usually developed feelings for them right away.

Jackson's eyes traveled up along April's figure. He had to admit, her butt wasn't the only nice feature about her body. She was slim and petite. He didn't mean that he only found girls attractive if they were super thin or anything, he wasn't that kind of guy. He simply noticed that she was a tiny person. He could probably pick her up with no difficulty. Her white shirt hung off her body in a way that she was almost swimming in it.

Then he noticed her chest. The white V-neck exposed something Jackson almost never got to see, April's cleavage. She had nice boobs too! They weren't huge or anything, but he was a budding plastic surgeon and he could spot when someone had a perfect pair of breasts. They seemed to be a decent size and Jackson thought….

"Jackson, are you okay?" April asked confused.

"Huh? …. What?" Jackson stammered snapping out of his trance.

"Are you okay? You're just standing there. I thought you said you were tired? Why don't you go sit down?" April offered.

"Yea right…. Sorry. I guess I'm really just dead on my feet." Jackson said trying to save himself. He was really grateful his best friend didn't seem to notice he had been checking her out this whole time. He sat down at the island and took a long swig of his beer.

"I know how you feel. Yesterday I had these two patients that kept me busy all day. This one guy, 47 year old male needed a liver transplant. We were able to find him a donor but at the last minute….." April began to ramble on about her patients from the day before.

As Jackson listened to his friend talk, his mind trailed off to what had just happened. Did he really just check out April Kepner? Part of him felt like a sleaze ball. Could he really not keep his mind out of the gutter? He didn't want to be that guy. She wasn't the type of girl you thought of that way.

Although, the more he thought about it, he wasn't really being fair to her. Sure April was a virgin. But that didn't make her not hot. Sure she wouldn't like it if a man tried to feel her up and hit on her like a creep, but he didn't think she would mind someone acknowledging a simple fact. She was attractive and it was okay to admit it. She was no different than all the other women he knew that he found attractive. Meredith, Cristina, Lexie and Teddy were all on that list. If acknowledging that about them didn't make him feel weird, then April should be the same. They could still be best friends, no changes.

April continued to ramble as she pulled pots and pans out of the cupboards to start dinner. As she spoke, Jackson couldn't keep his eyes off her lips.

Oh God he was doing it again. He needed to stop this right now.

"That sounds like a rough day. Mine was something like that. That's why I'm going to go take a shower right now." Jackson said finding an excuse to leave the room.

"Okay Jackson. I'll have dinner ready when you're done and then we can eat together okay?" she asked cheerfully.

"That sounds great." Jackson said as he retreated from the kitchen. Hopefully a good hot shower would help him clear his mind and make whatever was happening to him go away.

xxxxxxxxxx

Jackson returned from his shower feeling much better. He thought about it and was confident he wouldn't have any more problems checking out his best friend. Things were totally normal.

That was until he found April cooking in the kitchen wearing far fewer clothes than before. Her jeans had been replaced with black shorts that showed off her slender creamy white legs. Her loose V-neck had also been replaced by just a tight white tank top. Incredibly, this new tank top showed even more cleavage than the V-neck. And there she was, just stirring the sauce in the pan like everything was normal. What was she trying to do to him?!

"Hey Jackson. How was your shower? You feeling any better?" she asked.

"Yea, yea all better. Did you change your outfit?" Jackson questioned his friend.

"Yea. I've been doing all this work and I just needed to cool off. It's getting so hot in here!" she exclaimed.

"Yea it sure is."
