it's established in livesies that jack is a big mood destroyer in every single way ... consider a jack who CANNOT read a room for the life of him ... consider jack who- while harbouring a deep sadness within him -remains positive for the sake of davey who is very shaken up by his fathers injury. consider jack who doesn't realise how much he changes a room just by being in it. consider jack being both the mood lifter and dark storm cloud of the newsies ... consider crutchie having to physically pep jack up some days becuase he has this aura of Sadness ... but consider crutchie having to subtly tell jack that now is Not the time for 50 consecutive cartwheels .... jack with very bad mood regulation at the best of times ... jack who lashes out by accident very often ... something something hurt comfort fic something something coping with the sudden realisation that he is alone in his experiences .....
okay so this is that self indulgent javey oneshot ...
it gets an eeny bit spicy towards the end but it's like only a little bit ...
consider this my bday gift to you guys !
Jack and David didn't realise it had gotten dark out until they could see their reflections clearly in the windows.
They weren't alone, of course, many other late night studiers still sat at their own desks, but Jack and Davey were lucky to be separated from most others by some rows of bookshelves.
And in the mellow lights from overhead, Davey's unkempt curls made shadows on his face, illuminating and accentuating his high cheekbones, sun-kissed freckles and roman nose. Jack watched the way his long fingers glided across the pages of his textbook, occasionally dropping to the desk to pick up a highlighter. Jack watched the way his eyebrows drew together as he reread a passage, the way his cool blue eyes blinked a few times.
God, he was inconceivably pretty. Jack is a very lucky man.
Davey glanced up at Jack, once quickly, as if to check what Jack was doing, then again, realising Jack's eyes were already on him.
Davey shot him a questioning look and a smile, and Jack grinned back. He watched Davey's tongue as it swiped across his beautiful soft lips, and watched those elegant fingers tuck a stray curl behind his ear. Watched as he parted his lips slightly, to sigh, resting his head on his hands, gazing at Jack.
God, what Jack wouldn't give to have his lips on Davey's right about now. It was a never-fail remedy after a long day.
Davey must have read Jack's mind, because he smiled, that downward-pointed smile that Jack loved and Davey hated, and stood, waiting expectantly. Jack stood too, wincing as the squeak of his chair echoed in the near-silent room.
He let Davey take his hand and lead him into an aisle of books- philosophy, judging from the covers.
See, their university was very old. Solid-oak-wood-shelves type old. So solid, in fact, that the only noise was a quiet 'oof!' as Davey turned, his back against a shelf, grabbed Jack's collar, and pulled him in close.
'Hey.' Davey whispered, smiling coyly.
'Hey.' Jack replied, feeling blush heat his cheeks. 'God, you're beautiful.'
Davey circled his fingers on Jack's shoulder, whisper-giggling. God, talk about seductive.
Jack let one hand rest on Davey's hip, the other on his cheek, and gently connected their lips. Electricity flowed through him, like it was their first kiss all over again. Davey smiled, pulling Jack impossibly closer as he opened his mouth, giving Jack's tongue entrance. Jack gladly obliged, running his tongue over the inside of the mouth he knew so well. He sighed happily against Davey's mouth, moving both hands down to the other boy's hips.
When Jack pulled away for breath, he took great care in memorising every detail of Davey's face. His lips, now teasing a new, slightly bruised look. His nose and cheeks, dusted pink. His eyes, storm-blue and horribly sparkly. His pupils, blown wide.
Jack lifted one hand just inside Davey's shirt, dragging his thumb over the jut of his hip-bone, revelling in the way Davey seemed to vibrate at the feeling.
'God, you're...' Jack whispered, unable to find the right words. 'Just incredible.'
'You too.' Davey sighed more than said. He gazed dreamily at Jack, making his heart skip a beat. 'Tu es plus beau que le soleil... j'ai besoin de toi.' Davey murmured, moving a hand to play with Jack's bottom lip.
'Fuck, Dave...' Jack whispered. 'You can't just talk to me like that.'
'Like what?' Davey asked innocently, snaking his arms around Jack's shoulders. 'Comme ça?'
'You know I think it's sexy.' Jack groaned, dropping his head into the crook of Davey's shoulder.
'Tu es adorable, mon amour.' Davey whispered in the most silky tone Jack had ever heard. 'Tu aimes quand je parle comme ça, n'est-ce pas?'
Jack had no idea what Davey could possibly be saying, but man oh man was it doing a number on him. And his dick. And it sure did not go unnoticed, seeing as Jack had pulled his hips flush to Davey's at some point.
A smirk tugged at the corner of Davey's mouth. 'Ah chérie, tu es déjà excitée?' Aha. Jack knew that one. Excitée. Horny. 'Juste d'après mes mots?' Davey took on a more teasing tone, which only turned Jack on more. 'Oh, mon beau garçon.'
