Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Scrubs character but I do own J.D (Joshua Daniels in this story.)
J.D was walking down the hallway of his work place when two strong hands grabbed and pulled him into a supply closet. He was not scared because he knew who it was. It was the same person that he had been dating secretly for past two weeks.
"Perry, you don't have to pull me so hard. You know that I bruise easily"
"What did I tell you about calling me Perry?"
"Not to call you by your first name whenever you are wearing your lab coat."
"Good Newbie" Perry smiled as he pulled J.D closer to kiss him. This had become their daily routine every since they had gotten together one night after seeing each other at a bar. J.D and Perry had decided to keep it to themselves for a while until they had both gained enough courage to tell the rest of the group, well that is what Perry wanted. J.D knew he would be fine if everyone knew but he had promised Perry that he would do it, and he would not break his promise.
"You know we wouldn't have to hide in this closet if we were just honest about everything" J.D replied as he pulled away.
"I thought we discussed this Raven"
"We did" J.D sighed. "And you also said that you wanted me in your life and you didn't care about anyone knowing."
"I don't…I just don't want anyone to treat us…differently. Both our careers and reputations are on the line here. I don't want to mess anything up"
"And you won't" J.D smiled. "I am not ashamed of whom I am and you shouldn't be either."
"I'm know and I'm not" Perry replied. "I just need more time"
"Okay fine" J.D sighed. "I will keep my promise but you have to promise take me out for Valentine's Day"
"Oh come on. Valentine's day is an over-rated and over-priced holiday that lures pretty girls, such as yourself, into luring men to show that they actually care enough about you to go out and by you something nice, showing that they love for only one day out of the year."
"But it is so romantic"
"No it is a pain in my ass"
"Please" J.D pouts as he moves closer to Perry's face so that their lips are touching. "For me"
"Fine" Perry smiled as leaned forward and kissed J.D again before walking out of the supply closet. J.D smiled as he too walked out of the closet and went back to work.
Later on that day, J.D walked to the nurse's station and saw Carla and Turk talking. Standing beside them was man that J.D had never met before. He was about 5'11 and had red hair and blue eyes. Overall, he looked rather handsome and J.D found himself blushing just by looking at him.
"Yo J.D" Turk yelled at him and he slowly made his way over.
"What's up Brown Bear?"
"You remember a while back when you came out and told everyone your secret"
"Um yeah" J.D smiled.
"Well that week I worked as a paramedic on night shift for extra money and I met someone who would be perfect for you."
"You did" J.D gulped.
"Yeah I did" Turk shouted. "Anyways, I would like to introduce you to Joshua Daniels" At the sound of his name, J.D saw the red head turn around and smiled at him. J.D nearly melted at the sight of his beautiful white teeth and the dimples on the side of his face. He could feel his palms began to sweat as he held out his hand to shake Joshua's hand.
"Um" J.D gulped. "Hello, my name is Johnathan, but you can call me J.D"
"My name's Joshua, but you can call me Josh." Josh replied as he shook J.D's hand. He smiled when he noticed that J.D was still shaking his hand and did not seem to want to let go. "So J.D, I am going to need my hand back."
"Sorry" J.D blushed as he quickly pulled his hand away. "I got lost in my thoughts."
"That's okay, I get carried away too sometimes" Josh smiled.
"So I was thinking that I could set you up on a blind with Josh"
"Huh what"
"Yeah, I see how lonely you've been these past couple of weeks so I wanted to do something for you."
"Turk, I don't think."
"That it is a good idea but it's a great idea, you need to hit the dating scene again"
"No that's not it, I"
"You don't have to work; you have the night off and look so does Joshua."
"But I don't know"
"Look" Turk said as he pulled to the side and placed his arm around his shoulders. "I know that you may be scared about this whole dating thing but you shouldn't be. You and Josh have a lot of things in common and I think that you will have fun. Hell you even have the same first and last intials, so that is already one thing in common."
"What do you say J.D, one date is all I'm asking for" Josh smiled at J.D causing him to blush even more.
"Sure, I guess we could go on one date" J.D smiled.
"Good, I will pick you up tonight at eight" Josh smiled as he walked away.
"Oh my God" Carla shrieked. "Look at Bambi getting his groove back."
