Wherin Jack Is Jack -- Jack/Mickey

Doctor Who
Wherin Jack Is Jack
By. A Moment In Subtext

Jack and Mickey sat at the partly abandoned table, watching Rose and the Doctor look at something in a shop window. Rose would point at something, and the Doctor would saying something too quiet to hear, and they'd both start laughing. Mickey stole one of the chips Rose and left.
"So," Jack said, "Which is it you fancy?"
"Pardon?" Mickey asked in confusion.
"The way you're looking at them." Jack explained. "Which is it?"
"Rose." Mickey said. "I mean, she was my girl, you know. And then. . ."
"She met the Doctor. Yeah, he seems to have that effect." He shook his head. "I should have figured that. She did say you were 'sort of' her boyfriend."
"Yeah, that about sums it up. 'Sort of.'" He shook his head. "When'd she say that?"
"When we first met. Around the same time she said she was 'footloose' and 'fancy-free.'" He added helpfully.
"And available?" Mickey asked bitterly.
"With a 'very' in front of it."
Mickey glanced back at the pair of them. "But she's not."
"Not even remotely." Jack settled back in his chair.
"So what about you? You're looking at them the same way I am."
"Both." Jack said. "I'd settle for either."
"You're a slut." Mickey laughed.
"In this century." Jack said, not seeming to take offense.
"Whats that mean?"
Jack shrugged and grinned, causing Mickey to roll his eyes.
"So. . ." Jack asked after a moment. "Fancy a shag?"
"What?!"
"I'm bored and you're fairly good-looking, and if we can't have them we might as well have each other. What do you say?"
"Um. . ." Mickey said, slightly unnerved. His gaze shifted back to Rose and the Doctor, zeroing in automatically on their interlaced fingers. "Yeah, sure."


Author's Notes:
Yes, its Jack/Mickey slash. And not even because I think they'd make a good couple, but because Jack flirts with anything that breathes (and some things that don't), so for some reason I can't see him not hitting on Mickey at least once. And thus, comes this. Spoilers for Jack being there, duh. Set between Boom Town and Bad Wolf. Also a duh.
