I am, apparently, evil. I wanted Bjorn to get in the way for rather longer than this. ;) That said, just cause Bjorn is gone, doesn't mean that Daniel's ready to admit that this thing going on with Jack is True Love and he'd better get used to it.
Daniel has decided that he and Jack would be the worst idea EVER. He's presumably spent quite some time talking himself OUT of love with Jack, and rehersing exactly WHY more than friendship would be a bad idea... And it'll take a LOT (IMO)to open his eyes to why that IS NOT so.
I think the UST/pre-slash could still run for CHAPTERS here. Chapters. :D (That could just be wishful thinking on my part, though.)
That said, THIS is gorgeous. I never understand HOW you get so much emotion into so few words - let alone the spot-on characterisation and the voices and...
But love, LOVE the friendship and warmth and the things not said and the fact that it's Jack - in spite of everything - that Daniel runs to, even while Bjorn's still sleeping it off in his/their bed.

GUH.
Poor needy, miserable Daniel. Poor Jack. Poor Bjorn. :(
Poor Daniel.

Love the way you write these guys. :D
Love THIS.
Thank you.
