for logan

[more_flexible]

His hut was complete and his shit was moved in. It was twice the size of his old hut, except that more than half of it was open. He had hung a hammock and slept in it sometimes. Tosh had helped him wire the place, so he had electric lights inside and out. The interior wasn't much bigger than his old hut--in fact, it was a bit smaller. He'd never been fond of great big rooms when it came to his quarters and here was no different. The inside was just a bedroom where he and Dulcita had settled in and already made the place feel like home.

The kitten was asleep on the bed and Jack was at the table outside the door. He'd promised to make a necklace, which meant piercing the pearls to make them into beads. It was tedious and time consuming, but he didn't mind. The woman it was for would definitely like it, if he had any say in the project.

Logan was still a bit buzzed from Halloween, though the joy and sugar rush was giving way to memories of the Halloween they'd lived through the year before. Sleep was rare and nightmares were frequent, and he was fairly sure that the only thing keeping him awake was the candy.

Still, it was easy enough to pretend things were fine, a chocolate flavoured lolly in his mouth and his hands deep in his pockets as he approached Jack's hut. Nodding a hello, he slipped one hand out of his pocket and pulled the sucker from between his lips as he headed up the steps to stand on the porch.

"Looks good," he said, glancing around and eventually sitting down near the other man.

"Thanks," he replied, not taking his eyes off the pearl he was working the drill through with his fingers. It was almost a whole minute before he looked up and smiled at the guy, obviously pleased to see him.

"You get that yesterday? I've got a ton inside by the bed."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Yeah? I've got a ton, man. I did nearly the whole island," Logan snorted, rolling his eyes at himself and shaking his head. "Except now I have all this candy, and I can't stop eating it. I'm pretty sure it's all I've eaten since Halloween."

He took a moment to look Jack over, openly admiring the other man before turning his attention to the pearls and the tools. "What's all this?" he asked curiously.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"I did the whole island, too," he smirked. He made it sound sound filthy, mostly so he wouldn't have to talk about how he'd attached himself to the Doctor and refused to let go. Or how he and Ianto had been more of a handful than Tosh and Charlie had deserved.

"I'm making Vala a birthday present. Well, I'm making it so Daniel can give it to her. He's making me some furniture for out here in exchange."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah? Bet she looks good in pearls," Logan smirked, his tone making it clear that he was picturing her in the pearls and very little else.

Shaking off the thought, Logan returned his attention to the lolly, cracking what was left with his teeth. He'd never had the patience to suck until the end, always cracking the moment it was small enough to break off the stick.

finishing the candy, he shoved the stick into his pocket and yawned, stretching his arms over his head and cracking his back as he plucked one of the pearls from the table for a closer look. "So other than jewelry making and trading goods, what have you been up to?"

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"Not much," Jack replied with a shrug. "Now that this place is done, I guess I need to find a new project. The girl in my bed isn't all that time consuming." He nodded toward the door, inviting Logan to look inside with just that small gesture.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Logan quirked a brow and leaned back slightly to peek inside, laughing softly when he spotted the small kitten on the bed. Without any further invitation he wandered inside and sat down gingerly on the bed, smiling as he reached out to touch the ball of fluff.

"She's cute," he called out. "Better looking than most of your bedmates," he teased.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"She's just as noisy, though," he chuckled from the doorway. "Her name's Dulcita. Bagoas gave her to me now that Puta's litter is old enough."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Logan snorted, scratching her gently between the ears and under her chin before smoothing his hand over her fur.

"Didn't realize you were a fan of keeping pets."

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"She's my first. I mean, there was Fucker...er, Padfoot. But he's House's." Dulcita decided that Logan wasn't paying nearly enough attention to her so she got up and climbed into his lap.

"She likes you."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well, she doesn't know any better, can't hold that against her," Logan grinned, lifting the kitten as he flopped onto his back. He held her like that for a moment, and then carefully put her down on his chest as he looked up at Jack.

"Guess the company must be nice," he said, knowing that half the enjoyment of having Linus around was the company.

Reaching out, he gestured for Jack to join him on the bed, every movement lazy and laid back. It had been a few days since the last time he'd seen Jack, and half the reason he'd stopped by was to simply be near the other man. As if trying to curb some sort of strange withdrawal.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

Jack accepted the invitation and sat next to him. He plucked the kitten away and deposited her on the floor so that he could lean in and kiss Logan slowly.

As if he'd do anything else when he had him laid back on his bed, especially since it had been a few days.

"Company's nice," he agreed, although it was unclear if he was really talking about the kitten.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Logan returned the kiss with a content sigh, reaching out and running his hand lightly down Jack's arm.

"Some company's better than others though," he smirked, stretching again and then sitting up slightly as his fingers toyed with the fabric of Jack's shirt. He leaned in and sat up even more as he tilted his chin up and pressed a light kiss to the other man's jaw, nuzzling soft skin with a soft laugh.

A moment later and he was pulling away again, flopping onto his back as he blinked up at Jack's roof. "This place is pretty big."

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"It's exactly what I wanted. Big enough inside to hold my shit, small enough that it's comfortable. And the covered area out there is nice. I'm going to put up my hammock," Jack said, the words deceptively mundane compared to the smoldering look in his eyes.

