Work Text:
Jack sighed softly, as he got up. He looked around the area, and slowly got
to his feet. For some strange reason, the Techno's who he had been with,
let him go. Jack sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He was so confused
about everything. First, he had gotten taken by the Techno's, when he and
Ebony had gone to check things out. But what was even weirder, was that
Jack had been put on a work group, and he had been in charge of a bunch
of electronic things, like making sure the computers were run, making sure
that everything was always up to speed.
But the one time Jack had refused to work, he truly regretted it. Sighing, he
wondered what he was gonna do. He had a black eye, a busted lip, a bloody
nose, and he was positive that his ribs were broken. Trying not to laugh, Jack
remembered the scene that had happened before he had finally been released.
One of the guards, Jerry, stood over Jack, watching him, after having given Jack
the black eye, and busted lip. Next thing he did was to give Jack a bloody nose,
and as he fell to the ground, the guard began to kick him hard, and Jack felt like
he was in hell.
Pushing the memories aside, Jack slowly got to his feet. He began to waver back
and forth, before falling to the ground. Jack sighed softly. He wondered if this was
only the beginning, or if he was going to die out here. Not knowing what else to do,
Jack stayed on the ground, and let the darkness overtake him. Sometime later, he
was surprised, to find himself being shaken awake. However, when he slowly opens
his eyes, Jack wondered if he seriously, was in hell. He groaned and tried to sit up,
but the person just put a firm hand on his chest, and pushed him back down.
A little while later when he came to again, Jack tried to sit up again. Wait a
minute, again? I passed out again? "Where... Where am I?" He asked, realizing
that he was now inside somewhere, probably the person's house, and in their
room. The thought brought a shiver down his spine, and it was not a good one.
The person began to speak. "Don't worry Jack, you're fine. I'm gonna take care
of you..." The mystery person said. Jack was going crazy. He was in tremendous
pain, but he also didn't know who was taking care of him.
Deciding that the person couldn't be that bad, since they were helping him, he
asked, "Who are you, and how do you know me, and my name?" The other man
chuckled softly. "Jack, I'm... It's Luke..." He said softly, and waited for the other
man to blow up in anger. However, when nothing happened, Luke grew worried
that Jack had passed out again, so he quickly got up from the bed, and went to
turn on the light. He was surprised to find Jack laying there, a blank expression
on his face. "Jack, are you okay?" Luke asked, as he took a seat next to the
other man.
Jack didn't know what to say. He hadn't seen anyone he knew, in over a year,
and now, the first person he recognized, had to be Luke. Why me? Jack asked
himself silently. Luke, sensing a bad vibe, got up and started from the room.
However, as he reached the doorway, Luke paused, but didn't turn and look
at Jack. "You know, I could've let you die out there, but I didn't. So instead
of hating me, maybe you should be grateful that I saved your scrawny butt
from dying out there..." Luke said, and then he left the room.
Later on that night, Jack was feeling a little better. Luke had taken care of
him, better than anyone else probably could have, in today's type of world.
When the other man came into his room sometime later, carrying a tray of
food, Jack gratefully accepted it, with a smile. "How are you feeling?" Luke
asked, as he closed the door to his room, and took a seat on the edge of
the bed next to Jack. Jack thought for a minute. He felt pretty good right
now.
He wasn't in any pain, and this was the best he had felt in months. "I'm feeling
better, thanks. Look Luke, I don't know how I'll repay you. I'm grateful that you
saved me, saved my life," Jack said softly. Luke, unsure of what he should say,
spoke without thinking. "You could ah, never mind, it's too stupid," He said, and
started to get up from the bed. Even though Jack wasn't supposed to move, he
grabbed Luke's arm, which wasn't that hard to do, since the other man wasn't far
away from him.
He gently pulled Luke back to the bed, this time placing the other man right beside
him. "What is it?" Jack asked him softly. Luke turned red. He had never told anyone,
except Ellie, he was secretly gay. But now, for some reason, Luke felt like he could
tell Jack. "Well... You see I'm... I.. I'm gay..." Luke forced out. Jack smiled, as Luke
confessed that he was gay.
Since he had placed Luke right next to him, he was able to do what he wanted.
Jack pulled Luke to him, being careful of his injuries, and kissed the other man.
He ran his hands through Luke's blue hair. Jack was surprised when Luke moaned
softly, and he was even more surprised to find out that he liked this, all of this.
As they continued to kiss, Jack felt himself getting turned on, and he tried to
hide it, since he was afraid of what Luke would do or say.
As they continue to kiss, Jack suddenly got a weird feeling. He felt Luke's hands
roaming over his entire body. Then the other man gently traced over his scars,
and Jack felt himself shudder at how sweet it felt. However, when Luke pulled
out of the kiss seconds later, Jack wanted to protest. Luke stared at Jack, after
he pulls out of the kiss. He was turned on beyond belief, and felt like he wanted
to devour Jack here and now, and without another word he kissed Jack again.
He let his hands slowly trail down the other man's body. Jack grabbed Luke's hand,
when he felt it getting too low. "Not yet. I... I... I'm... I'm... I'm just not ready..."
He said softly, not wanting to say that he was scared. Luke nodded, and he just
went back to running his hands through Jack's hair. "Don't worry, there's no rush..."
Luke said softly, and then he kissed Jack, surprised when the other man opened
his mouth, inviting him in, and Luke French kissed him.
Luke loved the small moan that he heard come from the other man. As the passion
began to build up, Luke pulled away from Jack. He wasn't sure that Jack would be
able to handle being with another man just yet. So, they only made-out, for a little
while. Luke knew that Jack wanted more, but he also knew the other man wouldn't
be able to handle it. An hour later, Jack had fallen asleep, and Luke smiled gently.
He watched as the other man slept, looking so peaceful. Luke wondered if when
Jack awoke, how he was going to react to what had happened between them. I
mean, it wasn't like they had made love. But they had made-out many times, and
Luke was plenty sure, Jack didn't know if he wanted to really be with men, or if he
even knew what he wanted in general. A sigh escaped from him, and he lied down
next to Jack, wondering if this love of theirs was pure, just a one time thing, or if
Jack was experimenting with him.
A tear slid down his cheek, as thoughts of this only being an experiment, kept
running through his mind. If that was what all this was, Luke knew he wouldn't
be able to take it. Wiping away his own tear, he said softly, "Well, at least I can
imagine a good life for the two of us together, because I know when the morning
comes, Jack will go back to his straight self, and I'll never see him again. I guess
it's true what they say, there is no pure love..."
Luke said softly, and as another tear fell from down his cheek, he leaned over
and kissed Jack, before getting up and leaving the room, going into the living
room, and then lying down on his couch. He laid there crying for the rest of
the night, finally falling asleep in the early morning, only minutes before Jack
woke up, and left, for good.
The End.
