Challenge: Kings post episode six tag
Spoilers: Up to Last weeks Episode Six, Brotherhood

Genre: Dark light, Hurt/com maybe
Characters/Pairings: David and Jack, maybe Pre-slash I’m not sure
Summary: David needs to talk to Jack after everything that’s happened. Part of my Jack and David AU found here.
Author's Notes: I’d like to thank artemisphoenix without her I would have kept putting off watching Brotherhood and this would not have been written. And as always Jack and David, mostly David will not listen and just do their own thing, all my plans just go out the window when I’m writing these two so I really have no idea where this is going but I hope you like it.
“I’ve missed you,” David called down the center row as Jack started walking away.
“What?” Jack said stopping and half turning to face his blond companion.
“Talking with you, drinking with you, sitting with you, just being with you sir,” David said as he turned to fully face Jack and took a step forward and down the red carpet toward his Prince.
“We can’t, my mother still-” Jack started before David cut him off.
“Sir, I have stayed out of court life in every way I could. I do not even speak if there is a way to avoid it and if still the Queen thinks I do too much then I can not please her and I do not care to,” David said as he closed the distance to stand before Jack.
“No, sometimes she just can not be pleased,” Jack said sitting down in the pews, “but you should be more careful of saying that aloud.”
“I trust you not to tell her sir,” David said as he sat down across from Jack, “what was your first kill like? Do you still see his face when you close your eyes?”
“Yes… I was a fresh lieutenant, less than a month out of training,” Jack stopped for a moment closing his eyes, “it was a day like any other, not even my first battle,” Jack said opening his eyes again to look at David, “he ran past the main line with two others. I fired three times, hitting him twice in the chest before he fell just feet from me. The look on his face…” Jack finished trailing off.
“I didn’t see his face. He was facing you so I have that I guess,” David answered back looking at Jack.
“Killing is hard, it should be, but killing for your King is something that has to be done.”
“I didn’t kill for my King,” David said as he rose from his place before kneeling before Jack, “I killed for my Lord, my Prince.”
“I-I,” Jack started looking down at David, “why, why me before my father after what I have done,” Jack asked as he reached out a hand and just softly touched one of the light bruises on David’s face, bruises he had put there.
“You’re a good soldier, a good man. Yes, you have this darkness inside you, I’ve seen it, felt it. But I can take it, help you control it and I will Sir,” David said.
“Do you know what you’re offering?” Jack asked as he rose to stand before David, “What do you know of the darkness within me?”
“I’ve seen it, that night in the club, the way you protect others. Last night,” David said as he looked up at Jack, “it’s not a lust for death, but a distain for life, your own but never others. I won’t stop standing by your side.”
“And if you had to choose between my father and me?” Jack asked as he held out his right hand.
“I-I,” David started before stopping and dropping his gaze from Jack’s eyes to his hand, “I can not answer that without committing treason,” he said before kissing Jacks knuckles.
