100 Compliments
Compliment 95
It was a slip-up, a careless mistake. A moment that he would most likely forever regret, and something that he was sure to never happen again.
"You actually kept it?"
The voice echoed behind him, the doctor freezing mid grab for his lab coat. Why had he not noticed the kid behind him? Why had he not taken more precaution before opening it, knowing full well what lay within. Knowing that if the other were to ever see, he would never live it down.
His eyes narrowed on the object in his locker. A simple T-Shirt, but it was the one that he had been given to by that very doctor behind him. The one that the entire staff had worn upon his return. Yes, the 'Welcome back Coxer' T-shirt.
"Yeah..." He finally muttered. He didn't know why he still kept it in his locker. It was something he reached around every day. One that he could have easily brought home, storing it away in a container where no one would ever find it. "I use it to wipe up the water after my shower."
The older doctor turned a glare back at his protege, but there was still a look of admiration on the others face. "I mean it." His eyes narrowed on the other, like his stare alone could will the other to believe his words. His lips pursed and his brows furrowed despite himself, it was the one thing he unconsciously did when eh was being sarcastic, but was trying to appear serious.
"You kept it." The male cooed again, leaning in just a bit.
Something in Dr Cox snapped at the tone the other held, turning and slamming his locker shut. "Fine, yeah! I did! I kept the damn thing!" He eyes snapped away from the closed locker to meet with the startled doctor, but the shock in his eyes was soon overpowered by amusement as another smile pulled across his lips.
"Ha ha, I get it. You don't like the fact that I discovered one of your little secrets."
"Little secret?" Dr Cox raised an eyebrow, his jaw set. Now if there was one thing that the other didn't have, it was secrets. Why would he try to hide something like that anyways? Other then for the blatant fact that he knew how the childish man would react upon finding it. So what if he kept the kid's shirt in his locker? It was...cool, and somewhat of a good luck charm. He would wear it under his white coat every now and then, but...it wasn't some kind of secret! It would never be some kind of secret.
"You liked it didn't you?" J.D's grin widened, but his question came out more like a statement, just said for the benefit of putting it out there. "You actually like the shirt."
"Do not."
"Do too.
"Not."
"Too."
"Not."
"Too."
"Not...Why am I arguing this with you?" Dr Cox suddenly snapped, refusing to continue this childish game of back and fourth.
"Cause you don't want to admit you liked my shirt. " J.D stated rather triumphantly, which only continued to prod at the others nerves. If the kid didn't want it he was going to get the shirt shoved down his throat. Show him how much he appreciated the shirt.
"Fine, you want me to admit it? Yeah...Yeah, I like the shirt. Yeah, I kept it in my locker, maybe I wear it, and yeah, not all of your ideas are ridiculous."
J.D's face was now about 70% smile.
"That counts as a compliment." Dr Cox finally muttered, turning towards the doors to leave the locker room, he didn't want to spend any more time in there with Mr. Sunshine.
"And ninety-three more to go!" J.D called after him in his sing-song voice, causing the doctor to once again pause mid action, one foot hesitating at the doorway.
He turned back around. "If you keep pushing it, you'll be dead before you get another one."
J.D straightened up, pulling his fingers across his lips in a "zip" juster.
Finally a small smile flickered across Dr Cox's lips as he vanished into the hall.
XD, yes Dr cox actually did say that comment on scrubs, but to Elliot not to J.D and I thought that the other deserved to know it too, so I came up with this little chapter. I already have another chapter idea, but sadly, I want to do that for chapter ten, cause it has a long awaited moment I wanted to do T_T help me out with finding some more ideas for this fic! PLEASE! That way you can finally get that chapter.
