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

“Me and Alma is supposed to get married once I come down offa this mountain,” Ennis boasted with his chest stuck out. He looked puffed up like a young rooster struttin’ around, trying to impress the hens. Jack ignored Ennis’ pronouncement this time as he did whenever Ennis mentioned his imminent nuptials to the lovely Ms. Alma Beers.
Ennis continued his work while Jack stole a few moments to check him out. Jack took in the firm buttocks, the hazel eyes and sandy colored hair. Ennis’ body was well nourished, but he seemed thinner; probably dropping the pounds on account of a diet of milk, beans and stone biscuits. Jack had to admit that Ennis was magnificent – a fine catch for any woman. But Jack had fallen for him, and fallen hard. He hated to hear about Alma and felt his stomach tighten and twist when Ennis mentioned his wedding. “It makes you feel like a man, marrying Alma?” Jack asked, ruefully, but only in the safety of his own thoughts.
The time to part came too quickly for Jack’s taste, but Ennis had to return to the sheep. Jack watched as Ennis reached for his jeans. He usually washed after their coupling, but there was no time. Jack thought on what it would be like to have a man like Ennis at his beck and call - would be nice! Ennis spoke not a word as he stepped into his jeans and pulled on his shirt. How like Ennis to be so distant after what they just shared. Is this how a real man should behave: all contained and settled and centered even after love? Jack didn’t know. Jack didn’t even care. He just knew that Ennis was all he wanted. Jack considered Ennis his man. He smiled as Ennis turned his back without a word and exited the tent. “I’m going to steal him away, Alma,” Jack whispered.

“I wonder why Del Mar is acting so funny!” Jack thought as he caught sight of Ennis sitting off by himself along a grassy hillside. Jack gulped with dread when he noticed the stern set of Ennis’ jaw. So they were given strict orders to bring ‘em down! Jack shook his head when he repeated Ennis’ bitter words in his mind: “That Aguirre is cheatin’ us out of a whole month’s pay!” And Ennis blew up when Jack offered him a loan! Jack didn’t get it!
Jack Twist couldn’t care less that the summer on Brokeback was coming to a rapid close. He didn’t think of the end of the job as the end of his “relationship” with Ennis. Jack pulled on a rope and wound it around his arm. He looked Ennis’ way and right away thought better of going after him. Let him sulk for awhile; it might do him good.
“The first thing we’ll do is head into Signal and have a beer, maybe even a steak dinner on me,” Jack thought as he packed up one of the horses. “Maybe Ennis will take me up on that offer of a loan. The both of us can open a bank account!” Jack sported a toothy grin at the thought of walking into a Savings and Loan with Ennis on business. The bank manager would wait on them and open up accounts in each of their names. Jack felt important just thinking about it. He never once had a bank account of his own. And after the accounts were open, Jack would make certain that a cold beer and a warm steak would get inside their bellies. And after that.... love? At the thought of being intimate with Ennis one more time, Jack couldn’t contain himself. He grabbed the rope and bounded up the hill toward his friend.

Evenin', Everyone.
Well, I've been quiet, but reading here regularly and enjoying it, and writing. Here's a double drabble [100 words each paragraph] that came to me a couple of days ago. Canon, with a touch of potential AU, could have been a lead-in to other things for them. Hope you like it, and don't mind the lack of a third paragraph in the 'game'.
Thanks again.

He had always remained grounded, his feet firmly planted in the brown tones of the earth reflected in his eyes, moving surely from one day to the next. Now he stood naked at the precipice, looking down into blue the color of an evening sky in late summer, with only air between. Heart pounding, his toes curled over the edge, sending stray pebbles into the blue below, making ripples that criss-crossed through the blue and shimmered with reflected sunlight. He hesitated, unsure whether to jump, to leave the safety of the known ground for a flight with an uncertain landing.
Then he felt a hand reach up and caress his cheek, and another hand brush against the back of his neck, fingers roaming through strands of sandy blonde hair, together assuring him softly and silently that everything would be alright. He opened his eyes and saw the man whose arms held him. He opened his heart to the emotions criss-crossing through eyes of blue, and found courage enough for both of them. Leaning down, he felt their lips meet in their first tentative kiss. Casting aside all doubts, he leapt willingly off the cliff and into a lifetime of love.
