"In Vino Veritas", J/D drabble, rated PG

[sid]

I almost titled this one "Deja Vu", because I think it may have happened before...

J/D, 100 words, rated PG.  Movie night at Jack's.

IN VINO VERITAS

Daniel was drunk. Floppy and sloppy. Laughter, heavy leaning. Before the movie was over, his hand was on Jack's thigh.

Jack turned off the TV. Daniel looked down at his hand and said, "Oh, hey." Jack just laughed and plopped his hand down on Daniel's knee, expecting a giggle. But Daniel turned towards him with unfocused eyes, and said, "Love you. Oh, shouldn't said that."

"Love you back," Jack said easily.

"'S'not same," Daniel slurred, and began to move away.

“All love is good.” Jack pulled Daniel close. “Right?”

“‘kay.” Daniel nestled contentedly.

He would forget by morning. Jack wouldn’t.

I love how Daniel is the one who says what he feels, but only Jack will feel the weight of what it means.

I wish I could figure out what Jack is thinking/feeling here. I'm actually considering trying my hand at a DVD commentary on this - so I can either figure it all out, or confuse everybody else equally!
