Cold Hands
Perry stood on the roof hours after he pronounced the sixth patient in his care tonight...dead. Tonight was just a bad night for everything. Though it seemed to be his personal hell at Sacred Heart tonight. His face and hands were numb from the cold, but he hardly noticed. He heard the door to the roof open and close softly as light footsteps approach him. Perry knew who it was without even glancing towards the young doctor.
"What is it Judy?" He asked gruffly. JD leaned beside him. Looking at his face carefully. He reached over and gently touched Perry's hand with is own.
"Your hands! They're freezing!" Suddenly Perry was facing JD; and both of his hands rubbing them between his own gently. "How long have you been out here?" JD asked gently blowing on his hands as he rubbed them. Normally Perry would make some snide remark and pull his hands away, but he was so beat down that JD's hands felt so nice against his own. Even his very presence was actually comforting. The fact that JD was touching his hands...just..warmed him somehow. Perry's face was soft as he watched JD curiously.
JD looked up at him with a small smile. The two men searched each other as something changed that very instant. Without thinking; Perry leaned forward and covered JD's mouth with his own; gently. JD's eyes widened, still holding Perry's hands in his hands. JD didn't respond, but he didn't pull away either; he was far too shocked! Perry pulled away giving a little smirk; and pulled his hands away gently.
"I see you need some time to think about it." Perry said as he went back inside; leaving JD alone in his thoughts.

A few days later, it was actually raining outside and it was cold. JD was mad because he forgot his gloves so by the time he got to work his hands were freezing (he doesn't like shoving his hands in his pockets). He walked inside rubbing his hands together as he pulled down his wet hooded jacket. Suddenly, warm hands grasped around his own; and JD found himself looking up at Perry. Perry smirked and lightly blew against his hands in the same way JD had those few nights before. JD blushed softly as he looked up at the older doctor.
"You forget your gloves there Carol?" Perry asked with an amused smile, his features as soft as they had been that night when he kissed JD. JD swallowed hard. Yes, he had thought long and hard about them...about the kiss. JD smiled softly and leaned up and returned the gentle kiss Perry had given him those few days ago. A silent answer to the question Perry didn't exactly ask. Perry returned the gentle kiss for a few moments before he pulled away.
"Right...let's get going Newbie. We have a lot of work to do." Perry said before he smirked and started walking away. JD sighed dreamily as he took a chart from a surprised looking Carla.
"What?" JD asked with a smile. Carla just smiled.
"Oh nothing...just wondering what took you two so long." JD blushed and shrugged a bit and jumped when he heard a sharp whistle.
"Newbie, come!" There were giggles and snickers but JD ignored them as he promptly followed after Perry's call.
