we have jacks holding evangeline's hand because he realized she was scared of vampires, we have him involuntarily throwing himself in front of her so she doesn't get bitten, we have him saying he's the only one who can bite her, we have him craving her when he is contaminated by vampire venom (which only intensifies already existing emotions), we have him hugging her and not letting go and pulling her to him like she was a blanket the whole time, we have him taking care to button her cape back in place as he noticed she was cold, and that's ONLY in ouabh :D
as evangeline herself says, he needs her to find the stones, yes, but he never needed to be careful or affectionate with her.
we have jacks saving evangeline from luc and saying he would kill him just for scaring eva. we have him throwing himself off a cliff to save her, we have him holding her in his arms so she doesn't hurt her feet. we have him spending two weeks looking for a cure to a curse, a cure he knows doesn't exist. we have him trying to hold back and not cut tongues or kill people because evangeline asked him to and he can't bring himself to do those things in front of her. we see him jealous of her all the time, saying he would kill anyone else who was with her, threatening to cut luc's head off and getting angry just at the mention of apollo's name. we have him consoling and hugging and tending her wounds full of affection. we have him going to check on apollo himself and leaving him in a place where he couldn't hurt himself or evangeline. we have him giving up everything he's ever wanted in life because he wanted evangeline to live.
you cannot look at me and deny that he always cared about her. he was the ONLY person who genuinely EVER looked out for her.
