Two drabbles
Long time no fic, but Jack kept bugging me after CoE and made me write two drabbles. Un-betaed, so feel free to Britpick / point out typos, whatever.
Title: Promise

Promise
"Another one," Jack told the tall blue alien behind the bar.
The alien stared for a moment at his bloodshot eyes and stubbled face.
"I can handle another one." He offered the blue creature a smile that never reached his eyes.
"You're not trying to kill yourself then?"
He shook his head "Just helps me forget. There's things I need to forget."
He downed the new drink and shoved the glass back. "Another one. Please. I won't be sick. Promise."
Next he vomited all over the bar and collapsed on the floor.
He'd never been very good at keeping promises.
Title: Sex

Sex
He didn't know which city it was, which country or even which planet. But brothels are universal, and this one didn't look bad.
He flashed a grin at the doorman, who nodded politely.
Inside, he was greeted enthusiastically by an elegant looking middle-aged woman. He let his eyes wander over her body as he introduced himself.
"Well, Mr. Harkness," the woman replied with a pleased smile. "I'm sure we have whatever it is that you want."
"A job," Jack said with a wink. "It's time for a career move."
At least he'd be doing something he was really good at.
