Manhattan's Diamond King
Jack had been wandering the streets on a night watch with Diamond. The people of the Party and their Ministry of Truth goons were getting bold. It made Jack antsy and he wasn’t sleeping. It was weird sometimes how he went days and weeks here and there without sleeping. No one knew how he could do it.
The scenery had changed oddly when he turned a corner, Diamond at his side whining. He reached down and patted the white mutt that went with him everywhere. Straightening, Halloween Jack shifted the automatic weapon slung over one shoulder that stood in stark contrast to his feminine clothing including spike heeled black boots and gaudy diamond bracelets and earrings. He came very close to shooting the hologram when it startled him by appearing on his blind side. He’d seen something like this before but couldn’t remember where. He listened to it all the while wondering why the guy was in the weird get up. It looked enough like a military uniform to make him suspicious of the Nexus.
Walking on he kept looking up at the building corners, the trees, anywhere something could be hung. Though the gun was back in a resting position, he remained jumpy and jittery.. one part drugs and one part nerves. Diamond was watching the people coming out into the plaza. Normal morning traffic of shops opening.
Jack narrowed his eye at the people and eventually asks. “There aren’t any cameras or drones here?”
He is confused as hell about what is going on. The dog sat at his feet, looking up expectantly at her one eyes master. In the back of his mind there is a lingering worry that this is some Party trap or that he had been caught again and this was something in his own mind.

Jack was definitely going for the things he rarely got. Jack took the glass and stayed close when he saw that smile.
"Fuck them." He clinks his glass and takes a drink. "We're already telling them off by enjoying sex and food."
He sneaks a kiss off of Balthazar's cheek and takes another drink.

"The bastards try to starve you? Even more so that they die in their own shit because people like that deserve it even more."
He was going to make sure Jack got as much food, booze and sex as he wanted. Fuck the Ministry indeed. The kiss brought the angel back down from his anger spurt and found himself softening once more. Refilling his glass with more wine, Balthazar slipped a hand around Jack's waist, pulling him closer.

It didn't make much sense to Jack but that was what the Party talked about. Jack took the arm around his waist as an invitation and seeks out a real kiss, not too deep but definitely passionate and inviting.
