Hard Work

Jack was starting to think he may have made a mistake when he agreed to travel with this new Doctor. He was so different. He looked and acted so young. And what was with that bowtie?

But the most irksome new personality trait was that he seemed to be far more tactile than his last body. Jack was being driven crazy with how much the Doctor was touching him. The Time Lord would playfully nudge Jack's shoulder then stay standing too close. His fingertips would touch Jack's hand when the Doctor handed him a tool or a cup of tea. It always sent a shiver through him. All Jack wanted to do was grab him, grip that gorgeous hair of his, and snog him senseless. Okay, that wasn't all Jack wanted to do, but none of that was going to happen, and that's what was really driving him crazy.

Tonight had been the worst. The Doctor wanted to go to some restaurant he said was "awesome." The Doctor had explained that on that planet the custom was for the person who set the dinner reservations to bring a companion with them to share the meal. The companion needed to wear a special bunch of flowers on his lapel so the waiters know who was who.

Jack didn't mind wearing flowers, but did the Doctor have to stand so close while he pinned them on. Jack could feel the heat from the Doctor's breath on his neck and did he have to touch Jack's chest like that? He tried to keep his breathing as even as he could so the Doctor wouldn't realize how much he was being affected.

It took everything Jack had to stay in control through dinner. The food was very good, but did the Doctor have to lick his spoon like that? And what was with all the alcohol? Then when dessert came the Doctor explained that it was the custom for them to eat out of the same dish with the same spoon.

The dessert was some kind of chocolate and fruit mousse, but instead of taking a bite and handing the spoon to Jack, the Doctor kept feeding him! All Jack wanted to do was go back to the TARDIS, go to his room, and take care of the rock-hard problem in his pants. Thank the Goddess for his long coat.

As soon as dinner was finished Jack hurried them both back home, said good-night, and started heading for his bedroom for some much needed relief. That's when the Doctor stopped him by saying his name in a dejected voice.

"Jack," the Doctor called after him. "What am I doing wrong?"

Jack felt like a heel for running off so quickly. He didn't want to hurt the Doctor's feelings, but how could he explain his problem to the clueless Time Lord? Jack turned around to face him.

"I thought I was doing it right," the Doctor started. "I've studied the Twentieth and Twenty-first centuries for a long time. I'm sure I did everything I was suppose to."

"What are you talking about?" Jack wasn't sure where this conversation was going, but it was clear that the Doctor was distraught.

"You, Jack," The Doctor stared at him with hurt in his eyes. "I've tried to show you how I feel, but I can't seem to get a reaction from you. I've given you flowers; I've taken you to dinner; I've wined and dined you. I've even feed you chocolate!" The Doctor looked down and rubbed the back of his neck reminiscent of the last Doctor. "I didn't think you'd be so much hard work," he said softly, his voice sad and gloomy.

A thought sparked in Jack’s brain and he mentally ran quickly through all those times that he had been too turned-on by the Doctor to stay in the man's company and one thing suddenly became clear. Jack's eyes went wide as the realization hit him.

The Doctor had just taken him on a date and had been trying to seduce him.

Jack was grinning from ear to ear as he walked over to the Doctor and began to untie his bowtie. "You know Doc," Jack said in a sultry voice as he pulled the tie off and started unbuttoning his Time Lord's shirt. "If you wanted me, all you had to do was ask."

Prompt Used: The Doctor never thought Jack could be so much work.

LMAO! That's awesome!

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It was fun to turn the tables on Jack.

[yamx]

LOL - there they are, both desperately trying to be right by the other, and getting driven mad by problems that could be solved simply by *communicating.*

For a genius and a clever bloke, they're pretty dense.

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

Yes, they are. You just want to bang their heads together.

[a-leprechaun.livejournal.com]

Okay, so that was a big pile of D'AWWWWWWW CUTE.

(I suppose it helps that Eleven/Jack is my pet ship.)

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Eleven is starting to grow on me.

