During one of their performance practices, Jack got hurt. Not too bad, just a small burn on his arm from getting in way of the puff of fire that emitted from the canon they had to shoot into the audience. Everything stopped when Jack yelled out in pain and before anyone could react, Danny was right next to his younger friend, holding his arm gently in his.
"Jesus, Jack." Danny said, carefully moving the charred piece of cloth from Jack's skin. Jack hissed in pain but stayed still. Danny ran his hand over the burnt skin and pressed down on the spot where he was bleeding.
"Henley. Merrit. Get the first aid kit and some wet towels. Fucking kid hurt himself." he yelled across the room. They both rolled their eyes and walked out of the room, Danny's eyes followed their movements until they were out the door, and once they were gone, minding Jack's arm, he pulled the taller man into his arms, squeezing tightly. Jack sighed and laid his head on Danny's and flinched when his tried to wrap his arms around him.
"Goddamn it Jack, if you had been any closer, you could have been killed." Danny whispered fiercely, pressing a light kiss on the mans shoulder. Jack nodded and ran his good arm up and down Danny's back, trying to smooth out the tension.
"I know. I was careless and it won't happen again, babe, I swear." Jack muttered, pulling back so he could see Danny's face. Danny's eyes brimmed with unshed tears and Jack pressed small kisses under each eye.
"I can't lose you. Already lost a lot of people. You mean too much, J." Danny's voice wavered. Jack cupped his hand around Danny's face and kissed his lips lightly. Their lips moved softly and in rhythm, as usual but Jack could still feel the tenseness in Danny. When they parted for air, Jack peppered kisses along Danny's jaw, and down to his neck. He sucked lightly at the taut skin and when he heard Danny moan silently, he nipped at the skin right below Danny's ear.
"Jack.. not right now.. Henley and Merrit will be back in a few seconds.." he whispered, but made no move to make the younger actually stop. Jack licked and sucked at Danny's neck for a few seconds before leaning back up to kiss Danny's lips again.
"You'll never lose me. I will always be there for you. I love you." Jack whispered into Danny's lips. Danny's breath hitched and he nodded, grabbing at Jack's hand that was on his face.
"I love you too."
They could hear the sounds of their friends coming back, so they kissed one last time and pulled apart. Danny cleared his throat and wiped at his eyes as Jack smiled softly at him.
"So next time, Jack, don't stand in front of an open flame, yeah? No more injuries?" Henley laughed as she and Merrit entered the room with a first aid kit and wet hand towels. Jack laughed and looked at Danny, silently promising to him.
"Yeah. Never."
