for Jack

[echolls_cursed]

(from here)

Logan started to run the shower, stripping down and piling his clothes up in the corner. He waited until the water was just right, then stepped under the spray, expecting Jack to come and find him when he was ready.

It felt good, and he leaned casually against the tile as water spilled over him.

Jack snorted softly and rubbed his cheek where Logan's hand print stung, then he focused on washing up. When he'd scrubbed his whole body and washed his hair he was surprised by how much better he felt. He groaned as he rinsed one more time and then followed after Logan.

He wrapped a towel around his waist, moved up behind Logan, and started kissing his neck and shoulders.

"You make it so hard to stop," he said softly. "But I want to take my time...and prove I do have a little patience."

Logan snorted at that, but relaxed as he leaned lightly against Jack.

"Whatever you say, man. Let's just head home," the younger man suggested, though he made no move to pull away just yet.

Jack purred softly and enjoyed the feel of Logan's body for just another moment before he pulled away to get dressed. The clothes didn't fit at all and made him look totally unlike himself. He scowled at them, his vanity making it hard to accept looking like this.

"Let's swing through the kitchen. I want something not seafood. Then we can go home."

"Mmmm, fine, I'm not that hungry though," Logan replied, patting himself dry and pulling on his clothes.

The only thing he wanted was Jack.

"We'll get it to go," he promised. The way the clothes fit made him look like he was slouching along, rather than the regular upright posture and squared shoulders. He looked like...kind of like Logan used to- and still did at times.

He went into the kitchen and didn't actually stop. He picked up some muffins, a bit of cheese and the end of a loaf of bread as he passed through. Just what he could carry.

"Open the door for me? My hands are full," he said, shooting Logan a hungry look.

Logan grinned, holding open the door and laughing a little as Jack walked past.

"You look really weird in that shit, man. Is that really the best the box had to offer this morning?" he asked.

"It was this or black leather shorts and a leather harness and that is so last season," Jack replied. "What, you don't like me in this? It doesn't make me look ten years younger?"

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"It makes you look like you're having a mid-life crises," Logan replied with a smirk, deliberately being a little cheeky.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"Maybe I am," Jack shot back, then stuck his tongue out childishly at Logan as he tried to saunter. In order to keep his pants on he kind of had to slouch and it ruined the illusion.

Logan simply laughed, tagging along at Jack's side as they made their way home.

"You look hilarious," he continued. "I wish I had a camera. I could blackmail you next time you're strutting around in uniform."

"You're just making me want to get undressed as fast as I can once we're home," he replied. It was hard to tell if Logan's teasing was actually getting to him or if it was an innuendo.

"What can I say? I like you naked," Logan grinned, wandering along and taking some of the food from Jack to lighten his load.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

Jack juggled the last of what he had into one hand and wrapped his free arm around Logan.

"How did you ever get used to wearing loose pants like this?" he asked. He'd worn a lot of different clothes but this just felt strange. He had more than one reason to want to get to the Hamlet quickly and get out of them.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"I had to," Logan shrugged. "Tight clothes were painful. They clung in all the wrong places when I was sore."

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

And as quick as that, all the things Jack pushed to the back of his mind about Logan came rushing back. All it took was one little off-hand comment and Jack's stomach knotted up.

He was glad when the path opened to the Hamlet and their hut was in view.

"Maybe I should start wearing them every time you take that paddle to me," he said, forcing himself to sound casual.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"That's not funny," Logan replied simply, making his way to the hut and heading inside.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

Jack followed after, laid the food on the table, and immediately began to strip. He did it slowly- too slowly to simply be getting undressed. He was doing it to torment Logan.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Except Logan wasn't watching, not after Jack's joke, and he sat down at the table as he started to pick at some of the food.

"We should cut some wood today," he said finally, scowling a little as he picked at a muffin.

Some might have said the younger man was sulking ...And they'd have probably been right.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

Jack groaned in disgust.

"Really? I don't get a little break from work? I worked hard to get those pearls and now you want to cut wood?"

He walked up behind Logan and laid his hands on his husband's shoulders. His skin was warm and he smelled significantly better than he had before.

"I don't want to work. I want you."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Then maybe you shouldn't be a dick, Jack," Logan replied simply, brushing Jack's hands away and turning in his seat to look at the other man.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"I wasn't being..." he started, then realized that even if he hadn't meant it that way, it was kind of a dick thing to say.

"Sorry," he said softly, then headed for the bedroom so he could find something to wear so he could cut wood. He'd fucked up the moment and didn't figure he was easily going to win Logan's interest again that soon.

Logan lingered in the kitchen, and then sighed as he headed into the bedroom, leaning against the wall.

"Sorry," he said after a moment. "That was bitchy of me."

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"No, I was out of line," Jack replied, looking at Logan from where he was picking between jeans or shorts to work in.

"I'm sorry. Really. I...never thought about why you'd wear your clothes loose. I didn't mean to, you know, be an ass."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Logan shrugged, raising one shoulder. "It's not a big deal. It was a long time ago."

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

He settled on the jeans and draped them over his arm as he walked to where Logan stood.

"I'm still sorry," he said, then leaned in to kiss Logan's cheek. "One more thing I need to work on...not being a dick to my husband."

He nuzzled Logan's cheek and moved to his neck.

"I love you, you know."
