open_flameJohn: *rolls eyes*
Jack: John.......can we at least talk in private once
John: Sure.
Jack: Good, now please stop bothering my wife.
John: I'm not doing anything!
Liz: *Liz wants to ease drop, but won't*
Jack: You are annoying her, which doesn't take much, but still I do not want Liz to set you on fire, you do not grow back
John: *pouts a little* That's not my fault if she's annoyed.
Jack: Yes it is don't deny it.
John: I'm behaving. *not*
Liz: *NOT eavesdroping....OK, so is*
Jack: John.....darling...I know you are out of sorts but you have to see this from my point of view. I have a new life now.
John: You mean you have a family and you don't want to lose them
Jack: Yes, I've screwed up so much in my life, just once I want something to go right.
John: It seems to be going right. *just a little jealous*
Jack: Yes but it almost fell apart recently.
John: How?
Jack: I was an ass.
John: She's not used to that?
Jack: It was more then that.....there is this part of myself, this part she doesn't like and they...they it's hard to explain.
John: *frowns* So try, Jack.
Jack: I have another personality......Liz talked to him after he hurt someone, she confronted him about things that......I don't think she liked what she heard.
John: It's just words. If she really loved you, it wouldn't matter that much. Jack...
Liz: *tries not to jump out and yell at John, telling him he doesn't get it, but she...just can't... She loves Jack damn it...more than John does. More than anyone does.*
Jack: You don't understand Liz not like I do, she loves me she has for a long time.
John: *quietly* So do I, Jack, or did you forget that?
Jack: No I didn't and I still love you...but I love Liz too.
John: *smiles a bit* I know. I...
Jack: It can't be like it was John
John: Why not, Jack?
Jack: Because we've changed John both of us.
John: So? That doesn't mean we can't be together. *hesitates, then strokes his cheek*
Jack: *wants to lean into the touch but doesn't* We have to respect the culture we live in John.
John: Says who? It's not ours, Jack. It's not mine.
Liz: *speechless and frozen solid in shock...which is a VERY good thing*
Jack: That may be so but we still should. It matters to them it should matter to us.
John: There's no one I care about here other than you, Jack.
Jack: I wish I could say that for you John
John: *looks down* I know.
Jack: John: Maybe one day, but not now, not after everything.
John: *closes his eyes* Unlike you, I don't have forever, Jack.
Jack: What do you want me to do John?
John: I don't know.
Jack: You never do John, because you always take the easy path.
John: You always did too! You were a coward.
Jack: I changed John...
John: *quiet, not wanting to admit that he didn't*
Jack: I chose to help the world rather than hurt it.
John: I didn't hurt it.
Jack: My team died because of you and Gray.
John: *blank face* I had no choice, Jack.
Jack: There is always a choice...always.
Liz: *really, really really having a hard time saying silent and hidden now...almost crying at the memories of how much that time destroyed Jack*
John: He would have killed me! Jack, do you know how much I hated myself for it? *and it's hard for John to admit that to anyone, even himself*
Jack: I would have died then even thought about hurting anyone.
John: That's you. I'm not a hero, Jack, never was. And I never meant to hurt you. I didn't know he was going to do what he did.
Jack: You could have been.
John: No. Not me.
Jack: Yes you could have.
John: You have that much faith in me?
Jack: Of course I do I always have. It's why the partnered us
John: I was the only one you listened to.
Jack: Same for you....no one could tell you what to do.
John: Still can't. *grins* But I listened to you. Still do.
Jack: And I still listen to you.
John: Do you?
Jack: *leans in to kiss his forehead* Of course I do.
John: *soft smile* Good to know. *arms around his neck*
Liz: *can't take it anymore and coughs VERY loudly*
Jack: *turns around* Liz?
John: *scowls*
Liz: Ummm....* tries not to look like she's near tears, and completely terrified right now* The...um...*huffs* Dinner. We were supposed to do dinner.
Jack: *Jack nods* I'm sorry sweetheart John and I have been talking.
John: *quick nuzzle, then moves away* Right. Food sounds good.
Jack: *Jack glares at John but moves to Liz's side and kisses her*
Liz: *Kisses Jack more forcefully than she normal would in front of someone, almost as is she's trying make sure John sees it. When she needs air, she pulls back and nods* Talking...sure. *eyes dart between the two of them, too afraid to make any sort of accusation* Food's getting cold...and the boys are wondering where their dad and...*eyeroll at John* Uncle John went to.
John: *could have tried to steal a kiss or worse but didn't. Is pleased and distracted by the 'Uncle John' mention, otherwise would have tortured Liz some, but just goes to the table to play with the boys*
Jack: John.......can we at least talk in private once