'Oui.' Jack grunted, letting Davey rub his back, almost sympathetically. And Davey had the audacity to giggle, and it was just about the most sultry giggle Jack had heard from him.
'Dave.' Jack tried to sound stern, but it came out more pleading. 'Gimme a break.'
Davey leaned in close to Jack's ear, and whispered, obviously now trying (and succeeding, the little bitch) to sound seductive, 'Non, pas pour toi, mon amour.'
Jack physically couldn't contain it. He ground his hips up, into Davey's, slowly and needily. Davey gasped quietly, not expecting the sensation.
'Jack!' He sounded scandalised. 'We are in a library!'
'Oh, and the library was just fine when you were talking dirty to me in French?' Jack snapped back playfully.
'I was not talking dirty!' Davey placed a hand on his chest defensively. 'I had no idea it was having an effect on you!'
Jack looked pointedly down at his now obvious boner, pressed against Davey. Davey snorted. 'Okay, well, that is not my fault.'
'It is so your fault.' Jack frowned. 'Can we get out of here?'
'Only if you use my textbook to hide your situation.'
'Oh, you asshole. You're about to have your own situation.'
'Can I have my situation at home?'
'You asshole.'
Davey shrugged. 'At least I have a situation that's under control.'
'Say sorry. Right now. Or I'm taking care of my situation, right here right now.'
'Jesus!' Davey held his hands up placatingly. 'I'm sorry. .... Mon amour.'
'You ass.'
SPRINTS INTO YOUR ASK BOX, doubles over panting .
javey oneshot in a storm at night, jack stays the night at davey's and they're both exhausted so emotions come to the forefront a little faster than usual .......
PLEASE . PLEASE .... I would cry ..... bee ily so much ... bonus points if jack gets a shower for the first time since Davey has met him and he's all clean and pretty ...
bee I would cry ... no pressure tho !!!! I love ur writing so much ...
(Note: I’m super sorry that this was so late, but I absolutely loved writing this! I hope you enjoy it, and thank you so much for requesting something! 😁)
Jack watched Davey from the doorway as the taller boy turned the next page of his book, humming softly to himself and methodically tapping the cover of the book, almost perfectly in time with the rain pummeling the ground outside.
It was darker than it should have been, thanks to the storm, but Jack didn’t mind one bit. Davey’s face looked warm and soft in the candlelight, a far cry from the expression the world usually knew, the one framed by lines of worry and tired eyes.
He seemed so peaceful that Jack felt as if he was watching a moment more private than it was, his friend’s outer shell stripped away and leaving him vulnerable.
Davey glanced up, smiling when he saw Jack in the doorway, and a blush spread across the other newsie’s face as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, feeling quite small.
“Hey, Jackie,” Davey greeted him, scooting over and patting the ground beside him, not noticing Jack’s face getting warmer as he sat down. He nodded at a small bead of water on Jack’s arm, left from where he didn’t dry it. “Feel better?”
“Hm? Oh, yeah,” Jack replied, running a hand through his damp hair. “Thanks for lettin’ me stay, by the way.” He shot him a smile. “Means a lot.”
“Oh, it’s no trouble.” Davey yawned softly, and Jack felt a pang of longing shoot through him, one which he tried to ignore. There’s no way he feels the same, Jack, he scolded himself.
Gaining a tiny bit of courage, Jack threw a relaxed arm around Davey, nearly nodding off in the combined warmth of both the wool coat he’d borrowed and Davey’s form next to him.
He was exhausted. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d been this tired- maybe the strike? No matter how long it had been, Jack’s mind was in shambles.
He felt Davey shift, wrapping his arms around him, snuggling into his neck. Jack fought back the urge to kiss him right then and there, opting instead to reach over and tangle their hands together, chuckling softly as Davey glanced up at him with a lazy smile.
“You’re amazing. You know that, right?” Davey whispered, closing his eyes and leaning into Jack’s arms. “I can see why Kath likes you so much.”
“Really?” Jack asked, wondering if he’d heard him correctly. “What does that mean?”
Davey looked up at him, a peculiar look in his eyes- one that Jack had never seen before, one that told him all he needed to know. You know what it means.
Perhaps it was that look, or maybe the drunken tiredness they both felt, but Jack leaned forward and kissed him, pulling him closer. Davey’s lips were soft, just like he’d imagined, and he tasted like cinnamon and warmth. Davey smiled into the kiss, and Jack gave him a final peck before pulling back, still holding him tight.
“It’s late,” Davey muttered, laying his head on Jack’s shoulder and closing his eyes. Jack rubbed small circles into his back, his heart full to the brim with love.
“G’night, Dave,” he whispered. “Sleep well.”
From then until the sun rose, there was no sound save for the rain pattering lightly on the window, soothing the two boys to sleep in each other’s embrace.
Davey Jacobs realizing that not only is Jack an idiot, but an idiot that he’s in love with
