Author’s notes: Sorry this chapter took me so long. Usually I don’t have many problems with writing smut but somehow, this particular one fought me hard. Rating is also for anatomical details that some might find repulsing.
Also, I’m writing this after returning from cinema – anyone seen “Wild hogs”? McGinley had only two scenes there but gods, I laughed so hard I could barely breathe. I hope that nice piece of ass he showed was really his ;)
I am disappearing after Saturday for about a week. New Potter is coming up, so yeah.

The shattered shaft
Chapter 5

The keys rattled briefly as Perry struggled to open the door, desperately trying to rearrange his grip on the brown paper bags with the groceries he had just bought a couple of minutes ago. It was truly a blessing that the shop just around the corner was still open this late in the evening, but right now Perry was cursing all seven rings of hell while he tried not to loose his balance. The task was finally done and Doctor Cox let out a pleased grunt as he closed the door behind him and nearly ran to his kitchen counter before the bags of food toppled over.

Really, it was usually the kid who did the shopping when he was over at his place, but right after they came back from the hospital, JD announced tiredly that he needed a shower. Perry figured he would be hungry later on, but right then, his refrigerator was a pitiful sight. He had rarely been at home for the last week at all, much less had a real dinner. Hence the trip to the store and buying all of that healthy (and gross) food that Newbie seemed to like a bit too much for his own taste.

He considered asking him if he needed help in the shower, but then decided otherwise. The kid was quite capable doing it on his own, having a plastic bag and a few pieces of duct tape to protect his splint.

Perry huffed in annoyance as he glared at the amount of food he still needed to unpack. Tossing his wallet and cell phone on the counter as well he ventured to the bedroom, to see if Newbie was still occupying the bathroom.

Much to his surprise, JD was already lying on bed, on top of the covers and fast asleep. The older man stood in the doorway for a bit, observing the steady movement of his chest as he breathed in and out wearing the awkwardly peaceful expression he hadn’t seen for the last week ever since he was brought to the hospital. It was also first time in last couple of days that JD had fallen asleep on his own, without help of medications. That simple fact made Perry smile a bit, but then his smile slowly disappeared as his eyes fell on the pillows that JD used to elevate his hand. The white splint looked out of place, something that didn’t suit the usually chirpy kid at all. It made him look weaker and sick – something Perry didn’t like to see when related to people he cared about.

He turned off the lights and came closer to the bed to fix the covers. Without moving JD it seemed impossible to cover him up properly and Doctor Cox didn’t really want to risk waking him up, not when he was finally getting a healthy sleep. So he opted for a blanket instead and tucked JD in as well as he could without touching him too much. He wanted to brush his hand at the dark hair of the other man, finally truly soft when free of the impossible amount of hair product, but after short battle with himself he decided not to.

His cell phone in the kitchen rang loudly and Perry rushed out of the room, cursing in his mind. Closing the bedroom door as silently as he could he grabbed the device and pressed the acceptance button.

“I swear to god, Carla, this is getting out of hand. First Barbie, then Gandhi and now you?” He growled into the phone as the familiar voice on the other side of the line greeted him. Snapping his refrigerator open he started to rummage through the paper bags, pulling the food out. “Newbie is out of your sight for only few hours and all of you are already hunting him down.”

He vaguely listened to Carla’s answer on the other side as he grabbed the nearest item and looked at it quizzically. Beansprouts. Only Newbie could eat stuff like that. He frowned and put them away on the shelf, as far away as he could reach.

“No, he’s fine.” He replied to the nurse’s question as she came to end of her rant. “All of you should stop acting like he’s in danger here. You make me seem like I want to finish off the kid myself.” He winced at the outraged yell from the other side of the line and the string of Spanish words that even an idiot would recognize as cursing. “Stop yelling, I know it’s a bad joke.”

He put away the few bottles of beer.

“What?” He stopped in mid-action, frowning even more. “No, you are not coming over tomorrow; I told you he is fine! He’s sleeping right now and for once without help of the little white pills.” He listened to the silence for a moment, knowing he had managed to calm her down. “He’s alright, Carla. Tired and hurt, but he will be fine. And if any of you three musketeers will come to my place tomorrow I am getting a restraining order, clear?”

