Chapter 13
That particular morning saw JD snuggling deep into Todd's sheets after a night of kinky play. One of many nights they had shared, along with many fun dates, during the beginning of their relationship. A smile was plastered on his face as he could smell breakfast coming from the kitchen.
Opening his eyes, JD looked at the ceiling and simply savoured the moment. His body had healed and not been abused again. He was more upbeat than ever, which resulted in a better work ethic, not to mention extra living room dancing. There were actual outings involved with his boyfriend, with public displays of affection.
Behind closed doors, Todd's kinky foreplay had added new tricks to his repertoire and alerted him to many previously untouched moan zones. Not only had JD been the recipient of some powerful orgasms, but he had been able to return the favour which Todd much appreciated. A few times Todd had commented on how much better and intimate sex was when feelings were involved, making him even more grateful to JD. Life was good.
Todd soon joined him in the bedroom. His face sported a 'how did I get so lucky' look. As JD stared back at Todd with the same thoughts, there was a moment of contentment. The surgeon jumped on the bed, tackling JD into a cuddle and planting kisses on whatever part of his naked, giggling boyfriend he managed to hit. Soon enough JD managed to find Todd's lips and return a few gentle, romantic pecks.
"Good morning, I've made us breakfast." Todd pulled JD on top of him, trailing cashmere-gloved hands up JD's sides.
"Oooo, cashmere." JD shivered as the material brushed against his body. He smiled at the feel of gloved fingers teasing his back. "I'd love to cuddle with you but I have to go really soon."
"Do you have to go into work this morning?" Todd moved his hands down and stroked JD's extra sensitive lower back, letting one finger slide to the top of his crack, teasing the area.
"Oh god, stop doing sexy things!"
"But it's our three week anniversary and The Todd can do so much more with these gloves. I know how much you're loving this."
JD shivered as his lower back went crazy with tingles and a fingertip continued stimulating the top of his sensitive ass crack. "That cashmere feels so good mmmmm…but I have patients to take care of and because of you being so cheeky I've fallen a little behind."
"That's not my fault. You walk around wearing those navy scrubs." Todd let out a little moan of lust as he shut his eyes and pictured it. "You're such a tease."
JD sat up, straddling his lover and grabbing Todd's gloved hands to stop him pushing any more buttons. "Well you walk around revealing your arms." He leaned down, playfully biting Todd's tattoo. "Strong, manly, tasty arms."
"JD likes the guns." Todd stated as though making a mental note. Flexing his arms, he winked at his lover. "You can touch them all you like, the safety's on."
"No, don't tempt me! I have to get up for work. Some of us didn't get the morning off." JD turned away, groping around on the floor for his clothes.
Todd lay on the bed, suggestively stroking the empty space next to him. "Come on JD, just a quickie before work? You have time for that."
"Todd do you remember the last time we had a 'quickie?' It ended up lasting three hours!" JD tried to avoid jumping back into the bed by facing away from Todd.
"I don't remember you complaining at the time." Todd reached over, managing to run a hand up JD's inner thigh.
"Stop that!" Dressing himself quickly, he spun around to see Todd watching him with a smile. "I'll see you later."
Swiftly Todd sprung out of bed and pulled JD into a hug. He held JD possessively close to his body and nestled his head in JD's neck, which had become a favoured place. JD relished in the safety of Todd's arms until the last second when he knew he must leave.
"I'm going to be late." JD pulled away from Todd. "Have fun but not too much fun."
"You know I'll be in later. Workout, surgery and then we can have a little encore in the small lecture hall." Todd called out after him.
JD grabbed what he could for breakfast and skipped out to his scooter. He couldn't remember the last time he had been so happy and overjoyed. Everything in his world just seemed so much brighter since he and Todd became official.
As he parked outside Sacred Heart, JD almost felt happy about going into the building. It didn't matter that it was full of sick people and the man who had scorned him. Nothing could kill his mood, not even the Janitor's evil eye as he walked through the front doors.
