[I’m so sorry I didn’t put out imagines yesterday! I’m working towards getting my Imagines blog up after I make my rules and move my Code Vein content there! Til that’s all sorted, enjoy some random HCs specifically dedicated to Jack!]
Jack realizing he’s in love with you
- I’d say its one of of those things that builds up over time. He’s just enjoying your company, maybe teasing you in fights and even had helped you sort out how you feel emotionally after having your memories of your past returned.
- If a memory upsets you too much, or someone says something harmful or you feel you’ve failed at something and you get upset to where it’s clear you need a shoulder to cry on? Jack is one of, if not the first one there to offer to listen. After all, he may seem threatening but if you need someone, he’s there to help. At least that’s what he’d be thinking anyways.
- Then he may notice he gets this little twinge of something in his chest when he sees you giggling too much with Yakumo or sitting a little too close to Louis but he wouldn’t act on it because it isn’t anything serious. You’re just spending time with them and being friendly right?
- He may start to struggle to hide it as the feeling grows, especially if he knows he has no reason to feel the way that he does. After all, you two are friends and spending time with other friends happens, right?
- So when someone asks if he’s alright because he can’t hide it anymore and he tries to play off only for someone to say he’s jealous because he likes you? It hits like a ton of bricks.
- Just Oh. Oh. Ohhh. And then he feels so stupid for it because before realizing it, he was just trying to be there after everything between you two in the past and he’s like ‘Well I know what to do next at least.’
Jack confessing and asking you to be his
- With how blunt he can naturally be at times, he wouldn’t skirt around this too much. I mean it’s the end of the world, the worst has already happened and the worst you can say is no.
- So he politely asks to speak to you privately so no one is watching when he asks this. This is something of the heart and despite his cold exterior, he’s actually very sensitive inside and wouldn’t want to embarrass or force you to say yes around everyone, not to mention his own well hidden nervousness.
- If you said no? His face wouldn’t give it away but he would feel like someone stabbed a knife through his chest and blame himself for being so foolish to ask. It’d be dropped quickly but you would be able to feel that things aren’t quite the same anymore. It’d feel like an uncomfortable distance would’ve formed between you two and being around each other would be awkward all around until the feelings went away and maybe even afterwards too.
- If you said yes? You’d see him give this smile that would melt your heart. He’d feel a weight off of his shoulders and you could swear he seemed warmer in his outward appearance. Jack would also pull you to him and even kiss you, if you were fine with that, just to celebrate that you felt the same way he felt about you. After all, love doesn’t come easy after everything you’ve known is gone.
Jack in a relationship
- He’s a man who values his partners so if you snag him? Ohhh be prepared for him to worry over you, even if you can’t see it outwardly. He sees you need help with something? He’s right there by your side when you ask. You need a smile? He’ll tease and joke with you until you’re feeling better. Out fighting and you get hurt? He’s hellbent on killing whatever hurt you and getting you to safety.
- Now he wouldn’t stop you from bonding with everyone though, because you still have a life outside of him and it just wouldn’t be fair to you or anyone else if he tried to hog your attention.
- However if he’s having one of his hard days where he’s thinking back to Queenslayer or any of the events after it? He’ll often want to spend time with you. Just having you near while talking about what bothers him and getting support does wonders for him. Remember how I said he’s sensitive? This is one of the few times it comes out full force and you get to see that his cold exterior is only a mask for someone who cares and wishes that he wasn’t in such a cold reality.
- Once you’ve been with him for a while, even if he’s trying to keep you from worrying, you just KNOW when he’s having a bad day and when it’s time to pull him somewhere to snuggle up to him and just give him some love and affection.
- Jack is also very much one for his relationships being something that isn’t explicitly announced. Like if someone finds out? All he’d say is “Yes, we’re together.” and leave it at that. But if they’re pestering him about what he sees in you or why he began dating you or anything equally personal? Good luck getting him to talk about it. He’d sooner shut it down and tell them his reasons are his than spill anything.
- Same for PDA. He may do little romantic gestures that aren’t overly extravagant but if you ask him to kiss you in front of everyone? He’s more hesitant. He loves you but he also doesn’t like the idea of people seeing and judging every little bit of affection he gives. So to him, he’d only do what he’s okay with within his discretion.
- When he lets the mask drop outside of things that he’s worried about? You just get this warmth as you talk to him and be with him. His touches are gentle and his love of feeling your hands interlocked with his or your head on his shoulder is something that gives him so much peace. He’s definitely one where his biggest love languages would be touching and quality time because while he doesn’t mind getting you gifts to make you happy, nothing beats out spending time with someone you love.
- Just. This man will make sure that despite how much he teases you, you know he loves you with all his heart and he will avenge you if someone dared to so so much as try to harm a hair on your head.
