Chapter Seven

He awoke the next morning wrapped in the white sheets of his bed completely naked and lying next to a warm body. Turning over in the bed, he slowly remembered exactly how he winded up in his current predicament.

Flashback

J.D was alone his room listening to his Ipod while Evelyn and Perry sat in the other planning on new ways to get everything out of his head. So far everything they tried failed and everyone was going stir crazy being locked together, J.D especially.

He sighed as he changed the song on his device and leaned his head back on the pillow. The urge to call his friends and tell them everything that was going on was growing with each passing second and it pained him to know there was nothing he could do about it.

As if he could sense J.D's emotions, Perry walked through the door with a cell phone in his hand. J.D immediately sat up straight in the bed and stared at the older man with a confused stare. "Dr. Cox, what."

"Before you start blubbering I know how you get if you go a day without talking to your wife so I managed to get Eve to buy you this so you could call everyone and tell them you're fine."

J.D smiled a real smile for the first time since the night everything changed. "Really, you did that for me."

"Not just for you Jasmine. I don't think I could have survived another day with you whining about how much you miss your Bayside gang."

"Oh can I be Zack."

"No you cannot," Perry replied seriously. "You're more like Screech." Before J.D had a chance to turn his head to the side and start to daydream Perry whistled loudly and threw the phone to J.D. "Not now Cinderella."

"Jasmine, Cinderella. Disney characters."

"Just the ones that deal with princesses."

J.D laughed as he stared down at the phone. He couldn't believe Perry actually did something nice for him. When he thought about it everything Perry was doing for him, saving him, protecting him could be considered nice. Great even. It made him smile using the realization that maybe the older doctor did like him after all.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Call them all ready."

J.D was still smiling when Perry left the room and made his way to the kitchen. It was late in the evening and Eve had gone to check on a contact of hers. He had no idea when she would be back so for now it was him and J.D.

He grabbed a cold beer out of the fridge and began gulping it down as quickly as he could. Walking from the kitchen to the living room he turned on the television and tried to find something decent to watch while J.D stayed in the room and called his friends.

While his eyes remained on the T.V, his thoughts drifted to another subject matter. The man in the bedroom. Perry didn't know why but being around J.D for this long hadn't bothered him the way he thought it would. Sure J.D had his annoying moments but other than that Perry realized that he liking having the younger doctor around. Not to mention he wasn't bad to look at.

Sighing, he took another sip of his beer and threw all thoughts of J.D out of his mind. Concentrating hard on the what was on in front of him. It didn't matter because soon the sound of someone sitting down beside him caused him to turn his head. "Bell."

"Still going with the Disney princess theme I see," J.D grinned happily.

"Gotta stick with what works."

"That's a nice motto."

"So, how'd it go?"

"If you're worried that I told Turk anything I didn't." replied J.D. "I stuck with the cover story of me being in confinement while the government made sure I didn't have some deadly contagious virus. It took some convincing but I triple double-decker swore that I wasn't lying."

"But you are," smirked Perry with a raised eyebrow.

J.D sighed heavily. "I know and I feel terrible right here," he replied, pointing to his heart.

Perry shook his head but remained quiet as he returned his gaze back to the television. J.D followed suit and soon the two of them were engrossed by something that was on the black box.

"Dr. Cox," spoke J.D as he turned around to face the man sitting beside him. The show was over and now there was nothing on except for a commercial. J.D decided it was a good as time as any to talk.

"What is it," he asked without turning his head.

"Before you say anything or call me a girl for being such a sentimental sap I would just like to say thank-you, for everything."

"I don't understand-"

J.D raised his hand and silenced Perry before he had a chance to finish his sentence. "Please, just hear me out. I want to thank you for taking the time to keep me safe and hidden from mad men who want to kill me. I know doing this isn't something you wanted to do ever again but you're doing it. I don't know why but you are and it makes me grateful that you are."

This caused Perry to turn his head and look at J.D's smiling face. His heart clenched in his chest as it began to beat uncontrollably. "J.D, I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything. Just you being here is enough," J.D smiled as he continued to stare at Perry, trying his best not to get to emotional. He took a deep and exhaled before turning back to Perry. "Okay, go ahead."

"What?"

"Call me a girl, ask me if it's that time of the month, make fun of me. It's what you always do after I say something girly."

"I'm not going to do that J.D"

"Really."

Perry couldn't help but laugh at the shocked expression on J.D's face but suddenly stopped when he realize the reason for it. He'd be the first to admit that since J.D began working at the hospital as an intern he'd been more than harsh and unfair to the young man. Someone other than him would say that it was simply because he was a bastard but that wasn't it. It was Perry's way of keeping people away and from being hurt. Still he had to admit that it had been five years and J.D showed no signs of going away. Maybe deep down he didn't want him too. "Yes really," Perry finally said. "I'm not going to make fun of you."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to say your welcome and don't mention it," he smiled. "And, that I'm glad to be here…with you too."

