Winters Revenge

Chapter Thirty-One- Comfort- part 2

(Trigger warning ⚠: Talk of Abuse and Sexual assault)

Location: Jack's Room. Time: 3.50am

Elsa and Jack had found themselves walking through the hallways at the time of rest, the time was currently 3.50 in the morning and Elsa couldn't stop her heart from pounding loudly as they both came to a stop outside Jacks room. There fingers laced with one another's as Jack swiped the key card against the magnet unlocking the door with a click, he opened the wooden door as they walked inside. Elsa's eyes took in her surroundings as she caught the sight of the dark blue bedding that reminded her of their teenage years when he used to be obsessed with this one dark blue hoodie he refused to never not wear. Jack closed the door behind them as he made his way over to the small black sofa that was hugged in the corner of the room.

Jack "You wanna sit here?" he asked breaking the comfortable silence between them gesturing down to the sofa with his eyes.

Elsa casted her eyes onto the sofa as she looked up at him turning to face him as she smiled, her cheeks turned pink at the thought of asking him if she could just hug him and as she glanced to the floor Jack lifted her chin with his free hand raising her eyes to his. He could see the sapphire eyes twinkling back at him as he let out a chuckle from her red cheeks.

Jack "How come your blushing?" he teased while chuckling again.

Elsa "Oh nothing...." she pulled away from his hand.

Jack caught her hand just before she started to walk away, pulling her back slightly as she hit his chest. Her hand rested on his chest as she blushed about the fact she was doing so, Jack leant down pressing his soft lips against hers as he kissed her while she kissed him back. Elsa could feel his heart beating loudly rhythmically against his chest as it got louder while they kissed. Jack pulled away his mind was burning with a question that had been consuming his brain since they'd left the institute kitchen. His thumb caressed her cheek while continued to blush while the other was still laced with her fingers.

Jack "Els? Can I ask you a question?" he asked his heart beating loudly.

Elsa "Sure what is it?" she replied.

Jack "I hope you don't mind me asking but.... what was your nightmare actually about?"

Elsa "Oh...." she went silent not knowing how to respond.

Jack "It's okay you don't have to answer, I was.... Curious that's all." He says feeling guilty.

Elsa "Like I said earlier its hard to remember sometimes......"

Jack was silent he didn't know how to bring up the subject that he was curious about that he knew was going to upset her, but since the morning he'd seen her scream out it had been on his mind wondering if she had a nightmare then.

Jack "That morning.... when we both accidentally fell asleep talking all night...... you woke up screaming was that a nightmare?" he asked.

Elsa "Yeah.... It was." She grew sad.

Jack "And when I came into your room to come check on you that previous morning .... was that one too?"

Elsa nodded; she didn't really know how to respond to his questions it was already breaking her heart watching him frown at the answers she gave him.

Jack "Why didn't you just tell me? I could have tried to help and ...." He trailed off his mind placing the pieces together as he thought.

Jack "You said they were memories.... and that you were.... Scared of your dreams...... Elsa what exactly were you remembering?" he asked his heart breaking as he thought about the possible answer.
