His Loving Issue

Summary: JD is having relationship problems and it all comes down to three little words. Established relationship. Coxian.

It was that time of year again. It was well after midnight and the annual Sacred Heart Charity Dance was in full swing, with everyone in attendance, well, almost everybody.

JD stood by the as good as empty corsage table. The two that were left behind were hand picked by a certain couple. JD stared at his forlornly, fiddling with the leaves.

Turk, who having been by his side all night, much to Carla's dismay, was talking his ear off. JD interrupted him for the thousandth time trying to convince him to go spend time with Carla, eventually, he took the hint.

As Turk walked off, grabbing Carla, and twirling her to the dance floor, he let a tear escape.

Dr. Cox had been doing this more and more lately. He always showed up late for their dates, and he was starting to get really pissed about it.

It wasn't like he showed up ten, twenty, or even thirty minutes late; it was always at least an hour. He was starting to doubt their relationship and where it was going.

If only he knew how Dr. Cox really felt about him.

JD's thoughts were interrupted by a flood of light, and a big smile lit his face when he saw who it was. He let the smile fade though as he watched him walk towards him.

All of the anger came raring back, so he grabbed his corsage, and made for the back door.

Dr. Cox followed closely behind him.

Turk made to follow but Carla held him back by saying that they needed to work it out themselves.

By the time Dr. Cox made it out the door, JD was already halfway down the hallway. He called out to him but JD didn't stop.

Dr. Cox called out to him again. "Aw, come on you big girl, I made it. What's wrong with you?"

JD stopped suddenly, and turned around slowly. "How dare you ask me that!"

"Why are you throwing a hissy fit?"

"Maybe it's because I stood there, like an idiot, for over two hours waiting on your ass! Maybe, it's because even though I was so pissed at you, the minute I saw your stupid face, I smiled. Just like that my anger towards you was gone, and I was feeling those all familiar butterflies. Maybe, it's because my heart still skips a beat at the sight of you!"

"Can you be any more of a girl?" Dr. Cox growled.

"And that is exactly the answer I would expect out of a cold hearted bastard like you."

"What do you want me to say Newbie?" Dr. Cox asked quietly.

"I want you to say that this relationship is not some kind of fling that you can just take advantage of!"

"What advantage! Dating you is worse than dating a girl!"

"Why don't you find a girl that will deal with all of your shit then, because I'm through!"

"Don't threaten me Newbie." Dr. Cox growled.

"I'm not threatening. I'm tired of being the only one in this relationship wanting it to work anymore. I'm tired of being in love with someone who doesn't even seem to give a damn about me!"

"I'm just done." JD whispered as he turned and walked away.

Dr. Cox gawked after him, being left speechless after his outburst.

His reply wasn't heard by his lover, who was already out the door. "I love you too JD."
