Logan shot the other man a glare, holding the wall to make sure he didn't slip. In fact it wasn't until he was drying off that he fell again, landing hard on the tile and wincing in pain.

"Fuck," he swore, rolling onto his side before slowly attempting to get up again.

Jack had just wrapped his towel around his waist when Logan went down. He was on his knee next to his husband in an instant.

"Damn, that was a hard fall. Are you okay?" he asked, thinking for a second that if Logan wanted to be in pain in the morning he could have just asked.Jack could have baited him into a real fight.

"I only kind of felt it," Logan admitted, rubbing his hip as he spoke. "I don't know if that's good or bad."

[captainjack]

"You'll feel it in the morning," he said. "If you feel anything over your hangover. Here, let me help you up. You want to soak in the tub for a bit? Might help sober you up."

[echolls_cursed]

"If I say yes will that make me easy?" Logan snapped.

He paused a moment and then ducked his head, looking a little ill. "Sorry, I'm sorry- I'm just drunk," he said quietly.

[captainjack]

"Logan, I know, okay? You don't have to be sorry. Let's just soak and I won't tease you anymore. I promise," Jack replied as he guided Logan to the tub full of hot water.

[echolls_cursed]

Logan nodded a little, letting Jack guide him into the water. Once he was in he sank down deep, looking pensive and tired as he stared at the wall.

"I hate my birthday," he said quietly. "You're lucky that you don't know when yours really is."

[captainjack]

"I don't even know how old I really am," he shrugged."It's something I don't really think about. I haven't had a birthday since I joined the Time Agency and started bouncing around the universe. It was just kind of pointless."

[echolls_cursed]

Logan said nothing, he simply moved closer so he could lean against the other man, offering and seeking comfort all at once.

Jack wrapped an arm around Logan and turned his head to kiss his wet hair.

"Let's do something for our anniversary," he said after a long moment. "Do you want a small party or do you want to go to our beach?"

[echolls_cursed]

"Yeah, let's have a fucking party where everyone can turn up and flirt with you and dance with you on our anniversary," Logan muttered. "Of course you'd think to have a party for that."

It was the booze talking though, and he sank deeper into the water as he moved away again.

[captainjack]

Jack went quiet at the bitter remark and sat still, just waiting for Logan to sink and not come up. There was nothing he could say or do to make it better so he resolved simply to not make things worse.

[echolls_cursed]

Logan stayed under until he had to come up for air, and he gasped as he broke the surface.

He didn't say anything though. He was angry and tense, and everything hurt. Every thought, every feeling... HE was in one of his moods, and he hated that. He hated that sometimes when he sank there was no way to pull him back up.

[captainjack]

Jack sat, still and quiet. After what seemed like an age he dared to reach out. To lay his hand on Logan's leg. He didn't do well when he couldn't touch Logan, especially when he was naked and so close.

[echolls_cursed]

Logan didn't pull away from the touch, staring at Jack's hand for a long moment before speaking. He was starting to sober up a little, and it showed.

"Sometimes I think we don't really get each other," he said, breaking the silence.

[captainjack]

"I think that too. Sometimes," Jack admitted. "Everything about our pasts is so different...I'm sorry I don't live up to your expectations. I try. I try to be a good husband."

[echolls_cursed]

"You say it like that and you make me sound like an asshole," Logan replied with a frown.

"Do you think I ask for too much?"
