Jack starts reading bc he knows davey loves to read btw. jack reads poetry so he can understand the way davey's mind works. he spends hours trying to make himself feel like he's worthy of davey's love. like he's enough for Davey to love, not just a husk of a man who lost his hope long ago. after the strike, and after jack finally settles down and starts living in a small flat in lower manhattan, he feels empty. without any reason to keep going except his job as a waiter, he spends a lot of time thinking. thinking about how he might never see Davey again, and that everything that happened between them was incidental to him, not like how it changed jack permanently.
what if he meant nothing to Davey? what if Davey truly forgot about jack? what if Davey never really cared???

Update: The popcorn bag has burst.
Anyways, Albert, who shoves his hands in his pockets and sits on his knees whenever he feels the need to stim or move because he thinks it's embarrassing and feels the need to hide it away.
But then Race starts to take note of this and tries to show him that stimming is okay and a totally normal occurrence by holding his hands away from his pockets and stimming along with him if he ever does within his vicinity.
Something that's starting to happen more often is Albert letting it out at night. They'd both be lying in bed, and Albert would hit his fists against his thighs and shake his foot repeatedly to regulate after a long day.
Race would always wrap his arms around him tightly to apply pressure and help out a little when he does the above.
newsies mutuals we should play among us sometime

Albert who chews gum and bites on a necklace when he’s nervous. Albert who bites his friends shoulders when he’s comfortable, but never enough to hurt. Just kinda a little nibble. Albert who grinds his teeth when he gets angry, who chews on hoodie strings and pencils.
