[A quick reminder to separate fiction from nonfiction. The writing begins under the cut.]
A creature who loves like he dissects: carefully, reverently, and with a touch of horror at his own precision.
Jack doesn’t quite believe in being loved back. Not in any way that feels real.
He assumes no one could feel affection for him. At least, not in this body.
To him, he is nothing but a monster now. Affection is a relic, a faint echo of the human he once was.
So when you appear, he keeps you at arm’s length. Everything begins under the guise of business, distance maintained. But as time passes, and the walls he’s built begin to falter, he finally sees you. Warm, breathing, unafraid.
His first instinct is to catalogue you. Memorize you. Record every tremor of pulse, every rhythm of breath, so he can revisit them when the world feels most alien. When his mind is obscured by his physiology.
He isn’t clingy in the loud way. It’s quieter, more obsessive. The constant awareness of your position in the room. The small adjustments of space and air so you’ll never brush against anything sharp.
He won’t ask for attention. He’ll simply be there. Standing in the clinic, hands gloved, waiting for you to notice him.
You become part of his ritual. The anchor between morgue and mind. He watches you sleep not out of voyeurism but study. Your living stillness fascinates him, the way your body maintains its quiet processes without needing command.
Sometimes, he murmurs the clinical terminology for these systems under his breath, prayers disguised as anatomy.
It’s not creepy to him. It’s study. Awe. The fact that you can stay alive so effortlessly amazes him. Sometimes, he whispers to himself, softly naming the parts that keep you going, like a litany.
“Diaphragm. Heart rate is steady. Blood is still moving.”
To anyone else, it would sound odd, clinical, detached. But to him, it’s reverence. You’re a living system he can’t replicate, a reminder of everything human he’s lost. Watching you breathe is the closest he gets to peace.
His jealousy is typically measured, restrained under layers of professionalism.
But it’s there. Always. A slow tightening of posture when someone speaks your name too easily.
He won’t lash out. He'll simply make sure they never get close enough again. Not through blood, but through removal. He rearranges routes, shifts schedules, isolates threats under the guise of efficiency.
Out loud he will sometimes refer to you as a patient, usually by accident. Slipping out like an old habit. You are what he tends to. He doesn’t mean it cruelly. He simply doesn’t know how else to categorize his feelings for you.
I’m assuming he never let anyone get close after… everything changed. Maybe brief, shallow connections in early college, but nothing lasting, nothing deep. Until meeting you.
Jack’s version of affection is maintenance.
Polished instruments. Replaced bandages. Mended seams. He’ll repair your belongings in the night, clean every cup and dish you touch.
He’ll sit beside you as you eat, gloved hands folded, the hum of his breath steady as a metronome.
And if you fall asleep on him, he won’t move until morning or whenever you awake.
Even if his back screams from strain. Even when his skin begins to sting from sunlight filtering through the curtains.
There are moments of near-human tenderness: the brush of his mask against your temple when he checks your temperature, the way he hums low when you read aloud to him, the pause before he lets you touch his jaw through the mask.
He never initiates that contact, but when you do, he always leans into it. Barely, imperceptibly. Like a man leaning toward warmth he forgot existed.
Over time, he starts copying the smallest things you do. The way you tilt your head when you’re listening. How you hold a cup. The rhythm of your breathing when you sleep.
He doesn’t realize he’s doing it. It’s instinct. Almost as if his body is trying to relearn humanity through you. A silent kind of mimicry, half devotion, half survival.
This man is basically a walking geode. A rough exterior, but full of… surprises inside.
And if you were to point it out his fingers might twitch a little, quickly excusing himself or moving along to adjust something. Anything to occupy himself, hiding a tinge of embarrassment that you're unable to witness behind the blue mask.
Jack needs structured boundaries in relationships, mirroring his clinical order. He reacts poorly to chaos, unpredictability, or emotional volatility.
Personal space is sacred. Close physical proximity is reserved for safety, necessity, or rare moments of consented intimacy.
Likely to create small rituals for shared time: precise timing for meals, shared walks at night, or methodical study sessions together
Conflict and Communication
He avoids confrontation verbally; if anger arises, it manifests as silence, cold detachment, or meticulous withdrawal.
Processes emotional conflict analytically. He may present solutions or compromises in clinical, almost surgical language.
He can not tolerate manipulative behavior; sees emotional games as inefficient and morally corrupting.
To him, most conflict feels utterly pointless. Like yelling at a malfunctioning toaster. Completely unnecessary, and honestly, the stupidest thing anyone could do.
When intimacy like this surfaces, it frightens him. Not because of shame, but because it’s just another bodily function he can’t fully regulate.
