WILL & GRACE'S APARTMENT (Monday)
Will woke up and rolled over. A smile spread across his face as his eyes took in the presence of a sleeping Jack. He looked so adorable and peaceful. Will wondered to himself, for the millionth time, why it took him so long to discover his love for Jack. Jack made him complete. When Michael spilt or broke something in the apartment, Will went mad, but now, he really didn't care if Jack broke even his most prized possession. It didn't matter, because Jack was all he need. Material things were worthless next to Jack. He was priceless. He was Will's. Will reached out a hand and gently stroked the side of Jack's face, being careful not to wake him. Jack stirred slightly and Will contemplated waking him up, so he could look into those gorgeous sleepy blue eyes and tell him how much he loves him. He decided against it. Slowly, Will got out of bed, and soundlessly left the room.

Will returned to his bedroom twenty minutes later, complete with a tray of breakfast for himself and Jack. He placed the tray down on the side and climbed onto the bed.
"Jack" he said softly, playing with his hair.
Jack didn't move, but Will knew he was awake. A little smile appeared on Jack's face.
"Oh well, I'll have to go and see if Mr. Zamir wants to share breakfast in bed with me instead".
"I'm awake" Jack said, laughing and opening his eyes.
"Morning baby" Will said.
"Mmm morning" Jack replied, looking up at Will.
"Sit up, I've got breakfast".
"That's the fourth morning in a row. Anyone would think you're trying to get into my pants Will Truman" Jack said, raising an eyebrow.
"Too late, already have. Now I'm after your money".
"I knew you were too good to be true".
Will held Jack's hands in his and pulled him up into a sitting position. He then collected the tray from the side and put in on Jack's lap. They were sat opposite each other and ate in silence, exchanging looks and smiling constantly.
"I wonder what our friends are gonna think" Jack commented.
"They'd probably think were mad, stupid, crazy… and that we both needed our heads testing…" Will replied. "…I can't wait to tell them".
"I'm looking forward to seeing the look on your mum's face" Jack laughed.
"I bet you are…" Will said, grimacing. "…I'm gonna get in the shower".
"Do you want some company?" Jack asked.
"Well seeing as Johnny Depp is unlikely to make an appearance, you'll do".
Jack hit Will with a pillow. Will shot up out of the bed. Jack moved the tray on his lap onto the bed and chased Will into the bathroom.

Will was standing in the living area, looking into the mirror and doing up his tie. He smiled to himself as he heard Jack approach him from his bedroom. Jack stood behind Will and put his arms around Will's waist.
"Come back to bed and keep me warm" Jack said seductively, kissing Will's neck.
"Sorry, no can do I'm afraid" Will replied, enjoying the feel of Jack's soft lips on his skin.
"Please".
"Sorry Jack".
"This is so unfair. Do you have to go to work?"
"Yes Jack, I do…" Will said firmly, turning around and kissing Jack on the forehead.
"Oh" Jack said miserably looking down to the floor.
"Oh Jack…" Will said, running a hand through Jack's messy hair. "…of course I'd rather stay here with you, but I have commitments and deadlines to honour. I called in sick on Friday and we've just spent the last three days in bed together… now I have to go and pay for your clothes and food".
Jack laughed and removed his arms from Will's waist. Will held Jack's face in his hands and kissed him.
"I love you…" he told Jack. "…anyway, I thought you were going to see Karen today?".
"Oh, can't you do it?" Jack asked, pulling a face.
"You have to tell her Jack, you're her best friend. She's not gonna be happy about us being a couple and you'll know how to persuade her".
"Ok, I'll do it" Jack yawned, sitting down on the sofa.
"Well, I'll see you tonight. I'll cook us dinner".
"Oh, I'm going out tonight. Don't wait up" Jack told Will.
"Where you going?" Will asked, turning away from the mirror to look at Jack.
"I have a date".
"What?" Will demanded, his heart beginning to race.
"Come on Will, you know I don't do one man relationships".
"But, what… I mean-".
"Will…" Jack interrupted. "…I'm just playing with you. You've gotta lighten up. There's only one man I'm interested in and I've just spent three fantastic days in bed with him".
Jack kissed Will and Will smiled.
"So it was fantastic, was it?" Will asked, smirking.
"It sure was. I never knew you could be such an animal in the bedroom".
"I aim to please…" Will said modestly. "…I've gotta go to work now sweetie".
Jack stood up and walked over to the door with Will. He put his arms around Will's waist and kissed him.
"I'll see you later" he said to Will, smiling.
"Bye honey" Will said back, opening the door and closing it behind him.
Jack stood still for a few moments, smiling to himself. He then walked back over to the sofa, sat down and picked up the phone, dialling out a number.
"Karen Walker, soon to be Finster" Karen answered.
"Hey Karen, um, do you fancy coming over later?" Jack asked.
"Oh honey, that's so sweet of you to ask… no".
"I've just bought some gay porn" Jack said.
"…ok" Karen replied.

