Chapter 3

For two weeks JD had avoided Perry as much as he could. It had been hard work, with them working in close proximity, but JD was determined to respect Perry's wishes. They had taken breaks from each other before and it had made them stronger. He couldn't deny that when he saw Perry it took every ounce of strength to fight his desire, but he managed. Convinced that if he just waited it would all be worth it.

Still feeling a little awkward about his moment with Todd on the roof, JD had tried to avoid him too. It was easier to keep away from Todd than Perry, but success was still limited. Todd had managed to catch him off guard with a playful butt slap, a flirtatious wink or cheeky smile here and there. JD rolled his eyes every time, until the part of his brain that craved approval kicked in and he would smile and sigh at the unique wordless compliments.

As much as missing Perry sucked and Todd confused him, the lack of time spent with them had given JD more time with patients. This resulted in much better work and an overdose of approval, which boosted JD's self esteem. Plus there was now time to catch up with Turk. The best friends hadn't seen each other too much, since Turk had been so busy with his own stuff. While it helped with keeping secrets, JD did miss him occasionally and appreciated the opportunity to hang out.

"Seriously when she reaches sixteen, Izzy is not leaving the house without a sweater." Turk explained to JD over lunch. "So you heard anything from Kim recently."

"She's bringing Sam down for a visit this weekend. It will be cool to see how everything's going. I haven't seen him in months." JD thought about the last time he'd seen his son for a moment. "Hey we should get Izzy and Sammy to hang out together. Like a little play date."

"Oh my god you're becoming worse than Carla. She's wanting us to be all friendly with the playground parents." Turk picked at his food shaking his head.

Todd appeared out of nowhere and joined the table. Putting his tray down, he took the seat right next to JD. "Come on T-Dog, soccer moms can be hot. They know how to handle big balls. Wassup!?"

Turk high fived his friend. "Todd, never have kids."

"The Todd always uses protection." Todd attacked his burger with a fierce hunger, giving a little nod to JD.

"Now I've lost my appetite." JD felt a little disgusted with the imagery and pushed his tray back, prompting Turk to grab any meat products left on it.

"Bacon bits, how I love thee." Turk scoffed them in his mouth before his pager went off. "Gotta go, catch you later."

"See you Chocolate Bear. Don't forget, play date." JD turned back to realise that he was alone at the table with Todd. That Todd was sitting right next to him.

"Play date?" Todd asked with raised eyebrows, turning his seat to face JD. "Your son coming down this weekend?"

"Yeah, he is." JD replied, surprised that Todd showed interest in his life as opposed to making a sex joke. "I haven't seen him in a while."

"Speaking of not seeing people in a while, it feels like we haven't spoken in weeks." Todd commented before taking a mouthful of vitamin water. Swiftly and softly he nudged JD with his foot.

"I guess we've just had nothing to say to each other there, Todd." JD felt a little nervous as he knew Todd was just warming up. Just when he convinced himself that any minor feelings for Todd were fleeting, a spark was beginning to resurface as Todd continued to coax him into playing footsie.

"Actually I've had something I wanted to talk to you about." Todd explained, looking into JD's eyes. His looked turned less playful and even more serious. Reaching over, he touched JD's knee.

JD didn't really want to find out what that something was, especially when he had his suspicions. It was weird to see Todd looking so serious over anything not related to working out. Plus he was still technically with Perry, so JD was not about to let anything happen. Looking at Todd's hand on his knee, his mind screamed for it to get off but he couldn't quite bring himself to move. Especially when his leg had now become tingle central.

JD felt extremely lucky when his pager went off. It was a message from Perry telling him to go to the roof. JD couldn't hide his excitement and he smiled widely. Turning from Todd and reading the page once again to make sure it was real, JD let out a happy squeal His fingers were burning with the anticipation of touching Perry once again.

"Before you go dude, I'm going to be hanging out at the bar tonight. You going to be there?" Todd asked, his eyes looking somewhat hopeful.

JD wondered what Todd's intentions were briefly as he saw the look in his eyes. A fleeting rush of guilt filled him as he wondered just how much Todd actually liked him. Then thinking about Perry on the roof he quickly brushed Todd off. "We'll see how it goes."


Rushing towards the roof stairs, JD burst through the door. He caught his breath before running up and escaping into the outside. Perry was there waiting for him. JD admired every part of him, savouring the moment. He looked like he normally did, but the absence had made him seem even more sexy. Finally, to stop torturing himself JD went to Perry's side.

"You wanted to see me." JD grinned from ear to ear, trying to resist touching Perry. After all, it was Perry who paged him, Perry who wanted him. JD stood waiting, trying his attempt at a sexy stance just to tease his lover.

"Dammit I've missed you." Perry pulled JD to him, kissing him all over his face.

"You said we should take a break so." JD touched Perry's face and smiled. He felt the heat resonating from Perry's body, which in turn made his own temperature sky rocket. "I knew you missed me."

"Don't get carried away now, just come here." Perry pulled JD to his chest. A huge grin plastered on his face as he nibbled lightly on JD's ear. "Blow me."

JD lifted up Perry's shirt to his chest. Brushing the midsection, JD bit his lip at feeling the bare and sweaty skin beneath his fingertips. Moving his head downwards he kissed Perry's abs. He slowly but surely trailed downwards until he ended up on bended knees.

Planting kisses along the skin just above Perry's pants, JD felt a little cheeky and nipped Perry's belly button. JD teased the older man with his tongue as he lightly began flecking the skin. Hearing the growls that indicated Perry was now in a full blown state of arousal, JD moved his mouth back. Reaching his hand up, he dug his nails into Perry's pectoral flesh before raking them down.

