(Note: This is going to be a WillxJack songfic. If you're wondering, this will be worked on at the same time as my other fanfic, Fin, so fans of that, don't be glum. Not sure how long this will be, probably only a few chapters.)

You never know how much I really love you
You'll never know how much I really care

The lights in Jack's apartment were dim, faded to a soft yellow glow of a high school prom dance floor. The small table in front of the couch had been pushed back with the couch itself against the bar of the kitchen counter. The space in front was clear except for the rug. Soft music was playing on the stereo on the side wall, a collection of old Beatles songs.

Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear

Jack's frame appeared in the doorway of his bedroom, in a light green sweater top and black jeans. He was holding a photograph in one hand, and a broom in the other. His face was plastered in a mask of happiness, his eyes glowed with passionate joy. He twirled over to the rug, and sang along with the song playing.

Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you, oo

The broom became his dance partner. They sashayed onto the rug and Jack placed the photograph at the top of the broom's handle. There were clasps on the back of the picture's frame, and it held the picture of a familiar man's face onto the broom. Jack began to move himself and the broom to the tune of the song. "Listen, do you want to know a secret" he sang, staring at the photograph as if he was speaking directly to it.

Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
I'm in love with you, oo

Jack closed his eyes and continued to sing, imagining that some one else had taken the place of the broom. The imaginary man and the apparently love-struck Jack continued to twirl on the rug that had now become a ballroom dance floor in his mind. He and the man were each in a suit, surrounded by loved ones. Jack slid his fingers along the rose petals on the rose attached to the lapel of his partner's jacket. The man smiled at him and moved in for a kiss.

I've known a secret for a week or two
Nobody knows just we two

Jack's brain was brought back to normalcy by the kiss. The cold plastic sheeting of the picture frame was nothing like the warm, inviting lips of the man in his daydream. Eyes still closed, he pulled away from the photograph, trying to bring back the perfect image that had just escaped his mind. He didn't hear the doorknob turn and the door open, and it was too late. He twirled right into the arms of the person who had just entered.


Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear

Jack opened his eyes, and stared up into the face of a shocked and slightly embarrassed Will. "The drag queen style suits you" Will said, masking his shock behind a joke. Jack sprung away, his cheeks red.

"Tell me Will, when are you going to move that fat around your stomach to your ass so you have something for the boyfriends to grab?" Jack retorted, letting his speeding heart return to its normal pace. Before the older man could respond, Jack had sprung over to the couch. He removed the photograph from the top of the broom handle and shoved it under a pillow discreetly. "So what do you want?" he asked.

"Just reminding you that we have to leave in 10 minutes for the restaurant" Will said, grinning at his best friend. "And please, don't bring Cher, she'll make everyone else look like hags." Jack glared at Will for insulting his rare and precious Cher doll. Will winked at him and left, shutting the door behind him.

Jack made sure he was gone before reaching back into the couch and pulling out the photograph. Will's face beamed up from it, a photograph taken just a year or so before during a vacation. Jack glared at it for a few moments, then smiled, his anger dispersing. He walked back into his room, the photograph still in his hand, humming to the end of the song.

I'm in love with you, oo, oo
