Comforting Cuddles
Todd sat in the doctor's lounge after an unfortunate surgery. It was a risky procedure to begin with, but Todd was sure he would succeed. He'd developed somewhat of a friendship with the patient, since Turk and JD always seemed to do that with theirs. His failure made him feel all the more guilty.
JD found him there, sitting on the couch. The medical doctor walked over and wrapped an arm around Todd. Sliding the other arm around slowly, JD pulled his boyfriend into a warm hug.
"I heard about what happened. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, The Todd is fine." Todd swung his legs onto JD's lap. "How do you care so much about your patients? What do you do when one you kind of care about dies?"
"I know you tried to remain detached, which probably works for you." JD pulled Todd closer, letting the surgeon rest on his shoulder. "But when a death really gets to me, I usually come to you."
Todd shut his eyes, hearing JD's heart beat in his ears and gradually feeling comforted by the arms that circled him. "Why do you come to me?"
"I guess in a way you help me get over it, the same way I've opened up your more caring side. Find the balance between us and we'd have it perfect." JD tightened his arms around Todd, stroking his lover's hair. "But it's more because you have this way of holding me until it all goes away."
Todd's arms wrapped around JD; returning and deepening the hug. "No wonder you like hugs so much. I'm starting to feel better already."
