[_to_the_bone]

It's been a while. It's been a little more than a while.

And Jack has missed Parker, so home he comes. Wearing his coat, with a new ear piercing, in different clothes that don't look like things Jack would wear, but it's been a long time.

Too long, as far as Jack is concerned.

Parker is eating old leftovers from a woman he met once. She took him home and made him dinner and he didn't have sex with her and she thought that made him a good guy.

He just felt dirty, in a way that grunge from the road didn't.

He isn't sure how he gets back here without Jack.

Jack is startled when the door is locked, because he never bothers to. And since he'd been trying to go through it rather quickly, there's a rattle, and a muffled yelp, and then a long moment whre he tries to figure out where the hell he put his keys.

For a second, Parker watches the door, then goes into the kitchen for another beer.

[_to_the_bone]

Jack eventually makes it through, and finds Parker in the kitchen, right away.

He pauses in the door frame, because he's practised this moment in his head. And now that seems to be meaning nothing.

"Hello, I missed you, and managed not to die."
