Enjoy! ;)

Night have fallen on New York, stars glistening in the dark sky. They were cuddled together, Cal resting on Jack's chest, hugging him tightly as if he'd let go he would disappear into thin air. Jack was slowly caressing his dark hair, soothing him. They had just shared a night full of love and passion, and now they were recovering from the aftermath. Cal couldn't stop admiring Jack's wedding ring, which perfectly fit on his finger. Even if they were now married, he couldn't help but worry about something bad would happen to them. Maybe people wouldn't attack him personally, because he was rich, or at least they'd think so. His name was still popular in high society. If someone was to attack one of them it would be Jack, and he didn't want anything to happen to him. Why people needed to be like this? Couldn't they accept the fact that they loved each other and were happy? Was it a crime to love someone this much?

"Hey, you're okay?" Jack seemed to have sensed him becoming tense.

"Yeah.. I was just deep in though" He said barely audible.

"Care to share it?" Cal looked at him and Jack caressed his cheek with his thumb.

"I'm afraid" He started, "Afraid for us, for you"

"Why? Aren't you happy with me?"

"Yes I am, I'm just afraid of something bad happening to you, I don't want you to get hurt"

"What do you mean?" Jack was confused by now.

"I'm afraid of some people being against us, not accepting our relationship and the fact we're married, maybe they won't do anything to me because my name is still known in society, but you'd be in danger" He grabbed his head with his hands, "If something happened to you, I wouldn't recover, I wouldn't even forgive myself"

"I see what you mean" Jack said, taking both of his hands in his own, "We'll be okay, don't worry" He kissed him on the mouth. Cal smiled on the kiss, he knew how to make him feel better.

"You're just too precious to me" He placed his head into the crook of his neck, "I love you so much" He whispered against his neck, before tracing kisses to his jawline. Jack passed his hand into his smooth hair, before kissing his cheek.

"Love you too little patoot" He whispered in his ear. Cal frowned and looked at him.

"What did you just call me?" He couldn't help a smile on his lips.

"Little patoot, it suits you" Jack grinned. Cal shook his head, and couldn't resist a grin.

"You're despairing sometimes, really" He said, trying to keep his seriousness.

"You're my little patoot!" Suddenly Jack hugged him, surprising him. He gasped from surprise and joined him in his laugh, and kissed him again on the mouth.

"We could go somewhere" Jack said, still lying in bed.

"Where?" Cal was getting dressed.

"California"

"I never went there before"

"I did, I worked a bit in Santa Monica, not far from the pier" Jack said, propping himself on his elbow, "I wanna take you there"

"Really?" Jack nodded.

"We'd drink cheap beers and ride the roller coaster 'till we throw up" He smiled.

"I've never done that before, I warn you" Cal answered, trying to hold back a smile, "Sounds exciting, but a bit improper for my taste" He turned to look at Jack and suddenly he found him very attractive posing like this.

"What's proper to you?" Jack asked. Cal came closer to the bed, his shirt half buttoned and his sleeves rolled up above his elbows. He leaned in toward him and whispered in his ear.

"This.." He deposed a light kiss under his ear, making him shiver, "You know, I still can't believe we're married"

"But we are.. forever" Jack hugged him tightly. Despite Jack's conviction, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something bad would happen to them. He tried not to think about it too much and focus on the moment. He forced himself to think about their future together, that they would have a happy life, and he promised himself that if something bad happened to Jack, the one who did that would not escape unscathed.
