Who: Jack and... Jack the Sexy and... Oh, hell. The Sexy Jacks.
What: Hospital visitations, nostalgia, etc
When: Today. Was supposed to have been yesterday, but I fail.
Warnings: I'll keep you posted.

It had taken Jack a bit of detective work, but he managed to find the hospital Jack was laid up in, heading there the very-old-fashioned way; walking. How quaint. Strolling into the building, he had the fleeting thought- for all the Doctors he spent time with, he hadn't had need for a hospital in decades.

Stopping in the doorway to Jack's room, he realized briefly that it was times like this he wished he could transfer his 'gift' to his friends. Still, Jack looked better than he'd thought; enough to get a smile out of Jack, and a wolf-whistle.

"I'm loving the get-up. Antiseptic chic, I feel it." Shoving off the wall, he walked forward to Jack's bedside, giving him a peck on the cheek before settling in the chair next to him. "Lookin' great, baby."

"It's alright, now. At first, I have to admit it scared the shit outta me. I'm not meant to be a father, I don't think. But the kids mostly take care of themselves, so... I can deal." A beat. "And you mean you'd actually make me listen to you sing? Oh dear," He was joking, as made obvious by the gentle nudge to Jack's side, and kiss to his cheek.

"For that, I'd make you listen to the entire album, yes," Jack nudged him back, smiling at the kiss before he laid his head against the man's shoulder, "So, darling, you've plenty of people who love you here, then. I'm so glad."

Jack nodded a little, wringing his hands in an uncharacteristically pensive gesture. "They come and go. But... c'est la vie." He glanced over at Jack, before looking past him to the bedside table covered in cards and flowers. "Besides, looks like you're one to talk."

Jack watched those hands, as he had the first time they met, and his own reached over to take hold of one of Jack's, "Such is life," He murmured before looking at the cards as well, "Oh, yes, well, I'm lucky, too. My Jules came along with me, or rather, before me. I showed up here, terrified I might have lost him. But he was waiting. And then there is Greg and Ray and their darling daughters and now you...And it keeps growing. It's easier here, you know. I don't know why, but it is."

"That's good," Another nod, even if Jack didn't quite know who some of those people were. Come to think; "And... who are they, then?" He asked with a grin, glancing over at Jack and realizing they didn't know much about each other at all.

Jack laughed and leaned up to kiss Jack's jaw, a tiny affection for the comment, "Sorry, dear, I should explain! Well, Jules, as you know, is my best friend who will be joining us when we go see Cary. Here," Jack reached for the tabloid he had been looking at, pointing, "That man, there. Greg and Ray, a married couple, both look exactly like him and are wonderful friends as well. Greg and I are the ones who went dancing in drag. He has only one leg, while Ray, his partner, a dancer, has two. So, it's rather easy to tell them all apart, when you think of it. Two legs, one leg, none. Well, Jules has legs, lovely ones, but he can't use them all that well. Anyway. Ray and Greg had twin daughters, Sofia and Reina, who are amazing and I already love them to pieces. Really, you should meet them. All of them. I bet you'd like them and they'd life you. Or I might just be saying that because I adore you. Probably am." He grinned and took a breath, "I'm sorry. I'm rambling."

Smiling, Jack just kissed the other man's temple again. "I like the rambling. And I'd love to meet them. You should host a dinner or something,"

Jack laughed at that, "The last time I hosted a dinner with that lot, our bathroom door was broken," He grinned at the thought but nevertheless-"I will, though! I think it would be lovely. I'll have to think of what to make, as I already made Greg and Ray pasta, I can't do that again. Would be embarassing. You wouldn't happen to know how to cook, my darling Captain Jack?"

"Just one door? Hm. Records to break, then," He smirked, nudging Jack again.

"And wouldn't you know, I happen to be a fantastic chef. 'Can't live over a century and just avoid learning how to cook,"

Jack's tongue stuck out a little at that as he laughed, shaking his head, "Darling, I bet you could break a plethora of doors in one evening, couldn't you?"

"Oh, well then! How's about we have it at mine and Jules' place and you cook? I'll buy the food and everything, we can go grocery shopping together and everything, and I'm not just saying that because I'm afraid the next grocery I step into will fall on me."

"I'm game. Just let me know when, so I can make sure to be here," He sighed, carefully putting an arm around Jack's shoulders and settling into a comfortable silence.

"I will," Jack rested against his captain, eyes closing after a moment. He would never cease being surprised over how comfortable he felt around his new friends. It was just as if since he was starting new in a way, he could try to trust men more.

"Darling?" Jack spoke finally, though quietly, "I'm sure any one of your wives have said this before, or really anyone who has met you, but you are something special, you know that?"

