for logan

[continued from here]

The sting in his chest and the tightness that stole his breath completely vanished in the span of a heartbeat. Jack reached up and cradled Logan's face in both hands as he kissed him deeply. Words weren't enough. He wasnted to- needed to claim the other man and make sure there was no doubt about his feelings. There was no way he could even explain to himself why the thought of Logan being friends with Neil hurt. Maybe because he worried it would unravel everything they had. Maybe because he wished he and House could be 'okay'. Maybe simply because he had a subtle, pervasive notion that one day Logan would wake up and realize he didn't want to belong to Jack...or he didn't want Jack to cling so tightly. It was probably all that and more and without words, he went with what he knew. The kiss told Logan everything Jack had no words for.