"Yeah Stella, did you find a pretty young boy to take you out tonight to show you good night out on the town" J.D turned around and saw that Perry was standing right behind him. "Here's an idea, instead of making plans to go out with dreamy paramedic maybe you should be doing, oh I don't know your job." Perry huffed as he walked away.
"Wow" Turk smirked. "He seemed angrier than usual"
"Yeah he did, I wonder what's eating him"
"I don't know, maybe his boyfriend making date plans with someone else." J.D thought to himself. "You know how Dr. Cox is"
"Yeah you're right" Turk shrugged as he turned his attention back to Carla who was now filing her nails. J.D decided to go and find Perry and explain the situation to him face to face. When he did find him, he was sitting in his office, staring at a patient's chart.
"What do you want Jezebel" Perry snapped not looking up from the chart.
"Look Perry" J.D said as Perry growled at him. "Dr. Cox, I know what it looked like."
"Oh really because it appeared to me that you were making date plans with someone when here I thought that we " Perry stated as he began pointing his fingers back and forth from himself and J.D, "had a thing"
"We do have a thing" J.D replied mimicking Perry's hand motions. "I know and you know but guess what, nobody else does because we have not told them. Therefore, it is only natural that they want to set me up with someone. It's not like I could have said no."
"Yes you could have, it's easy I tell you no all the time."
"I know that but those are my friends. If I had said no, they would have wanted to know why. Then they would have added pressure on me to spill why I did not want go out with him. And you know how I am under pressure."
"Yes I do Mr. Banana Hammock" Perry sighed.
"Look, its just dinner. I go out with the guy, pretend to like him, tell him that I had a great time but I'm not interested, break his heart, and come and screw the hell out of you back at your place." J.D smiled at Perry as he hoped on top of his desk.
"So you are just doing this for them, not because you want to."
"Maybe just a little"
"Yes, I am doing this for them but I can't keep them in the dark forever."
"I know"
"Alright" J.D winked as he hopped down from the desk and began to walk out of the office.
"J.D" Perry whispered before he had a chance to leave, causing J.D to turn around.
"Yeah."
"Have a nice time"
"Okay"
J.D arrived back at his apartment floating on air. He and Josh had an amazing evening and he was surprised to find that they had so much in common. They talked about everything from their childhoods to why they both choose fields in medicine. It felt good going out with someone who was not afraid to be seen with him and was able to have good time. Even though J.D was having a good time, he still spent half the night thinking about Perry and wondering if he was doing the right thing. It was so obvious that J.D's mind was somewhere else that Joshua had been able to tell.
"So who is he?"
"What"
"Who is he" Joshua spoke again. "This entire evening you have been laughing at all my jokes and blushing so hard that you're cheeks match my hair"
"And that's a bad thing" J.D smiled.
"No that's a very good thing." Josh smiled back. "The bad thing is while you are doing all of those things, I can tell that your mind is somewhere else."
"You can"
"Yeah I can. In addition, I also know that it is about a boy, so spill. So again I dare ask, who is he?"
"He" J.D sighed. "Is a guy that I have been seeing for two weeks now and I am very confused about what I am doing here?"
"So if you are seeing someone, how come Turk set us up?"
"Because he doesn't know, in fact no one knows"
"Oh, so let me guess he doesn't want anyone to know about you too yet."
"Exactly" J.D smirked. "And I really don't know what to do about the situation. I mean, I really like him but I am tired of hiding things from my friends you know"
"I know exactly how you feel J.D" Josh smiled. "Listen I like you, a lot, and I think that we could go somewhere. But I don't want to begin something if you are having doubts, because it's not fair to you or to me."
"I know it's not"
"So how about we call it a night, you go to bed and think about what you want." Josh smiled as he leaned forward placing J.D's hand into his. "And if it just so happens to be me that you choose, then you give me a call."
"Okay" J.D blushed. "I think that I can do that."
After their talk, Joshua dropped J.D off back at his place but not without a good night kiss. The kiss was sweet and made J.D feel good all over, but J.D could not really get into because he was in a relationship. Going to his apartment, he was shocked to find that the door was already unlocked and open.
"What the hell" J.D mumbled as he made his way inside and saw Perry sitting on his couch. "Perry what are you doing here."
"Waiting on you."
"Okay, but why"
"I wanted to see how your date went."
"It was horrible" J.D lied quickly. "I don't like him at all"
"Newbie you are a horrible liar" Perry snapped. "I can tell when you are lying and I know that you like the guy."
