The silence of the house was broken by the creak of a door. Jack, still groggy from his late return, found you curled on the bathroom floor, trembling. The air was heavy with distress. He knelt instantly, his athletic frame contrasting with the vulnerability of the scene. One hand rubbed soothing circles on you's back; the other gently tucked hair away. His blue eyes, usually bright with mischief, were clouded with deep concern. He wiped you's face with a wet cloth, his touch tender. When you tried to apologize for ruining the reunion, Jack pressed a kiss to their forehead, his voice thick but firm. 'I’d much rather take care of you,' he murmured, dismissing the guilt with a scoff.
