[for rob]

[more_flexible]

Jack had gone to check in on Ace, see if she was ready to join him or if she wanted a few more days to heal. Either way, he wanted to make it clear he hadn't just left her. When he came out of her room, he paused for a second, then walked to Rob's door, knocking lightly. He didn't even know if he'd be in there, but it was worth a shot.

"Rob? It's Jack. Feel free to tell me to go away."

[Dated Friday night, March 31...kicking off Genderswitch]

Chase glanced up from reading his book about new procedures involving the stomach, confused about why Jack would be there. He made his way to the door, opening it and heavily leaning on it, genuinely surprised to see Jack. "Hey," he said. "It's good to see you in one piece."

He grinned a little, surprised Rob didn't seem more...pissed off. "Uh, yeah. Thanks. Um, I was just checking on Ace, and it's Friday...can I come in? I mean, if you don't want..."

God, this was hard.

[dr_robchase]

Friday, right. Their night, and Chase stepped back from the door before he'd even said anything, knowing that he'd accepted without a word yet. "Yeah, no, come in," he invited quietly, offering the barest of smiles.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"Oh, okay," he replied contritely, stepping inside. "How are you? I've been...yeah. Gone."

[dr_robchase]

Chase closed the door, running a hand through his hair as he offered a sympathetic smile. "I just know I was pushed out of the treehouse, then I've been in the dark for a lot of days," he said in a deadpan, limping lightly to the bed. "Wanna sit? Talk?"

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

Jack sighed softly and nodded. "Yeah. Yeah, that would be good, actually. You were pushed out? What?"

[dr_robchase]

"The Doctor," Chase explained with a wry smirk as he sat down on the edge of his bed, shifting until his back was against the nearest wall. "He grabbed me by one hand, Ace by the other and forcibly dragged us out."

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"Oh...right," he said, ducking his head. "I think he expected there to be some sort of explosion."

It might have been easier if there had been.

"Greg and I split up because I'm a fucking idiot."

[dr_robchase]

Chase patted the bed beside him, like they were girls gossipping or something and he smirked. "I don't believe that. I know House. I worked for him for three years. He's an idiot too."

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

He smiled, just barely, and joined Rob. "Okay. Maybe. But I'm the one who fucked up on Saturday. Anyway...that's a week ago and time keeps moving."

[dr_robchase]

"Funny, that," Chase said, looking at Jack with a bit of a sympathetic look, reaching over to ruffle Jack's hair, like he was a kid or something. "So, what do you want to talk to Therapist Rob about?"

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"I think I'm about talked out," he said lightly. "But you...do you think I'm selfish? Honestly."

[dr_robchase]

Chase shook his head. "Sorry, Jack," he offered. "I dealt with selfish all my life." He'd only started to realize now as a grown man that what his parents had been doing was selfish as all fuck. "You don't really approach, in my eyes," he said, with a bare smile as he pushed Jack down onto the bed lightly, grabbing the sheet.

[dr_robchase]

Chase groaned as the morning came on way too fast, after a ton of dreams about little toy soldiers marching on Toyland and as the Doctor as the dictator with a candy cane sceptre. A groan later and Chase burrowed his head into the pillow, curling into the warm arms surrounding him.

"Jack," he mumbled, the words muffled against the pillow. "What time s'it?"

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"Morning," he mumbled against Rob's shoulder as he squeezed a little tighter and pulled himself closer for warmth. "Shut off the water."

[dr_robchase]

Chase furrowed his brow, shifting a little to peer at Jack and when Chase opened his eyes, the first thing he saw were breasts and he went a little speechless. "Uh..." he stammered.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"Shh," he replied, his eyes fluttering open to see blonde hair that was definitely longer than Rob's. He pulled away and sat up, eyes flying open as he gaped.

"Jane! What..."

[dr_robchase]

"What?" Chase asked, sitting up and gaping at Jack. "What do you mean...?" Oh crap. Oh, no, no, no. Chase pushed to his feet and made for the mirror, peering at the little reflection in the tiny square, cocking his head to one side as he realized. "Oh, crap," Chase added, wrinkling up her nose.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

Jane didn't talk like that. Ever. Jack just sat there, staring for a minute before he noticed his owh arm. His slender arm. And delicate shoulder. And...

"Oh, fuck no."

[dr_robchase]

Chase turned, crossing her arms under the new rack (okay, had been a year since he'd seen those on his own person) and offered a very Chase-like smirk. "Oh, no?" she echoed. "Jack, you're gorgeous and you have a great rack," she offered, before crawling back under the covers, intending to sleep in a little more. "Things could be far, far worse, hot stuff," she mocked playfully.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

Jack flopped onto his back, wincing a little at the force with which his brand new breasts bounced a little. "I was just a eunuch. And now I'm a woman. Hot or not, this isn't what i need right now," she sighed as she looked at the ceiling for a minute before turning to look at Rob. "You've got great legs," she offered, smiling a little.

Okay...it wasn't all bad.

[dr_robchase]

Chase gave a bit of a laugh, surprised at the high-pitched, but leaned over and rested her chin on Jack's narrow shoulder. "And the Jane-thing doesn't freak you out?" she asked, mumbling the words. "Because I'm not going to wear a lot of Regency dresses if that's what you're worried about."

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"Your word choice alone killed that for me. Jane's hot, modern twin sister maybe," she replied, skimming a hand down Rob's arm. "What about me? Do I look like anyone here?"

[dr_robchase]

Hot modern-twin sister. Yeah, Chase could live with that. She eased back, picking at the t-shirt and trying to get it from being too small and riding up to reveal a really small stomach and waist (and if this was how tiny Jane was, he was going to go have a talk about her gaining about thirty pounds for the kid) and studied Jack.

"Not that I know of," she summed up. "Just hot."

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

She smiled, and even as a woman, it was the same dazzling smile Jack always had when he genuinely tried. "How hot?" she asked softly, her hand creeping up Rob's stomach.