Suddenly the space between them began to disappear as they found themselves inching closer towards each other. Soon lips were pressed together and gave way to something more passionate.

J.D moaned as Perry's tongue invaded his mouth, still it wasn't enough. He wanted, no he needed more. Throwing all caution in the wind, he crawled into Perry's lap and continued the kiss. He moaned again as he rubbed their hard erections together.

Perry couldn't believe what was happening. A part of him knew he should do something and stop it. Sex would only lead to heartache and it was something neither of them wanted but his body held all the control. And his body didn't want to stop, especially not after being this close to J.D. It felt to good.

The kissed deepened as they rocked their bodies together, pleasure shocks soaring through them. Finally they pulled apart for air and tried to catch some as well.

"Bed?" asked Perry.

J.D nodded, still trying to catch his breath.

"What are we doing?" Perry huffed as they stood up and began making their way to J.D's room.

"I have no idea." answered J.D honestly, pulling Perry into another heated kiss. They reached the bedroom a few seconds later still immersed in their kiss. J.D felt his body land on the bed and Perry lie on top of him before they separated for air.

Perry stared down at the man lying underneath him trying to figure out what to do next. J.D's entire face was flushed, his hair tousled, and his lips red and bruised. He was a beautiful sight to behold. God, he wanted J.D but he didn't know what J.D wanted. "J.D." he whispered softly. "Do you want this?"

J.D slid his hands up Perry's shirt and smiled. "You have no idea how much I do." Once more pulling Perry into another deep kiss.

End of Flashback

Now there they were the two of them early the next morning lying side-by-side, naked. J.D didn't know what he should do. He could lie back down and pretend he was still asleep or he could sneak off and-

"Either go back to sleep or go away but for god's sake Debra stop thinking so damn hard."

He looked down to find Perry lying on his back and staring up at him. "Sorry," he apologized. "I didn't mean to wake you."

"Well you did."

"Like I said sorry."

Perry sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair. Truth be told he'd been up long before he felt J.D stir but he hadn't had the guts to move. What if J.D regretted what they did together? Sure he wanted it last night but today was a new day.

"Now who's thinking to hard," J.D smirked as he used his arm to prop himself up.

"Using my own words against me Newbie, nawt cool."

"You think now that we slept together you could lay off the Newbie thing."

"No."

"The girls' name then."

Perry shook his head again, giving J.D a 'seriously' look. "No."

"Just checking," J.D sighed sadly as he lied back down.

Perry decided they shouldn't beat around the bush any longer. They needed to talk and the sooner they did it the soon the awkward the situation would be over. "Look J.D we need to talk."

"About what, what we did last night?"

"Yeah…that."

"Why?" shrugged J.D. "We're both adults, it was consensual, and we enjoyed it. You did enjoy it didn't you."

"That's not what I want to talk to you about." Perry replied, shaking his head. This was turning out to be harder than he realized. He took a deep breath before speaking again. "I need to know if you regret it."

J.D's heart began pounding furiously in his chest. He knew it was coming that feeling of regret after a one-night stand. He just wished it wasn't coming from Perry. "Do you?" he asked instead of answering.

"I asked you first."

"If I answer will you respond and say something I don't like."

"Maybe, depends on what your answer is."

"Then no," he whispered, turning his gaze downward. "I don't regret it." There he waited silently for the rejection he knew was coming. Perry was going to say that what happened between them was a mistake. That he should forget about it ever happening. What happened was something he didn't expect. A hand reaching up and cupping the back of his neck. Looking up, he saw Perry staring at him but there was no regret in his eyes. "Do you?"

"It's complicated J.D."

"It's a yes or no question."

"I'm broken, bitter, narcissistic, and spiteful." admitted Perry. "Overall I'm a jackass."

J.D snickered softly. "Tell me something I don't know."

"I don't want to hurt you."

"You won't."

"And, I don't want to lose you," He paused before saying the next part. "You're important to me." he admitted for the first time since the two men met.

J.D's entire face lit happily at the man's word. It's something he'd never thought he'd hear but something he always wanted. Reaching over, he placed a soft chaste kiss on Perry's lip. "You're important to me too." he whispered once they pulled apart. "And like I said, you won't. I promise."

"I'll hold you to it."

"I'd rather you'd hold something else," he whispered seductively in the other's man ear.

Perry said nothing; instead he let out a low growl and pulled J.D closer to him.

I told you there was going to be Coxian love and I that's exactly what I gave you. Now it wasn't full on smuttiness because that would mean I would have to change the rating. Hope your happy but try not to stay that way because there is some angst ahead. So until next week,

Don't take candy or other things from strangers,
