Walk with me....younger gf adjusting her schedule to be able to spend some time with Jack either after a shift or before he has to go in. Jack who comes home, leg sore from compensating and his heart heavy in his chest from not being able to save everybody in time. But he comes back to their place and finds younger gf, doing what's technically her night time routine in the early hours of the morning. The sight eases his pains. Her face shiny, soft and squishy from products, eyes bleary from being awake too long while wearing one of his shirts with her legs bare as she waits for him. -walk anon
this is making me so sofffftttt
he feels bad, because it's like he's making you switch your entire schedule. you're not entirely, but you are also willingly doing it. because you are tired of seeing him for only a few hours a week too, so you want to make a way where you're with him as much as possible. even if that means sleeping with him until 3 pm.
"you know you don't have to do this," he says while changing clothes before getting in the shower to wash off the smell of hospital. he leans against the bathroom counter while you brush your teeth, shirtless with his arms crossed over his chest. he kisses your cheek before hopping in the shower. you make him a warm cup of decaf coffee to help him fall asleep while you lean back against your satin pillows waiting for him to join you. scrolling on tik tok you're giggling at things that make no sense to him, showing him every other video and laughing so hard that tears are coming to your eyes. he thinks it's delirium- you're not used to this type of schedule so yes you're going to laugh at everything. he takes your phone from you and cuddles up next to you. with the sound machine on, the ac on low, blackout curtains drawn- you're out like a light within minutes. it takes jack at least twenty minutes to fall asleep, but he doesn't mind because he gets to admire you for a little while longer.
