A Twist of Fate on Brokeback Mountain

Chapter One

"Ennis..?" Jack called out softly while slowly walking out of the tent to find where Ennis was since he hadn't seen him in a while. The sunlight hitting his face as he stepped out the tent made him squint so that it wasn't as bright. He reached up to rub his eyes then scratching his chin looking around for Ennis. Once he spotted him he paused. Ennis was sitting on the ground throwing up in a bag he had quickly grabbed from his satchel. "Ennis are you alright..?" He asks softly rubbing the other man's back in comforting circles. When Ennis was done vomiting he wiped his mouth and scoffed. "I'm fine Jack." "Okay okay Jesus Ennis chill the hell out.." Jack sighed staring at the ground. "How have you been feeling..?" "Jesus Jack I said I'm fine just.. just leave me alone.." he scoffed once again sitting next to the fire sipping on water. "Fine." Jack growled sternly going to lay in the tent. "Fuckin asshole.." He mumbled laying down on his side and staring at the ground under him as he pulled the blanket over himself. A few moments later Ennis appeared in the tent with a sigh. "Look Jack I don't mean to be rude right now I just don't feel right.." Jack sat up to have a better sight of Ennis and he sighed at the mans sick and exhausted face. "Just come lay down Ennis.. It'll be alright.." Just as he said that Ennis laid down in front of Jack. He felt Jacks arms wrap around him and squeeze him. He felt a bit more calm and comfortable than before. He sighed and rested his head on the pillow not even bothering to cover himself with the blanket since he was too tired. "I'm still sorry Jack.." "oh shush it's fine." He sighed and started to slowly doze off. And in the next few minutes they were both asleep and snoring.