"Alright fine, I do like the guy. He's not bad." J.D admitted.
"What do you mean not that bad."
"Well" J.D smiled. "He's funny, smart, and he is not embarrassed to be seen with me in public."
"I'm not embarrassed"
"Sorry" J.D snapped. "You are scared."
"So I guess that's it huh"
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean. You like this guy more than me. You want to screw somebody else, what is there left to say"
"Just because I had a nice night with someone who I can actually get along with, doesn't mean that I want to screw him Perry. I simply stated that I had a nice time."
"Yeah right."
"Yeah Perry I did" J.D snapped. "And you want to know why, do you"
"Not really"
"Well too bad because I'm going to tell you." J.D shouted. "He's not ashamed of me, to be seen in public with me. He doesn't care who see us, or what people say because he likes me and nothing or no one can change that."
"I like you"
"Really because you don't show. I have to sneak around with you in supply closets and empty rooms. Lie to my friends about my personal life all because of you and your fear of what others say."
"So what are you saying?"
"I'm saying" J.D sighed. "I'm saying that I want to be with you and I think that we have the potential of going somewhere. BHowever, we cannot do that in hiding and sneaking around. So I want to know if you really want to be with me and if you really do then you have to prove it."
"Prove it"
"Yes prove it" J.D replied. "I am not going to start keeping secrets again, I can't and I won't. I deserve better than that and I will not deprive myself of happiness. And if you want to be with me, then you are going to have to show me."
"Whatever, I don't have time to do this nor do I want too." Perry grunted as he grabbed his coat and started to walk out of the door.
"Fine" J.D sighed. "I can't force you to be with me but it will be your loss."
J.D made his way to his room and sighed as he heard the door close, a signal that Perry was leaving and probably not coming back.
"His loss" J.D thought as he closed his own bedroom door.
The next morning J.D walked into the hospital feeling depressed. He wanted so much to make things work with Perry but the odds were against him. HE figured that he should cut his losses and go out with Joshua again. He may not have been Perry, but he was someone that wanted to love him and he could not get any better than that. He made his way to the nurse's station where Carla was.
"Hey Bambi" Carla smiled. "So how was your date?"
"It was fine" J.D fake smiled. "I had a great time"
"Well he must have been a great time, this was here for you when I came in."
"What" J.D replied as Carla handed him a card with a rose taped to the front.
"Thinking of you on the this special day" J.D read aloud and smiled. "Wow I guess we did." He was about to respond with something else but suddenly a deliveryman came to the front with a vase full of flowers.
"Delivery for a Dr. Dorian" the man smiled as J.D pointed to himself and grabbed the pen to sign the clipboard.
"Wow" Carla smiled. "Looks like you have someone under your spell J.D. He must like you a lot."
"Yeah I guess he does." J.D smiled again and was about to say something else when a little child came and grabbed his leg to get his attention.
"Can I help you" J.D replied bending down to talk to the kid.
"Yeah are you J.D"
"Yea I am"
"Some man told me to give this to you"
"What" J.D asked but the kid placed something in J.D's hand and ran off. When J.D stood back up he noticed that it was a Valentine's Day card.
"Is that a" Carla asked.
"Yeah it is, a Valentines." J.D smirked. "Man I haven't had one of these since elementary school. I wonder why Josh is doing all this."
"Because he likes you," Carla replied. "You do things like that for the people that you like. So open it, read what it says."
"Roses are Red"
"Violets are blue"
"Is this enough"
"Or do you need more proof."
"What kind of message is that?" Carla asked.
J.D thought about it for a minute and realized who these gifts were from. Throwing the card on the counter, he ran until he was standing outside of Perry's office. Taking a deep breath, he opened the door and saw Perry sitting in his chair with his back to the door.
"So you're finally here, what took you so long." Perry asked not turning around.
"I just got in, and Carla gave me the card." J.D smiled. "Then the flowers got delivered and then I got the Valentine's from the kid. So I guess that means that…"
"Not yet Newbie, I am not done yet." Perry replied as he got up out of the chair and grabbed J.D by the collar, dragging him from the room. They did not stop until they made it to Kelso's office and Perry shoved J.D inside and closed the door behind them.
"What are we doing in here?" J.D asked.
"Shut up and listen." Perry smirked as he grabbed the microphone that went with the intercom system.
