Lorne & Jack in the cabin

[callmemajor]

These things always take longer than one thinks they will.

However, the cabin is finally finished: floors laid, most of the furniture built, stairs to the loft in, plumbing finished.

It feels...good to be done.

It feels even better to be sharing it with Jack.


[ooc: This homecoming is suitable for adults only.]

Lorne is quiet for a long moment. "Yeah," he whispers. "Yeah, it kind of is."

Jack traces Lorne's chest with his fingertips, drawing circles around his navel. He starts to speak a few times but doesn't say anything.

[callmemajor]

"Baby?" Lorne says softly. "You okay?"

[firstcptjack.livejournal.com]

"Absolutely," Jack says and kisses his chest again. "I love you."

He's quiet a moment longer. "Sometimes I forget that I can't offer you a normal life. And then I remember."

[callmemajor]

Lorne cups Jack's cheek in his hand and tilts his face up. "I don't want a normal life," he whispers. "I want you."

[firstcptjack.livejournal.com]

Jack quietly laughs and kisses him. "I hope that's a good thing."

[callmemajor]

Lorne shrugs, kissing him back. "It's...good enough."

[firstcptjack.livejournal.com]

Jack nods and lays his head on Lorne's shoulder again.

[callmemajor]

Lorne sighs softly and kisses Jack's hair, rubbing his cheek against it.

"I love you so much," he whispers.

[firstcptjack.livejournal.com]

"I love you too," Jack says, his hand slowly rubbing Lorne's chest.

[callmemajor]

Lorne kisses his hair again. He glances out the skylight and whispers, "Look, babe. It's snowing."

[firstcptjack.livejournal.com]

Jack sits up with a smile. "Yeah. Look at that."

[callmemajor]

Lorne slides his fingers down Jack's spine and smiles up at him. "Kinda perfect, isn't it?"

[firstcptjack.livejournal.com]

"It's really beautiful." He turns to Lorne and kisses him softly, and lies down at his side again.


[ooc: Bedtime.]

[callmemajor]

Lorne turns onto his side and touches Jack's face gently. "We're gonna be okay, babe," he murmurs.


[ooc: Goodnight.]

[firstcptjack.livejournal.com]

Jack nods and kisses him. "I know."

[callmemajor]

"Good," Lorne whispers, kissing him back. "And it's almost Thanksgiving. And we've got a lot to be thankful for."

[firstcptjack.livejournal.com]

"Mm," Jack hums. "Do you want to do a feast?"

[callmemajor]

"We should do something," Lorne says, trailing his fingertips down Jack's side. "It'll be our first Thanksgiving together."

[firstcptjack.livejournal.com]

"A small, two-person feast," Jack murmurs. "We'll have to get everything from the bar, of course."

[callmemajor]

Lorne nods. "We can do that. What should we have?"

[firstcptjack.livejournal.com]

"Oh, the usual," Jack says. "Turkey with sage stuffing. Mashed potatoes. Mince pie."

[callmemajor]

Lorne wrinkles his nose. "Pumpkin pie, maybe? And green bean casserole."

[firstcptjack.livejournal.com]

"You don't like mince? Pumpkin's all right."

[callmemajor]

"It's really rich," Lorne says. "Pumpkin with whipped cream. Ooh, and cranberry sauce!"
