[psychopath]

[jack slowly pokes his head from underneath his bed, looking up at oswald upside-down.]

You can't leave me, all right, you can't unless you manage to die or something.

[he says, finally crawling out from under the bed, blanket-cape around his head and shoulders, taking barefoot steps towards oswald.] And even then.

action

[fraternize]

[dying is as easy as it is back home here. which is to say, it's not at all, but it's certainly possible. oswald doesn't tell jack that because he doesn't want to upset him even more.

the things he'd endure to keep jack from worrying too much.]

...even then.

[he says back, leaning against the doorframe for a moment longer before righting himself and sighing, arms crossed and body language closed off.]

I won't leave you. [oswald gets out again, dropping his hands at his side and looking at jack like really, he looks like the most not scary bed monster in the world and oswald reaches out to bring him into his arms, blanket cape and all.]

action

[psychopath]

[jack immediately throws his arms around oswald's shoulders, burying his face in oswald's shoulder like it's home. (it is.) he relaxes against oswald and everything feels right again, like the world is going to be okay.

the blanket falls down to the floor and jack nuzzles into him, quiet and faintly desperate and oswald, you have been missed. a lot.]

action

[fraternize]

[oswald wraps his arms around him tight and secure and warm, face pressed against the side of jack's head. he wanted to keep the blanket up and around.jack, but that's fine-- he likes this, too, and kisses jack's head because he hasn't in a while.

eventually,] ...better? [fingers winding around jack's hair, keeping close.]
