Literally no one asked for this??? But I want him so bad
Real distant in the beginning on the relationship.
Doesn’t talk about his feelings but one day he just…realized that you’ve stayed and he’s been stubborn and he hesitantly just starts talking
Likes lounging in bed with you while doing your own things
He struggles with telling you he wants to cuddle or anything of the sort so he just awkwardly lets his elbow graze you and hopes that’s enough
If you don’t understand him he doesn’t go out of his way to tell you
He just gets irritated and he knows it’s bad he just doesn’t know what to do
He’s his fathers son so he apologizes the same way
It’s just mostly him degrading himself
“Listen I know I’m a fool…a real piece of work…and I’m…Im sorry.”
He struggles with his love languages so it’s kinda a bit of everything
He gets you a nice shirt and just leaves it on the table and never brings it up if you don’t
He likes cuddling with you and if he could he’d lay with you for hours
He’s stayed in bed for far too long just holding you
Will wordlessly do your chores like pinning the clothes even if you’re living with him or not
I think his main one is quality time though
He could do anything if you’re by his side
If you don’t stay with him he gets too embarrassed handing you things to give gifts so he just sends them though the mail
Once almost said “I love you” and he looked terrified by his words
He meant it he just didn’t feel like it was the right time
Liked tracing patterns over your arms or back
Hesitant to be little spoon but he enjoys it
Likes to let you sleep in while he gets ready
Sometimes he finds himself thinking waaay too far ahead into the future with you like he’s planning names and in his mind you guys already have the heights measured on the door
And he realizes that he’s fantasizing way to much he gets embarrassed to look at you
Gets nervous when you show him affection because apart of him just wants you to break up with him now to get the heart break over with
Needs reassurance a lot
Likes to have “what if” talks or “in the future talks”
Wants to name his daughter after his mother
You had to make most of the moves besides the first kiss
The first kiss was mostly adrenaline on his part and he couldn’t help himself
I fuckimg hate that people keep comparing TLOU and RDR2 because it's just so stupid. there is no way you are gonna pit two of (possibly) the most brilliant story based video games of our time against eachother, as if the characters don't represent different aspects of what itmeans to be human.
stop arguing over whether joel or arthur would win in a fight. think about their similarities. do u not think they would bond over the grief they both carry for their lost children? how they avoid opening up to others, for fear of looking weak.
do you not think ellie and Jack wouldn't relate to eachother and finally be able to express the grief and anger and guilt they feel for being the ones who lived?
wouldn't Sadie and tess literally be best friends. I have no comparison for this, I just think they would tbh.
but come on. these characters are complex and not just black and white when it comes to who they are. and I can't have people just reducing their whole character arcs to the monkey brain thought process of "oH my character could beat your character in a fight!!". please
tw: self harm and mentions of s*icide, discretion is requested and recommended
• okay, it's canon that jack marston is an anxious and depressive mf.
• so if you think about it deeply, chances are high that he has self-harmed or thought about it.
• maybe not with cuts, maybe burning with cigarettes, scratching until he sees blood, picking fights to get hit, etc. this would be after the death of his parents.
• when he was a 14-16 yr old he would pull his hair or hit the back of his head on the wall of his room when he felt insufficient.
• as he has said, he no longer has anything to live for.
• so he clearly never cared if he suffered or not.
• because there is no greater suffering than having lost your loved ones and being left alone for the rest of your pathetic life.
• he has nightmares about the day his father dies, and when he wakes up he couldn't go back to sleep.
• and that would cause insomnia.
• he hates seeing wild feverfews because it reminds him of the ones he left on his mother's grave.
• hates wearing his father's clothes, but he doesn't plan to spend his money on buying clothes, so he ends up wearing them.
• sometimes he sleeps in his parents' bed to feel their presence nearby.
• it stopped doing it a long time ago.
• would have thought about committing s*icide.
• would have failed miserably to try.
• will have spent years trying to find some reason to live.
• and by the time he would have found a reason, it would be too late.
FEM READER, mentioned alcohol since it's set in a saloon, you're sneaking hanging out with jack. you're a rich girl who is supposedly 'sleeping' at the moment...
a little OOC? he is drunk, pure fluff! you and Jack are already dating...friends. lmk if I should add anything else. Loosely proofread, a little drabble, lmk if you want this longer.
also, do you guys still fw jack? might stop writing about him since like nobody has interest in him or something. 😭😭
Normally, at 10:45 PM you would find yourself snuggled in your warm bed and on the verge of falling asleep, not in an outlaws arms as you both drank. Both of your parents spoke about being aware of who you were hanging out with but you swore you wouldn't mix yourself in people who were even considered as a bad influence.
There was an undying paranoia of anyone finding out about you and Jack. Your father was a successful business men and if anyone found out that the daughter of someone so successful is dating an outlaw, it would spiral your family reputation down.
But those thoughts swiftly vanished as you felt the whiskey burn your throat with each shot your boyfriend poured for you, encouraging you to let go for a moment and not to be so uptight - he would claim.
His arm was around your waist protectively as he would mumble quiet flirtations in your ear as he would kiss behind your ear, cheek and shoulder as he hovered over you.
...
You really... Don't know how you managed to lean against a table with jack.. to pushing you against a bathroom sink as his arms were each side of the counter, trapping you between them.
"Jack...c'mon.." You tried to reason with your boyfriend as you were covered with his kisses — cheeks, forehead, neck and lips. You never thought that Jack would've been a clingy drunk but there is a lot of stuff you didn't know about the gunslinger that was all over you.
"Oh, did you get...er.." Jack trailed off as his lips found yours before pulling away from the kiss and continued, "Are you wearin' a new lipstick?" His words were all a incoherent mess, ignoring the words you spoke to him beforehand as he held you close.
A sigh escaped your lips, "What does the lipstick I wear have to do with being pressed against a damn sink counter..." You grumbled before you get cut off with another kiss to your cheek. A part of you wanted to remind him that you needed to go home since it was nearing midnight but you couldn't say no to getting his kisses that you tried to deny of liking.
...
Later that night, you snuck back into your room as you helped Jack get through the small window of your room, silently helping him get into your bed because you know he will have the worst headache of his life the next morning.
The couple minutes of struggling to pull your drunk boyfriend through the window and make him lay down on the bed felt all worth it as his arms wrapped around you and pressed you tightly to his chest.
Since your room was halls down from your parents, the commotion was silent to them which eased off the worry in your mind, allowing you to get a good nights sleep as your head was resting on the outlaw's chest.
