WHISKEY * / SOUL.

she can’t keep the smile off of her lips - BUT WHAT ELSE IS NEW? he makes her happy. she’s leaning against him, the heat in her cheeks painting her face RED, but she can’t even spare the mind to feel ashamed.    ❝ and you’re the sweetest damn thing around. ❞   she returns, each kiss beginning a new series of giggles. her hands go to the front of his chest, thumbs tracing over his sternum.    ❝ and the biggest damn flirt around. you could knock ANY girl off her feet. ❞

          OH  ,  HOW  OFTEN  HE  catches himself staring at the man before him. caught in his trap, blinded by the light behind his eyes, the happiness in his smile. jack has never been anything less than mesmerized by his lover; if you asked jack, he’d tell you damian put the stars in the sky. never bother to argue the truth, for he’d dare not listen. nothing but love and adoration radiates from jack when he’s in the same room as the other. 

          HE  CROSSES  THE  ROOM  to rest tattooed hands upon damian’s waist, his face buried into the crook of his neck. he breathes deep, drinking the man in. hands hold on as if, at any moment, damian may disappear. lips press feather-light kisses upon the man’s skin, trailing up to his jaw, until they’re pressed against his cheek. jack grins, pulling damian until there’s absolutely no space between the two. ❝ missed you, ❞ the simplest of words spoke barely above a whisper, but they hold more meaning than jack could ever explain.

          ❝  ‘EY  PRETTY  LADY  ,  HAVE  YA  HEARD  THE  NEWS  ?  ❞  jack’s arm wraps tight around heather’s waist, pulling her to his side. lips press a quick kiss to her cheek before he’s resting his chin atop her head. ❝ yer the prettiest damn thing on the block. nah, nah -- the prettiest damn thing IN THIS TOWN. ❞ there’s that trademark smirk, face buried in her hair for a moment before he bombards her with yet more kisses. ❝ maybe even the prettiest damn thing in this COUNTRY. ❞

Damian feels multiple waves of different feelings wash over him, unsure which one to focus on first. Laughter comes unbidden, driven from him by sheer relief. “Oh my god,” he sighs. “I thought you’d accidentally burned something or… were going to jail or some dark shit!” No. no it was none of those things.

Jack was proposing.

“Yes,” Damian grinned, not a doubt in his mind for a single goddamn second. “Absolutely. I love you, you fucking asshole.” And with that, he pulled the man he loved–his fiance–into a kiss, as deep and as full as he could.

“Yeah,” Damian echos, feeling a speck of suspicion in him start growing. “It’s been amazing.” He wasn’t sure where this was going. Jack usually only got like this when something huge was coming. Damian just prayed it wasn’t something awful that Jack was being forced to reveal now.

“I love you, Jack,” he said, raising his eyebrows and nodding slightly, making sure the other man was fucking listening to him. “That’s not gonna change.” Whatever was coming had Jack’s tongue completely stolen.

The phone in Damian’s hand is immediately pocketed, his interest immediately grabbed by Jack’s less than subtle distress. The elder vampire is quickly worried, unsure of what’s going on. It doesn’t take an expert to see how fake that smile is.

“Course,” he said, lacing his fingers with the other man’s. He kept a close watch on Jack’s face, red eyes  “Not busy. What’s going on…? You okay?” 

          FINGERS  WRAP  CAREFULLY  AROUND  the other’s wrist as jack turns him around. there’s something up, clear in the way he looks at damian. like he’s nervous, almost terrified to even speak. yet, he plasters on a fake smile to hide all of that, praying to god himself that his own boyfriend won’t pick up on it. ❝ hey, baby. can i, uh, talk to ya for a minute ? if you’re busy, it’s cool. it can wait. ❞
