(Back to Toby's pov-)

I listened to Jack purr, which, I took as a good sign of him liking his head being petted. "Do you need to talk about it.?" I asked, yawning as I did.

"It's a lot.." He said, the grip he had on me tightening a little bit.

I gave a nod, "I'm willing to listen.." I said, giving him a bit of a squeeze back.

I heard him let out a sigh, almost like a sigh that was trying to hold back tears.. A few moments ago he looked like he was going to rip someone throat out- And now.. Now he just looks scared.

"There was this girl named Jenny.." He spoke in a shaky tone.

(Time skip, just cause I'm a little lazy.)

Jack hugged onto me, his face hiding in my shoulder.. He had just told me everything- And. I'm having a hard time comprehending everything.

'He wasn't born like this?'

I questioned to myself.. Feeling even worse about previous interactions.. I couldn't imagine how that could have felt like.. And I don't mean just the eye thing either. He obviously doesn't look human now.. So something had to happen.

"I-I'm sorry.." I all I could figure out to say.. How do you even respond to this.?

I felt him nod, his head still leaning into my shoulder. I looked at his ears, which, dropped down. Almost like if a bunny was sad or something.

I moved one of my hands to behind his ear, lightly rubbing at it. His ear twitched, and I mean, I've seen them do that before. That normally how I know I got his attention-

"It's alright for me to be touching them, right..?" I asked, making sure he was okay with it.

He gave another nod, kind of mumbling as he nodded.

"Um.?" I hummed.

"It feels nice.." He said again, his purring slowly coming back again.

"Well go then-" I said with a slight smile.. I don't like seeing him like this.. I wish I could just magically just make him happy all the time. I mean, that's what he does for me. So I want to do that for him..

I felt Jack move his head, now being able to feel his breathing again my neck. Causing me to shiver a little bit. I heard him chuckle at the fact I shook, causing me to smile.. I'll let his teasing pass for once- If it makes him happy.

"Jack.?" I asked, getting another nod from him. "Can I kiss you.?" I asked, the nervousness kind of showing in my voice.

"I wouldn't mind-" I heard him whisper.

I gently cuffed his head, lifting it up so I could see his face, "You're so beautiful-" I told him, that time, I know I supposed him. I watched as a shade of blue kissed his face. Which, I took as him blushing-

I giggled at him, pulling him into a kiss.
