Name Tags

Elliot strolled down the hall, her charts held tightly in her grasp as she hummed to herself. She made her way over to the nurse's station, where a distracted Carla currently sat, fiddling with her pencil she was currently gnawing on as her eyes scanned her computer.

"Hey, Carla." Elliot smiled as she placed her charts down onto the counter.

"Hey, Elliot..." Carla muttered rather distractedly before finally glancing back up from the computer screen. "Hey, did J.D stay over at your place yesterday?" Carla raised an eyebrow."J.D?" Elliot furrowed her brows as she looked at the Latino nurse, cocking her head. "No, why?"

"Well, he didn't come home last night." Carla let out a sigh as she shook her head. "And you know how Turk worries." Though it was pretty obvious that Turk wasn't the only one worrying.

"Oh..." Elliot's eyes went wide before she leaned in, her eyes nervously glancing around as if she were about to give out some government secret. "Do you think he found himself a new trick? I mean he's kinda a third wheel when it comes to you and Turk, and since me and Keith are now going out-"

"What's with all the gossip, Barbie?" A familiar voice caught Elliot off guard and the blonde suddenly straightened up. "Aren't you supposed to be checking on those, oh soo, dependent patients of yours? I mean reheheally, can't you go at least one hour without having to gossip about the latest- what?" Dr Cox furrowed his brows at both of them, since he had started going off on a rant Carla had rolled her eyes and went back to her computer, Barbie on the other hand had instantly been staring at his chest. Not that Dr Cox was ashamed of his ability to draw a woman's gaze to his body but because of the staring Carla had caught on and taken her away from her work to turn as well, now both females were in some kind of a staring fit. "What?" Dr cox snapped again, bringing up his thumb to strike against his nose before crossing his arms rather defensively.

Elliot finally peeled her eyes away from his chest, turning to give Dr Cox a confused look. "Have you happened to see J.D today?" She muttered.

"You mean Priscilla?" Dr Cox narrowed his eyes on the other. "No, I do not believe she's come to work yet." He muttered watching as both Carla and Elliot's faces broke out into large grins. "...Why?"

"Well, see ya, Carla." Elliot giggled winking at the nurse before turning on her heels and leaving, ignoring the others question.

Carla smiled back, letting out a small hmm in response as Elliot picked up her chart from the counter and hurried off down the hall, Dr cox turning to stare after her in wonder until her back disappeared around the corner.

This forced him to turn his attention back towards an exuberant Carla. "What is it?" He gave the woman a stern stare.

The grin only widened as she shook her head."Carla-"

"Perry!"

Dr Cox let out low growl of annoyance as he turned to find Kelso strolling towards him.

"Hell there, Bobbo." Dr Cox glared at the other. "What is so important that you need to seek me out before my morning coffee?"

Kelso opened his mouth as if to say something, but his eyes caught something on Perry's shirt and the older man faltered, a look of utter confusion falling over him as he looked back up at Dr Cox and then back down at the older man's name tag. "Well, that's strange." The chief of medicine mused. "I do believe that I am staring up at Dr Perry Cox, however..." Kelso reached over and pulled the name tag from the Doctor's white coat. "I seem to be staring at John Dorian's name tag..."

Dr Cox's face turned a small shade of red as his eyes widened.

And as if that unnamed God himself was shunning Perry today, that exact person choose that very moment to walk around the corner. Whistling to himself as he skipped down the hall, coming to a halt at the scene before him. "Hey...what's up?" J.D asked timidly, as if he had just walked into a room of tigers. He cocked his head to the side as Kelso turned to stare the younger doctor.

"Well..." Kelso held out the name tag towards J.D, who gave the small thing a questionable look. "...I believe this tag belongs to you."

"What?" J.D furrowed his brows as he shook his head. "But I have mine right-" J.D pulled at the name tag on his shirt and his eyes widened as his face turned scarlet red. He bit his bottom lip as he pulled the name tag from his shirt and took his own, Dr Cox snatching the other from J.D's outstretched hand, the male's head turning down like a scolded puppy.

It was silent for a moment. J.D keeping his head low as Kelso turned back to Dr Cox, however what it was the other had been going to say earlier had totally left his mind. Kelso stood there for a moment, finger raised and mouth open until he finally spoke. "I'll think of it later." And with that he pushed past Dr Cox, heading off down the hall. Dr Cox doing the same thing, however growling as he pushed past J.D and made it down the opposite hall.

J.D watched as both of them left before turning to look at Carla, the woman holding out a char to him as she gave him a smile. The young doctor didn't say a word as he turned and headed off to do his rounds, the scarlet color yet to leave his face.

No one happened to notice Lavern yammering on the telephone. "Yeah, yeah. You heard me, slept together..."

Author's note: I got the idea from reading a Nick/Greg fanfic were Greg wonders onto the scene with Nick's leather jacket XD. And since the author of it was Dr FooFoo, it made me staring thinking about Scrubs and it just all fell together XD.
