LEAVING ON A JET PLANE

The day Daniel left Jack was the day Jack left for D.C. Jack’s departure had been planned for weeks; Daniel’s leaving him first had never been part of his plan.

 

“It’s over,” Daniel said as he walked out Jack’s door for the last time.

 

Half an hour later, Jack also walked out his door for the last time, climbed into a car driven by an airman and headed for Peterson and transport east. As he sat on the plane, eyes closed and fingers squeezing at the bridge of his nose, he wondered why his head ached when Daniel’s blow had struck about a foot further down.

 

When the plane landed, Jack turned his cell on and found a waiting message from Daniel. “I really hate goodbyes.”

 

Jack speed-dialed. “Is that was this was all about?”

 

“Only partly. Mostly to end things cleanly.”

 

Jack spotted his waiting car and driver as he disembarked. “Not over, Daniel.”

 

“Jack.”

 

“Never over, Daniel.”

 

This time, “Jack” was said in a completely different tone of voice.

 

Jack nodded to his driver. “Tell me.”

 

“Don’t be an ass.”

 

Jack was smiling as he climbed into the car. “Tell me.”

 

Daniel sighed. “It’s not over.”

 

“Damn right.”

So very sweet.

[sid]

Daniel was so silly. They belong together, even if they have to be apart. :-)

Awww! It's so sweet! <3

[sid]

Glad you enjoyed! :-)

Whew! You had me scared for a minute there! Good job!

*is happy*

[sid]

Some painful moments, but any goodbye these two say (or avoid saying) is only temporary.

:-)

Hee! Jack was one heartbeat away from flying back and dragging Daniel out by the ear. "It's. Not. Over!" Ever. :-)

[sid]

Never, ever ever. :-)

Oh Daniel. {{hugs}} Hang in there.

[sid]

He obviously doesn't think a long distance relationship can work.

We (and Jack) know he's wrong. :-)

[tigerlilly2063.livejournal.com]

Ow, that was cowardly. How could Daniel ever think it's over?
Glad you gave it a happy ending. :D

“Damn right.” You betcha.

[sid]

Yeah, Daniel thought it would be easier to end it fast instead of saying a painful goodbye and then watching the relationship slowly dissolve into nothing.

What the idiot should have done was discuss with Jack how he was feeling!

Oops, he's a guy. Guys don't do that. Heh.

[perfica.livejournal.com]

Whew! You had me worried for a minute there.

[sid]

It was such a cool first line that popped into my head! But it definitely called for a bit of angst, sorry! :-)

[jd-junkie.livejournal.com]

Damn you ... first, my heart is constricted into a tiny, tiny thing, then it bursts with joy that Jack won't let Daniel be a total ass ... then you give the tear ducts a bit of a work-out.
TALK TO EACH OTHER BOYS!!
Like I said, damn you ...

[sid]

My work here is done. :-)

Good thing Daniel couldn't rest easy and had to leave Jack a semi-apology.

Men. *snorts*

[entrenous.livejournal.com]

Gah! Don't DO that! Make up phone sex would make it better. ^_~

[sid]

Yes, phone sex will would make it all better. On a secure line, of course!

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Oh, silly boys.

[sid]

Yes, and Daniel gets the prize for Most Silly. *g*