The soft laugh on the other side made his frown disappear and then came another question from the Latina nurse.

“Yeah, yeah, you know I will. Hanging up now, ‘mkay?” Without wasting time to wait for her answer he cancelled the call and put away his phone once again. Really, couldn’t those people leave Newbie alone even for a second?

------

Perry was halfway through the medical journal and the article about DNA-based injections in oncology when JD stirred in his sleep. Raising his eyes from the paragraph he was currently on he met the sleepy, tired gaze of the younger man. JD was still buried under the heavy blanket on his side of the bed, while Doctor Cox stretched comfortably on his own side.

“How long was I out?” JD asked in a whisper, blinking hard few times in an attempt to wake himself up. Hair fell in his eyes and he nearly growled in annoyance at the distressed state of his hairstyle.

“A couple of hours.” Doctor Cox abandoned the oncology report and flipped a few pages of the journal. “Which is good, probably. First time in a while I’ve seen you out without help of drugs.”

“I didn’t even plan to fall asleep. Just sort of happened.” JD scowled as he shifted his injured hand on the pillows and scooted closer to his lover, resting his head on his arm. Perry said nothing but he did not move away, silently allowing the other man to cuddle up to him.

It took him a couple of minutes to finish the next article, during which he listened to the JD’s slow breathing, taking in the comfortable weight warming his side. The kid seemed to be falling asleep all over again but somehow Perry could tell he was wide awake and waiting. Finally tossing the magazine to the cabinet next to his bed he looked back at the man by his side, who looked quite lost in thoughts, probably daydreaming. Or at least Perry hoped it was daydreaming. It was rather spontaneous of him to wind one arm around JD’s waist but he did so anyway. His fingers somehow found their way under the younger man’s sleeping t-shirt, simply resting against the warm skin. JD snapped back to reality in an instant, looking over to Perry and smiling weakly.

“Tired?” Doctor Cox asked, but JD only shook his head as he leaned in and closed the distance between them with a kiss.

It started slow, as always. The familiar pressure against his body as JD scooted even closer; the kid was such a glutton for comfort, really. A gentle nip on the lips caused Perry to open his mouth to him, silently allowing the other man to ravage his mouth. The hand he still kept on Newbie’s back moved, caressing the skin back and forth in attempt to take in as much of the lovely sensations as possible. Perry breathed slowly in between the kisses, the pleasurable feeling of laziness slowly taking over his body. There was something about kissing JD that made Doctor Cox calm down; all the possible anger, insults and snarky comments he usually had for the man as well as other ‘virtues’ of his charming personality seemed to disappear. He entwined the fingers of his free hand in the silky black hair as he allowed Newbie to nip at his lower lip for couple of moments before finally breaking the kiss and nuzzling the soft, scented neck of the younger man. He could smell the rich aroma of the blackberry shower gel* he liked to use and Perry couldn’t help but to grin as it filled his senses while he bit gently on the skin. He could hear JD’s breath hitch a little as he did so and the simple fact pleased him.

With JD nearly sprawled on his own body, his hand had easy access to the waistband of JD’s sleeping shorts and he intended to use that to his advantage. His fingers traced patterns on the skin at the small of his back for some time, then slipped under the elastic and just rested there, teasing the other man. JD whined in annoyance and this time Doctor Cox did chuckle out loud, earning himself a disapproving glare from the younger man.

“Damn tease.” JD huffed, his good hand slowly rubbing at the side of his lover’s chest.

“Ah, but it’s been a while, wasn’t it?” Perry answered smartly, his hand finally moving and firmly cupping the cheek of JD’s ass. “What about your ribs?”

“What ribs?”

Perry chuckled again, his other hand slipping under the waistband of shorts as well as he kissed JD again, feeling the other man respond to him eagerly. It seemed that they were both desperate for the touch that they had been deprived of for the last week.