JACK'S APARTMENTKaren let herself into Jack's apartment. She walked over to Jack, who was standing by his sofa, a drink for Karen waiting in his hand.
"Hey Kare"
"Hi poodle"
"I've got a drink for you" Jack said, handing Karen the glass.
"Honey, you know me so well".
Karen took a sip and placed the glass down on the table. She looked at Jack who was biting his lip and fidgeting with his hands.
"Something wrong Jackie?".
"There's something I have to tell you…" Jack said, holding Karen's hands. "…maybe you should sit down".
"What is it honey?" Karen asked, allowing Jack to lead her over to the sofa to sit down.
"Well… um… you know how, er… I'm gay and… well Will is also-"
"This isn't about you and Will shacking up is it?" Karen asked, interrupting.
"Well yeah, it is".
"Oh honey, that's old news. Will filled me in on the whole gay story last week when you disappeared".
"I'm gonna kill Will, he said I had to tell you and that you were gonna freak out…" Jack breathed a sigh of relief. "…so you're not disgusted and appalled?"
"Of course not, I mean, it was gonna happen at some point anyway, you've had practically every other gay man in New York, will was the only one left".
"You know, I really love him… and the sex is-".
"Spare me the details…" Karen interrupted. "…now on to more important things… Lyle and I have sent a date".
"Oh my God…" Jack replied, becoming excited. "…when?".
"In three weeks".
"I'm gonna make such a beautiful bridesmaid" Jack said dreamily.
"Jackie, come on, you can't be the bridesmaid… that's Will's job. I want you to be my maid of honour".
"Then what will Grace be?" Jack asked, confused.
"Page boy" Karen replied matter-of-factly.
"Oh yeah, how silly of me".

WILL & GRACE'S APARTMENTWill and Jack were sitting together on the sofa, watching TV. Jack had his head leaning against Will's shoulder and Will had his arm around him. The phone began ringing. Will had put it on his lap so he didn't have to get up if it rang.
"Hello" he said into the phone.
"Hi" came Grace's voice at the other end.
"Hey sweetie, how's Cambodia?".
"Oh great, yeah. I'm having a wonderful time out here".
"Really? In Cambodia?" Will asked, a little confused.
"Um, yeah… they've really spruced the place up since I was last here. Anyway, you and Jack, spill".
"Things are perfect…" Will said, looking down at Jack.
"Awwww that's so sweet. I'm so happy for you guys".
"Thanks Grace. Oh hey, Karen is getting married in three weeks".
"Three weeks? That soon?".
"Yeah. Are you able to come back?" Will asked.
"Sure. Me and… Leo, will just come back a bit earlier. I wouldn't miss Karen's wedding. There's gonna be cake right?".
"And Leo doesn't mind leaving doctors without borders?".
"Will, we'll… both be there. I'll talk to you soon, missing you, bye".
"Bye".
Will put the phone down and stood up from the sofa, turning the TV off. He held out a hand to Jack and pulled him to his feet.
"Jack McFarland, would you care to join me in the bedroom?".
"Only if your intentions are purely dishonourable Will Truman" Jack replied, smirking.
"Of course they are".
Will kissed Jack and lead him to his bedroom.