"Attention Sacred Heart's hospital staff, this is Dr. Cox speaking and I have something to say. It has come to my knowledge that a few busybodies have been setting Dr. Dorian otherwise known as Samantha, or Bambi or Newbie on blind dates. I am here to inform that that will no longer be seen as acceptable because he is taken. By whom you may all be wondering, by me meaning that he is mine. STherefore, the rest of you love sick jackasses back the hell off before you end up in the morgue with Nervous Guy mutilating your body. Do I make myself clear? Oh and happy Valentine's Day you pathetic bunch of pansies." Perry ranted as he finished and put the microphone down.
J.D stood in shock as the whole world around him seemed to stop and there was nothing but silence all around them. He did not dare move for did not want this moment to end. He could not believe that Perry had actually done that, for him, for them. He would have basked in that moment forever, but Perry broke the silence with a laugh.
"Well did I prove it?"
"Um I think that you did" J.D stuttered as he pulled Perry into a hug.
"Think I did"
"Oh who the hell am I kidding, of course you did. You really did" J.D smiled as kissed Perry as hard as he could. They stayed like this until Kelso came barging in his office demanding
"…what the hell do you think that you are doing Perry? For goodness sakes, this is a hospital, not a hook-up hotline. What you and Dr. Dorian do behind closed doors is your business and we do not wish to know what you two are going. So how about you two get the hell out of my damn office before I fire you…" Kelso yelled as Perry and J.D made their way out of the office.
"Oh and Dr. Dorian, if you ever get tired of that Perry's bull I have a son that I would love to set you up with."
Perry growled at Kelso's words and pulled J.D out of the office. When they got outside, they were met by Carla, Turk, and Elliot.
"You two have got some explaining to do" Carla snapped waving her finger back and forth. "Why didn't you tell us and you better have a good reason too."
"Well Carla" J.D stuttered.
"Because I did not want you three busy bodies to know okay. It's not like it was any of your business to begin with."
"Did he just give me attitude?" Carla asked.
"I think he did baby"
"Oh no he didn't"
"Carla please." J.D intervened as Carla began to take off her stethoscope. "We both decided not to tell you because I was scared of how you three would react."
"React J.D come on" Elliot rambled. "I mean at first we have been like what the hell are you doing, sleeping with Dr. Cox. When you could do so much better than that bitter, egocentric, sarcastic manic for a boss"
"Barbie" Perry growled.
"But then we would have accepted it because you are our friend." She ended quickly
"Yeah J.D" Turk implied. "I always got your back no matter who you're dating. I am going to always be there for you."
"Really" J.D smiled.
"Of course Bambi, we lover you no matter what."
"I'm sorry," J.D admitted. "I should have never kept it from you."
"We forgive you, but I have an idea that it wasn't your entire fault." Carla smirked raising her brow at Perry.
"It wasn't" J.D started to say but he caught the face that Perry was making and decided against it. "But we both had our reasons for doing what we did."
"Whatever" Turk smiled. "I just want you to be happy."
"I am"
"Then I'm off. Surgeries won't happen by themselves."
"If they did you wouldn't be a pathetic ass like you are now" Perry smirked.
"Any way you could get him to be nicer to us seeing as how we're your friends." Elliot whispered.
Carla, Turk, and J.D all looked at Perry and shook their head back and forth.
"Nah" All four of them laughed as Elliot agreed with them.
"I didn't think so."
"Well got to get back to work." Turk clapped as he kissed Carl on the cheek and made his way down to the surgery ward.
"Yeah me too: Elliot added with Carla's "Me too."
J.D watched as his friends let and smiled at Perry with the "I told you so look" on his face.
"I told you so" J.D smiled as he hugged Perry around the waist.
"Told me what."
"Told you that nobody would care if they found out about us."
"I guess you did" Perry admitted as his J.D closer to him.
"It feels good to be right."
"Don't let it all go to your head. In this relationship you won't be often." Perry grunted as he kissed J.D on the lips.
"My God, this is a hospital. You want to make out like lovesick teenagers, go get a damn room." Kelso growled as he broke the two from kissing.
"Don't mind if we do" Perry smiled as he began to pull J.D to the nearest supply closet, closing the door and locking it.
"Happy Valentine's Day Newbie"
"Back at you" J.D smiled as he pulled Perry into a passionate kiss.
There you have it, some nice fluff for the fakest holiday that there is. Hope you enjoy it, if you do review if not screw you. Just kidding
