The Book of Love
Is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts
And facts and
Figures and
Instructions for dancing
J.D. had a predicament. Sacred Heart was hosting a dance in a few weeks as a charity function and every doctor was expected to attend and dance at once. That's where the problem came in: J.D. didn't know how to dance. So he had done the only thing he could do and signed up for lessons.
He had arrived just slightly early to his lesson and walked into the room, not really paying much attention to the other student there. That is until he looked up after hearing a sharp intake of breath. To J.D.'s utter embarrassment the other student there was none other Perry Cox.
Cox was staring at him, but J.D. couldn't tell if he was angry or not. Eventually the other doctor began walking towards him. J.D. backed up to the wall very quickly and cowered slightly when Cox reached him and pointed his finger in J.D.'s face.
"You tell anyone that you saw me here," Cox said, "And you are dead. Do you understand, Jillian?"
J.D. nodded very quickly. He averted his eyes and muttered something. Cox narrowed his eyes.
"What was that, newbie?"
"I didn't think you would need to learn how to dance," J.D. stammered out.
Cox backed up slightly and smirked. "Everyone needs to brush up every now and then."
The Book of Love
Has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it's just transcendental
Some of it's just really dumb
Cox wasn't quite sure why he was at the bar with newbie and his friends. He just knew that his first instinct when J.D. had asked wasn't to immediately say no. Intrigued by this, he had decided to come, and surprisingly he wasn't having a horrible time. J.D. was getting pretty wasted and was actually kind of endearing while drunk. Until he got up and sang the most horrible rendition of Miley Cyrus' "See You Again" that Cox had ever heard. Cox just about fell out of his chair when afterwards J.D. dedicated his performance to him.
The drunk newbie came up to him after getting off the stage and leaned heavily against his side. Cox tried to ignore him, but J.D. made it hard to do when he nuzzled his face into Cox's shoulder.
"What did you think?" J.D. slurred into Cox's arm.
Cox just shrugged, dislodging J.D. "It wasn't terribly horrible, newbie. Wasn't terribly horrible."
J.D. just smiled at him.
The Book of Love
Is long and boring
And written very long ago
It's full of flowers and heart shaped boxes
And things we're all to young to know
But I… I love it when
You give me things
And you… you ought to give me
Wedding rings
J.D. and Cox were walking hand in hand, late one night in the middle of summer. Over the past few months the two had somehow gone from almost complete enemies to dating. This particular night Cox was a little sidetracked, not entirely paying attention to what J.D. was talking about. At first J.D. didn't seem to really notice, but as their romantic walk went on and Cox didn't say much J.D. started to notice and began to get worried.
He stopped walking and pulled on Cox's hand to get him to stop too. Cox furrowed his eyebrows at J.D.
"What's wrong?" Cox asked.
"I think I should be asking you that," J.D. retorted. "You've been pretty distant tonight."
Cox nodded and looked at the ground, suddenly self conscious. "I wanna ask you something," he said. "And I know that we've only been dating for a few weeks and that this is sudden, and way out of the norm for me-"
"You're rambling, Perry. Just ask."
Cox nodded again. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the small velvet box he's been carrying around. J.D.'s eyes widened slightly as Cox knelt down in front of him and opened the box, revealing a diamond ring.
"Will you marry me, J.D.?" he asked.
You ought to give me
Wedding rings
J.D. nodded and whispered, "Yes."