Mindful of the still hurting hand, Perry slowly flipped them over until their roles reversed and it was JD who was now pined under him. As soon as the other man got comfortable and settled his hand on the pillow Doctor Cox attacked his mouth again. JD’s good hand ran through the thick curls of his hair, resting on the back of his neck, pulling in closer, like he could not get enough of the contact. When his mouth moved over to suck on his neck, just below his ear, JD couldn’t help but to whimper. During all that time they had been together Perry had memorized all the spots that made him squirm and moan and he was using the knowledge well.

Perry removed the younger man’s t-shirt, both taking extra care to move it over the splint and not pull on the injured fingers. Bending to kiss down his throat and later on to nuzzle down his chest, the older man ran his hand over his lover’s ribcage. JD was too thin; a week of strict hospital diet could do that to you and Perry frowned slightly at the ribs that stood out too much and slightly purple tint to his skin at few places where remains of bruises still lingered. Moving over to lick at one nipple he made JD gasped in surprise and his hand moved from Perry’s thick hair to grab on his bicep in attempt to still himself.

“Not fair” JD gasped out at the particularly strong lick and yanked on Perry’s shirt. “Take that off.”

Doctor Cox said nothing as he moved lower, placing small kisses along the line of his abdomen, taking in a second to dip his tongue in the shapely navel then smiled wickedly as he tugged JD’s shorts down.

The very first time they had been together JD was amazed that Perry’s behavior in bed was not really fitting the image he already had for him. He had always thought that just as he was this fearful Doctor Cox in work then he probably kept the same manners in private life. Part of this was true; Perry still could be an exceptional asshole when he wasn’t in right mood, often leaving JD confused about nature of their relationship. But if he had any doubts, the next night would always make them disappear. Something inside JD squeed in joy every time Perry gave him this special, warm look. His kisses were needy and demanding but given out in surprisingly gentle manner. Time he spent caressing all of the tender spots on his body was well paid, leaving JD positively breathless.

Still, Doctor Cox wasn’t the only one surprising his newfound lover in bed. It had always seemed to him that JD would be vocal during sex. Hell, he even once heard Elliot and the others talking something about him yelling stupid things during the climax. He had no idea what to really expect when he took Newbie to his bed. Much to his surprise, JD was loud but not in the obnoxious, blunt way. Quite the opposite, all of the moans that left his mouth, the soft whimpers, gasps and shuddering of his body... all of this left Doctor Cox craving to hear and experience more of it.

When he tugged the shorts off and slowly licked down the length of JD’s cock the younger man shivered and let out a tiny moan, steadying himself for what was about to come soon enough.

And there it was, the comforting warmth wrapped tightly around him, lips enclosing around the hard shaft and JD nearly lost it when his lover hummed lightly, pleased by his reaction. Fingers of one hand were closed around the base of his erection to keep him from coming too fast, while the other rested in the thick thatch of black curls. Teasing the other man would probably be too cruel after their separation, but Perry couldn’t really help himself from doing it at least a little. Running his tongue under the crown and down the vein earned him a desperate sob that finally pushed past JD’s lips.

This encounter wasn’t about to last long and they both knew it, so Perry put the teasing aside and simply bobbed his head up and down, slowly, keeping a steady rhythm but paired up with firm suction. He could vaguely hear JD mumbling something to himself, but it was just the gibberish he sometimes let out when loosing control. Perry would have smiled if his mouth wasn’t currently occupied, so instead he opted for running his hand over the tight abdomen, contracting lightly as JD struggled to keep himself from coming. He let the hard erection to slip out from his mouth, kissing the crown one last time. Looking over to JD he took his time to stare at the younger man, lips open, eyes dark and damn, he looked absolutely fuckable.

Discarding his clothes rather quickly Perry finally settled, sitting down on the bed and pulling the younger man to his lap. JD didn’t waste much time and attacked his lips again, warm tongue wrestling with his own, even as he used his good hand to reach out blindly and search through the drawer of the bed table, before grunting in satisfaction as he hit his target.

