Introducing the "Jack with Ennis" Fan Fic Game - the BetterMost Edition

When Jack finally joined Ennis at the campsite, he found his lover huddling before the fire, covered in a thick blanket. Ennis looked up at Jack and managed a wan smile. “What is this, Friend,” Jack spoke, concerned, as he took in Ennis’ white pallor and his red eyes. “I’m contagious, Jack,” Ennis croaked as Jack drew close. “Don’t get near me or you’ll catch this bug.” “Don’t get near me or you’ll catch this bug,” Jack mocked. He sat alongside his lover and cuddled next to him. “Listen, Ennis, I didn’t drive 14 hours to stay away from you. Come over here and gimme those lips! I don’t care if I catch your bug!” Ennis shrugged and kissed his lover, but he kept his tongue to himself.
Jack led Ennis into the tent to put him to bed. He was becoming concerned when Del Mar’s temperature started to rise, and he began to slow down. “Look, Cowboy, you rest awhile and I’ll get dinner,” Jack told his lover as he exited the tent. Jack raided his truck for supplies and found a bottle of Bobby’s allergy medicine. He placed the medicine in his pocket, determined to make Ennis take a few tablespoons full. He certainly caught a bad cold, but the allergy medicine may do him a bit of good. Once dinner was prepared, Jack made Ennis as comfortable as he could. He brought in a bowl of chicken soup and tried to feed his friend a spoonful. Ennis grimaced and pushed Jack’s hand with the spoon away. “I can feed myself,” Ennis spoke harshly. He noticed the hurt in Jack’s eyes and was instantly ashamed of himself. He softened. “Why did you bring chicken soup, Jack?” Ennis asked, gently. “You had a feeling I was gonna need some?” Jack looked thoughtful. He fed Ennis a spoonful of the weak liquid. “I don’t know why I brought the soup, Friend,” Jack remarked. “I just don’t know.” Ennis knew. He ate all of the soup for Jack’s sake, and allowed him to cut his meat for him. He even took a few swigs of the allergy medicine.
When it was time for bed Jack undressed quietly. He looked over at his friend and noticed that he was quite naked, and looked expectant. Ennis gestured for Jack, and Jack moved close. He noticed that Ennis’ skin no longer felt hot and clammy, and his eyes were almost back to normal. But Ennis was still weak. His touch felt tentative, hesitant. “We don’t have to do anything, Cowboy. I was just kidding earlier.” Jack kissed Ennis tenderly on the mouth. “You know I want your sex, but I love being with you in other ways.” Ennis’ shoulders softened. He smiled at his lover and gestured for him to lay beside him in the bedroll. The rest of the night was spent cuddling, laughing and talking. Tomorrow would be another day spent together. Ennis just hoped Jack didn’t catch his bug.

Thanks, Sugar! I feel the same about you. I posted the story above just for you!

Ennis took Jack’s hands and twirled him around. He wanted a good look. Jack Twist was thin and fit! Ennis whistled when his lover walked into Don Wroe’s cabin! They were apart for 4 months, and in that time Jack had become buffed and coiffed! Gone was the pot belly! But that blasted mustache remained!
“You like?” It was Jack. He flexed his arm muscles and gestured toward his firm abs. Ennis nodded his approval. “Yeah, you look real good, bud,” Ennis commented as he looked at Jack’s mid-section. “I like what I saw before, but this is nice, too. What happened?” “Oh, I just wanted to work off some of this good livin’,” Jack exclaimed as he took Ennis in his arms. “I want to be around a long time so that I can look at your ugly mug!” Ennis laughed at that and punched Jack lightly on the shoulder.
While Ennis was helping Jack unload his truck, he couldn’t help but gawk at Jack’s new and improved body. Jack was always a sweet looking man, but he was in better shape now than at any time – even up on Brokeback. “I swear, Jack, you look 10 years younger. I’m ashamed to be seen with you.” Jack shook his head. “I don’t see why, friend,” he said as he removed a bag of charcoal from the truck. “You look mighty fine yourself—always did—always will to me.” Ennis didn’t answer as he continued to unload the truck. Jack Twist would always attract him like a magnet, but this was just too much. Ennis sighed. He couldn’t tear his eyes away from his friend. “You’re going to be in trouble tonight, Rodeo,” Ennis spoke, huskily. Jack nodded and smiled. “No, you’re going to be in trouble. Just you wait!”

Evenin'.
Well, sorry I've been away so long, have checked in occasionally and have enjoyed reading all the stories. Without further ado, and as requested by Littlewing so long ago, here's a continuation of my drabble-story.
Thanks again.

The silence deafened him. His eyes darted from the phone, to the Coca Cola bottle on the kitchen table, to the travel mug on the counter by the back door, to the calculator next to the pile of bills. Say something, anything. He finally broke the silence. “Get my paycheck Friday afternoon, same’s every week, can be there Saturday morning, if ya still want me.” Exhausted by the effort, he lapsed into silence, waiting for Jack to fill the void within him.
The silence deafened him. He swallowed hard, his mouth dry. His eyes darted from the scratches on the top of his desk, to the bulletin board with its memos on the latest sales figures and goals, to the Normal Rockwell calendar with its picture of a small boy snuggled under a comforter. Ennis’s voice jarred him back to the here and now, and his offer to travel further than around the coffeepot looking for the handle jarred him into action.
“Enn,” he spoke quietly, “every night for the past month I’ve gotten drunk as a skunk, then each morning I’ve had to smile and prop up the illusion that I had a wonderful life here in Childress with my unloving wife and distant child. Kept telling myself that everything was peachy-keen, didn’t need Ennis f***g del Mar in my life, could find someone new.” He stopped when he heard a sob come across the line, then continued on. “It’s no use kidding myself, I’ve know it all along, you’re in my soul, my heart, my every breath.” “Oh darlin’.”
