for Logan

[more_flexible]

Jack was cold. He snuggled deeper under the covers and pressed closer to Logan, but it didn't help. His head ached and his mouth was dry so he sat up to get a drink. He was surprised by the fact that his nose was so clogged he couldn't breathe and his chest was tight. He coughed and pulled the covers up around him, unwilling to get out of bed.

"Logan," he said, pitifully congested. "Logan, I don't feel good."

He couldn't recall the last time he'd been sick. Not since he was young, that was for certain. The Time Agency had pumped him so full of vaccines and things that getting sick simply didn't happen. Ever.

"I could teach you how to play. It's a good way to pass time," Jack agreed. Just thinking about the effort it took to think about the game made his head ache, though.

"We're going to have to come up with some other things to do, too. With the club closed and no diving or surfing...I'm going to get bored," he said.

"You don't think i can keep you entertained?" Logan asked, sounding more than a little insulted. "I can entertain, alright? I'm damn entertaining."

"Oh, yeah?" he grinned, turning his head to face Logan. He still looked tired, but not even a cold could take the sparkle from his eyes.

"So, entertain me."

Logan quirked a brow, and then moved his hand higher up Jack's leg, groping him lazily.

Jack purred and spread his legs a little. The sound rumbled through his chest and he relaxed against the other man. But then a cough had him sitting back up.

"Shit," he cursed, rubbing his chest. "Maybe some other sort of entertainment..."

"You're no fun," Logan protested, sniffing again and slouching in his seat.

"What do you want to do then?"

He gave a noncommittal grunt along with a shrug and settled back into place.

"Just this, I guess," he replied. "I like doing this. Just being with you. We don't even have to do anything and I'm happy. We can play chess if you want...I just don't want to move yet. You feel good."

"Alright, we wont move, we can stay here," Logan agreed softly.

"I like how you take care of me," he admitted softly. Logan might not think it was much, but simply having someone with him, staying close and touching him...it helped. It helped in more ways than he could count.

Jack squirmed a little and worked his way under Logan's arm, resting his head on the man's chest. It was backward from how they normally laid, and yet right now, to Jack, it felt right.

Logan stroked Jack's hair gently. "Get some rest, Jack. You need to sleep. Tomorrow you might feel better."

He tangled his fingers in the shot strands, toying with them and gently scratching Jack's scalp.

In front of the fire, against Logan, and with the other man's fingers in his hair. Jack didn't stand a chance. He didn't protest a bit- He closed his eyes and drifted into light and fitful sleep. Sick or not, there was nowhere else he'd rather have been.
