The Biggest Version ☀️💗

Here's a lil Jack x reader, where she experiences the end of the Maybe Man show. SPOILERS FOR THE TOUR AHEAD ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

"Jack?" You knocked on his door. "Jack, are you in there? It's show time you know." You knocked again. "Babe?"

"Uhh~" There was a crashing sound from the other side of the door. You winced worriedly. "Jack?"

"Yeah! Just one second~" Another crash. "Shit."

"Jack...?" You stepped towards the door. "Are you okay?"

"One second!" Jack said with a stronger tone, and you flinched.

"Okay, I'm just worried..."

You waited for a few moments more. There was more crashing, more banging, as well as a few grunts and pants from Jack. After a bit you decided that you needed to check on him. You swung open the door. "Jack?"

Jack whipped his head over to look at you. He was as big as the room. He stared at you, with eyes that were just as big as you were, and you stared at him, terrified. Your hands covered your mouth as you stared at him in silence.

"Y/N," Jack muttered.

"Jack..." you slowly reached up your hand to touch his cheek. He was uncomfortably squished into the room so that he was completely bent over, chest tucked over his knees and forehead meeting the floor. "Jack, how..."

"I don't know. I don't freaking know..." Jack shook his head with the limited room he had. "It's been happening...a lot...I get big...but no one sees it...then I'm normal again." His voice broke as he spoke.

"But...I see you. Here." You just didn't know what to do. "Jack..." you ran your hand over his face, and he closed his eyes with a long sigh.

"I'm so sorry," Jack murmured.

"No. Jack~" You tapped him on the nose. "Don't apologize for this. None of us know how this is happening. Like, let alone know about it at all."

Jack opened his eyes again, looking at you sadly. You didn't even know what to say to him. You hoped you could just be more calm.

"I get it if you just hate me now," Jack said. "It's okay. No person could love some ginormous freak." He chuckled bitterly.

"No, Jack. Jack listen. It doesn't matter how big you are. I still would want to be with you, and I do want to be with you," You said quickly. Jack looked towards you slowly, however he didn't have to speak at all before his form started shifting to be normal size again.

You gave Jack a smile as he unsteadily got to his feet, and you put your arms on either side of him to support him up. Jack sighed and stared at the floor for a few seconds, then looked up at you. He stared at you for a moment before throwing his arms around your neck. You rubbed his back to comfort him as you felt a few tears drop onto your neck and shoulders.

"I know, I know. Shh. It's okay. I got you, Jack." You held him for a while.

Jack was the first to pull away and rub his eyes. "I dunno, I dunno, I'm so sorry~"

"Shh, no. Don't say sorry, Jack. I don't know how this happened, but if you were still that big, and if it were to happen again, I would never not love you. You're everything to me."

Jack rubbed his cheeks. "Really?"

You nodded. "Mhm. I was ready to kiss you the second I entered the room."

Jack hesitated, then met his lips with yours. You smiled and Jack put his arms around your neck.

"You really are willing to be the biggest version of yourself," You said when your lips parted. Jack grinned happily.
