I just wanna say i love your post about Jason caring for you in his own way, especially via taking preemptive measures to make sure that you don't end up in that hurt or sick state he doesn't like to see you in regardless of the entirety of his reasons for why be doesn't.
Sometimes love isn't saying "I love you", or holding hands, or buying flowers or going on dates.
Sometimes love is making sure the fire is going in the fireplace by the time you get home, it's shoveling the snow/ice out of the walkway to the house before you go to work in the morning and it's getting a new box of your favorite tea because he knows you'll be upset when you realize you ran out and the store is already closed for the night.
I really enjoyed that post Jude ✨💗

the post in question!
aah thank you sm ;; since hes been on his own for a while, he doesn't really have all those social skills nor would he need them. the funny thing is, he's pretty patient (well, sometimes.) and he doesn't mind waiting. It takes a while but he could eventually warm up to me and slowly ease into showing his care in a 'lighter' way, rather than the aggressive way he's so used to but that means opening up / vulnerability and that's not something that comes easily to him (save for a few instances).
I strongly believe his main love language is acts of service (giving), especially since he verbally can't communicate too much, he does everything through actions and carries it out in whatever ways are the most efficient (He's a hunter and it's his mindset to do things like this, so I don't blame him). But it's not like he doesn't know how to be gentle or treat things delicately!
He grunts and huffs and he'll force me to take a coat when I leave bc he knows the signs of rainfall, worried I'll catch a cold, while I tend to be more lighthearted (or in his eyes, defiant) mostly to joke around, all "but the rain feels nice on my skin" while he blankly stares until I take it from him. Even if he comes off demanding and bossy, most times I can tell he means well - he doesn't fully grasp the sentiment, seeing it as essential (ex: making sure i sleep and urging me to eat. "why? bc you'll die if you don't" it's just thats simple.)
I agree! He'd be the type to fix up the cabin and make it liveable bc truthfully, he didn't care about the way he lived but seeing how react to the 'too cold' weather, he opts to keeps this warm for our sake (which i think is very bittersweet bc he sees me as a (better, kinder) extension of himself and tends to treat as such, but slowly allows him these things by giving to me if that makes sense)
He's very quick to jump in when im doing anything he deems as too strenuous or dangerous; "I'll take care of it." and i think its bc 'he wants it done right.' or maybe im incompetent. But when it clicks, we both realise he doesn't want to see my hands blister or to bleed like how I got a splinter like that One Time, Months Ago. He has his reasons but doesn't feel the need to explain them. When or if I figure it out, it really is touching, just knowing he has my best interests at heart and willing to take care of me in ways I never had.
again tysm for this im like *feels validated* shhshs 🥺💖 i have feelings for another scary white boy smh
tldr; eventually he learns how to separate himself from his hardened persona and allows himself to have those nice things like companionship and occasionally being cared for. @tex-treasures