"Good morning Carla. Aren't you looking lovely today." JD greeted her cheerfully, picking up a chart and flicking through it.
"Bambi, were you rehearsing some scenes from Dr Acula last night?" Carla smirked, following it with a slight giggle.
JD's eyes went wide. He spotted a nurse with a compact and grabbed it from her. Looking into the mirror he gasped at the few noticeable hickeys displayed on his neck. Grinning sheepishly, JD handed the compact back and strutted back over to Carla. He made a promise to himself not to care what anyone thought.
"Looks like The Todd can do his job correctly." Carla remarked before JD could say anything. "So tell me, did he end up buying the cashmere scarf?"
"Since when did you and Todd become all best-friendy?" JD asked, unable to control his beaming at the thought of cashmere against his skin.
"Since when did you get all secretive? Come on, tell me."
"No, he didn't buy the cashmere scarf." JD replied, having a flash back and grinning. "He bought the gloves."
Checking on his patients, everything seemed fine. It was a drama free morning, which came around very rarely in the hospital. JD felt good that he could just relax with some of his patients and friends, as well as stealing a few moments to himself every now and again.
Sitting in the doctor's lounge, sipping a coffee JD was enjoying watching some television. At least he was pretending to watch while systematically drifting off into his fantasy world. He loved being truly happy. Even more he loved knowing that other people knew about him and Todd, meaning he could discuss it openly. The openness did take a bit of getting used to, but it made JD appreciate the simple moments like a hug or kiss in the halls and holding hands.
"Hey there geek, how are you today?" Jordan stepped into the doctor's lounge, drinking her own cup of coffee.
"Not bad dragon lady, how are you?" JD greeted Jordan with a grin.
"Calm down DJ, the only reason I'm talking to you is we seem to have something in common." Jordan tugged at a scarf on her neck, revealing her own set of hickeys. "Perry has been getting aggressively handsy. I figured as his little bitch-boy you might be able to tell me why."
"I have no idea." JD felt the awkwardness ruining his good day. The last thing he wanted to talk about was Perry, especially with Jordan.
"Oh geez what good are you?" Jordan sipped her coffee. "You seem to like being marked territory."
"Well see Jordan I actually like intimate moments with people I care about."
"I care so little I almost died." Jordan replied, her apathetic smirk remaining.
Feeling angry at the woman for messing with his day JD quipped back as he stood up. "We can only hope." Turning on his heel he left the room as quickly as possible.
Perry wandered the halls, completely frustrated. His office had just become too small and his home felt unwelcoming. He had tried to visit the gym earlier, only to run into Todd working on his arms. The bar was of no comfort, considering what had happened there, so a lunchtime scotch was out of the question. It was difficult to escape the fact that JD had well and truly moved on from him.
One part of Perry was happy and relieved. There were no secrets anymore. He wasn't lying to Jordan and the kids. His anger was under control and JD wasn't getting hurt by his hand. These were the new aspects of the situation that he tried to focus on as he went about the day. It was pointless though, as he could never forget the envy and the memories which bound him to John Dorian.
Walking passed the doctor's lounge he spotted the two love birds on the couch. JD was reading from some medical textbooks. Todd watched Sportscenter on TV while occasionally leaning over to kiss or smell his companion. They looked so happy that it made Perry sick. However, just like the first time and others over the weeks, he found himself unable to look away.
JD shivered and commented on the cold. Todd produced a blanket, wrapping it around JD so they both cuddled into it. The couple kissed as they seemed to enjoy the new warmth.
"Todd did you steal a blanket from housekeeping?" JD questioned, playing with Todd's hands.
"Can't have my boyfriend being cold." Todd stated, pulling JD onto his lap and deeper into the blanket.
"Awww, that's sweet." JD shut his book, turning his complete attention to Todd. "So what has been your favourite moment since having J-Dizzle as your official and exclusive man candy?" He asked with a huge smile on his face.
