(AN: Hello. Here is chapter 10. Sorry for not updating. Everything has been chaotic. Please review. Reviews make me happy.)

Jack let the ball fall back into his hand. He was very bored and he didn't know exactly where Nathan was. "Jack, I told you to stop doing that."

Jack smiled as the ball flew in Nathan's direction. Nathan growled as he ducked and the ball sailed by. "That wasn't funny the first time so it's not funny now."

Jack laughed knowing that Nathan was annoyed.

"You're not taking this seriously. You could be killing yourself faster," Nathan said, sitting down next to him. Jack leaned against him.

"I'm bored and I'm fine, Scientist. Don't worry." Nathan couldn't help but worry and he knew that Jack was experiencing more effects from the chemical. They were done breaking down the whole chemical. They now had to create an antidote.

Jack was already experiencing more severe headaches and nose-bleeds. Jack nuzzled against Nathan's neck.

"Stop worrying, you're making me nauseous." Nathan tried to relax because Jack had become extremely empathic to him and anyone else around.

"Sorry," Nathan said, running his hand through Jack's hair. Jack sighed against his neck. Nathan moved away from Jack and kissed him.

This was something he hadn't done in awhile with Jack. Jack broke the kiss and kissed Nathan on his neck.

"I've missed this," Jack said.

"Me too," Nathan said kissing him again. Jack fell back on the couch and Nathan hovered over him.

Nathan slid his hand up Jack's shirt as he deepened the kiss. Jack moaned in pleasure as Nathan slid his fingers over his nipple.

"You're more sensitive to touch now, right?" The scientist fingers traced Jack's skin lightly. Jack moaned again.

"I'll take that as a yes." Jack growled at him.

"Stop being a tease." Nathan chuckled and kissed Jack again.

"Yes, Sheriff," Nathan growled against Jack's lips.

--------

Jack felt boneless as he lay on top of Nathan. Nathan kissed him on top of the head and ran his hands down his sweaty back.

"You feel better?" Nathan asked.

"Yes, much better," Jack said tiredly.

Nathan smiled. "I'm glad you feel better."

Jack nodded against his chest. Jack started to doze off and Nathan shifted slightly on the couch.

"Do you still have a headache?"

"Yes but it's not bad," Jack mumbled.

Nathan sighed and relaxed but it didn't stop his worrying. He closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Jack stayed somewhat awake. He could still feel Nathan's worry but he was glad the scientist was relaxing.

Jack silently got off of Nathan. He heard Nathan move and then fall silent. He walked to the kitchen with practiced easy.

His head was now throbbing. He leaned against the counter. His head felt like it was going to explode.

He sat down on the floor and leaned against the cabinets. He growled in pain and held his head.

"Nathan!" Jack yelled as he curled into a ball. He heard Nathan running towards him.

"Jack!" He felt arms wrap around him.

"My head," Jack whimpered. He took his hands from around his head and lifted them to Nathan's temple.

Nathan could swear Jack locked eyes with him. Jack's nose started to bleed and Nathan could feel Jack in his mind.

Nathan was surprised when Jack's hands dropped off of his head and he went limp. Nathan picked him up and held him tightly.

"Jack, why won't you help me out?" Nathan walked up the stairs to Jack's room. He placed him on the bed and walked to the bathroom.

He came back out with a washcloth. He wiped the blood off of Jack's face.

He climbed into the bed. He wrapped his arm around Jack and pulled him against him. He kissed Jack on the back of the neck and closed his eyes.

--------

Jack woke up feeling light headed. He tried to move but he was pushed back down.

"Nice to see you're awake," Nathan said, looking him over.

"You're not getting up though. You need to rest."

Jack frowned. "I'm fine." Jack tried to move again but Nathan wouldn't let him.

"Every time I ask you about your headaches you give me a lame answer. You have to be truthful with me."

Jack pushed Nathan off of him and tried to get up. Nathan pushed him back on to the bed. "We can do this all day Jack."

Jack scowled and threw Nathan back hard without touching him. Nathan flew into the wall. His eyes widened and he felt angry and hurt.

Jack frowned and started to get up.

"I'm so sorry Nathan," Jack said, coming towards him.

Nathan moved out of his reach. "I'm going to my lab. I'll be back later."

Nathan got off the floor and hurried out of the room.

Jack could feel the anger and hurt that Nathan gave off. It made him sick to his stomach.

"What did I do? I didn't mean to do that," Jack said to himself. He walked back to his bed and sat down.

He took off the black cloth and his blue eyes shined with tears. "I'm sorry," he whispered, as the tears started to fall.
