Hello there :D

First scrubs fanfic, so I soooo apologise if I do a terrible job, which COULD and probably WILL happen...well, I decided to write some drabbles based on one word prompts

Pairings are pretty standard Jdox, Turla, Kelliot (Dorian/Cox is the favourite and will probably be my focus here :D I can't help myself, they are adorable together)

D/C - I don't own anything it all belongs to bill Lawrence, the genius, but if I did have anything to do with Scrubs, it would be a little different ;)…

Here goes…

Word count - 2317 :S =) (A little longer than expected :S)

Prompt word 117. Toxic

"Oh the taste of a poison paradiiiiiise….I'm addicted to you….."

Doctor John 'JD' Dorian wandered purposefully through the halls of sacred heart, singing quietly under his breath, happy to be at work after his first full night sleep in weeks, he spotted the room he was heading towards and skipped inside, still humming the words to 'toxic' under his breath.

"Oh dear god, Newbiroo, are you skipping? And are you singing?! Oh no no no Clarissa, we do not need that interminable noise polluting crap from that boy band you love so-ho much because one of them has the most amazing hair and one day you're going to be Mrs boy band and you'll live on a rainbow with a pony that you can prance around on all day and…Newbie!" He gave a piercing whistle and clicked his fingers around in front of JD's daydreaming face.

"…But who would clean up the mess?…"

"ooo kay there Rosie sunshine I'm just gonna scoot on out and let you annoy the hell outta someone else, and maybe, while you're not too busy, do some goddamn work instead of whatever it is you do in that gigantic disproportioned head of yours."

Doctor Cox shoved a chart into JD's hands before thrusting his own hands into his lab coat pockets and marching from the room, almost missing a mumble of 'it wasn't a boy band, it was Britney Spears'.

JD read over the chart and checked his comatose patient, looking at his vitals and scribbling on the clipboard before replacing it and heading up to his last patient, Mrs Soxton, before lunch.

Doctor Cox strolled down to the canteen. Today had been ok. He had ranted at newbie, made an intern cry, had a coffee, insulted Bobbo, got rid of his demon of an ex-ex wife and all before lunch. He should have been in a happy mood as he grabbed his lunch and a table on his own, but he just could not get that damn song out of his head. So he ate, thinking of ways to destroy newbie, until the chair opposite his was pulled out and 'newbie' sidled in, still humming.

"I was saving that for someone"

"No you weren't"

"No I wasn't, I just don't want you to sit there, is that too hard for your microscopic brain to understand?"

"Well, I'm sitting here anyway, Perry"

JD inwardly grinned as he used his mentor's first name and took a sip of his cappuccino, not taking his eyes from the man opposite, who was rapidly growing angrier. Sometimes it was just fun to annoy him lately. He wasn't as afraid of him as he used to be. Of course, the fear was still there, but now he knew that the worst thing he could do to hurt him he wouldn't do because he didn't know what it was. They ate in silence, which, on Perry's part, wasn't unwelcome. It made him furious that he couldn't drive fear into the younger man like he used to be able to, which made him think about it more and more, picking out insults that, thanks to close observation, he was sure would make him either fear the safety of his own life, or make his bottom lip wobble, neither had been happening, no matter what he tried. He finished his lunch and shot a glance at JD, who was currently nibbling a candy bracelet opposite him, his tray empty.

"You don't have to sit here to eat that"

"I know"

"So why are you?"

He gave a smile from behind his bracelet, blushed slightly and left the table, taking his tray and humming 'toxic'.

Perry growled to himself as it began playing in his head again, whilst he grabbed his rubbish and made his way over to the bin.

"I saw that"

Carla was stood by the bin, arms folded with a small smile playing on her lips.

"What?"

"You and Bambi"

His face went blank.

"What? The deer?"

She rolled her eyes dramatically.

"I'll let you figure it out, Per"

She knew this would drive him crazy, he hated not knowing things other people did, especially things about himself that she could pick out. She kept her arms crossed and strolled back to work, thinking over what she had seen.

When JD had entered the canteen, the second thing he had done after getting his food was look for someone, his face had lit up when he had caught sight of Perry, and he had started humming as he made his way to his mentor and sat down. Earning a glare and, from where Carla was sitting, a bit of a telling off; but nothing compared to what he usually got, and she saw him give Perry a look that she could see clearly from across the room, it was definitely one of JD's most flirtatious looks - he had given it to Elliot a million times. At that point, she had finished eating, but decided to stay and watch, tuning out her husband and Elliot, who were bickering over something and not paying attention to Carla. She noticed that the couple she was focused on kept glancing at each other, neither noticing the other doing so, and every time JD did, he would smile and blush slightly. When he had finished eating, he pulled out a candy bracelet and started to nibble and suck it, never taking his eyes from Perry, as if he was waiting for him to look at him.

"You comin' baby?"

"Yeah, I need to talk to Doctor Cox first, but I'll see you later?"

Turk planted a kiss on her head and left, Elliot following shortly after as Carla noticed JD leaving the table, the older doctor getting up and heading to the bin. She had it figured out completely (thanks to her people reading skills). Bambi was in love, and so was the object of his affection, he just didn't know it yet. Enter Carla.

…………

JD slouched against the nurse's station, thinking about things and singing to himself when Carla began to bombard him with slightly awkward questions (in hushed tones, of course).

