Title: Chapter 5 of "Ask and Thou Shalt Receive"
Rated: PG13
Disclaimer: See chapter 1
Ennis stared at Jack. "No...that didn't...no one could do that..." His jaw was hanging open, but even as he said the words, he didn't believe them. He had known all along such a thing was definitely possible. He had known and so hadn't let Jack have him, but it had happened anyway. Fuck me! he thought. Then, his thoughts strayed back to the re-creation he had just heard. Did he hear something about a Randall?
"Who's...Randall?" He clenched his fists at his sides as he asked the question, afraid to hear the answer.
"That's what I didn't want to tell ya, but I guess yeh've a right ta know." Jack sighed, and shifted his weight (the best he could, practically immobilized as he was).
"If it's what I think it is Jack, I don' wanna hear it."
"I dunno if it's what yeh think it is, Ennis."
"Were yeh...sleepin' with Randall?" Ennis' heart broke as he spoke the words. He had always thought of Jack as his. Only his. Jack may have had sex with Lureen, but no one else should ever have taken Jack the way Ennis did.
"I'm sorry Ennis. I needed...I needed you. But I couldn' have yeh. Yeh wouldn' lemme. So I took the nex' bes' thing."
Ennis grunted and moved his chair away from its spot, next to Jack's bed. "I gotta...I gotta go."
"No, Ennis, please don'." Jack pleaded with him. Begged him, even, to stay.
"Jack! I gotta go fer a fuckin' minute er I'll bash yore head in like those guys! Jus' give me a fuckin' minute to sort it all out! Ok?"
Jack leaned his head against the pillow and let himself cry, again, for what seemed like the millionth time that day. This time he let the tears flow freely, he let the sobs escape his lungs. The pain came from his stomach, where there was an aching feeling. He knew Ennis would find out, he had just hoped it wouldn't happen like this.
Ennis stormed out of the room and walked down the length of the hall to the public bathroom. He wrenched the door open and flew inside. Tears were already streaming down his cheeks. He slammed it behind him and leaned against the door. A loud scream finally escaped his lips. It was almost a mix between a gut wrenching sob and a bellow. He hollered as loud as he could. Him and Jack cried concurrently for the next 5 minutes. Finally, he regained his self-control. He still shook, a little, from the impact of the loud, terrible bawling, but he was quieter.
He rose slowly and splashed cold water on his face. God, he couldn't believe Jack would betray what they had so easily. But, then again, Jack never had much of a choice. Ennis didn't give him one. Oh, sure, it wounded Ennis never to see Jack, but he figured Jack need more sex than he did. Jack needed more than emotional, he needed physical. Which Ennis always thought odd, since he was the dominant one, most of the time.
He walked deliberately out of the bathroom, holding his calm as best he could. Jack's room looked so far away, but Ennis could hear the crying noises coming from it. He took a deep breath and opened the door. "Jack?"
"Ennis! Oh God, almighty, I thought yeh had left ferever!"
A/N: I know it's short, sorry...but I thought that was a good ending, and it was late when I wrote this, and I wanted to get a post up today.
