Thanks to Spiderstring, Frek, Jessymama, Sophia, Pip3, awesomepossum, and Street Spirit for reviewing!

This is skipping some time forward into the movie, I know, but I want to do mainly the scenes where Ennis and Jack are together.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seeing Jack Twist again was unreal.

Ennis didn't know how else to describe it. It was like Brokeback was another world, a dream one, which had no right to come into contact with his normal, routine life in Riverton, Wyoming. Now that the two worlds had collided, he was nearly to the point of seeing stars.

When he had waited four hours upon that goddamned couch, smoking and drinking alternatively, it had occurred to Ennis that there was something very wrong with this picture. Why was so nervous that he was to the point of completely ignoring his family? Why did he feel as if the point of living would suddenly slip away if Jack didn't show up today? And how the hell was he going to react if he did show?

Ennis knew that he loved Alma, of course. And he most definitely loved his two beautiful daughters. He wondered how many types of love there were in the universe, if it was possible that he could have feelings for his wife, and yet have his heart ache for Jack.

He wondered how this could this feel so right, when it went against everything that he believed. But when he was with Jack, something just clicked. He felt free and peaceful. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew that it was not true peace, rather the eye of a storm. Nevertheless…

Kissing Jack again, holding him in his arms, was like being able to clasp sunshine so close to him that it lit up his entire being. It was an amazing sensation, but it brought with it the fear that he would be burned alive by its intensity.

The time to leave had come all too soon. He forced himself to remove Jack's arm from around him and sit up. Jack sat and looked contemplative as Ennis slowly searched the room for the clothes that had been so rapidly discarded the night before.

Ennis glanced over at Jack again, noting that he still hadn't moved. Ennis knew him well enough to recognize that he was cooking up some sort of scheme.

Whatever it is, I can't have no part in it, he told himself. It's over now. It has to be. We'll get dressed, leave here, and go our separate ways. There's nothing more we can do. If you can't fix it…

And then Jack mentioned Brokeback. Ennis told himself that he was going to refuse right up to the point when he said yes. The chance to go back there and try to recapture the glory and the happiness of that summer was too much for him to resist. The need overshadowed the confusion and the guilt.

Ennis rushed home, packed his things, and quickly said goodbye to his wife and daughters. The look on Alma's face haunted him as he walked out the door and he wondered if he could really go through with this, and if it was worth it.

When he climbed into the car and looked over at Jack's smiling face, he had his answer.
