Yes it fucking sucked. Yes it killed a ton of you bastards. Yes it's in bad taste, but I approve.

Yes it's exactly how it sounds, birdie.

Private to Jack Harkness//Unhackable

How's it hanging, Captain?

Action Spam in a Pool Hall

[handsomejack.livejournal.com]

I imagine running around after my team will keep me fit.

[Smiles a little as Cori remembers the water and heads on into the room, holding the door for the nightmare. Shrugs out of his coat and hangs it on a stool before walking to the table and starting to rack up the ball.]

I ah ... remember seeing you and Blue on the ship.

[He tosses his motorcycle jacket off as well after setting their drinks on the table.]

I remember seeing you too. We didn't recognize each other.

[And he lights a cigarette.]

[Leans over the table to roll the balls into position and then removes the rack. Walks over and picks up a pool cue, waving Cori to the privilege of the break if he wants it.]

I guess something in me recognized you.

[Said with a hint of a shy smile and cheeky blush.]

[Bringing an ash tray over.]

Irony of the curse isn't it?

[He breaks the formation with a solid crack. Cori doesn't look so shy or cheeky.]

[Leans back, pouring himself some water and watches Cori with the break.]

Irony?

[He pockets a ball without looking at Jack.]

Meeting like that, you, me, and Blue.

[He misses the second and stands back.]

[Steps forward, eying up his potential shots and then leaning down to take two in quick succession.]

Seems I was attracted to you regardless of knowing it was you.

[Said with a quick glance at Cori, something causing Jack to miss his next shot.]

That's the irony, attraction as complete strangers.

[He watches Jack casually, expression always half hidden by the shades. He lines up his own shot after the Captain's miss.]

What are you getting out of it, Jack?

[Crack! He pockets two in one shot.]

Re: Action Spam in a Pool Hall

[Leaning back against the wall, sipping his water. Doesn't play dumb to Cori's question, in a way has been wanting to have a conversation like this.

Even as he's been dreading it.]

It's complicated, Cori. I've actually never been in a situation like this before. I care, deeply about both you and Blue. It's peaceful, being with the two of you.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

I have.

[He admits coolly, but even that makes him miss his next shot.]

"Peaceful"?

[Eyes Cori pensively, slowly moving to take up a position at the table.]

You and Blue, there's so much love between the two of you. It's ... comforting to be allowed near it.

[Leans down and takes a shot, missing it by a mile. Winces and steps back.]

[He notices the missed shot. It works as a cue, telling of Jack's concentration. He taps ash on the tray's rim.]

Near it and not in it?

[He's not taking a shot yet.]

[Stands back, lightly bumping the pool cue between his hands.]

Blue loves you, Cori and you love him. You make each other happy. I love both of you and part of love is wanting to see the people you care about happy.

[He swings the pool cue up, the tip nudging under Jack's chin a moment. It leaves a chalk mark.]

Aren't you a martyr.

[handsomejack.livejournal.com]

[Lifts his chin, a little confused but for the moment allowing Cori the aggressive stance.]

Not a martyr. Just a man who knows that his life isn't about domestic bliss and happily ever after.

[Blue eyes watch Cori directly.]

You're scared I'll try to take him away from you or come between you. I wouldn't do that, even if I could, which I couldn't because he loves you. But it's not what I want and I don't know how to make you understand, Cori.

Do you want me to walk away?

Action Spam in a Pool Hall

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

[Cori's very good at aggressive, or so he likes to think! He grinds his cigarette out, never letting the cue move from under Jack's chin.]

Now you're calling it domestic?

[Those following words make his brow furrow. The truth hurts and all. He presses the cue harder against Jack.]

I liked you better when we were just fucking around.

[Not answering that other question.]

[handsomejack.livejournal.com]

[Reaching up and smacking at the pool cue to knock it aside.]

I'm calling you and Blue domestic, you ass.

What the hell is wrong with you, Cori? How can you look at the way Blue's eyes light up when you walk in a room and not understand how much he loves you?

[The pool cue sways to the side.]

And you're okay with that? You're okay that it's not you even when he says he loves you too?

[He turns the cue single-handedly, bringing the heavier end up for a moderate strike against Jack's jaw.]

[handsomejack.livejournal.com]

[A little taken aback by the smack of the pool cue to his jaw, though the words distract him from the instinctive urge to strike back.

For the moment at least!]

You want me to be jealous of you?

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Are you?

[It's not a trick question. Of course the opposite is likely true.]

[handsomejack.livejournal.com]

[Stares at Cori for a moment, then rolls his eyes and hauls off and punches him square in the jaw.]

No, you dumbass!

[Swings again, another blow to the jaw.]

I love you, moron.

[His head snaps to the side from the first punch. The second punch inspires him to respond to Jack's declaration in kind. Words don't compute as well as fists do, see.]

....

[He lunges forward, shoulder first, eager to grasp Jack by the shoulder and side. Cori wants to introduce the Captain's back to the pool table.]

[Watching Cori wind up, Jack automatically dropped into an expression and stance of pure 'bring it!' which is no doubt how he ended up picked up and smacked hard into the pool table.

Curling over Cori's back, Jack grasped his hands together and brought a punishing dual fisted hammer punch right down on the nightmare's rib cage.

It's a love tap, really.]

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Asshole.

[It's a mix of a grunt and a growl. Unprepared for the impact to his ribs, he releases Jack immediately to keep from getting winded. But he's quick too and grasps at another cue to bring down on the Captain in an effort to pin him to the green felt.

The noise isn't so conspicuous in a bar of all places, but it is slightly odd!]

[Oh hell no! Throws an elbow up towards Cori's throat. Not too keen on getting pinned with a pool cue, kthanx]

Dumbass!
