Authors Notes: The day had been great except for the annoying silence that seemed to be ringing in his ear.
Perry walked in the hospital and immediately knew something was off. He had woken up this morning to a non-crying Jack and a partial happy Jordan. His car was purring like a kitten after getting a full body tune-up and he arrived to work on time.
Walking into the hospital, he noticed that not many people were there and everyone seemed to be in a happy mood just like he was but then suddenly something felt off. He went over to Carla and frowned as she handed him a couple of charts.
"You have a patient in room 230 complaining of chest pains and a patient in 236 who fell down a couple of stairs and needs stitches. I would give you more but that's all I got right now."
Perry went to walk off and check on his patients but something still felt off. He couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was but he knew something was different. He checked on his patients, stitching up patient number two and telling patient number one they had a bad case of angina. Finally, after two hours of treating, he walked back to the nurse's station where he was given more charts by Carla.
"Someone was just admitted-"
"Carla" Perry interrupted her before she could finish. "Does something feel different to you?"
"No why?" shaking her back and forth.
"I don't know, it's just…something feels different, like off…like quiet or something."
"Quiet, Perry you have-oh I know what it is."
"Well please tell me because it is just killing me not knowing what it is."
"J.D's not here."
"Excuse me."
"J.D called in sick today, I think he has the flu but he wouldn't see a doctor so I made him stay home. Poor Bambi, all alone in that apartment by himself with no one to look after him." She sighed as she picked up some papers.
"So you're trying to tell me that the reason I'm feeling off is because Portia isn't here today?" Perry scowled as he grabbed the charts from the counter and raised his eyebrow. He refused to believe the reason he had been feeling off was because of J.D; that was ridiculous. "That's crazy talk."
"Believe what you want Dr. Cox but I know different. This hospital…it just seems less lively when J.D isn't here. You know you miss him too, so just admit it already and go see him after work."
"I would rather let Jack drive my car then go see about Olivia after work." Perry growled as he walked away from her.
Two hours later, he decided to leave work earlier and go do something he never thought he would do. Grabbing the bag out of the passenger seat of his car, he climbed five flights of stairs and impatiently knocked on the door in front of him.
The door opened and Perry saw a pale, sickly body leaning in the doorframe. The cheeks were sunken in and normally placed hair was wildly flying everywhere. They had tried their best to smile but it was quickly followed by a cough.
"Dr. Cox" they finally said, their voice raspy from the coughing. "What are you doing here?"
"Carla told me you were sick, so I decided to come see for myself."
"Well" J.D smirked as he waved his hand in front of his body, up and down. "As you can see I'm sick and really bored so if you want to come in and keep me company, you can."
"Let's just make this clear, I am only doing this because you are sick and in need of medical attention and also Carla would kill me if something happened to you while you were sick."
"Got it" J.D smiled as he moved out the way to let the older man in, who just grunted as he slammed the bag into his chest. He took the bag into the kitchen and grabbed a spoon from the pancake drawer. He pulled the soup out of the bag and sat down beside Perry had already turned the TV to ESPN. J.D smiled as he ate the soup and soon felt himself falling asleep.
Perry felt a head fall on his shoulder and realized that J.D had fallen asleep. Not wanting to wake him, he moved his body so that his head was in his lap. He grabbed the throw that was on the couch and pulled it over J.D. The off feeling he had had earlier had disappeared as he watched J.D sleep and he realized that he had grown use to J.D being around so much that a day without was unbearable. He figured that one day he would tell him but for today, he would just relax and enjoy the quiet because he knew that it would disappear when J.D woke up again.
