"don't." comes out of jack's mouth through gritted teeth, his fingers pressing against the bridge of his nose like an anchor. coffee drips from his white shirt onto the ground where the rest of it's contents have found itself, splattered like a caffeinated crime scene. it's one of those things that are doomed to happen to him every few years. rushed steps and a tired mind is a dangerous combination, proven by his bump into a shoulder which led to disaster. he could cry, really. after a night-shift he feels like he deserves to cry. "i should've watched where i was going, it's fine- we're fine." he says to them, removing his glasses to remove the one small drop that had found its way there. god above, he was going to developer ulcers from this somehow.