"When your bruises healed and we could finally have full blown sex." Todd kissed JD again. "Not that the foreplay isn't fun."
Rolling his eyes at the obvious Todd answer, JD replied. "So sex is the only thing you like about me is it?"
"That's not true." Todd squeezed him tight. "There was our day off when we took Sam to the zoo. That was cool…" unable to resist the opportunity to tease his boyfriend, Todd grinned and added "…especially when you were eating that hot dog."
"That's it! You're going down!"
Perry watched as the couple began to play fight. The medical textbook fell to the floor; the lovers seemed to disappear as they sank into the couch, laughing and wrestling. Neither of them cared or knew about the man spying at the door and more than anything Perry wished that JD would acknowledge him.
"Tough break." Carla appeared out of nowhere, eyeing the scene which now showed the couple making out. "They seem really happy together."
"This is disgusting. It's a hospital not a brothel!" Perry angered up and prepared to storm in.
"So when you and JD were sneaking around it was okay?" Carla replied, stopping Perry in his tracks. She demanded with her eyes that Perry leave JD and Todd alone.
As Carla walked away, Perry followed her. "How did you know about-"
"You and Bambi? Please. You were hardly James Bond about hiding it." Carla explained as though she was stating the obvious.
"Okay now how about you tell me how you really found out instead of this 'nurses know everything' crap that you expect me to believe." Perry grunted, anxious to know what Carla did.
Turning around and getting in his face, Carla raised a finger. "Don't talk to me like that." Opening the door to Perry's office, she motioned him into the more private quarters. "Okay, I caught you two kissing on the roof access stairs awhile ago."
"Just so you know it was just a sexual tension thing."
Hands on hips, Carla shook her head. "Who do you think you're talking to Perry? I see the way you look at him. As much as you deny it, you love and crave the attention as much as he used to from you. Even though you have Jordan and two kids, whenever JD and Todd share a little affection you stand back, sulking and wishing it was you. What were you thinking?"
Frustrated, Perry took a seat and grunted. "What does it matter Carla? We've both moved on. I'm taking care of my family and Newbie has got his lovely thing going with The Todd. Oh my god just saying that makes me sick."
"You still have feelings for JD, don't you?" Carla's voice became more sympathetic. "You've been trying to do the right thing, but you care about him."
"No I do not!" Perry replied with certainty, though soon began squirming under Carla's accusing eyes. "Maybe a little but it doesn't matter any more as long as nobody else but you and your butcher husband know. So since we all know you can't keep a secret, dare I ask?"
Carla gasped at this new information. "Turk knew? I wonder why he didn't tell me."
"Maybe because he knows you too well and figured that once you knew the whole hospital would." Perry stated through a sarcastic, gritted teeth smile.
"Watch it Perry! If you really think I'd hurt a family over a piece of gossip, then you're in trouble." Carla gave him a warning look, before answering his question. "But since you ask it's just me and I guess Turk, unless JD has told Todd. I have to say I'm impressed you managed to keep it down to just that. Then again, people are probably just too scared to spread gossip about the man who could fire them at any second."
Perry shook his head, remembering the scene he walked in on in the showers. The moment which haunted him more than any other public display the couple had indulged in. "Well one thing's for sure JD wouldn't tell Todd. Not after everything that's happened. In fact I don't even think he wants to know of my existence anymore."
"That hurts you, doesn't it?"
Perry looked into her concerned eyes. Carla was the one person in the hospital he could trust, especially since she just seemed to know him so well. Only to her would he admit the truth, if not even to himself. "Like hell."
Relieved that the day was finally over, Todd and JD were getting ready for the night ahead. They had planned to go out for a casual but nice dinner before going back to JD's apartment. Both had been antsy and excited all afternoon.
Walking towards the exit, the two were hand in hand. JD gave Todd's hand a squeeze, swinging their hands back and forth between them, almost to emphasise and broadcast to anyone nearby that they were a couple. He couldn't help but love doing that, it was cheaper and more modest than a big colourful billboard bragging about it, a thought which had come to mind once or twice.
