(Note: If you are reading this, you're most likely a major Will and Grace fan, and therefore, I'm not going to bother to overly explain what's going on. Please, PLEASE watch the second to last episode of the show before reading this, actually, it's best to have watched most of the show, because I talk about some things over the seasons that you may not understand. You're not going to understand the relationship here if you don't either.

I normally don't do fan fiction about shows that use real life character actors. Something about controlling actual people always freaked me out a little bit. But for this, I feel like I needed to do this. For the past 9 months or so, I've been begging and pleading mentally with the creators of the show to end with a Will and Jack pairing. Now I'm sadly sure that it won't happen, just because of the way the show is working out, but I hope I can be proved wrong.

Will and Jack always appealed to me as a couple. Jack obviously loves Will, despite the constant stream of jokes about him. Will however, has not shown his feelings as obviously, but has shown them subtly. The most recent was the episode where Jack had a cowboy boyfriend who wanted to cheat on him with Will, and Will defended Jack amazingly well. There have been other hints over the course of the show that these two should be together. The beginning of this season revealed Jack had a tattoo that said "I Love Will" somewhere on him. There have been three "what if" episodes that come to mind as well, the first being the fortune teller episode where she predicts Will spends his life with a man named Jack. My reasoning on this is that Will asks about a love life, obviously meaning romantic and not platonic, and seemingly forgets this fact at the end of the show, opting to believe he and Jack will spend their lives together platonically. The second episode is the two part series where Jack and Will think they've slept together on Karen's boat and are freaking out about it. The third is only partially a "what if", where Will kisses Jack on live TV to prove a point to the networks. There are numerous other references, Jack's jealously over Will getting James this season, the flashback episode where we found out Jack asked Will out after knowing him for a year and helping him find his sexuality, even the auction house episode from this season where Will bets on Jack so he won't feel back and Jack takes it as Will wanting to date him.

Many people say the couple would never work. They say they're too opposite and unequal. I take this a different way. Will is the stable and reserved one of the two, he needs Jack to truly live his life and enjoy it. Jack is more flamboyant and I think, personally, courageous, he lives the way he wants, but he needs Will for stability and support. Will also owes Jack a lot, he helped him come out of the closet, and he repays Jack by always taking care of him. That could be seen as close friendship, and it is, but I think Will came out because it was Jack telling him to. Jack is his motivation, and Will is Jack's support. They're ying and yang, and I think they should finally come together.

This is a representation of what I wish could happen in the finale. It is a lot more dramatic and less humorous than normal episodes, as most finales are. Also, Leo, Grace and Karen are going to be ignored mostly, because this is my story for Will and Jack, and I don't quite know what I want to happen with all of them. I'll insert summations of some events occurring with those three, but just to add to the story. Don't expect the normal fun "Jesus, Cher and Joseph!" jokes, I enjoy the humor, I can't recreate it well. Also, this is not going to be a porno or a lemon. There will be sex, but it will be implied and not written about. I think I'd rather leave that up to your imaginations, and I'm still not ready to picture lemons with real life people. Also note that the two main songs I thought about and listened to while coming up with this plot are "Everything Changes" by Staind and "You and Me" by Lifehouse. It's not so much the words as the whole feel of these two songs that helped inspire me.

I hope this is a good summation for all WillxJack fans out there. Keep the hope alive. In a days from now, we'll know the truth. Until then, enjoy.

Nighthawk)

Grace has just gotten a call from Leo, telling her he needs to talk to her. He asks her to pick him up at the airport. Still tense over their argument, Grace leaves Will in his apartment to sulk over just having broken up with Vince.

There was the couch. Will sat on it numbly, still trying to recall the reasons he had told Vince that they had to break up. I love you he had said, but I love Grace too. He couldn't believe that Vince would make him decide over him or Grace. Vince had told him that he was too attached to Grace. Didn't he understand? He was going to play father to Grace's baby. Would you abandon your child and its mother, especially if they were one of your best friends? Grace had always been there for him, and he wouldn't leave her on her own to struggle raising a child. He wanted that child to have a father, and it was going to be him.

But now Leo was in the picture again. Will still silently fumed. He asked himself why Grace couldn't do the same as he had and sacrifice her love for Leo, but he already knew the answer. Leo would never have thrown Will out. He understood Grace and Will's relationship better than Vince did. Hell, he'd already experienced the "living with Grace means living with Will" thing that everyone always talked about. Leo was also the baby's real father, and would want to be part of the child's life, and Will didn't want to take that away from him.

