"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 don't know. I'm going to have to examine this drabble in depth. I have a suspicion that Jack might have gotten Daniel drunk on purpose. *looks thoughtful*

[ivorygates]

You know, having read the DVD commentary (*loves*), I think that Daniel is the one in denial here. Jack knows he's in love with Daniel, and knows exactly what he wants from him, and is waiting, with as much patience as possible, for Daniel to make that connection when Daniel is sober.

Of course Daniel is aware of the same attraction, but he's afraid to admit it. Subconsciously, however, he does want to admit it, which is why he keeps putting himself into situations/taking opportunities to get drunk in Jack's presence.

I do hope things work out before Jack's nerves give out.... :)

[sid]

Oh, boy. Another theory. And a damn good one. Jack's nerves? What about my nerves? This stoopid drabble is EATING MY BRAIN!!!

[ivorygates]

*pets you*

It will get better. Really. And then there will be Tek Secks.

[sid]

Ah, but will there? *glowers darkly*

[ivorygates]

If there isn't, I guar-AN-tee there will be SULKING....

I'm not saying whose.

[sid]

Quite possibly mine!

[ivorygates]

I have *faith* in you.

And Jack is counting on you....

No pressure.

[sid]

GAH!! *flails wildly*

Jack wants a sequel??

But...but...I didn't understand it the first time around!!eleventy-one!!

*guzzles sips soothing martini*

[ivorygates]

But you understand it NOW, don't you?

Martinis. That may be the answer. Jack needs to give Daniel a martini...

[sid]

*nods sagely* Martinis are often the answer.

Now, what was the question again?

[ivorygates]

Sex?

[sid]

Are you propositioning me? *blushes coyly*

:-D

[ivorygates]

We have so much in common.... *VBEG*

[sid]

True. And you never know where things might lead. *polishes shiny new icon*

[ivorygates]

*giggle*