"When we get back to your place, I'm going to sex those blue scrubs right off." Todd whispered to JD, making him quiver with excitement. "Oh yeah and that thing you did this morning when you bit my arm, nice!"
Todd threw his arm around JD and dragged him close. JD laughed as he linked his fingers with Todd's on his shoulder. Catching their reflections in a small window, he couldn't help but see how incredibly cute they looked together.
"What are you thinking about?" Todd asked JD. "Let The Todd in to your fantasy world. Tell me what I'm doing in there."
"Working magic with peaches and cream." JD bit Todd's earlobe.
Todd shivered in lust, pinning JD against the wall. "Make out with me right here."
JD protested, turning his head. "Our reservations are at six thirty. We have to go home and get ready." His argument didn't matter because he gave in as his boyfriend pressed against him.
"Actually you better cancel those reservations that you've got going." Perry stormed up to the couple, causing them to break apart. He had his serious face on, which signalled that he meant business and was possibly going to rant. "Good to see that you two finally came up for air. Maybe now you'll realise that this building is in fact a hospital and not the set of a smut flick, although the whole naughty nurse genre seems to argue against that point. Now hopefully that has penetrated your extremely thick skulls enough to realise that you are in fact doctors. Though I have to say I use the term lightly."
"What's your point Doctor Cox?" JD asked, emphasising the fact that he now referred to his former lover as Doctor Cox.
"That's Chief Doctor Cox to you and Newbie, you're on call. So you and your incredibly gay boyfriend are going to have to practise mouth to mouth some other time." Perry pushed a chart in JD's chest, clearly proud of his accomplishment.
"Uncool!" Todd cried out after Perry before shooting JD a disappointed look. "Tomorrow then?"
"We'll see." JD gave Todd a quick kiss before running to catch up with Perry.
As though he predicted exactly what JD would do, Perry laughed the moment he heard running feet catching up to him. What he didn't know is that the younger doctor meant business.
"You're a pathetic asshole." JD spat at Perry, grabbing his arm with surprising strength.
"Oh I'm sorry. Here I thought you took an oath and had a sense of responsibility to your patients instead of your libido. Then again, maybe I'm just dreaming."
JD nodded with an angry smirk on his face. "You throw me away like garbage and now that I'm not paying poor little Perry any attention anymore you get all upset and change my scheduale."
Perry laughed in JD's face, leaning against the wall behind him. "Don't flatter yourself that this has anything to do with you."
JD's anger caught him off guard. "Fuck you Perry." He went to turn away and leave the boss to his business though he suddenly had a thought. "There is a roof at Sacred Heart."
"I beg your pardon." Perry wasn't sure why but the mention of the roof paralysed him, despite his wish to walk away.
"A roof." JD repeated with his eyes wide. He stared right into Perry's face. "Remember where we used to do all that stuff to each other. So no matter if you separate Todd and me tonight, we can find so many ways to be together. Supply closets, doctor's lounge oh and your personal favourite, the showers. All of it, right under your nose."
"Looks like you've went and got yourself a big boy spine there." Perry leaned into JD with rage in his eyes. "Too bad I don't give a damn."
"Todd knows how to treat me. He touches me better than you ever could. I always did prefer a kiss to a kick."
"Shut up!" Perry snapped, signalling that JD had gotten to him.
JD's only reply was a look of satisfaction and a good old-fashioned storm out. Perry stared after him. Shaking the feelings off, he walked out the front doors preparing for a night off.
NOTE: That Carla, she knows all! Looks like JD has learned to stand up to his tormentor. But no matter how upset Perry gets, he can't stop the JDodd from getting even closer. Or will he find a way? The next chapter is looking to be a sweet and sexy one indeed. Are you ready for it? Huh? Are you :-) Thanks for reading/reviewing/followng the story!
