Disclaimer: Nothing's mine, i make no money with this! I just borrow the characters and make them have their wicked way with each other.
Warnings: N/C, H/C, OOC, Romance, maybe some Angst, FLUFF depends on how you define it and kinky man on man action, for sure, the rest I don't know yet.
A/N: Hey guys, I'm a great Scrubs fan and this is my first attempt at writing a Scrubs fanfic. Just to warn you, I am not a native speaker so my English will definitely have some flaws, you will soon realise that anyway though. Please feel free to give constructive criticism but no flames please. Another warning will be that the characters may be OOC, for I just know the German version of Scrubs and therefore don't know the typical way the characters talk in the original version. Hope you enjoy the story anyway. Please read and review!

My Complicated RomanceThere are days when you wake up and you already know things will be bad and there are other days when you know everything will work out the way you want it to.
But then there is the third kind of days when something really, really bad happens and you don't know what hits you, not until it's too late.
I never thought this third kind would hit me as hard as it did. That's the reason why I'm standing in front of his door now, hurting, bleeding and not really sure what I'm doing here anyway.
But to tell you the story from the start we have to go back to this morning.
It was April Fools' Day and J.D was ridiculously happy, as always, when he walked through the entrance of Sacred Heart.
Turk had scared him out of bed this morning, by snuggling up to him and mumbling
"Oh baby, I know I was totally drunk when I came home yesterday, but I don't remember you ever being this hot when we made love!"
After that J.D had jumped out of bed with a screech and had fallen onto his ass, looking up at his best friend, who was laughing so hard he almost fell to the floor too.
"Turk! What the hell?"
Turk had had to breathe deeply a few times before he was able to answer.
"I'm sorry V-Bear, but if you had seen your face, it was ...oh my god...April Fool!"
J.D had looked quite dumb for a second before he too, had started laughing.
JD was intent on repaying his best friend for this joke and exactly for that reason he was almost skipping to work.
Plans about his "revenge" were already forming in his head the whole morning.
I could tell Carla, Turk seriously considers making Rowdy best man, or I could buy a box of his favourite cookies, eat them all by myself and give him the empty box, or I could..."
A sharp whistle rang through the hall.
"Hey Gloria, stop worrying if your wedding dress will still fit, when your boyfriend finally asks for your hand and get your girly ass over here!"
Oh great, he's in a bad mood already, so I guess there's no chance for me to ask him for a little advice about my "revenge plans".
"Yes, Dr. Cox?" JD asked, still a bit absentmindedly.
"Newbie, I know what day it is, but if you ever plan on listening to anything I say to you, it would be wise to heed my warning today. If I hear one word about jokes, April Fools' day or anything like it, I'll make you regret you ever sat a foot into med school, hell I'll make you regret you ever considered being a doctor, are we clear?"
Oh what a way to start a nice day of work.
"Yes, sir. But there was just one thing I wanted to ask you..."
Dr. Cox arched an eyebrow at him.
"And that would be what exactly Mildred?
"Well, you see, Turk pulled a prank on me this morning and I'm still planning some revenge and you seem to be the best person to ask for advice, when you plan to really annoy someone so I thought..."
Dr. Cox rolled his eyes and counted to ten, inwardly.
"I warned you newbie and I wasn't joking! I will hear nothing, absolutely nothing, nada, niente about this whole crap, do you understand. Now get out of my sight and make sure you stay there for the rest of the day!"
And from there on his day went in a mix of tending to patients, thinking of ways he could get his revenge on Turk and avoiding Janitor and Dr. Cox.
One hour before the end of his shift, JD sat in the cafeteria sipping his coffee.
Damn it, I still haven't got a clue what joke I could pull on Turk.
That was when it all started.
He heard the sound of heels approaching, but he thought it was Elliot, so he didn't turn around.
Not until he heard that oh so familiar voice of Jordan.
"Hey DJ, I've got a present for you!"
He turned around to look at the ex-wife of his mentor, who stood behind him with a man he didn't know, grinning nastily.
What now?
He heaved a sigh and turned around to face her completely.
"What is it, Jordan?"
Curious looks were already aimed at them when Jordan chuckled and waved her companion forward.
"See, DJ this is Steve, he's a friend of my sister and he'd like to `get to know you` if you know what I mean."
JD was torn between being irritated about having to talk to her and being confused about what she meant.
"I don't know what you mean, Jordan. Does he need medical attention?"
He looked up at Steve, who was still standing next to Jordan and smiling slightly.
When their eyes met Steve winked at him and JD looked away, blushing.
What the hell, she just has to bring a guy here who has no problem with shamelessly flirting around. Stop blushing JD, no one here needs to know that he's exactly the type of men you're into. No one here needs to know you're into men at all!
Jordan's voice interrupted his thoughts abruptly.
"Oh come on DJ, don't play dumb now. I know you've got a crush on Perry since you started here and if I didn't know you were gay by that, I would have known it anyway after I slept with you! No straight guy would be so god damn clumsy like you were!"
JD blushed harder, this time in embarrassment. The whole cafeteria seemed to be listening by now.
"Jordan I don't know what you want from me, but please get to the point! And by the way I am straight."
Jordan laughed harshly and drew Steve forward by his sleeve.
