"Good outfit..." Jack said, as Daniel let him in to the new house...

"Don't be sarcastic, Jack!" Daniel bemoaned.

"I'm not!" Jack defended.

Daniel gave Jack an 'I don't know if I believe that!' look, and shut the door, when Jack was inside... "Yeah, well, unpacking all my stuff, I came across something reminiscent of my New Romantics/Punk phase..!" Daniel explained.

"You carry it off..." Jack assured him, as they walked together through to the living room.

Daniel shot Jack an unsure look again.

"Believe me!" Jack grinned.

"I wouldn't have thought you'd approve..!" Daniel sat down opposite Jack.

"Screw the Regs... They're only clothes, Daniel. You're still you! It's just a shirt, for Chrissake!" Jack spoke.

"It's not." Daniel announced.

"Say again?" Jack requested.

"It's not just a shirt." Daniel said, like a swan under water.

"Oh, okay." Jack said.

"Is it?" Daniel asked, sitting forward, the black lacy shirt he wore glided across his skin.

"Yeah!" Jack said, surprising himself with the fact that he meant it. "You don't wear ay of this to work, do ya? Y'know, in secret??"

"Why? Do you need to know?" Daniel pondered.

"Don't s'pose I do..." Jack stated genuinely.

"Would you like to know!?" Daniel half joked, living dangerously.

Jack smiled, and swallowed a little.

"Sorry!" Daniel replied.

"Don't be!" Jack recovered, again surprised because he truly meant his words.

"It started back when I was on the lecture circuit." Daniel braved. "And nobody gave me the time of day, except Catherine, eventually... But I went home one day, and looked through a box of stuff, stuff that someone, miraculously, had kept for me, full of my parents stuff... The box doesn't have any of Dad's clothes in there, or I suppose I would have been walking around today in tweed Jackets with leather elbow patches, every bit the University Employed Archaeology Professor that I've never been..."

Jack heard more in Daniel's words then... But he kept it light. "Leather wouldn't be a bad look either!" He partially joked.

Daniel's heart literally skipped a beat at this ongoing possible flirtation between them that had been born out of nowhere... Or had it?? "A sweater of my mother's was in the box, and I put it on... I just needed..." Daniel welled up with very sudden tears. "I needed..." He managed. "To not be alone, y'know..?"

"Absolutely." Jack assured him gently. He then walked to the opposite sofa, where Daniel sat, and carefully sat beside his friend.

Daniel looked to Jack, closer as he now was. "I realised I liked it then... I didn't want to be my Mom or anything even more weird like that... Just, every now and again, I liked the feel of... more feminine clothes... What I'm wearing isn't women's clothes, it's just clothes made for men in a woman's style..."

"I get it..." Jack told him.

"I'm always so afraid someone will know me, see me having bought them or something, and tell you..!" Daniel confessed.

"They're just clothes, Daniel..." Jack repeated. "I'll defend your right to wear them, and still be on my team," he added notedly, "forever..."

Daniel smiled. Overcome, he leaned forward and kissed Jack. His heart stopped as he realised what he was doing, and he pulled back. "Shit! I've ruined everything!!!" He shouted at himself, looking away from Jack, which he rarely did. He could always meet his gaze!

"No. You haven't." Jack held Daniel gently by his arms, grabbing his attention. "Daniel. You haven't. You haven't ruined everything..." Then, Jack returned Daniel's kiss.

Daniel leant into Jack's embrace so gratefully and receptively, but he still gave so much to Jack in those few gathered moments... When the kiss halted, though the kissing hadn't stopped, and likely would never now, Daniel asked Jack, "Are you sure you're okay with this?"

"Yeah-sure-you-betcha!" Jack replied, warmly brushing Daniel's face, moving his hair from his eyes.

Daniel leaned over more, and looked back across his own body momentarily; the equally lacy black briefs he wore were showing above his casual, stone washed blue jeans...

Jack's gaze followed Daniel's eyes. Jack looked there in wonder! He wanted to be brave enough to reach out and touch Daniel's skin, feel the silky lace of the briefs. He could see that a strip of lace ran down the crack of Daniel's ass, covering his butt cheeks in the other material, the silky stuff.

"The lace goes all the way up the front..." Daniel whispered, hoping he wouldn't break the spell that had fallen over them both. "I'm in, like, a pouch, of the laciness; the silk is either side..."

Jack looked at Daniel with honestly hungry eyes. "Ohh, Daniel..!" He said, his fingertips just beginning to let them both feel the heat...

"Come with me in my bedroom, Jack..." Daniel implored him.

"I will, Space Monkey..." Jack promised, lost in the moment as it built.

Daniel stood, and led Jack through to his bedroom... He peeled off his jeans along the way...

Jack watched the shirt softly flap against Daniel's hard thighs in the briefest moment... Then, his eyes fell on the half-hidden Briefs, with the thong like bit of lace from under the undeniable pouch, all the way up the back, and the sparkle running the length of the seems either side...

Daniel shut his bedroom door. "My neighbours are very understanding for all I know, but sex in the middle of the afternoon with my truest friend who happens to be a Commanding Officer, my Commanding Officer," He furthered, telling Jack he understood the field, and praying, again, Jack wouldn't think better of ALL of this... "in the USAF... I don't know!" Daniel continued, over his shoulder as he drew his bedroom blinds; He thrilled to see Jack, eyes fixed on his 'six' (Backside!)... He walked back to Jack, and thrilled even more so, as Jack took him into his arms.

"I love you, Space Monkey..." Jack finally said it, as he held Daniel employing all of his heart into his lucky arms "Always have." He let him know.

"I love you, too, Jack..." Daniel told him truthfully. "Always will..." He knew he would. So, he shut out the world for once, and let Jack in...
