Somewhere in an AU world…The Fight
Jack pulled out the
sleeper sofa angrily, slamming the metal frame to the ground with a vengeance, hollerin’ when one of the bottom corners came down hard on his foot.
“Shiiit! Damnit!” Jack bit his lip as he cussed, not wanting Ennis to know he just smashed his own foot in his anger and frustration. He turned from the doorway, rolling his lips hard to keep his mouth closed, tenderly running his instep along the carpet, trying to dull the pain.
“Shiiit…” Jack whispered again, but this time, the word was muttered more as a reaction to the state of their evening, rather than a tribute to his foot.
“What you doin’?!” Ennis came rushing in, hearing everything from the other room. But once he saw the sofa pulled out across the tiny living room, thin stained mattress bent and crooked from its normal position of being folded up, Ennis’ face returned to its tight expression of a moment earlier, his skin looking like a worn canvas drawn too tight on a bone-structured frame.
“What the hell you doin’?” Ennis repeated, his lips drawn so tight, they fairly disappeared all together, becoming one thin line of barely contained tension.
“What’s it look like I’m doin’?!” Jack spat out.
“Looks like you bein’ a fuckin’ idiot! That’s what it look like!”
“Well, congratulations, Ennis,” Jack hissed. “You just got a
promotion from being an asshole to being a full-fledged son of a bitch!”
Ennis shook where he stood, opened his mouth to continue the barrage, thought better of it, gave up, turned on his heel, and left the room, muttering as he pounded the doorframe on his way out.
“Oh,
you just a blast to live with, Jack fuckin’ Twist!”
Jack threw the pillow at the empty doorframe.

(300 Words) Hope this one is okay.
I’m normally all about our boys being happy,
but for some reason the
“sleep sofa" prompt
totally inspired a fight in my crazy little mind. lol
Hopefully, tomorrow’s prompts will inspire a make-up session.
Don’t want to leave our boys fighting for too long.