"So, JD, how long have you liked Perry?"

His face registered shock and he told her to keep it down, Laverne could be anywhere.

"How do you….I mean, how long?"

She smiled widely

"So I WAS right, Bambi's got a little crush on Doctor Cox! I saw you at lunch and knew straight away. He likes you too, you know."

He was gob smacked. No one had guessed who it was - Turk and Elliot had guessed he liked someone but Carla was the first to put two and two together and come up with exactly the right answer.

"No he doesn't. He's too…masculine, there's absolutely no way he could ever…I mean…I'm not even sure…."

He let out a sad sigh and concentrated on his twiddling fingers, now resting on the desk.

"Is it all men, or…"

"Just him. I don't know why, I've never felt like this before"

"Aww. You finally met the man of your dreams, Delia?"

He flushed bright red, one of his hands drifting to his head to twiddle with his hair, the other fiddling with the bottom of his scrubs top.

"How long have you been there?"

"Just came by to grab Mr Norton's chart there, Skippy"

He let out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding and spun around, his hands dropping back to his sides.

……………………….

Perry thought over what he had heard at the nurse's station. His newbie had finally owned up to being a little more like a girl than he was already without actually having breasts. And apparently he liked a masculine man who didn't like him. This new information unnerved him, and bothered him a little. Until he recalled what Carla had said to him at lunch. His pace slowed dramatically and he had a sudden urge to lie down as butterflies began an alarmingly fast waltz in his stomach. Him? Newbie liked him??? Why? He had always tried to distance himself from the kid as much as possible, going out of his way to insult and humiliate him in an attempt to lock him out. So why now? Suddenly it all clicked together, like a jigsaw puzzle that had been left unfinished. The way he would follow him around like a puppy, stare at him when he thought no-one noticed, the funny way he reacted to him sometimes - this, he concluded was why he couldn't scare him properly any more. Well - now he could. he grinned devilishly to himself as he turned on his heel, his patient could wait a while (he knew the guy, complete hypochondriac). He asked Carla where Newbie had got to, and she pointed him to the supply closet opposite. He opened the door, closed and locked it in one fluid movement, before turning to the doe eyed doctor hiding against the back wall.

JD's eyes were red and puffy, his hands scrubbing at them ferociously before his arms were grabbed and pinned down to his sides.

"What are you doing?"

The young doctor's face was fearful, yet hopeful and questioning all at the same time - mainly fearful Perry thought, a little satisfied. His expression was absolutely priceless and a little cute. No. no. he may look and act like a girl but he is a man. Good god what's wrong with me?

"Doctor Cox? You're hurting my arms"

He tried to give his best glare, but he couldn't do what he had came there to do, confront Newbie and tell him off. Why? A wave of urgency hit him and he had a horrible desperation to kiss the face off the young man, who looked like he was on the verge of tears, swallowing loudly in anticipation of the angry 'why are you such a pathetic girl?' rant. It never came. He closed the gap between them, cutting off JD's air supply as he crushed their mouths together.

A muffled 'oomph' escaped from JD's now busy mouth as the wind was knocked out of him completely unexpectedly by the other man, whose grip on his arms seemed to be tightening as he pressed him up against the wall using his entire body, causing JD to break from the kiss, letting out a little moan and attempting to set his hands free. Perry stumbled back a little had he been wrong? Well - it didn't matter, aside from what he had just done, but no-one would believe his little protégé, after all, he was the most masculine doctor in this hellhole, he would never do something like this- or so he thought, and if it was a surprise to him it most certainly would be to everyone else, except probably Carla…

His inward rant screeched to a halt as JD yanked his hands free and brought them to grasp Perry's shoulders, pulling him back into a deeper, slower kiss. Perry's doubts were shattered into nothing as he regained control, slamming JD's back up against the back wall again, ignoring a pained grumble vibrating through his mouth from the other man. When they broke apart a good ten minutes later, their lips bruised and each looking very dishevelled (in a good way), JD had no idea what to say to his mentor, so they stood there for a minute or so, straightening up and sorting themselves out in silence. Until JD came out with what was, in Perry's opinion, one of the most girlish, crummiest things he could have said.

"I know what Britney was singing about in that song now"

He had to resist the urge to laugh at newbie's sincere little face. But he kept his face straight, as now he had it playing in his head again - which annoyed him to no end. He must have sensed that he'd said the complete wrong thing as he quickly tried to rectify it.

"I didn't mean that. Oh god that was stupid. I'm gonna go now"

His face had gone the deepest shade of red Perry had ever seen it, and he spun and tried to make a getaway before Perry grabbed his arm, turning him back to face him and capturing his mouth again.

Perry let go of his arm almost immediately and pulled away.

"It could have been worse, Lillian."

A ghost of a smile played on his lips for less than a second before he whirled out of the closet and back to work, humming 'toxic' as newbie had been all day. JD followed shortly after, a grin set on his face as he set off into his new favourite song, practically skipping to his next patient's room.

Laverne was sitting behind the desk, watching with clear, obvious interest as the unusually happier looking Doctor Percival Cox exited the cupboard, followed shortly after by a grinning JD.

"mmmm. Someone's gettin some"

She commented to Carla, who was also watching and smiling to herself.
