Oh, the guy he’d been flirting with had another drink. That was nice...He quite fancied a drink as well. He glanced at the barmaid, considering attracting her attention...but then the man beside him turned away from his drink, and suddenly attracting the attention of the pretty but busy barmaid was too much effort. So he stole that drink just like he’d stolen the last, and then turned back towards Jack.
He smirked, his eyes glinting as thoughts of what Jack was thinking about running through his head, and ooohhh, they were pretty thoughts, they were. “I’d be rather offended if you had forgotten.” He would be, that was true. But everything he’d just said, the stress relief bit and the offended bit anyway, had been true. Why would he lie about something that he was proud of.
Jack looked like he was trying far, far too hard to think. This wasn’t a place to think, was it? This was a place to find hot, beautiful bodies to dance again, music to sway to and alcohol to get drunk on. This was a place for a good time, as well as being a place for John to hide without being suspected of anything. Why would he be suspected of anything? He was sure that this place just sang his name all over it. After all, the music was loud, and kept changing randomly from slow to fast, and then the air smelt of hot bodies pressed close together, and the drinks...they were just pretty. How could this not be one of the many, many different places that just spoke of him?
He narrowed his eyes though, when they returned back to Jack, swirling the drink around in his glass before swallowing some of it down, letting it burn his throat, because that was such a wonderful feeling, the burning of alcohol. Especially that type...evidently the man beside him was into hot stuff. Hmm. He could actually give him another chance, if Jack turned out to be in a prissy I’m not going to touch him, bad memories, silly things, blah blah blah mood. Which he could be really, but John wouldn’t stop trying. He skipped over that roll of the eyes though, because, well, one reason was that Jack’s eyes were just beautiful, a beautiful baby blue, and John was a sucker for baby blues. There was no need to get hung up over the truth. John didn’t do sob stories. They were stupid, in his opinion. What was the point of telling someone else about something bad that had happened to them? They most likely weren’t going to be interested in the first place. Also, they made him remember being a child himself, and that was even more annoying. That was the main reason he just shot them.
And then the second reason was because of what he said next. He blinked slowly, swirling his drink slowly, looking at Jack over the top of it, sucking in his cheeks into a small, smirk like grin, before wrapping his lips around his glass to sip a little bit more of his drink. “Do you need some stress relief?” he inquired, in a perfect innocent tone. “Free of charge, if it’s desperately needed. I can bring some references if you require them.”

As he much as he hated to admit it, John was right. All to right. He wouldn't have used the same words of course. But it was true enough. That's what happened when you felt responsible for a whole planet. You ended up feeling like everything just went to pieces when things go wrong. When you let people down. When you let people die......It was nothing but heartbreak and sadness. Torture of the heart and an explosion of the mind.
He watched as John stole the drink of the man next to him and he grinned. As messed up as that was, it was pretty funny. Leave it to John to manipulate and steal from innocent people. Not that taking a drink was a serious offense or anything, but it was still humorous.
Jack couldn't help but scoff at Jack's offer.
"You would charge me?",,he asked in an incredulous tone, but a smile on his face. He couldn't imagine such a thing. If John would ever even think about charging him he knew that Jack could easily convince him not to. Heh, that was a pretty funny picture actually in his head. But as tempting as it was, he wanted to resist. No matter what he told himself that he would not allow it. Not so soon after what happened anyway. Maybe in a few years...A few decades even a few centuries but not now.
Jack leaned back in his stool. He willed himself to relax. No matter what happened and what he said he would have fun. Just not the wrong kind of fun. At this point Jack was past the self-destructive phase of his very long life. He knew that no matter what he did to ease any kind of stress or strife, that it would have to be decent. Nothing that would ruin him or nothing that he would feel guilty for. Of course that didn't include drinking or sleeping around. It just meant that he would regulate it a bit. Jack turned in his seat so that he was facing John. His head resting on his hand as he gazed at John. Something about John's eyes still captivated him. That sense of danger and excitement. The carefree attitude they showed....
"Maybe...So long as you don't hold me to any kind of hidden agenda.",he said after a minute. Laughter in his eyes even though he didn't laugh outright

I’m expensive material, me.” He knew more tricks than anyone else he’d met, he was pretty sure of that. Especially Jack, come to think of it. Because while Jack had been spending who knows how long on one planet, John had been darting around the Vegus Nebula and the Calterase Pleasure Planets. Ohhh, Jack was old and earthy! The thought made him giggle.
“But no, tell you what. I won’t charge. I’ll give your a freebie for the first go. If you’re good enough I won’t charge after, either.” There. That was a good offer. After all, he was pretty sure that quite a few others would actually pay, but hey, he didn’t need money, did he? When he did, he might think about it, because you couldn’t exactly go out nicking stuff when he was lying low, could he? Damn, he hadn’t thought of that.
He lowered his eyes slightly, looking up at him from beneath his eyelids, his lips curved into a grin. Oh, Jack’s eyes, such baby blues...John really, really was a sucker for Baby Blues. Of course, that had also had something to do with the whole Gray incident, because Jack’s brother having the same eyes as Jack had just messed with his head, he was sure. But no matter. That was the past, this was the present, and John laughed. “Oh, relax. No hidden agenda. Other than making you loosen up, of course. For, to be honest, completely self-centered reasons, of course. No one is any fun when they just brood.” - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TAG; jack harknessWORDCOUNT; five.seven.fourOUTFIT; clubbing!CREDITS; coding, mine, LYRICS; KT Turnsdale 'Glamour Puss'NOTES; -- [/size] |
