Maybe for the request, Marvin and Jackie being soft???
He’s used to walking in on Jackie asleep, he’s used to seeing Jackie asleep in various positions, but he’s not used to seeing Jackie sleeping while hugging a pillow.
Marvin knows he’s been busy for a few days, too busy to spend any time with Jackie, but he’s got free time, and he plans to make the most of it with the hero. Quietly, he tries to extract the pillow from Jackie’s grip, but Jackie stirs awake anyway, cracking a single eye open to peer blearily at Marvin.
His face lights up when he sees the magician, and Jackie moves to latch onto Marvin instead. “Babe!” Jackie’s practically purring as he nuzzles into Marvin’s chest, wrapping his arms around him.
With a gentle laugh, Marvin tries to pull Jackie off of him. “One second, love. I need to change clothes.”
“Mmmmno.” Jackie shakes his head. “I haven’t seen you for a few days, lemme just hold you.” He tightens his grip, though thankfully not enough to actually hurt Marvin. Marvin practically melts as he runs his fingers through Jackie’s hair.
“I’m sorry Jackie, I should’ve been around more. Trying to plan shows and tours-”
“Shush,” Jackie whines. “I don’t wanna hear it. I just wanna sleep with you.” He sounds almost childlike, which Marvin can understand. Jackie’s sleepy and clearly needy. “Lay down Marv.”
“I’m trying.” He laughs again as he shuffles into the bed, shifting around. Thankfully Jackie lets go long enough to let Marvin get comfortable, but then he’s latching on again “There you go, Jackie. Is that better?”
“Mhm!” Jackie lets out a yawn before he shifts, resting his head on Marvin’s shoulder. “I missed you. You free for a few days?”
“I am,” Marvin confirms. “Everything’s all ready for the upcoming mini-tour. You still coming with me?”
“Course I am. I gotta support you.”
Marvin wraps his own arms around Jackie, rubbing gentle circles into his back. “Good. Just remember you’re there for support, rather than bodyguards. I promise I don’t need them.”
“You do if people are going ‘ta insist on throwing themselves at you.”
“Is someone jealous?” Marvin snorts.
Jackie lifts his head to stick his tongue out at Marvin. “That’s entirely beside the point, babe. Don’t call me out.” He rests his head again, once more letting his eyes close. “Also I’m tired.”
“So, go back to sleep. I’m not keeping you awake.” Marvin goes back to playing with Jackie’s hair.
“Yeah, but I want ‘ta talk ‘ta you.” Jackie’s voice has a faint whine to it. “I haven’t seen you much and I wanna spend time with you first.”
“Sleep first, and then we’ll go on a date. Deal?”
“When you put it that way, how can I refuse?” Jackie gives Marvin a kiss on the cheek. “Okay, I’ll accept that. I love you.”
Marvin laughs quietly, gently combing through Jackie’s hair, hoping to lull him to sleep. “I love you too, Jackie. Sleep well.”
Marvin wouldn’t mind a nap, either.
