Take Care Of Yourself

Kirsty's POV:
"Jackie, it's late. Come up to bed." I told my boyfriend who was on the sofa, working his cotton socks off to try and get his work done but he's been overworking himself all day. I could tell that he was tired, I could see he was overwhelmed by the pressure but he refused to believe himself.

"Just let me finish these emails, these have a very specific deadline. And I need to start this project for Blair tonight." Jack explained, not looking up from his laptop. I could tell that no matter how hard I tried he wasn't going to move and settle down until he got his work finished.

"Okay Bub, don't stay up too late." I told him, I leaned over the back of the sofa and hugged him from behind. I looked at his screen, it looked like Jack was writing a full on essay instead of an email.

"Love you Squish, hope you sleep well." He said, I kissed his head before heading back towards the bedroom. Vogue was hot on my ankles, desperate for attention.

"Hello Sausage, you wanna cuddle with me tonight?" I cooed before squatting down and picking her up, she was such an adorable ball of fluff. Not that it was his fault but I was going to be really lonely in bed tonight without my Clover, I needed a puppy to snuggle with. I got under the covers, Vogue sat on top and buried into the crook of my curled up legs.

"Night night, Voguey." I cooed before snuggling down into my mattress and drifting off to sleep. I just hope that Jack gets some sleep tonight.

I was snoozing, I was aware that it was morning as I could feel daylight from the gap in the curtains on my face. I moved my hand and felt around the bed to try and find Jack. The bed was cold, he wasn't there. I opened my eyes and stretched out to try and wake myself up, Vogue had decided to sleep on the fluffy rug on the floor. I got out of bed, put some fluffy socks on my feet and shuffled into the living room. Jack was still working, not on a laptop but what looked to me like a mood board.

"Jackie, did you get any sleep last night?" I sighed, this wasn't healthy for him if he overworked.

"Briefly, but only for like a couple minutes when I needed the toilet." Jack said.

"Babe, go to bed. You need sleep, you can finish your mood board later." I pleaded, Jack isn't going to do himself any favours if he carried on like this.

"I can't, Blair's picking it up later and it needs to be done otherwise he'll get proper pissed at me." I looked down at his mood board, it was about his aspirations for the future. I could see why Blair would want this but this wasn't deadline coursework for A level, it wouldn't be graded and this little project could be stretched to a time where it isn't a strain.

"Well, have you had any breakfast?" I asked him, he shook his head.

"What about last night, did you have any dinner?" I asked, I would be very concerned for his wellbeing if not.

"No, I haven't. I was too busy to make anything." Jack said. I sat down on the sofa, I needed to talk to him about this.

"Jack, you need to take care of yourself. You're going to make yourself sick if you carry on like this, you need to learn when to take a step back and relax." I told him, it isn't good for anyone.

"I don't want to disappoint anyone." Jack said, I noticed how red his eyes were. He was tired.

"Have you ever considered politely decline someone's offer?" I asked, Jack has a tendency to just go with whatever he's told.

"I always thought that would make me seem lazy, I am lazy but I do get my shit together." Jack defended himself.

"I know that, everyone knows that. You've proved yourself before, built up your reputation. No one will think less of you should you decide to turn down a project for something more important. Trust me on that." I told him, I held his hand and Jack took a deep breath.

"You're so smart at pep talks." He giggled, there's that giggle that I've missed for these last few days.

"Now will you come to bed?" I asked him, please say yes!

"Can I finish this mood board first, I promise I'll come to bed afterwards." Jack asked, I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"Alright Bub, I'm going to get some breakfast. I'll join you in a little while." I said, finally coming to an agreement with him. I went next door to the kitchen and made myself some toast and some tea, I wasn't in the mood to go all out and make bacon and eggs so hard bread it is. But I had some energy to spread some butter on it. I sat at the counter, taking small bites as my phone screen was distracting me, me and my sister were sending each other purely British memes. It was quite fun. As I'm scrolling through an instagram account page for memes I hear a massive THUD! I immediately got up, two thoughts racing through my mind, was Vogue in trouble or was Jack in trouble? I turned the corner, into the living room, where I saw Jack on the floor collapsed.

"Jack! Oh Baby, are you ok?" I asked him, I was so worried. I thought something like this was going to happen. He didn't respond. I grabbed up gently by the underarms and pulled him back onto the sofa. I knelt down bedside him and checked him over for any injuries, he had a little scratch on his cheek from where he landed on the floor but apart from that he was fine. I felt his forehead, he didn't have a fever, he wasn't sick so I came to the conclusion or even self diagnosis that he passed out due to being overly tired and hungry. Jack started shifting around and moving, he opened his eyes and whimpered.

"Try and take it easy Bubs, you just collapsed." I told him, I ran my hand through his hair to try and settle him down.

"Now you see why I was so worried about you getting enough sleep?" I asked him, he nodded sadly and tiredly. He just needed to rest and eat something.

"Let me get you a snack Baby, then you can take your nap." I said, I pulled the throw blanket over his weak body and kissed his forehead before I made my way to the kitchen. I'd saved some salted caramel cookies for later but Jack needed some sugar in him so I took them, I quickly filled up a glass of water before going back to the sofa.

"Here you go Jack, eat the cookie and have some water for me please." I told him, I passed him the food which he started to nibble on. Once he'd finished I made him drink the whole glass of water before I got him nice and comfy on the sofa.

"I finished the mood board by the way." Jack said whilst yawning, I was fluffing up a pillow for him.

"Oh yeah, what is your biggest aspiration you want to achieve?" I asked out of curiosity, the board was full of ideas I couldn't guess what his favourite was.

"To spend the rest of my life with the most beautiful, kindest and adorable women in the entire world." He said, that made me blush.

"Aww Babe, that's so sweet." I cooed, giving him another forehead kiss as I tucked him in.

"Sweet dreams Bubba, Wuvoo." I cooed softly.

"Wuvoo Squish." Jack cooed before falling asleep, having learnt a valuable lesson about self care.
