oh oh you put out new prompts! May I humbly suggest “Come here, let me hold you.” for Javey (specifically livesies)?
"Come here, let me hold you." || the prompts
sorry for the late response! i was super busy this week </3
cw: violence & blood!
"Mama's gonna kill me." David said and looked down at his shaking hands. "She's gonna kill me. Pa's gonna kill me. Sarah's gonna be so upset. I was supposed to protect him, Jack. I'm supposed to keep him safe."
"Dave, ya did keep him safe-"
He looked at the stains on his shirt and looked up at Jack with wide eyes. His hands continued to shake violently as he helplessly wiped at his undershirt. "I got- I got blood on my shirt. It's gonna stain, Mama isn't gonna know how to get a blood stain out of my shirt-"
"Dave. It'll wash right off. Stop worrying about stupid stuff. Are you-"
"I could've killed him, Jack. He was sputtering underneath me and I thought he was gonna die, and I didn't stop. I would've killed him," David's voice was caught in his throat. "I think I might throw up."
Jack sighed and sat across from the boy. "You ain't gonna throw up, Davey. It's gonna be alright. You know we wouldn't let you kill anyone. Ya family need's ya too much for us to let you get locked up."
David held his shaking, raw, bloody fists up to his chest. "I was supposed to keep him safe."
"Les is okay, David. He was downstairs playing pirates with the other boys just a couple of minutes ago. You did good, Dave. Ya kept him safe," Jack said.
"It wouldn't have happened if I had just sold with him like he had asked me too."
Jack sighed again, deeply. He waved the other boy over. "Come here, let me hold you." David got up, his entire body continued to shake as he fell into Jack's arms.
"Look," Jack said as he took David's hands into his own. "Ya hand's all dirty, all bloody." He spit into his shirt—which made David wince—and wiped at the other boy's knuckles. The blood came off and stained his white shirt. "But underneath it's still all nice and clean. Ya know why? Cuz ya ain't dirty, or mean, or cruel. You've got good intentions. Any one of us woulda reacted the same way if we had gotten to the guy first."
David took a deep, shaky, breath and nodded his head. "Can you walk us home? You can stay the night, so you don't have to walk back so late."
"I'd walk anywhere for ya, Dave. Ya know that."

jack and emergency (much fun from a random word generator)
so true heheheh….
send me a word and a character and i’ll give you a thought!
jack has been to the emergency room thirty to forty times, literally ranging from slicing a finger open to pneumonia to getting beat to shit. and this is modern au. only charlie knows the exact amount (it’s thirty-two).
his heart is on his sleeve both emotionally and literally- he’s extremely just…. prone, in general, because it’s not even just injuries like . he will get a 103 fever, spend one night in the hospital, and he totally chill the next day. scientists should study him like a bug

RAGH just remembered another thing livesies jack did that had my feathers thoroughly ruffled
okok so y’know how crutchie gets sent to the refuge right? well in the 92 movie jack goes to the refuge to try to get him out and to talk to him to make sure no one is calling him anything bad. but when he gets sent to the refuge in the live version, that jack not only ignores that, he actively avoids the subject and gives up what he was fighting for, AND calls him a slur. crutchie literally writes a letter to jack so he wouldn’t worry and literally called him his brother in it, while jack is giving up and getting mad at crutchie for being slow.
anyways yea lol

@eulogier gets charlie (for dee)!
"aw, dee, what th'fuck are you doing here?" charlie really should not have to ask. the gang basically spent every free moment at the bar. but this was his day. dennis and mac were off scheming, frank was out of town for something business related, and dee... well, he had never asked. but how is that his fault?