But now what would he do? If Grace was leaving for Rome, he'd be stuck, alone again. It was like losing Michael all those years ago. He'd been so depressed during that time, the only reason he didn't break down was because Jack made sure that he took his mind off of Michael and moved on. He'd expected Jack to be the "I told you so" type, he'd never liked Michael, though Will didn't know why. Jack hadn't liked most of his boyfriends. But this time was different. After coming out of a 6 year relationship, Jack and Grace took care of their friend. They took him to clubs, were shoulders to lean on when he cried, and helped the pain recede. Maybe that was why Will had few reservations about letting them move in when they were down on their luck. He had to pay them back somehow, he'd never be able to fully pay them back for everything they'd ever done for him, but he could try.

His head was in his hands when he heard the door open. When he looked up, Jack was coming in, face screwed up into Jack's version of frustration. "Jesus, Cher and Joseph, Karen makes the poster say "the Vadge" and now I keep calling it that!" He looked over at Will. "What's wrong, glum bum?" Will shook his head. "Nothing" he said, getting up and walking over to the refrigerator. Jack could tell it was more than nothing. "Come on" he said, sitting on the couch and patting the seat next to it. "Tell me all about it. Did you see straight porn again by accident?"

Will sighed and moved back from the fridge onto the couch. "No Jack, you're the one who freaked out when that happened." Jack tilted his head upwards, thinking, then nodded. "Go on, tell Jackie your troubles" he said.

Will told him everything. He told him about Vince buying a brownstone for them to live in together. He told him how Vince had refused to let Grace live with them in the extra rooms, because he thought it would be too invasive. He told him about breaking up with Vince because of it, and then coming back to his apartment to hear that Grace didn't want to live with them anymore. She wanted to go back to Leo, because she believed he wanted her again because he had broken off his engagement. He ended by telling Jack that he didn't know what to do anymore.

Jack's expression wasn't his usual comical amusement. It was of concern and sadness. "Damnit" he said, getting up and stepping over to the mantle. He checked his hair, but it wasn't with effort, he was thinking. Will was surprised. Usually Jack would laugh and tell him something to make him feel better, or once in a while come up with a surprisingly smart answer to his problems. "You were right Will" Jack said, turning. "It's not fair. You and Grace are attached at the hip, but that's ok, every gay man should have a woman attached at the hip, I wish I had Cher" he said, trying to lighten the mood. Will smiled slightly. "There, you see, you can laugh!" said Jack, sitting down again. "You'll be fine Will, it works out in the end" he said, patting his leg.

"Thanks Jack" Will said, smiling back at him again. "I need you to make me feel better. It still hurts, but not as much anymore. Now I'm hungry." He got up and walked towards the kitchen. "Rocky Road or Bro-"

"Will, wait." Will turned around. Jack was looking away from him, towards the wall. "I came over here to talk to you about something. Can you sit down?"

Will sat back next to him on the couch. Jack stared off for a few more seconds, then turned his head to face him. "Ok, I don't know where to start much, but here goes. When I came over here tonight, I was ready to tell you something that I haven't been able to say for 20 years. When you told me all this, I felt like I couldn't anymore, because it would be like I was encroaching or something. But I have to tell you, it wouldn't be right not to, and you need to know, before it's too late to tell you. Will, I… I love you."

Will's mind was disjointed. Fireworks went off in his brain, he was thrown into a mess of confusion. Love? But they both loved each other, they were best friends. Did Jack not realize that? Slowly, it began to set in however, what he really meant. "I, I couldn't tell you because I was afraid it would wreck our friendship, and I didn't think you'd feel the same way. I just needed to let you know, I couldn't keep it in any longer."

All those times, all those times, and he hadn't had a clue. Will went back over the moments of his life, realizing the hints and pokes at more than a friendship. The fortune teller, the proposal for a relationship when they were in college. When Will had kissed Jack on live TV, he hadn't realized it at the time, but it wasn't resistant. It wasn't a forced kiss, it was natural. Will realized he wanted to try it again.

Jack was babbling on, obviously nervous that Will was freaking out. "It's ok if you don't feel the same way, you haven't for all these years, but I just-"

"-Jack…"

"-I feel like I've encroach-"

"-Jack!"

"What?"

"Shut up" said Will. He leaned over and kissed Jack. Pulling away, he saw Jack's face was a mixture of delight and amazement. Will smiled and leaned over again; he wasn't repulsed by this like he'd always imagined it would be, he enjoyed it. It felt natural, and right. The two kissed for a while, Will pushing Jack over slightly. He had a sudden urge, and pulled Jack to his feet. Moving him backwards towards the mantle, he continued kissing him. "Ow!" Jack said, suddenly pulling away. He'd run into the mantle's edge. "Sorry" said Will, but he immediately pulled him back into a kiss. They moved to the left, and Will pushed him back through his bedroom door. It shut behind him, and stayed closed.
