Only a single word, in all the many languages Jack had learned over the years, came to mind at that very moment. That word was adorable.
Jack had only planned to take a brief respite in his room, hoping for a small break to ease the tension in his back and give his tired feet a moment of relief after enduring several surgeries that morning. He reclined against the soft pillows of his bed, letting out a slight sigh of relief as he settled in, but the solitude didn't last long. Just a few moments after Jack found comfort, his nurse, Y/n, entered his room.
He wasn't quite sure why she had come, but her presence quickly filled the air with an unexpected warmth. As she looked at him, her eyes sparkled with a touch of mischief when she noticed how cozy he seemed. Without a moment's hesitation or a single word to ask permission, she climbed into the bed beside him, her small frame fitting naturally against his as if they were two puzzle pieces that belonged together.
Now, they lay together, with Y/n's head resting against Jack's broad chest. Her arms were wrapped around him like a reassuring embrace, snug and secure, as if she sought to shield him from the world outside. Her knees nestled between his legs, a playful gesture that softened the lingering discomfort of his day. Jack couldn't help but notice how her toes wiggled with delight, a small, joyful movement that seemed to radiate pure happiness in that tranquil moment. The peaceful ambiance in the room enveloped them, and he felt a sense of comfort wash over him, making the exhaustion of the day fade away.
Jack gently wrapped his arms around her smaller frame, rubbing her back ever so softly. He chuckled "My, my Y/,n you certainly seem to be in a clingy mood today."
"hummm..." Y/nan softly huffed in protest at his words. Nuzzling her nose into the small gap at the top of his waistcoat, she rubbed the tip of her nose against the thin shirt fabric.
His hand, again, gently rubbed up and down her back. "I'm not saying it's a bad thing, my love."
She remained silent,
Jack smiled, shifting a little to adjust himself. "Sleepy?" As he ran his fingers through her hair he pulled a few hair ties out carefully. He gently set them aside as he continued running his fingers through her hair, combing it out with his fingers.
She shook her head. "Noo.... Not sleepy." She quietly whined like a child being told to go to bed.
"No?" Jack teased. he smiled as he continued running his fingers through her hair, he knew she was tired but also knew that she was going to be stubborn about it. "You aren't tired, but you're whining like a spoiled child?"
"your whining like a.... A... Wine glass."
"A wine glass?" He raised an eyebrow at her response. "What on earth do you mean by that?"
"Wine glasses. They whine.."
"Wine glasses don't whine. They.... They resonate, my love." He gently poked at her head in a teasing manner, his smile still there as he played with her hair and rubbed at her neck.
".... You're a resinplate."
"I- Uh-" He gasped, but Jack couldn't help but laugh at this, even if it did make hardly any sense. But he knew what she meant, so he played along. "Yes, I'm a 'resinplate'," He repeated with a chuckle. he leaned down and pressed a kiss to the top of her head.
She opened her mouth and let out a long yawn as her eyes drooped.
"Go ahead, just take a small nap." He told her,
She grumbled sleepily, rubbing her face against his chest. "No. You're a space rat." She said,
"I'm a space rat?" he asked. "H-How did a small nap become a space rat in your mind?" Jack laughed,
She nodded. "Going to the mooooonnn for the cheese." She yawned
"Going to the moon for the cheese huh?" Jack laughed, "Sure, off we go." He laughed, kissing her head.
She yawned one final time before she began to softly wheeze.
Jack gave a soft smile, watching her sleep. "One day... I swear to god. I am going to open your skull and see what the fuck is going on in that brain of yours Y/n." he joked,