[kensieg.livejournal.com]

Very nice! Eleven seems to be happier than Nine or Ten.

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I tried to make him happier.

[beachy-geek.livejournal.com]

It's about time!!! Eleven has grown on me, and he does seem to be less closed off--I think he could be the Doctor who finally lets Jack into his heart.

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

I hope so. It would be nice if canon would throw us fangirls a bone.

[redpearl-cao.livejournal.com]

The Doctor should just jumped Jack, he'd understand that!

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

Now that would be an interesting story to write.

[dshael.livejournal.com]

:D Too cute!

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[navaan]

This is really adorable.

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I like the idea that Jack can be just as clueless as the Doctor.

[alt_universe_me.livejournal.com]

Aww.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

I love the Doctor trying be seductive and Jack being oblivious! :)

(Can I say MOAR without seeming obnoxious? If so, MOAR PLZ)

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

We'll have to see if there is more or not. I'm still trying to finish the next chapter of my AU Nine/Jack story and I still have two more to go on my bingo card. Maybe after that.

[charie-caphine.livejournal.com]

And who can blame Jack for not getting it!
This is so sweetly satisfying. =)

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

Yes, he's been turned down so many times he gave up.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. It really does mean a lot to me.

[amythest-n-ice.livejournal.com]

I LOVE that Jack didn't register blatant flirting.

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

Yes. I got a kick out of turning the tables on Jack.

[rrr-nightingale.livejournal.com]

I like it!%))) They are so funny when they switch the roles :D

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I really had fun writing this.

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

oh god so much love for this. <3<3<3 i adore Eleven/Jack, so much - I can't get inside Eleven's head yet, but i'm sure it'll happen. This is /marvelous/, and I LOVE that Jack is too out of it to register obvious flirting. *lovelovelove* <3<3<3

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

It struck me as funny to reverse their roles and have Jack the one who was clueless.

[ebineez01.livejournal.com]

that was the most fabulous response to that prompt! Loved it :)

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it.

[ravenja1170.livejournal.com]

hehe, so cute! :D

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[silvermoon07.livejournal.com]

Aw, this is absolutely adorable, sweetie. The Doctor was trying so hard to seduce Jack and this time Jack was the clueless one. You did a brilliant job with the prompt, it made me giggle. I'm sorry I didn't reply until now, but I was away for the weekend.

I've just posted another story myself here, it's another fluffy fic with Ten/Jack. I hope you like it. :D

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

No worries. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope you had a good week-end.

[silvermoon07.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, sweetie, thanks for asking. :D I went to visit with some friends that I'd not seen for a while, and I stayed over their place. We went to dinner, saw the new Liam Neeson Movie, Unknown, then later that night we went to a club to see some crappy bands play, well, I thought they were crappy. After that it was 3am, so I stayed there until Sunday afternoon. It was really fun day weekend, as we always have a good time when we get together.

[melime-everwood.livejournal.com]

Love it:) this is why Eleven and Jack need to meet.

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

Yes, they soooo need to meet!

[satiaentreri.livejournal.com]

Strangely enough it is right, that this would not have worked with the tenth Doctor ... It is so funny to see Jack trying to deal with this "constantly touching" Doctor! I'd say, that Eleven is far more difficult to understand then Ten was. And it is very understandable, that Jack did not get by his own, what all that meant! Really funny!

[scifiangel.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I really am extremely pleased that you like it.

I've been working on your translation and I'm loving the story. Please be patient with me as my muses keep distracting me to go write.

[satiaentreri.livejournal.com]

would it not have been your story, I would not have read it at all, because I have so massive problems with the eleventh Doctor. But when scifiangel is written on it, you find scifiangel in it - so I was not dissapointed :D
I am happy, that you did something on the translation. And there is no need to hurry. I am very patient, but I was afraid, that maybe you did not like it, because you did not say a word about it so far *exhales relieved*
Take your time! I know how pushy muses are ... try a museswatter if they become TOO bothersome *ggg*