“Impatient, aren’t we?” Perry muttered against his mouth teasingly and JD merely grinned, handing him the small foil package and lube. Normally JD he would take his sweet time to tease Doctor Cox back and roll the condom on him himself, but he wasn’t really sure he was capable of doing so with his less coordinated hand. The thought bothered him for a moment, before the soft touch of hand sliding down his ass made him forget about his problems. Perry licked down the length of his collarbone, moving to Adam’s apple and then resting against the warm neck as his slicked fingers reached down and finally slipped them into the younger man. JD winced at the intrusion of two fingers at once but didn’t really complain, finding comfort in the small nips and kisses Doctor Cox was planting on his jaw and behind his ear.

“It’s been too long.” JD breathed down heavily, winding both arms around Perry’s neck, making sure to keep his right arm straightened out. The fingers inside him stretched and caressed and god , it was too much for someone who had been deprived of such pleasure for more then a week.

“I know.” Perry whispered back to him, fingers leaving his body for a brief moment only to return a moment later with third one, coated generously in lube, to make him writhe and moan again. “Patience, my young Padawan. You’re sore enough as it is, no need to make it worse.”

JD would have smirked at the Star Wars reference but he found himself unable to, too busy savoring all of the delicious sensations the older doctor was waking in him. It took another couple of minutes before Doctor Cox decided it was enough and soon JD found himself holding his breath in anticipation as his lover rolled on the condom and slicked himself some more, before guiding himself into his younger lover.

JD was still straddling the other’s lap and soon enough he was sinking slowly on the awaiting cock, willing away the slight burning sensation and focusing on the intense, sweet feeling of being stretched. He could hear Perry’s groan but the man refused to thrust up and bury himself completely into the willing body above him. Instead he allowed JD to set the pace, something that made the younger man smile. As he rested his full weight on Perry’s thighs and took him in as deep as he could, JD leaned into another kiss. It was a gentle caress of lips and tongue and JD could feel one of Perry’s hands winding around his waist, the other resting on his neck and pulling him closer.

Then he moved, slowly at first, the firm pressure of Perry’s hand around him helping his movements, until they rocked together in lazy rhythm. JD moaned again at the feeling of closeness that washed over him; their mouths still locked together, chests pressing against each other and JD’s painfully hard cock trapped between them, rubbing against Perry’s firm abs. It was perfect .

Doctor Cox growled something in a low voice, the kiss finally breaking when their lungs demanded air. He still kept his hand clasped around Newbie’s neck so their faces were close, foreheads touching as JD moved above him, each of the thrusts rewarded with delicious feeling of tightness and burning warmth that he slowly became addicted to. JD whimpered, eyes closing shut for a second as he shivered; Perry could tell from the way he constricted around him that he had brushed against his prostate, sending a wave of pleasure up his spine. Mindful of the sore ribs, Perry brought them a little closer together, almost feeling JD’s heartbeat as his heart thumped wildly in his chest. Then he reached down, fingers wrapping around Newbie’s cock, stroking it as they moved. The soft panting against his mouth and nervous twitching of the hips told him without words that JD was close, his movements begging for more. Perry’s fingers teased him for a moment longer, then closed firmly against the sensitive shaft and jerked hard a few times, triggering the younger man’s orgasm.

JD nearly screamed when he found his release so suddenly, his good arm tightening around Perry as he buried his face in the crook of older man’s neck. He could swear he stopped breathing for a moment as the aftershocks shook his frame and he kept on moaning softly, riding the remains of his orgasm. Doctor Cox slowed down, but never stopped thrusting into him. JD was a little oversensitive right then, almost to the point of hurting, but he smiled tiredly as he kissed up Perry’s neck, shifting his hips a bit faster, to help his lover finish. He knew he succeeded when the other man inhaled sharply and let out a loud groan, hips thrusting up a few more times as he emptied himself and then stilled, with JD still locked tightly in his embrace.

