[ace, doctor, cuddy]

[more_flexible]

He'd talked to House. That was...what was today? He'd talked to House on Monday. That had to be days ago.

Jack was in his hut. He'd been there...days, maybe. He had some water, and he'd eaten something. Maybe a while ago, he couldn't remember.

Is this what it was to have a broken heart? Had he done this to people? Had he done this to people all over time and space?

Had he done this to people here?

Fuck it. Jack rolled over and pulled the sheet up over his face. If anyone needed him, they'd know where to find him or who to ask. It's not like he was going anywhere.



[dual duty because I'm lazy. this is for ace, cuddy and the doctor. he's still not talking, so I'm really sorry if these go short or die.]

"I always liked London...and Paris. Paris was great before the Nazis got there," Jack said, laying the razor aside and rinsing off.

"Yeah," the Doctor said, mind still wandering a little. He tugged it back. "Fred never got her bouillabasse."

"Too bad. There were some great bistros," he noted, stepping out of the stall and walking to the shelf at the end to get a towel. "And this one jazz club...God. Fantastic."

"We went to one. There was just a bit of a problem with spacetime before we could eat." The Doctor grinned at Jack, totally not looking at his arse. "You know how I love those clubs."

"Me too. I'm glad there's dances here..." he started, then remembered their dance at the ball and cut himself off. "Um...have you talked to Jane?" he asked as his mind leapt to a new topic.

"Yeah," the Doctor said. "Your party?" He'd thought for a while that it would be awkward, but at least this wasn't nearly as awkward as it could be.

"Yeah. She thought it was just horrible I don't have a birthday," he said as he wrapped the towel tightly around his waist before he turned around and walked back over to where the Doctor stood. "You coming?"

[sortofaman.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, of course," the Doctor said. "Rob is too, I believe, though you know how he is about parties."

"Yeah, I know. Tell him I promise not to be an asshole," he replied, moving to the mirror to check how well he'd shaved without looking. The whole time, he kept a tight hold on the towel.

The towel bit was odd, mostly because Jack had been romping about naked in his hut, but maybe it wasn't because of the Doctor, per se. "I will, but that's not his reservation. Just the group bit."

"I don't think it's going to be that big. Her and Stu. You and Rob. I don't know if House might come or not. A few others. I'm not exactly the most popular boy in school anymore," he said to his reflection, looking at the Doctor over his shoulder.

"I think it's the principle. But he'll be there, or I think Jane will kick him in the shins." The Doctor looked back at Mirror!Jack and thought. "You wanna get that coffee?"

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"Sure," he nodded, picking up his shorts and shaking them out. the towel fell and what he'd been trying desperately to hide was obvious for all of three seconds until he got them pulled into place and fastened.

On any other day, Jack was ready for a go at a moment's notice. Now he looked like every other man and that alone was enough for him to be worried. Nothing he'd done in the shower had had the least bit of influence either.

The Doctor was only slightly surprised (of course he'd caught it, he was nothing if not observant). But it wasn't...right for him to say anything, at least not directly. "You okay?" he asked, and his tone made it clear he wasn't asking about his frame of mind.

Jack looked up from buttoning up and smiled. "Sure. A hundred times better. Let's go eat."