"Why must you insist on this teasing foreplay? Do something before I have to strangle you." Perry moaned the words, desperate to feel JD's mouth.

Pulling down the older man's pants and boxers, JD couldn't help but admire Perry's engorged member for a moment. Drifting back to the last time it was inside him, JD felt his own member stirring. All the tension and passion he'd built up from avoiding Perry had risen to the surface. In desperation, he took Perry's dick in his mouth and began his smooth sucking. Licking it, playing with it, pleasuring it. Getting encouraged by the moans of passion coming from Perry.

"Oh god, JD." Perry cried out, trying to muffle his sound by covering his mouth. "Don't stop, for the love of god."

JD shut his eyes and continued to pleasure his lover. He worshipped Perry, making sure to feel every single movement. Exploring every part below Perry's waist. His strong calves, quivering knees and toned thighs. Moving his hands to squeeze his firm behind, massaging it as he continued with his mouth and tongue play.

Perry pushed down on JD's head, grabbing his hair and pulling. "JD I'm going to lose it, don't stop. Oh god. Oh….yeah."

JD spat the load out before wiping his mouth. He pulled up Perry's pants, rising to meet his lover's satisfied face. Stroking Perry's arm JD couldn't help but feel himself falling even deeper. A part of him wanted to keep teasing Perry, but an even bigger part was anticipating what Perry had in store for him. He pressed his cheek against Perry's, listening to the breathing.

"Are you going to return the favour?" JD asked, whispering in Perry's ear. He pulled back to meet Perry's eyes. An attempted look of seduction was plastered his face.

"I could return the favour now, or I could wait until later." Perry replied, nipping JD's earlobe.

JD's face twisted slightly in excitement. "Does that mean you'll be coming over tonight?"

"Oh yeah." Perry trailed kisses from JD's ear. Brushing JD's lips ever so slightly, it was easy to see the younger man wanted more. Perry grinned at the role reversal, knowing that he was now the one teasing JD to boiling point.

Seeing what Perry had done, JD tried to gain control back. Playfully JD stepped away. "I thought your rules were roof or nothing."

"Well then sunshine if you don't want me to come over I can toss Jordan a sympathy throw down."

"No no no." JD jumped on Perry and hugged his waist, officially giving up the control. "Come over and do naughty things to me."

Perry sighed, realising what he had done. He pushed his pleasure aside and with that, eased JD aside too. "Save it for tonight Newbie." He quickly made his exit, once again angry with himself for promising JD he would come over.

"Damn his incredible mouth." Perry muttered to himself as he walked down the stairs.


JD couldn't hold in his excitement. He danced around his apartment, not caring that he looked completely silly. Everything was going his way recently. His son was coming for a visit, Turk and he had made effort to spend time together, Janitor was nowhere to be seen due to one of his pranks backfiring and Perry was actually coming over.

"Everything's coming up JD!"

All afternoon he'd been restless and giddy with the mere thoughts of what Perry was going to do to him. He had made an effort to get things as perfect as possible. Bought some beer for himself and an expensive bottle of scotch for Perry's benefit. Set up a few tea light candles around the room for mood lighting. The pair of silk boxers he saved for special sex occasions were on underneath his clothes.

Realising that Perry had never set an official time, JD decided to open a beer and watch some television. As his luck would have it a Spongebob Squarepants marathon was playing.

"Oh Spongebob, what will you do next." JD sipped his beer with a giant grin on his face.

By seven thirty JD was getting increasingly restless and horny. He found himself checking the clock constantly. As the minutes passed by he kept convincing himself that Perry would burst through the door any moment. Turning his attention from the clock to the door, he continued waiting with his slowly waning hope.

By eight forty, JD was feeling slightly depressed. A few tea lights had blown out, messing the mood lighting and he'd downed four beers, which had him on the border of drunk. He finally decided to call Perry and see what was taking him. Picking up the phone he dialled the number for his house. Turning down the television his heart beat faster with every ring.

"Hello." Perry's voice sounded from the phone.

"Where are you?" JD asked, wondering why he was so paranoid he felt the need to whisper it.

Perry's annoyed tone answered his question. "Jack has a fever so I can't come over tonight."

"Oh." JD tried to hide the disappointment in his voice.

"You've made a really stupid move calling the house JD. Never call me here again, understand? Especially about this." Perry hung up after that comment.

JD was used to Perry being angry with him for one reason or another, but this time he felt more hurt than usual. An involuntary tear fell down his cheek. He wanted to be with Perry more than anything, but lately he wondered if it was worth it. Curling up on his couch and hugging his knees he tried to remember the feeling of Perry's arms around him that afternoon.

Staring at the cartoon still playing on TV, he couldn't help but notice the scotch out of the corner of his eye. The scotch he bought specially for Perry. Feeling completely taken for granted, JD sat up and vowed he wouldn't feel this way.

Remembering that Todd was going to be hanging around the bar that night, JD thought about going. Grabbing his jacket he contemplated finishing his moment with Todd and finding out what he had to say. Maybe he would bring Todd back to his apartment because at least he would appreciate the effort. He allowed himself to fantasise about the dark brown eyes, firm lips and incredible sculpted body. The warm tingley feelings that seemed to come only in his presence.

Pausing, JD couldn't help but wonder if he was just trying to sabotage his relationship, like he always did. He curled up on the couch again, deciding not to go out. The last thing he wanted was to risk losing the one he wanted for years for a silly crush. Besides, Perry only pushed him away because he didn't want to hurt others. It was natural he would be angry sometimes. Wiping the tears from his eyes, he calmed down and opened another beer, preying the next time on the roof would be soon.
