"I know that," Lorne says, closing his eyes and sighing deeply.
"I don't want to know what happens to me. I want to know what happens to you. How long would you wait for me? When would you decide I wasn't coming back?"
He lays back down at Jack's side, curling up and laying his head on Jack's chest. "I don't want you to be alone."
Jack strokes Lorne's face. "I love you. I haven't been in love very often in my life. Or death," he adds with a faint smile. "But I love you very much and I want you for as long as I can have you."
Lorne smiles faintly and leans up to kiss him. "I love you too. Very much. And...I'd hate it if I was gone for an unusually long time and came back to find you with someone else, but..." He pauses, brushing Jack's hair from his forehead. "I don't like to think of you being lonely."
"I want," Jack says, pulling Lorne closer against him, "you to be happy and healthy and with me as much as possible. Beyond that . . . who knows what the future will bring, Evan."

He props himself up on an elbow to look at Jack. "If I die...you'll never know. I'll just...stop coming."
