This is sort of like an epilogue...kinda or a fill-in chapter! Also this is really short! Like crazy super short! The other chapters were from 2,000 to 4,000 words. This is just over 1,400! It's like walking into the Twilight Zone! Forgive me!
A few days after Jack and Daniel got back together Dylan walked into the Four Horsemen's apartment.
He looked around the room until his eyes landed on Jack. Walking over to him he jerked him up and slammed him into the nearest wall.
"If you ever pull something like this again I will make you permanently disappear, understand me?"
"Dude, two words; breath mint." Jack stated.
The other Horsemen laughed.
Dylan bit his lip not to. Jack had that effect on people. He could make anyone happy.
"Just don't do anything like this again." Dylan let him go before walking over to Daniel and slapping him on the back of the head, hard.
"Ow! What the hell was that for?" Daniel reached up to rub the sore spot.
"Don't go out drink anymore! Keep it in your pants until you get home. It's your fault the kid ran away."
Daniel visibly winced, but not because of his stinging spot on his head.
After that Daniel was silent for a while, closing everyone off, feeling horribly guilty again. Only when Jack hugged him and kissed did he come out of it.
The Four Horsemen were currently having dinner with Donnie in a huge, fancy restaurant. Jack was seated between the control freak and his brother.
Merritt was telling them a story which was making them all laugh.
Jack felt a hand creep into his underneath the table. He looked over to see Daniel looking at him with so much love and affection that his heart swelled. He smiled and leaned over to kiss his lips.
"Okay. Break it up. We see enough of this at home." Merritt commented rolling his eyes.
They broke their kiss much to their annoyance. It's been three glorious months since Jack and Daniel ran into each other at the park that fateful night. The young couple acted as though they were on their honeymoon no matter where they were or what time of the day it was. Their lips were hardly ever apart, not to mention sex almost every night. Much to which Merritt complained about.
"We'll be hearing them later on tonight." The Mentalist muttered quietly, but Donnie still heard him.
He groaned softly, "I will never be able to un-hear that!"
Jack chuckled.
Henley engaged Daniel and Merritt in to a small-talk conversation over her new escape routine she came up with.
Donnie took the opportunity to talk to his brother.
"I don't think I've ever seen anyone as happy as you, Jackie."
Glancing over Daniel who bickering with Merritt over something he replied, "I am happy. The happiest I've ever been. He makes me so happy, Don. If something happened and I never saw him again I would go insane, I would slowly die. I was beginning to when we weren't together. I felt as though I would never be happy again. I was depressed. I don't ever want to feel like that again. It scared me."
He leaned in closer to his brother so that no one else would hear him.
"With dad's abuse, mom ignoring us, getting my virginity stolen by some 60 year old man at the age of eleven, and even growing up on the streets, nothing compared to losing Danny. I never wanted to die more than when I left the apartment after seeing Danny in bed with that girl. I just wanted to die and I even considered it; taking my own life. It was just for a brief moment, but the thought was there. It scared me that I sunk that low."
Donnie reached up, resting a hand on the back of Jack's neck and pulled him in close for a hug.
Daniel felt Jack's fingers slip away from his and he looked over to see the two brothers embracing one another tightly.
"I'm sorry you felt that way Jackie. I'm so sorry." Donnie mumbled in his brother's hair.
"It's in the past. I'm fine now." Jack pulled away to look at his brother.
Donnie smiled at him and ruffled up his hair.
Daniel leaned over to his boyfriend once Donnie and Jack were done.
"Is everything okay?"
Jack smiled down at him sweetly, "Never better."
Daniel smiled big, how shocking! But that's just what Jack did to him. He made Daniel feel happy.
"Good."
A few moments passed with small talk and laughter. Daniel leaned close to his boyfriend and whispered into is ear.
"When we get back home I'm taking you to our bedroom. So be prepared to learn a new trick or two."
Jack was in mid-sip of his water and laughed, thus choking on his drink. Daniel and Donnie began patting his back.
"I'm fine," He took a deep breath, " I'm okay guys."
He gave one last little cough.
"What happened Jack?" Henley asked.
"Uh nothing. Nothing." Jack blushed.
"Danny did something to him. Probably said something about sex." Merritt commented as he looked at the menu.
Donnie winced, "Ugh! New rule; when we are out together there will be no mentioning of my little brother having sex. Ever!"
There was a round of laughs.
"We need to get you a girlfriend, Don." Jack suddenly said. He sensed as though his big brother was lonely even though they saw one another often.
"Darling, we're magicians. Not miracle workers." Daniel said with a smirk.
With a glare Donnie said sarcastically, "HaHa! You're so comical!"
"What about Helga?" Henley asked.
"Yeah, she's really cool." Jack agreed.
"I don't know..."
"I saw you checking her out a few times." Jack interrupted him.
Donnie blushed and Daniel couldn't help but notice a deep resemblance between the Wilder brothers. They had the same blush, but Daniel thought it looked better on Jack of course. It was more adorable.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Ask her out Donnie."
"No. It would be awkward. She's like, seven years older than me."
"I'm ten years older than Jack." Daniel reminded him.
"And I'm 20 years older than Henley." Merritt said, not looking up from his menu.
"Merritt," Henley looked at him, "We are not even together."
"Not yet, Sweetheart."
Henley looked away from him with a small glare, but her cheeks were tinted pink.
Jack continued to pester his older brother until Donnie said a bit too loud, "Okay! I'll think about it! Alright?"
Jack smiled, "Good!"
Donnie couldn't help but to let out a small chuckle, "You are so immature."
"You all call me 'kid' so..." Jack trailed off as he shrugged.
Daniel rested his arm on the back of Jack's chair and leaned in close. He had the need to be close to his boyfriend. Almost as if he let Jack out of his sight then Jack would disappear. The mentalist, escape artist and lawyer watched as Daniel kissed Jack's left temple. Jack looked at him and gave his signature smile. As cheesy as it sounds they got lost in one another's eyes.
They were caught up in love, passion, and affection. They kissed again, one of Jack's hand coming to rest on Daniel's cheek.
"You guys are so sweet you're making my teeth rot." Merritt commented just as the waiter came to take their orders.
If only they knew the dangers that were to come within a few months time. Daniel might ought to keep a closer eye on Jack.
