for Jack

[will_you_see]

After Alcuin left Daniel's house, he was really in quite a state. His clothes were haphazardly on (his shirt, in fact, was inside out), his face still flush with some horrid mixture of arousal and embarrassment, expression wavering uneasily as if he were trying not to collapse under the weight of some emotion

Jack was on his way to the Catscratch Club when he spied Alcuin. He always had a smile for the other man but it only took him a few steps closer to see he was distraught. Thoughts of work vanished.

"Alcuin?" he asked with a note of deep concern. "Are you all right?"

Alcuin had been so lost in his own thoughts that he looked startled to see Jack there. "I..." He truly did not mean to be so blunt, but found himself saying, "No. No, I'm not at all."

He was perfectly aware of the phenomenon sweeping the island and was immensely grateful he had been spared. It seemed Alcuin hadn't been so lucky. He'd never known the young man to be so blunt. Honest, yes, but so plain?

"What happened?" he asked, moving close to touch his shoulders...noticing Alcuin wasn't even dressed properly. It wasn't just disheveled. It was beyond that.

"Alcuin, tell me what happened," he said, well aware of what happened when asked directly or outright commanded.

Honesty was a bitch.

Alcuin swallowed hard, looking at Jack, and then found the story pouring out almost on its own volition. "Daniel, he... was the first person to touch me in so long, and we were making love, and I thought... that it meant something... and then Vala walked in on us. And he... he could not get rid of me fast enough."