His body no longer functions like a human’s; there’s no human reproductive system.
Organs that once guided desire, digestion, circulation they’re melted, warped, replaced by thick black fluid that fuels him.
He still has what appears outwardly like sexual organs, phallic in nature.
It's above average in terms of length. Looks like it could break you and most definitely will if you’d allow it.
But it’s disconnected from traditional human function. Obscured and turned into something much more obscene.
See, what’s driving him now is the inky liquid boiling inside of him. And his baseline urge of feeding on others to sustain it.
And so, when he’s with you, this disjointed, practically alien physiology bends instinctively toward you.
So, surges of arousal manifest as hunger, aggression, or feral intensity.
These cycles are triggered by stimuli: scent, proximity, touch, or even emotional cues from a partner.
And you know that the cycles follow a rhythm, periods of relative calm, followed by periods of near‑obsessive focus on a chosen individual.
Because that individual is yourself.
He claims he can restrain it.
Always swears it’s under control.
But it’s obvious, in the small things: the way he gives you less of himself than usual, the way he turns away when you reach for him, brushes off your touches like they might burn him.
Every twitch of avoidance, every faint distance, betrays the hunger he insists he can master, the part of him that seethes just beneath the surface.
And when he finally gives in, the way he approaches things with you can be honestly humorous at times.
The stoicism he exudes, the rigid precision, makes it all absurdly funny.
Like a surgeon consulting a cadaver instead of the living, breathing body in front of him.
It’s always through that clinical lens, because why wouldn’t it be?
Tilting your chin to check the curve of your jaw, adjusting the way your fingers rest in his hand, and pausing to trace the pulse at your wrist.
“You’re remarkably steady,” he observes, his voice a soft murmur. “Even your pulse betrays no hint of fear. Fascinating.”
Every movement measured, every touch catalogued, every sigh or shiver noted as if it were a case study. Utterly devoted, utterly absurd, utterly him.
Measured, reverent, nearly silent. Contact with you is slow, deliberate, always seeking your consent.
The beginning few touches are often wordless, tactile, guided more by his heightened senses than sight. Every tremor, every pulse, is memorized as data and devotion both.
Enjoying the small intimacies you share: the weight of your head against his chest, the brush of lips over knuckles, the sound of your breath against his neck.
At first treating your body as if it were glass.
The mask keeping him tethered to the sane parts of his mind. Suppressing any ferality. Any part of him that hungers to go deeper, be rougher with you.
And he stays masked unless you ask otherwise.
But if you were to ask him to remove it…
That's when everything should really begin to unravel.
Almost violent in cadence, but always guided by your consent.
He becomes dominant, not cruel. Just driven entirely by the moment.
Every instinct sharpens, all of it focused on one thing: you. To move with you, to match you, to fill you completely with him. Marking you as his other half.
Rough fingertips taut against you to absorb everything.
His sharp fangs sink into the soft flesh of your form.
Guiding your thighs to settle along the firmness of his shoulders. Squeezing up against his face.
Your scent all but overwhelms him.
Because the feel of your skin against his teeth sent him spiraling, unmoored, up walls he didn't remember existed.
And of course, every inch, every curve, tasted impossibly, irrevocable. That was just simply the truth.
If his affections toward you weren't so strong he wouldn't stop himself from taking you apart entirely, consuming every part, every organ, every piece.
As if that were the only way to convey his love.
But he would never. Could never.
With you, his restraint held the strongest.
Your hair, warm and soft against his fingers. The quiet rise and fall of your chest with every breath. So fragile, unshakable, utterly alive and entirely his to all but marvel at.
And the low, guttural sounds he makes, as his clawed fingers dug at your hips, anchoring himself as his long tongue worked its way against your core. Driving you to climax.
Right between your legs has to be his favorite spot in the whole world. Warm and oh so close to you.
But even in the frenzy, it is his devotion. And while it may be rough, consuming…borderline cannibalistic. It is utterly dedicated to pleasing you.
Filling you only to claim you as his.
And after, he cleans everything. Your body, the sheets, the silence. Tending to any wounds left behind.
Then, he writes brief notes about pulse rate, your scent, sounds you made, words you spoke. It’s how he processes what just happened without spiraling into overwhelm.
To him, intimacy with you is an autopsy of loneliness. A dissection transformed into communion. Not hunger. Not corruption. Just proof he’s still capable of warmth.
And at times, it leaves him mad. A broken husk of a man, eased down against the base of your legs, arms wrapped around you. Sobbing, murmuring thanks for nothing more than your existence.
thanks for stopping by and reading! i hope you enjoyed it!
