for tosh

Tuesday night

Jack had packed up dinner and grabbed a pair of pajama bottoms...just to be nice. It never looked good if you walked in like you expected something. He could hear her inside with Jackson, so he knocked quietly and waited. He'd actually been looking forward to tonight since he'd agreed to it. Looking forward to it a lot.

Not that he'd made any huge plans. Other than not telling anyone about it...Daniel knew he had a date, but that was it. He never said who with, or why. Because it was Tosh...and it was...

Special.

Jack's lips curved into a familiar smile, lost on her but for the sensation of it against her back.

"Okay," he agreed, holding her a little tighter. That she didn't want to talk was at least better than pretending everything was fine. He could accept that; hell, he knew the response better than most.

Another time maybe, she'd be ready to talk about. THen again, maybe not. Right now all she wanted was the comfort and the rest. To have someone there and to not think about things too much.

She'd always been better at pushing things away than dealing with them. Burying herself in work. "Thank you."

"Don't mention it," he replied softly, arm around her and fingertips drawing lightly along her forearm. He slowed his breathing and simply held her close. He was nothing if not adaptive, and this...this was actually easier than talking. This was something he couldn't mess up.
