My headache has finally faded to a low dull ache from it's pounding nature dragging my more or less well self into work today after calling in sick the last two days. I know they're short staffed enough as it is with JD out of commission and a gimped Barbie. They don't need me going MIA as well. And besides the headache, I was managing just fine. At least JD had been around most of the day to get his cast removed and a
CAM boot put on so he could hobble around without the wheelchair. He was getting damn good at wheeling around though. Now he'll have to adjust to a cane and a limp. I swear to god if the House impressions start already...
Taking a break from my own patients, I duck off to the exam room that I'm fairly certain JD is still residing in. Everything was healing up well but he head undergone a number of test and x-rays to be sure. Not to mention fitting the boot on him. But things were bound to be wrapping up for him by now, and since he rode in with me this morning, I'm not entirely certain what his plan is for the remainder of my shift.
I shove the door the exam room, not bothering to give it a knock, and pause one foot inside. The hell? I narrow my gaze on JD sitting shirtless on the exam table with Keith running fingers almost delicately along his sides. Before the jealous flare in me can issue a barking command, Keith pauses in his touches to concentrate on one of JD's ribs. Okay, calm down Per, he's just... visually checking on JD's broken ribs? I bite my tongue as I cross the room to JD, shooting Keith with a dark look, as I find myself compelled to kiss JD in front of him. As if to claim JD as mine in front of Keith. Oh be more insecure, Per. "How's it going?" I address JD after the kiss finally breaks.