"Yeah sure you are DJ. So here's the point: Steve here, is gay, he's single and he likes the girly type, so I thought I would be nice and play a bit of matchmaker between you two. Aren't I always the generous one? Steve told me he's seen you hang out in the gay bar he frequents and he wanted to hit on you but you were gone before he could, so I decided to help him out and brought him here."
Now everyone was openly staring at them and whispering.
JD could feel the blood rushing to his face when he stood and banged his fist onto the table.
"I don't know what the hell you think you're doing but I have to decline your oh so generous offer. Goodbye Jordan, goodbye Steve." With that he stormed out of the cafeteria.
Jordan was laughing so hard, tears were streaming down her face and she had to hold her stomach, when Perry marched over to her.
"Jordaroo, it's always such a pleasure to see you around, but what pray tell did you do to newbie that got his panties in a twist like that?"
Jordan wiped a tear from her eye and looked at her ex-husband.
"Oh why Perry, I didn't know you could care. If you have to know I was indeed trying to be nice by introducing Steve to DJ, but it seems like I unintentionally outed him. Ooops, my bad! Steve, would you please go after him and tell him I'm sorry I made him cry?"
Steve seemed to be a bit shocked by what had happened but he left anyway. He barely knew Jordan and Perry, but he knew it would get ugly when the two of them were like this. He also felt bad for this DJ guy. It was true he had seen him in a bar, but not a gay bar like Jordan had said, it had been in the bar near the hospital where he went with Danny and Jordan. When he had seen the young man he had instantly taken a liking to him and had asked Danny if she knew who he was. That was when Jordan had told him she could introduce them and that she thought his chances were good, because she knew the young doctor was gay and into the manly type. He had been happy to hear that and that had been the reason he had come here today.
Now it seemed like he got the young man into trouble without realising it.
Steve found JD outside the hospital, sitting on the scooter he had watched him drive away from the bar with.
"Hey, DJ isn't it?"
JD looked up at the handsome man standing next to him.
"Well, actually it's JD. What do you want Steve?" he asked in a depressed tone.
"Look JD, I'm sorry for what happened in there. I didn't know Jordan would do that. I mean it is true that I saw you in the bar and I really wanted to get to know you but I thought she would just introduce us and that would be it. Is it true? Did she just out you or was that just to tease you? Are you even gay?"
JD smiled weakly.
"I am. But until today nobody here knew. Hell not even my best friend knows and I've been living with him for years now!"
Steve put a hand on JD's shoulder and squeezed lightly.
"I'm really sorry, this is all my fault. If I can do anything to make you feel even the slightest bit better, please tell me."
JD heaved a heavy sigh and stood, locking his gaze with Steve's.
"What's done is done, so the only thing that comes to mind now is, you could come and have a drink with me. You are indeed my type, so why not get something positive out of this whole disaster and get to know each other?"
Steve smiled brightly at him and grabbed his arm.
"That sounds great! I know exactly the right place for that. Come on, I'll cheer you up in no time."
With that the two of them went off to find the bar Steve was talking about, none of them noticing that a curious pair of eyes had followed them, as they left the parking lot.
So newbie is gay? What a surprise...
JD really got to like Steve during their conversation in the bar .
Steve was funny and handsome, he was intelligent and he was curious about JD's life and his work and mostly everything JD wanted to talk about. But JD realised something was off, when Steve grabbed his knee and squeezed, before his hand inched upwards towards JD's groin.
JD grabbed Steve's hand and drew it away from his body.
"Steve, I think I like you but this is a bit too fast for me, alright?"
Steve frowned at him but nodded, then there was an uncomfortable silence between them that made JD squirm.
"I think I'll call it a night, Steve. I have an early shift tomorrow. Thank you for the great evening. I have your number now, I'll call you tomorrow, ok?"
JD went to get up but Steve grabbed his arm.
"At least let me give you a ride home, ok? I'm sorry I was so pushy and I don't want the last thought you have about this evening to be a bad one."
Steve smiled warmly at him and JD nodded, unintentionally.
"Ok, let's get going."
That was the moment life drew back it's fist, preparing to hit him.
They walked back to Steve's car and JD got into the passenger's seat. Steve got in, started the engine and drove off.
At first JD only sank back into his seat until he realised, it was strange that Steve never asked him where he should drive to.
When JD sat up to look at Steve, the man was only smiling and humming along with the music.
"Uhm Steve, how do you know the way to my apartment?"
When Steve turned his face towards him, he was smiling eerily and answered in a disturbing tone.
"I don't."
The moment JD heard the sound of the car doors being locked all at once, was the moment life decided to punch him in the face.
Tbc….
Sorry, I know it's short and I know it's crappy but I did my best. I have the ideas in my head, but it seems my fingers just don't want to cooperate and type it like I imagine it ! I'll try to improve the way the plot is written, I promise. And I'll also try to make the characters a bit more realistic. Sorry again, but please tell me what you think so far.
Next Chapter will be up soon, maybe even today.
As P.S. I have to say it's a shame there are so few Scrubs fanfics out there! Everyone who reads this fandom should at least try to write down one of their plotbunnies!
Anyways, see you next chapter!
*hugs* MD