When Logan returned to the mattress, Jack followed him down so he could brush his lips against the guy's cheek on his way to whisper in his ear. "Did I mention I missed seeing you?"

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Yeah?" Logan asked, quirking a brow and smirking again as he closed his eyes for a moment. "I might have missed you too. ...Maybe."

Turning his head slightly he caught Jack's lips with his own once again, every touch making it clear that there was no 'maybe' about it. Fingers slipping under the other man's shirt, he let his nails drag softly over the other man's toned torso, his head ducking a little as he scraped his teeth over the tender skin of Jack's throat.

"It's strange," he said, his words whispered against skin as he let his lips brush against Jack's neck and jaw. "there was a time where I hated seeing you. Just catching a glimpse made me so fucking angry. And now, now it's like I need to see you sometimes. Like I itch for it. Like I ache for it. Even if it's just a glimpse or you just give me a nod..."

There was nothing romantic in his words though, not really. It was more like listening to an addict confess to needing a hit, his nails digging into flesh again as he let his words trail off and sucked gently on Jack's throat instead.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

Jack groaned and melted against him. He had no problem with the tone of Logan's confession. In truth, it shot right through him, twisting something dark and deep. Not only to be needed like that, but for Logan to admit it...

This had definitely passed anything that could wear a label of any kind.

"You know you can come around any--" he started, only to be interrupted by the kitten squalling at his ankle. Jack sighed softly in frustration as he pulled away.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

The moment was broken and Logan laughed, tipping his head back as the sound echoed off the walls.

"Better go take care of your baby, Jack," he snickered, sitting up to get a better look at the ball of fluff as it begged for Jack's attention.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

He sat up and snorted, then promptly pulled off his shirt. Winding it around his hand, he set ot on the floor, picked Dulcita up, and set her in the center. It was only a couple minutes before she settled into it and purred loudly. her tail curled around and her paw over her nose.

"Sorry," he grinned when he twisted to look at Logan once again. "Now...where were we?"

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Logan didn't bother with an answer at first, watching the kitten for a moment as she settled into her new bed. He leaned in close to Jack again, kissing his way up the other man's arm with a soft moan. Every now and then he would pause to nip and bite, his fingers trailing over the newly exposed skin of the other man's chest.

"There was kissing, and an open invitation to come around... We were pretty much there," he said, nipping one more time before pulling away.

"Then you went and got all domestic, and I suddenly felt less inclined to get naked," he teased, leaning back and flashing the other man a look that was nearly a dare.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yeah?" he smirked, cocking his head to the side. "Guess I'll have to change your mind about that."

He turned more and pulled his legs up so he could straddle Logan's thigh. His knee rested between the guy's legs, flush against his crotch, just tight enough to create friction. Jack curled over him, coaxing the hem of Logan's shirt higher and kissing a line along his ribs as soon as they were exposed.

"You don't like me doing domestic?" he asked, mostly amused because he and the Doctor had many discussions about domesticity.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Helping Jack drag his shirt up higher, Logan tugged it up and off over his head, letting it drop to the floor with a sigh. His own hands reached out to touch all the skin they could find, tracing over Jack's chest and stomach as he shifted slightly forward in an attempt to rub up lightly against the other man.

"I wouldn't list it as one of my turn-ons," Logan replied with a laugh, this one a little more breathless than the last.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"Guess I'll have to keep it to myself, then," he chuckled against Logan's skin. He took full advantage of the lack of a shirt, pressing skin to skin as he braced himself over Logan so he could kiss him once again.

"You know," he said softly, "You make it hard to wanna stay dressed."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"And yet you still have pants on," Logan tutted playfully, his fingers hooking in the waistband of the other man's trousers, tugging and then moving to unfasten them. "Obviously I'm not trying hard enough today."

Still, his movements were slow, nothing about it too rushed or over eager. Logan savored these moments as much as he did the sensation of skin against skin that would come later. Somewhere between getting in and getting off, there was a comfortable sort of companionship, something that neither of them had found a word for yet. Along with it came easy banter and intimate touches that Logan tended to treasure more than even their filthiest encounters, content to let it linger as they talked about nothing or everything, depending on the mood.

Kissing Jack again, he laughed as he let his nails drag softly over skin once more, poking and prodding the other man before finally dragging him closer again.

"Tell me one of your stupid stories," he demanded softly, turning his head so his lips were right against Jack's ear.

[captainjack.livejournal.com]

"One of my stupid stories?" he repeated, squirming to get closer. With Logan's lips so close and the feeling of his breath against his skin, it made it a little tough to call up any anecdote at all.

"Okay, um...once, when I was fresh out of training, I was with my squad. I was...seventeen," he began, then forced himself to drop off and roll onto his side next to Logan. "My squad leader was this woman. God, she had the best hair. Long and black. And she was tough. I think, after a couple missions, I was making up reasons to get called to quarters."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Yeah?" Logan asked, laying where he was for a moment and then rolling onto his side to watch Jack as he spoke. His hand ran up the other man's thigh, feeling him through the fabric, and though he was still listening he found himself unable to stay still. His fingers itched to peel of the rest of Jack's clothes, and he moved slowly to straddle the other man's thighs, contenting himself for the time being by settling on his lap and tracing patterns across his chest with the tips of his fingers.

"You got some kind of fetish for authority?" he teased.