“Oh god, I missed this.” JD gasped out as he rested his head on Perry’s arm and waited for his breath to calm down. Perry’s hand was tracing small patterns on the small of his back and he only grunted something in response, head moving to nuzzle against younger man’s cheek and plant few soft kisses there, along the side of his face and even over the black stitches on his temple. He could feel himself slipping out of the relaxed body above his and nearly hissed at the sudden feeling of cold.

Leaning back to lay down on the bed he brought JD with him, slowly, to give him time to adjust his right hand and support it on the pillows on the other side of Perry’s face. He discarded the condom to waste basket by his bed he reached for the blankets to cover them up. JD shifted a bit to kiss him again, then rest his head on Doctor Cox’s shoulders, for the second time that night sleep taking him over almost instantly.

------

When Perry awoke later that night with quite annoying need to use a bathroom he was surprised to find the bed empty. The spot where JD should be lying was cold, which meant he had been gone for quite some time. Doctor Cox frowned, trying to will away the remains of his sleep, wondering what the hell was going on.

He raised himself from bed, switching the light on and grabbing his boxers along the way. Still half asleep he nearly tripped over when pulling them on and only jumping comically on one foot prevented him from hitting the floor face first. Growling in annoyance he glanced towards the living room and kitchen, finding them empty and dark. There was no light under the bathroom door either, so where the hell was Newbie? Frowning, he decided to take a leak first and then worry, otherwise later on things might get messy.

As he opened the bathroom door and flipped the light switch on, a pained yelp surprised him.

“Turn that off!”

He automatically did, even before he realized what he was doing. Darkness flooded the room again, only faintly lit by the bed lamp in the bedroom. In the corner he could see JD’s form slumped on the floor, resting his arm on the toilet seat and looking positively sick.

“The hell?” Perry muttered, frown still in place as he padded barefoot across the bathroom, sitting down on the edge of the bathtub. Casting a glance over JD’s body he realized that the kid was clad only in his sleeping shorts and currently resting on the cold floor tiles, which probably wasn’t good for him.

JD did not reply as another wave of nausea hit him and he turned his head away, retching into the toilet. It would be better if he had actually eaten something before but it was too late now, his empty stomach causing him to vomit only spit and bile. It took him a couple of minutes to calm the spasm down enough to lean his head on his left arm again, trying to curl more into himself.

“Nausea and light sensitivity. What else?” The doctor in Perry took over as he touched JD’s forehead briefly, before the younger man shook him off. “Fever as well. What am I missing?”

“Killer headache.” JD mumbled, his words little disfigured as he kept his face hidden in the crook of his elbow. “It’s a leftover from concussion, I know. I’m a doctor myself, as I recall.”

“Bitchy as well. Should I add growing a pair as a symptom?”

He only got a groan in return and he gave up, simply sitting there in the dark and silence, waiting for the tremors that shook JD’s body to calm down.

“How is your hand?” Perry finally asked, resting his hand on the back of younger doctor’s neck after another unsuccessful attempt to throw up. This time JD did not shake his hand off, apparently finding some kind of comfort in it.

“No change. Hurts.” JD laughed weakly, sounding a bit hysteric. “I think I am starting to get used to pain. Too bad it’s a hand, not my leg. I could use a cane then like House.”

Perry scowled.

“You’ve been watching too much television lately, Samantha.”

But JD did not retort, only shook his head silently and then went still, breathing heavily against the cool ceramic.

“I just wish for one day without something being wrong with me.” He finally peeled himself away from the toilet and leaned against the wall opposite to it, cold tiles bringing comfort to his heated skin. “One day when nothing hurts, just for a change.”

Perry had no answer for that. He rubbed a hand over his tired face and then shook his head as well. JD had not expected him to solve his problem but his shoulders slumped a bit either way. When the older doctor ran his fingers through the mass of his black hair JD leaned into the touch, slowly scooting closer until he could rest his head against Perry’s lower thigh.

This was going to be harder then he thought.

* Anyone is familiar with Yves Rocher 'Blackberry Shower Gel' brand? That scent is divine and it was the first thing that popped in my mind while writing that sentence. JD would SO dig the fruity shower gels.