Jack smiled at that, letting his fingers brush through the hair at the nape of Jack's neck. "This is nothing... you haven't even got me into bed yet," the joking tone was obvious, as he glanced at Jack with a smirk. "Thank you, Jack."

"Oh yes, I'm sure my opinion of you would increase ten fold then," Jack snickered, smiling as he leaned up to kiss the man's chin, "You're welcome," He nodded, looking into the man's eyes, "I know I give a lot of what seems like empty flattery, but I do mean that. You barely know me and you are making dreams of mine come true. You may claim it just passes the time or what have you, but...It means a lot to people when you do these things. And I think you deserve all the thanks you can get and then some."

"Contrary to popular belief, I don't invite just anyone to travel with me. You've got something special about you, Jack, and you deserve to have your dreams come true. God, listen to me sounding like a Disney commercial." He scoffed a little, reaching in his pocket to pull out a flask, taking a drink.

"Or a make-a-wish foundation," Jack mused, watching the drink, "What's that?" He asked, curious as he eyed the flask.

Jack smirked around his drink, before finishing off his mouthful to answer, "Hyper-vodka. S'pretty strong, but if you're feeling daring," He offered the flask out, shrugging a shoulder.

"Oh, no thank you, darling," Jack shook his head, squeezing the man's hand in his, "Just wanted to know what your vice was," He mused, kissing the man's cheek and leaning his head down against his shoulder again.

"Oh, if you wanted me to pick just one vice, it wouldn't be alcohol," He let his near hand drift over Jack's thigh to make his point, before chuckling a little, "But no, if you want a damn good drink, you still gotta wait.. probably another two centuries or so, before they make the stuff that literally makes your clothes fall off,"

Jack merely smirked at that before he raised an eyebrow, "Is everyone in the future so focused on sex, darling?" He questioned, "I'm not judging, merely curious. I like to think I've found the horniest time traveller of the lot, but perhaps everyone is like this where you are from?"

A hand ran through his hair, as Jack tried to decide how to answer that. "The short answer is yes, everyone's... 'like this'. It's classic cultural shift; the same way the two of us sitting in a bed together would have been scrutinized a few decades ago. Consider that pace, and then multiply by the three millenia I have on you." He shrugged. "It's not a focus, as much as it is an enjoyable passtime. It's not like we have nightly nationwide orgies or anything," A beat, "Those are usually saved for the special occasions," Maybe he was joking, maybe he wasn't. There was no way for Jack to know.

Snorting softly, Jack smiled, "I didn't mean offense, dear. I like it, actually," He rubbed his cheek against the man's shoulder a bit, "I'd rather you be as you are than anything else. I like you as you are."

"No offense taken. It's just one of those hard-to-explain things, like when people ask how time-travel works. Which is to say, I don't particularly care about the physics- it just does." He leaned back into the other man, as he turned to press his face in the man's hair, enjoying the closeness.

"Perfectly understandable," Jack murmured, very content as he was, eyes closed as he rested against Jack, "Do you ever think you'd want to be from here and now?"

Jack thought about that for a minute, before shrugging his shoulder gently. "I'm not sure I would be very different than I am now. I mean, I've lived 'here and now' for, what... sixty years? There are some things that just don't change."

"You look wonderful for however old you must be," Jack commented thoughtfully, "Well, I'm glad you are here in the here and now, darling. I half expected you to not come."

"I'm somewhere in the 140s... I think. It all sort of bleeds together, but then again, most people don't bother to ask my age. It just gets suspicious when the years go by and I simply... don't look different. It's part of the curse." He smiled a little sad smile at Jack's mention of him not coming, "If there's one thing I never do, it's leave a friend hanging."

"Like that book,'Tuck Everlasting'," Jack remembered having to learn about that when he was doing his education degree. He showed them, however, and went on to get a masters in education and never teach high school. So there.

"You're the very picture of the romantic hero, you know," Jack said after a moment, "And I don't mean in those awful romance novels that I never read, I swear. I mean, classical Romance heros. Like...Oh, Sir Gawain or something," Yes, Jack was feeling a bit off due to his medication, and pretty much anyone who spent anytime with him knew he would get like this.

Jack brushed a kiss against the other man's temple, and listened to him go on, bemused. "That's awful kind of you to say- I'll have to go look up just what you mean,"

Jack laughed, "Oh, I've become quite used to people not knowing what I'm talking about half the time," He smiled, "Sir Gawain, my darling Captan, was one of Arthur's Knights. He was the one, actually, that pointed out to Arthur at one point that maybe leaving Lancelot to look after Guinevere was not in his best interests..."
