Jack

[logan_echolls]

Christmas was well in the past now, and Logan had settled into the new year. Things with Jack were- Well, they were as normal as he could hope, though things were still strange. There was no easy way to just get over learning some other him had lived some other life- With a man who was now his boss. Still, Logan had accepted that life was complicated, and he'd moved on as best as he could.

It was late now and most of the team had already left- But not Jack. Logan was certain the man never truly left work. Even when he said he was taking a night off, he was sure he was just working on something else. So after clicking off the lights in the record room he made his way to Jack's office, pushing open the unlocked door and leaning against the door frame.

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," he tutted. "Come on, we're going out," he decided.

'It feels perfect," he agreed before seeking Logan's lips again.

Logan arched against him, solid and warm as he pressed against the other man.

Jack explored every inch of bare skin with his fingers. So different. The body he remembered was so young. And now he was...well, he was a man. Someone new to get to know, even if they did have shared history.

"You smell the same," he said quietly.

[logan_echolls]

"I have to take your word for it," Logan said, his voice soft and low. "I don't really know myself that well."

He kissed Jack again, his erection pressed against the other man's hip, then moaned softly as he tutted cautiously against him.

He'd done this dance before, but it was obvious it wasn't something he'd done in a long while.

[im_torchwood]

"That...feels the same," he gasped, fingertips digging into Logan's plaint flesh. He moved against him in return, acutely aware of just how hard Logan was.

[logan_echolls]

Logan was glad they'd waited, that their vacation hadn't turned into this. It felt as if they'd earned this. Jack's suffering, Logan's uncertainty... It had all lead to this.

"It's been a while since I... With anyone, you know? I haven't been with anyone since I got here," he confessed.

[im_torchwood]

"We don't even have to do that if you don't want to," Jack said. "If you want to wait."

He didn't want to wait. Not for a second. He wanted to wrestle Logan down and have him. But he also wasn't a selfish ass.

[logan_echolls]

Logan was silent a long moment, clearly wanting to consider before acting. He needed to be sure of himself, for both their sales.

"I want to," he said finally. "I just need you to be aware of where I am."

[im_torchwood]

"Alright. Well, do you have any..." he asked, looking to the sides of the bed for anything like lube.

[logan_echolls]

"Shit," Logan said softly. Because he didn't. He'll, he didn't even have condoms.

[im_torchwood]

"It's okay. Its okay," he said, sneaking in to steal a kiss. "Just not tonight. We'll figure out details later. It's okay," Jack assured him.

[logan_echolls]

Logan pulled away though, wondering if this was a sign, and he sat up slightly as he rubbed his face.

"I need to piss," he said quietly, moving to get up.

[im_torchwood]

"Yeah, okay," Jack said. He watched him go, then flopped back onto his pillow and covered his eyes in frustration.

[logan_echolls]

Logan was gone a while, the shower running after a minute. When he emerged he was still damp from the spray.

"It's nearly five, I'm going to take my morning run. See yourself out whenever. I'll see you in the office at eight. I can have my report from the other day on your desk by nine."

[im_torchwood]

Jack waited til he heard the door close and he knew Logan was gone.

"Well, that was superb," he grumbled, getting up so he could dress and go and pretend this hadn't happened.

[logan_echolls]

Logan was on time that morning, because he was always on time, and he spent the first hour working working- Maybe being a bit colder than usual with their co-workers before eventually making his way to Jack's office.

Nine on the dot, report in hand.

He tapped on the door, but when it wasn't locked he headed right in, closing it behind him.

[im_torchwood]

Jack was sitting at his desk going through hard copy photos of CCTV footage. He wasn't getting very far.

"Thanks," he said, looking up to take it. "I stopped and got scones, and the coffee in the break room is fresh."

[logan_echolls]

"Scones?" Logan said, sounding almost amused as he invited himself to sit across from the other man.

[im_torchwood]

"Yeah. They've go blueberries in them," he said, taking two photographs to compare them side by side. He had yet to actually look at Logan.

[logan_echolls]

Logan's amusement faded.

"You're pissed. ...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left. I was just processing, I guess."

[im_torchwood]

"I'm not pissed, Logan," Jack said, finally looking up. "I don't know what I am, but it's nothing like angry. I promise."

[logan_echolls]

"What is it then? Talk to me," Logan said calmly. "What we're navigating is- It's not normal. We have to talk or we're both going to end up way off course."

[im_torchwood]

Jack let the photos fall and he looked at Logan.

"I don't want to screw this up," he said. "And I feel like that's all I'm doing."

[logan_echolls]

"How is me leaving you screwing up?" Logan asked.

[im_torchwood]

"Jack held up his hands and shrugged.

"I don't know. It just...I shouldn't have...I don't know."
