Despite the nightmare, the Doctor eventually fell asleep again in Jack's arms. Jack carefully eased himself out of the Doctor's arms and laid him down on the couch. Going into the Doctor's room he retrieved a clean blanket for him covering up the sleeping Doctor who had stretched out on the couch in Jack's absence. Jack then went back into the room to clean the bed. He hated cleaning up sick, but someone had to do it and he wasn't about to leave it for Martha. Once the bed was clean, he went back into the living room settling down in one of the chairs to watch the telly. He was still seething quietly over Micha's guard when Martha awoke to get ready for work. Not making the same mistake as last night, Jack only told her the Doctor had a nightmare. When the Doctor awoke a few hours later he seemed confused that he was sleeping on the couch at first. As he came back into awareness, Jack offered him a cup of coffee to help him wake up.

"It's strange to see you drinking coffee," Jack informed him as the Doctor took a sip. He took a seat on the couch next to the Doctor, letting him lean against him.

"It was Ian's suggestion since tea reminds me of the drugs," The Doctor answered. Jack looked at him in surprise.

"I can't believe you actually are listening to Ian," Jack told him.

"I like Ian. He doesn't try to make me talk. Also, he knows how to play chess," The Doctor replied with a smile.

"Then you will be happy to know that you have an appointment with him later this morning," Jack responded. He sighed then ran his hand through his hair. "Listen Doc. I am sorry that I embarrassed you last night by talking to Martha. I was worried about hurting you and I was hoping to get her advice."

"It's my body Jack and my choice. I have already had every other choice taken away from me. Please don't take this one to," The Doctor practically begged.

"It has to be a mutual decision between us and I don't feel right about continuing to have sex with you if it is going to hurt you," Jack explained.

"It didn't hurt," The Doctor told him. Jack narrowed his eyes at him. "Maybe it hurt a little, but it won't always hurt." The last part sounded more like a plea than a statement and Jack remembered that he was the only one who had ever treated the Doctor kindly during sex. "Please don't make me beg, Jack."

"Just promise me if it ever is too painful, you will tell me rather than trying to hide it again," Jack requested of him. The Doctor nodded. Jack kissed the Doctor on the side of the head before standing up. The Doctor was overdue for his pills and needed to take them soon. Going to Martha's room, he retrieved the Doctor's daily medicine from her bathroom. The Doctor made a face at him, but took the pills placing them in his mouth. He swallowed them down with a drink of the coffee. He pouted as Jack gave him his daily injection. Then willingly took the anti-depressant medication without objection.

"Can we go out for a run before we have to leave to speak with Ian?" The Doctor wondered. Jack didn't answer him right away as he took a seat next to the Doctor.

"You're still recovering so we will need to take it easy," Jack responded. The Doctor's face fell. He was feeling restless and needed to burn off energy.

"Then can we have sex instead?" The Doctor wondered. Jack's mouth fell open in surprise at the Doctor's words. The Doctor seemed to realize what he just asked and he sucked his lips in as his face burned with embarrassment. "I'm sorry Jack." Jack thought about it for a moment. He didn't want to hurt the Doctor again, but denying him would break the Doctor's hearts.

"Go get ready to go," Jack told him. The Doctor scrambled off the couch hurrying into the bedroom. Jack got his shoes on, waiting for the Doctor to finish dressing. When time passed and the Doctor still hadn't returned, he went to investigate. Opening the Doctor's bedroom door, he found the Time Lord stretched out naked on his back. His erection was prominent and he looked up at Jack with anticipation. Jack took in his naked body realizing that he hadn't specified as to what the Doctor should get ready for. Toeing his boots off, he climbed up onto the bed next to the Doctor kissing him softly. He ran his hand down the Doctor's body taking him in his hand. The Doctor groaned thrusting his hips but as Jack continued to try to just use his hand he became frustrated.

"Jack," he whined reaching down to unbutton his trousers. Jack let him happy to finally have his own member freed of the constricting trousers. The Doctor rolled on top of him, straddling him as he lined Jack up with his body.

"Oi, you're going to hurt yourself," Jack informed him, grabbing his hips. "I know you are still sore, so why don't you take me this time?" The Doctor shook his head no. Leaning down he nipped Jack's neck.

"I want you," he questioned him. "Don't you want me?"

"Of course, I do," Jack replied immediately. The Doctor nuzzled Jack's neck with his head.

"Please, Jack," The Doctor whispered. Using his strength he rolled the Doctor onto his back again positioning himself between his legs. He reached into the drawer beside the bed pulling out a condom and the lube. He saw the Doctor give the condom a nasty look, but Jack wasn't going to be swayed. He had already allowed the Doctor to convince him to have sex with him again, he wasn't going to risk either of them by not using the condom. Thankfully, the look was the only objection the Doctor raised as Jack prepared his body before pushing himself up into it.

"Better?" Jack questioned and the Doctor nodded. He raised his legs wrapping them around Jack's waist to pull him closer. Jack kept his movements slow but deep as he brought the Doctor over the edge. He wasn't nearly as close and he didn't want to over-stimulate the Doctor. "Done or do you want more?"

"More," The Doctor responded on a whimper. Jack decided to change positions rolling the Doctor onto his side. The Doctor grabbed Jack's hand holding it tightly as Jack continued to move in his body. Finally, Jack found his release deep in the Doctor's body.

"Still want to go for a run?" Jack wondered. He moved away from the Doctor for a moment to dispose of the condom, then lay there cuddling him close.

"Yeah," The Doctor answered sounding sleepy.

"Then we should get dressed or we are going to have to wait until after your therapy session," Jack told him.

"We can wait," The Doctor responded. Turning over he cuddled Jack as they rested before the Doctor's appointment.
